After the unmitigated success of Last Step’s eponymous debut, Aaron Funk re-ignites his odd-time-signatured electronic disco pseudonym for more off-kilter analogue adventures. This time it’s party-time: a celebration! Hence the cake… Everyone knows Aaron (a.k.a. Venetian Snares) as a pioneering breakcore producer, but 1961 is a collection of joy-filled jumpy acid manoeuvres, funky grooves and kitsch beats. The opening track “My Home Recordings” sets the tone with Aaron’s trademark attention to detail, ever shifting arrangements & strong acid bass line, a recurring theme throughout the recording.
