Dekmantel Mix 511 - Function & Nastia Reigel

Techno heavyweights Function and Nastia Reigel first came together over a shared love of early, rave-leaning and transcendental grooves. After months swapping tunes from both the old and the new school, they got to work in the studio and, in May, dropped their Devocion EP on Dekmantel. The four tracker explores broody and melancholic techno that is doused in emotion with plenty of shadowy atmosphere and deep rolling rhythms. Off the back of that, they have now put together a mix that explores this world even further with tracks from the likes of Donato Dozzy and Regis, plus two from their own EP. The drums are quick and the mixing is tight as the pair seamlessly traverse sounds that veer from the futuristic to the psychoactive. It's colourful techno that goes way beyond pure body music.
