Function to Deliver Berghain 07 Mix Album
The free mix and accompanying EPs of exclusive tracks will land in May.
After converting formats to a free digital mix album series (instead of the traditional CD) with Ryan Elliot’s Berghain 06 contribution last year, Ostgut Ton‘s Berghain mix series is set to return in May with Dave Sumner (a.k.a. Function) at its helm. Sumner’s monthly Berghain residency (and, according to a press release, “particularly his extended closing set in February 2015”) and recent tour dates are said to have had a significant influence on the upcoming mix album, which will include exclusive tracks from the likes of DVS1, L.B. Dub Corp, Cassegrain & Tin Man, and Inland (with whom Sumner co-runs the Infrastructure New York label), among others. Furthermore, Sumner is said to have made use of Rane’s new MP2015 Rotary Mixer during the course of putting the collection together, which “has played a crucial role in [the mix’s] overall sound.”
While no tracklist has been shared for Function’s Berghain 07 mix as of yet, the details of its accompanying EPs of exclusive material have been shared, with both records’ respective artwork and tracklists having been included below; both EPs and the full Berghain 07 mix album are slated to arrive on May 18.
