About

Ninja Tune favorite Funki Porcini serves up jagged breakbeats encrusted with phenomenal aural atmospherics. Downplaying a cheeky sense of humor, this Londoner translates aural anecdotes from extensive world travels into delectable Downtempo goodness. Influenced by hip-hop, blues, Soul, Funk and beat poetry, Funki Porcini composes abstract tapestries that recall the past and foretell the future, like a finger-paint project from an old soul trapped in the body of a five-year-old child prodigy. From jazz-infected Trip-Hop complexity to manic Drum 'n' Bass abstraction, these Funk-fueled vibes make for pleasing wallpaper during an after-dinner ritual of espresso and a cigarette, or mood-matching sonic accompaniment to a good-natured temper tantrum.
