Venetian Snares

The Profile

Venetian Snares is the recording alias of Canadian electronic musician Aaron Funk, a key figure in breakcore known for complex, irregular time signatures and a prolific, genre-bending discography.

Real name: Aaron Funk; Canadian; active 1998–present; prominent in breakcore/IDM; noted for irregular meters (e.g., 7/4); notable albums include Rossz Csillag Alatt Született, The Chocolate Wheelchair Album, Songs About My Cats, Winnipeg Is a Frozen Shithole, and Detrimentalist.

Six DeBaser reviews paint Venetian Snares (Aaron Funk) as a Canadian breakcore powerhouse with ferocious beats, odd meters, and a taste for provocation. Highlights span orchestral mashups (Rossz Csillag Alatt Szuletett), feline tributes (Songs About My Cats), and a Winnipeg-flavored broadside. Expect gabber, jungle shards, glitch, and drill’n’bass detours, plus many references to Aphex Twin. Not exactly easy listening—very much electrified fun.
