Start here.

A drum machine and the groove engine that drives it. Put GLAPP in front of BETONG and the beat starts to drag and breathe. Then try the demos: every machine in the hall has one. KOLV builds the whole track, FRÄS chops it into funk, KULVERT drags it into the basement and SMIDET hammers out the riffs.

BETONG

Polyrhythm techno drum machine

GLAPP plugin interfaceView full size ↗
FREE · MIDI GROOVE

GLAPP

Micro-timing groove engine

Makes no sound. Sends MIDI to BETONG or any drum machine and decides when every hit lands. It is the human drag of a great techno drummer: rims a hair late, percs drifting, the kick nailed to the grid. Put it in front of a stiff loop and hear it start to breathe.

  • Rims drag, percs drift, the kick stays the anchor
  • Nothing loops the same twice
  • 200 presets, style-aware dice

From the floor

They said.

Real words from people who make music with the machines. Sent to us through the store and on Facebook.

My inspiration had been lost for a couple of years. I kept frantically scrolling through synth presets, giving each one five minutes before moving on to the next, and the next. The first plugins I tried were BETONG and KOLV. I got hooked for over an hour and caught myself standing up with the MIDI controller, dancing. My inspiration had been hiding in MASKINHALLEN.

Been bending minds and making noises since 1989, and I think these plugins are great! Instant inspiration. Thanks!
Mårten *******
All 15 programs are absolutely fantastic; it’s been a long time since I’ve bought something this good. Have a good time!
Nikola ****
Thank you, your plug-in is awesome!

It’s really sparking my creativity… highly recommended stuff!

KOLV plugin interfaceView full size ↗
TRACK BUILDERREBUILTMac + Windows + Linux

KOLV

Rebuilt from scratch. A techno conductor that builds the whole track while it plays: the beat stumbles, mutates and grows for hours without repeating. Load BETONG or any VST3/AU into its rack and it plays them for you. Turn up KAOS and it gets wilder, push ENERGI and it builds. Leave it running while you tweak and it keeps throwing new ideas at you.

  • Builds and evolves a full techno track while it plays
  • Runs for hours without repeating itself
  • Plays your own plugins from its rack

SMUTS plugin interfaceView full size ↗
LOOP CHOPPERMac + Windows + Linux

SMUTS

Drop in a loop or your whole library at once. SMUTS chops it, sorts the slices by sound and builds new beats in the Perlon basement spirit: micro-timing drag with the kick as anchor, loops that interlock and answer each other, patterns that slowly drift out of phase. Chaos out of order. Experimental, never off the rails.

  • Import whole sample libraries in one go
  • Slices sorted by sound, rebuilt into new grooves
  • Loops interlock and drift in and out of phase

FREE DEMO ↓ Mac · Windows · Linux

SPÅN plugin interfaceView full size ↗
MICROSAMPLERMac + Windows + Linux

SPÅN

Load any sound and SPÅN shaves it into hundreds of tiny slices, then plays them back as 90s/00s minimal: clicks, ticks, chopped tones and little melodies that never quite repeat. The loop never closes, so the groove keeps moving under your hands.

  • Any sound becomes a minimal groove
  • Hundreds of micro-slices from one sample
  • Pairs with VENTIL for swing and dub echo

Synths & bass

ARMERING plugin interfaceView full size ↗
SYNTHMac + Windows + Linux

ARMERING

A synth built for minimal and percussive techno. Two wavetable oscillators run through skewed filters, and euclidean rhythms play the filter for you, so a single held note turns into a moving, polymetric riff. Stuck? Hit the dice in any section and get a fresh idea.

  • Two wavetable oscillators, skewed filters
  • Euclidean rhythms and polymeter on the filter
  • Dice in every section

FREE DEMO ↓ Mac · Windows · Linux

TURBIN plugin interfaceView full size ↗
SYNTHMac + Windows + Linux

TURBIN

The big one. Two wavetable chambers feed a phase-mod hub, then two filters that can purr or scream. Around 300 sounds to start from: deep basses, fat leads, odd acid lines and dark pads. Huge when you want it, always musical.

  • Two wavetable chambers and a phase-mod hub
  • Two filters, from warm to screaming
  • Around 300 sounds ready to play

FREE DEMO ↓ Mac · Windows · Linux

SMIDET plugin interfaceView full size ↗
SYNTHMac + Windows + Linux

SMIDET

Four smiths hammer skewed euclidean patterns on glowing metal, no samples. The rings drift apart but always land on the one, and rhythm turns into riffs, basslines and dub stabs. Change one ring and the whole riff shifts.

  • Four euclidean smiths on modal metal
  • Riffs, basslines and dub stabs from pure rhythm
  • HAMMER, GLOW, ECHO, ROOM, CHAOS and SUB

FASFEL plugin interfaceView full size ↗
SYNTHMac + Windows + Linux

FASFEL

Dry wood, metal and glass knocks that sit above your drums and bass, in the spirit of Perlon, M_nus and Profan. Drag one dot across the map between TORR, SNED, FULL and KALL and the knocks change character and color. That is the whole idea.

  • Microtonal knocks and clicks
  • One XY map instead of a wall of knobs
  • Made to sit over BETONG and GRUND

FREE DEMO ↓ Mac · Windows · Linux

GRUND plugin interfaceView full size ↗
BASS SYNTHMac + Windows + Linux

GRUND

A bass that behaves like a physical object: mass, bounce, friction. Deep subs and tiny plucks for minimal techno that react to every move you make. Built for turning knobs live, not scrolling presets. Put it under BETONG and the floor starts to move.

  • Subs and micro-plucks for minimal techno
  • Mass, bounce and friction instead of menus
  • Made to sit under BETONG

VENTIL plugin interfaceView full size ↗
EFFECTMac + Windows + Linux

VENTIL

Swings anything with 90s/00s groove, adds living drift and throws dub echo only where it belongs. Put it on a stiff loop and it starts to sway like it was played on old hardware. The perfect partner for SPÅN.

  • Living drift, never static
  • Dub echo only where it belongs

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.

FAQ

Good to know.

Anything else? Ask through the store and the person who built the machines answers.

What do I need?

A Mac with macOS 11 or later (Intel or Apple Silicon), 64-bit Windows 10/11, or 64-bit Linux (x86_64). Any host that loads VST3, AU or LV2.

Are the free ones really free?

Yes. BETONG and GLAPP are full versions. No email, no time limit, no noise.

Do they run on Windows?

Yes. Every machine comes for Mac and 64-bit Windows 10/11. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway.

Is the interface in English?

Yes. The machines have Swedish names on the panel, but one click on SV | EN in the logo switches every label, menu and tooltip to English. Your choice is remembered across all machines. Preset names stay Swedish on purpose.

Do they run on Linux?

Yes. Every machine comes as VST3 and LV2 for 64-bit Linux (x86_64). The installer puts them in ~/.vst3 and ~/.lv2. Works in Bitwig, Reaper, Ardour and other Linux hosts.

How do I pay?

Card or PayPal through Payhip, in euro. VAT is handled automatically. You get the download link straight away. The bundle of all 13 machines is at its launch price, €89.

Do I get updates?

Yes. New versions of what you bought are free. Download again from your Payhip receipt or the email Payhip sent you.

Do they work together?

They are built as one system. GLAPP drives BETONG, GRUND sits under it, FASFEL knocks above it, KULVERT puts it all in a basement, and KOLV conducts the lot.
