If you've spent any significant portion of time during the past ten years in any club dedicated to underground dance music, it's more than likely that you've shaken your ass uncontrollably to the music of our guest this week, David Sumner-aka Function
Although shrouded in pre-release white labels and multiple pseudonyms, Sumner's forward musical vision as a producer/remixer and DJ has left its indelible influence on the international techno scene several times over and continues to redefine the genre's parameters as it moves into the 21st Century.
His uncanny ability to rock the crowd and please the heads both as a DJ and live performer have made him a regular face headlining events and festivals across the US and in 20 countries worldwide alongside some of the world's greatest talent. In addition, he has been booked and held down residencies at all of New York City's top nightspots and parties including Limelight, Twilo, Vinyl, Tronic Treatment, Arc, Sound Factory, Drinkland and Tunnel.
As a producer and remixer, David has been both critically and publicly acclaimed. His career as a producer began in 1996 with the successful release of his first 12", f(q): The Function of Bandwidth EP for Damon Wild's Synewave label as Function, his best known alter-ego. Since, his music has been appearing regularly on mix compilations, radio show play lists, and charts of many top DJ's like Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Steve Bicknell, Adam Beyer and The Advent, just to name a few. David has gone on to release countless works and started his own imprint and production company, Infrastructure. Infrastructure was designed as a palette to support his own work while including peers like Regis and Ben Sims to do split releases like Inf-06/Symbolism02 and 'The Balance of Power'.
David is also well-known and respected for his work as the front man of Portion Reform and working closely with Karl O'Connor (Regis) for the UK based, cult techno label, Downwards. Continuing to push techno's outer limits of experimentation, he is the only person outside of Surgeon, Regis, Female and Ian J. Richardson to record for Downwards. His work has also been featured on labels including Theory, Internal, Integrale, and Audio in addition to developing his own imprints Infrastructure, Ctrl., Abuser, Dialect and Annex.
So far the future is looking bright for both David and Infrastructure. The latest release is INF-08 Substance vol. 1featuring Function 'Montage' and O/V 'Kes' IanJ. Richardson (Downwards Exclusive) which has already sold out and is receiving critical acclaim.
Tune in, sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds from Gotham City…….
