After four years of techno EPs for Delsin and Ann Aimee, Niels Luinenburg aka Delta Funktionen has finished his debut full length, Traces, due for release on June 18th 2012.
Though still very much couched in techno, the album sees Dutchman Delta – who recently mixed it up for Ann Aimee on their Inertia compilation – explore plenty of new sonic territory, as he often does in his long ranging DJ sets. It's adventurous, basically, and is an album that doesn't loose itself in intricate sound design, but instead pairs a raw, machine made aesthetic with plenty of real human soul and palpable earthly emotion.
Says the man himself… "Traces is about my long time research into electronic music. It covers tracks that make reference to my favourite subgenres within electronic music: techno, house, electro and (Italo)-disco. There was no specific idea behind it because the album contains tracks made over a long time. Some are 3 years old, others were made this year, but in the end I think it sounds like a coherent piece of work."
It certainly does that, but so too does the album cover lots of ground, with not all of it completely focussed on the dancefloor. Made using a mixture of drum machines, FM and digital synthesizers, various bits of hardware and digital FX units, the whole thing was sequenced in Ableton with plenty of sample use to finish it off.
From the atmospheric openings of blissful electro joint "Frozen Land" through the sultry and searching acid of "Enter" and on to more forceful cuts like "Redemption", this is an album for listening to as much as it is for dancing. Mood driven landscapes like "Onkalo" prove that, but you'll have to check it out for yourself to get a real appreciation of the story Delta Funktionen is telling.

What a great mixed bag of goodies. I'm glad Niels didn't choose to make a full on techno record. This is so much more satisfiying. Utopia sounds like the best Eindhoven techno in years. and I love the bold and length of On Distant Journey. Favorite track is the magical Challenger. But that can change when I am in a club next week. Review for DJB. at 11:00PM on June 8th, 2012

really nice album—as usual, stylistically it's all over the place but unified by the production values and his sheer confidence. delta just seems like a guy who knows so much about—and loves—all kinds of techno, and it comes through in this sort of hybridized, between subgenre stuff. populist techno but not simple techno. at 12:02AM on June 8th, 2012

There is more Rotterdam and Den Haag than Amsterdam in this album.
There is a well balance between analogue and digital FXs.
I think 'Tracez' is a very well defined-state of the art-techno album of a Dutch kind. Especially 'Target', 'Utopia' and 'Redemption'. Will chart, review and play! at 11:36PM on May 28th, 2012
