Frustrated Funk Novedades

Descend To Ascend brings back our favorite drummer boy with more of his signature hyper-advanced beat physics. And if you don't understand any of this, please take a step back and try again. Limited first run on Coke Bottle green vinyl.

Order for repress early next year!



Continuing the saga, mad mad drama. No overhyped faces to find here, just straight up techno from the heart. Lost Trax... Beware!!..

Roland Corporation's MKS-50 form 1986 is a rack-mount version of the Alpha Juno. It has the same synth engine and architecture, but with added features like 16 programmable chord memories, the ability to store velocity, volume, panning, de-tune, portamento and other similar parameters within each patch you create. The optional PG-300 gives traditional slider type control of all editable tone parameters which include DCO (digitally controlled oscillators) LFO, bend, ENV, pulse, waveforms, noise, PW/PWM, high pass filter, VCF (filter) with freq/env/res/LFO/kybd, VCA envelope, chorus, and more. Adapta delivers a project based on this legendary MKS-50 synth. Tracks created with technology from the past, aimed for the future. Techno!!

Another season awakens with the return of Reedale Rise.

2025 Transparant Magenta vinyl

Our personal mental health worker Reedale Rise is serving us his sweet medical blend of high hanging fruits. Making sure to keep La Familia Frustrada from going insane..

While the drama continues and we keep fighting the demons of our daily struggle,.. a man from another place locked himself down in a black lodge, conceiving new material to share with the world. 214 isn't just a number, it's music from an extradimensional place, high up the North Bend mountains. Frequencies coming from a red room, filled with electronic circuitry parallel connected to our inner soul. Lyle At Dawn is Chris Romans third offering for the Frustrated Funk familia. Setting the pace for more to come, as we connect to the Shipwrec multiverse for a full album release to follow shortly after this mind bending EP. You have been warned..

2018 repress of this highly limited heavyweight classic. Clatterbox is no joke! Regular pressing black vinyl... don't sleep!

During the mid-nineties, David Kempston secured himself a considerable following while recording releases for the seminal UK labels Clear and Evolution/Universal Language. He went on to produce music under various guises including the solid house sounds of Cartel Productions and his darker electro alias Clatterbox.

2023 Repress

2017 Remastered version of FR004 b/w additional track ''Let's Bang'', taken from the original 1997's Cybonic In Effect EP. Parental Advisory Frustrated Funk straight from the 313. Keep hanging!!

2023 Repress with alternate label-art. Collectable FF release alert by E.R.P. aka Convextion aka Gerard Hanson.. The man with the tear-jerking string electro-techno, maybe even better known for pioneering Texas rooftop alligator wrestling. Highly recommended!!

Repress on clear crystal clear / solid blue vinyl:

2024 Repress

Valuable remastered reissue of this Frustrated Funk classic from 2005. Updated artwork. Sonically enhanced audio. Same drama.

Repress with alternate label-art (again!!). UK based Emile Facey joins the frustrada familia bringing a heavy, ice cold and highly emotive 3 track EP. Much in the vein of E.R.P. and the likes, but with a sharper sounding more abstract approach. Highly recommended!

Repress on transparent magenta / black vinyl:

My log saw something, something significant... Shut your eyes and you will burst into flames.

A much needed 12-inch sampler for Adapta's critically acclaimed Memory Program album. Originally released as cassette and digital download through Miami's Schematic Music Company. Beware!!..

One day my Log will have something to say about this. My Log saw something that night...

WARNING!: This record explores the second verification of the origins of rotation in tornadoes experiment, VORTEX2. This sonic experiment is designed to explore the mechanisms of tornadogenesis, maintenance, and demise, the wind field near the ground in tornadoes, the relationship between tornadoes and their parent thunderstorms and the relationship among tornadoes, tornadic storms and the larger scale environment. This is the Supercellular Tornadogenesis. Hazards may occur! Beware!!..

2x12"

Gator wrestling power pack... Beware..!!

This split release between Frustrated Funk and Indulge Records sees FF head honcho klen Ovatow reconnecting with Indulge's Oliver Kapp, a link that was established all the way back in the mid/late 90s. Celebrating with a remastered version of Kapp's Piston Rings (ME-01), one of the tracks that kickstarted the Indulge imprint in 1996. And on the FF side Ovatow reshaped Kapp's The Trail into a 12 minute deep dive. Obviously not your typical techno.. Beware!!..

repressed !

Texan bandpass thrills and some harbour city sorrow on this split Frustrated Funk / DPX twelve.

Beware!.. This is an adapted relic from a past future... Know your technos!

2019 Repress with alternate label-art.

Seattle's Chris Roman returns after his amazing release on little sister label Harbour City Sorrow. Again he drops his signature Miami rooted beats for an EP that will make any floor rock. Sculpting hi-tech electronica with loud pads, big strings and precise rhythm programming. The Submanouvers EP is no sissy copycat electro but a powerful record with his own unique signature style. Two Fourteen is no joke!!

Can't stop us...!!
