AUS!Funkt

AUSFunkt is a Toronto-based art-disco/post-punk quartet that combines the groove of electronic music with the subversive aggression of post-punk. Formed in 2015, the band rejects the lyrical and musical excesses of rock, instead focusing on a gritty, simple, and repetitive sound that provokes the mind with its realism and repetition. Their music features electronic beats, noisy guitar, and melodic basslines, creating an unsettling yet danceable disco groove. AUSFunkt's sound has evolved to incorporate elements of electronica, dub, disco, garage rock, and blues, maintaining a unique blend of styles. The band's diverse background, with members from Portugal and Serbia, adds to their eclectic musical approach.

AUSFunkt has released several notable tracks and EPs, including "Information YEAH!" and the "Post-Stagnation" EP. Their recent releases, such as "My Way / Interception," showcase their ability to blend pulsating electronic beats with post-punk melodies. The band's music often explores themes relevant to contemporary society, though they aim to keep their message fun and thought-provoking rather than overtly political. AUSFunkt's live performances are known for their energy and unpredictability, often featuring unexpected song choices that keep audiences engaged.
