FunkinEven

A producer seemingly motivated by George Clinton, Prince, Larry Noticed, the Neptunes, Bugz in the Attic, and Sa-Ra in slightly different quantities, FunkinEven — given birth to Steven Tony Julien in Western London, Britain — is among the essential artists from the revered Eglo label. He debuted on Eglo in November 2009 using the chunky “Kleer,” a wholly contemporary synth-funk single offering vocals from Fatima, a fellow patron of East London’s Plastic material People golf club. For another many years, FunkinEven continued to be unstable, as he juggled inspirations while placing his own contact on each 12″ launch. A few of his most innovative work could be noticed on “Spirit Glo” (a 2010 creation for Fatima), the Roland’s Jam 12″ (Eglo, 2011), the Fatima cooperation Phoneline (Eglo, 2012), and Varieties (Broadwalk, 2013). He in addition has collaborated with Delroy Edwards and Kyle Hall (as FunkinEvil), remixed songs by famous brands Ikonika and Ossie, and released extra productions on his Apron label. In January 2014, he released a three-track 12″ of minimal synth and acidity, beneath the name St. Julien, on Apron.
