The Funk Lab dropped their first vinyl ep release near the end of 1996. Through 95 and 96, the two had begun working on music together. The lab had begun to define their sound, fusing elements of funky breaks and electro and calling it Funk Lab. With influences coming from their efforts as DJs within the breaks community, the two had been immersed within the sound that they had come to love. With a diverse back catalog ranging from straight Florida style funky breaks to the dark, moody electro, and bangin' electro-hard house, the Funk Lab has engaged a variety of listeners from both the US and abroad.

As soon as the first release was available on vinyl, licensing requests began from labels such as Street Beat, Adrenalin, Journees, Zazoo, Pioneer, and others. Tracks became staples of electro and funky breaks mix compilations as well as backing music for MTV programming and EA's "Need For Speed IV High Stakes" for the Sony Playstation. The Funk Lab was breaking new ground and finding new fans within a diverse universe of media.

During the early years of the Funk Lab conception the idea was the possibly doing a live performance, bringing the fans and artists together, exploring the music, re-mixing, and re-shaping the tunes that had drawn them in. The first several shows were enough to propel several years worth of weekend touring, playing from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Vancouver, Canada with gigs in most major cities friendly to dance music and more especially breaks. These Live performances drove the inspiration to continue to push the limits of what could be done with live sequencing. Utilizing two MPC2000's, loaded with zip drives and mixing board (and other various hardware) at the shows became the staple of the live Funk Lab experience. Manipulating the sequences, the audio, the music with outboard effects and creative mixing allowed the shows to become a life of their own. No two were ever the same. Ever.

Later the Funk Lab focused on bringing even more to the table. Starting a sub-label, Overhead Records, which became an outlet for a little less familiar sounding material. The label concept was that of an experiment with neighboring artists. While working on the sub label, C4, decided to pursue the electro-funky-break-hard-house sound. Becoming the House Wrecka, he released a series of successful tunes on the Hallucin8 Trax label, run by The Monk of Hallucination Records. Darryl (B.Nice) continued to pursue the darker, electro/nu-break/funk sound with a number of releases on both the FLR Imprint and others such as Afterdark Records.

Presently The Funk Lab is working on new material and will be continuing to release music digitally through a partnership with Nulogic Records. These releases will be available through vendors such as Beatport, iTunes, and many others. Please stay tuned. <<MORE INFO>>
