About Sascha Funke
Berlin's Sascha Funke is best known for creating tuneful, sentimental techno influenced by synth pop and new wave. A longtime associate of Kompakt and BPitch Control, two of Germany's most highly regarded techno labels, his work bridges the precision and pop instincts of the former with the latter's touch of playful aggression. Initially surfacing with a series of trippy, upbeat minimal techno 12"s during the late '90s and early 2000s, he began releasing full-lengths in 2003, expanding his sound to incorporate warm, tender vocals and brighter melodies, as well as post-punk-influenced guitars, on releases like 2008's Mango. Funke formed the duo Saschienne with his wife Julienne Dessagne (Fantastic Twins). His subsequent solo work, particularly 2016's In Relationen, has often placed a greater emphasis on his Krautrock and ambient influences. Following a set of remixes of his enduring track "MZ," Funke released fourth album Planes in Reverse in 2026.
