Experimental producer Venetian Snares (or Aaron Funk, if you’re into real names) is from Winnipeg. I always forget this! Since my main experience with Venetian Snares is from an album referred to as The Hungarian Album (but actually titled Rossz csillag alatt született), I always assume he’s from Hungary. But this really doesn’t make a lot of sense, since every album by a Hungarian artist then could be “The Hungarian Album.” But my brain thinks dumb thoughts. This should be no reflection on Venetian Snares, whose brain seems to think rather intelligent thoughts.
Venetians Snares doesn’t have any (announced) plans to go to Hungary any time soon, but he will be relatively close this fall. Our buds at FACT report that the producer is going on a European tour for about a month this fall. The world must hear his beats or, at least, this chunk of the world must hear his beats. Antarctica will probably not hear Venetian Snares’ beats any time soon. Well, I mean, they could through a record or MP3s or something. But they’re probably not going to, because there’s only like a thousand people there and they’re all scientists. So, the chance of one being a Venetian Snares fan is pretty low and… forget it.
