"funk" = radio "störung" = distortion. Distorted funk indeed.
Rosenheim, Germany's production duo Michael Fakesch and Chris De Luca have an unforgettably unique and recognizable sound. First found on a compilation of their remixes entitled Additional Productions (1999), then on their Appetite for Disctruction (April 2000) full-length debut, Funkstörung's unrivaled vocal-splicing, groove-shredding, taste-proliferating style is equally strong on Vice Versa - their second compilation of remixes to date.
Dosing each of their remixes with an injection of electronic noise, digital soul, and cinematic ambience, Funkstörung are purveyors of futuristic form. Boasting original tracks by A Guy Called Gerald, Jean Michel Jarre, Nils Patter Molvaer, and other internationally known producers, Vice Versa is a hip-hop inflected blend of jazz, electro, and drum'n'bass, brought full-circle by Funkstörung's masterful studio wizardry.
Rare production talents make Funkstörung one of dance music's most in-demand remix outfits out there. Having contributed remixes for artists like Björk, Wu-Tang Clan, and the East Flatbush Project, Funkstörung has always defied musical boundaries by crossing and blending genres to create something entirely their own. On Vice Versa, Fakesch and De Luca seduce their listeners into a near-catatonic, alluringly-hypnotic pleasure state - truly a Funkstörung trademark.
Funkstörung recently announced that they had seperated as a group on their newly-designed website although this can only be good news to fans as both Chris De Luca and Michael Fakesch are now persuing solo careers.

Funkstörung Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna tes drive
Hop in my testarossa
Sound kit down control crews no chauffer
Whipping corners windows down tes spitting
Hitting spots forbidden g-shock no skipping
Bqe to both ends tes beats in the backround
Hit a bump bounce like hydrolics
Gas low no cash flow wallets screaming feed me dollars
Double park jackson chase
Off to hess goes tes fill me up with the best
Fuel for fame license plates
Tight breaks nothing accidental
Engine most fine tuned unlimited potential
Bust through road blocks surpass where the road stops
Four wheel drive voice command look ma no hands
Still in command park where i rest
Till i start with the next
Doors lift up flip up fly text
That's right it's tes catch my testarossa
Seen em all come close
They all got driven over
Peep my testarossa right there with mercedes
In a snapshot car and driver rap plot
Enduro gold to turbo tes
Pop a face for cassettes
Oil change and free wash alpine scents
Leave sirens out the rearview oil slicks and smoke
As far as i'm concerned they could all choke
You could be a spy hunter with a word bond like james
Ain't no tracing my trails invisible lanes
Super getaways db cooper
Give plenty chase
Nitro means you still can't see me trooper
This is the game of life demolition deface mics
On some yes yes all yee hah no ramps
Just a push of my thumb
Leaping canyons on some evil and son
Auto chute help me land wheels on sand
Wheels that float a chopper to propell on note
Driving on beats that are broke
You can eat my dust hear me reving grand prix
Indy five tight grip atari fuck ferrari
It's my testarossa
In the song "Fat Camp Feva" by Funkstörung feat. Tes, the lyrics describe Tes driving his Testarossa, an iconic car of the 1980s, through the city streets. Tes is in complete control of the vehicle, and the beat of the music is in sync with the revving of the engine. Despite having a low fuel tank and empty wallet, pulling up to a gas station is effortless for Tes because of his unlimited potential and voice-controlled engine. He is shown as invincible, with no roadblocks or barriers, and he can effortlessly jump canyons and land perfectly with the help of his auto chute. Tes also expresses his disdain for those who try to follow him, as they all end up getting driven over by his Testarossa. Overall, the lyrics are a tribute to Tes's mastery of his car and his complete dominance over the streets.
The song has a nostalgic feeling for anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s and was a fan of sports cars like the Testarossa. The lyrics also have a metaphorical meaning, representing the feeling of power and control over one's life. The car, in this case, represents the individual and their ability to overcome obstacles and challenges in life. The car's speed and agility are reflective of one's determination and ambition, and the lyrics serve as an encouragement for listeners to take control of their lives and strive for success.
