Techno legend Function returns with solo LP, Existenz, on Tresor

Featuring house icon Robert Owens.

Function, aka NYC producer David Sumner, is back with Existenz, his second solo album, out this November via Tresor.

Existenz is an exploration of religion, sexuality, trauma and healing through the lens of 1980s American cable television.

Its 17-tracks were recorded between late-2016 to mid-2019, with cameos from house icon Robert Owens and Sumner’s life partner Stefanie Parnow.

Existenz follows Function’s Recompiled archival releases on Ostgut Ton sub-label A-TON – one of our favourite reissues of 2017.
