Labfunk

Labfunk is Martin Iveson’s second album, and, though he remains critical of his own work, is his best release to date. Smooth and polished without ending up sounding like a second rate wine bar soundtrack, Labfunk pushes in the opposite direction to the house music’s current fascination with electronic influences.

Sharing common ground with King Britt, the eleven tracks teem with punchy beats, tasteful brass, sensuous strings and the occasional vocal, making for a gorgeous succession of home listening house music that rarely lapses into noodly self-indulgence. The second house revolution is coming, it’s time to lie down for your rights!
