The machines.

Every plugin is named after something you find on a building site or in a machine hall, and built to sound like a damp concrete floor.

About

Built in a
shipyard.

In the 90s, Stockholm's heaviest techno club was in a rattling shipyard. It was called Docklands.

That's where I learned how techno should feel: the bass that makes the steel plates rattle, the floor that sweats, and the rhythm that drags behind, stumbles, and still always lands on the one.

Someone once said my music sounds like a damp concrete floor. I took it as a compliment.

I have spent twenty years working with my hands on machines. Now I build the ones I always wanted in my studio.

Phunkshunz AUDIO is a name I have carried since I was a kid. It is a play on "function": machines that do one thing, and do it hard.
