"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.

Fade away now
We're just a little bit moonaddicted

Fade away now
We're just a little bit moonaddicted
Forget the day now
We're just a little bit moonaddicted
Now i'm just flying around
And i'm just wondering
What all the people are
Doing here
Underneath the clouds
Fade away now
We're just a little bit moonaddicted
Forget the day now
We're just a little bit moonaddicted
Fade away now
We're just a little bit moonaddicted
Forget the day now
We're just a little bit moonaddicted

Moonaddicted
The lyrics of Funkstörung's song "Moon Addicted" featuring Enik speak of a sense of detachment from reality as a result of being under the influence of the moon. Enik sings that she lost her body and her path in a cool damn night, blinded by the shimmering light of the moon. She finds herself just flying around without a word or sound. She is too high to hear what people are saying to her. She feels like she's just wondering and questioning what all the people are doing here, underneath the clouds.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "fade away now" and "forget the day now" as a way to express the desire to escape reality and live in the moon's addictive influence. The voice effects added to the song add to the dreamy and detached atmosphere.
Overall, the song speaks of the allure and hypnotic quality of the moon, which can lead one to lose touch with reality and just want to fade away into the night.

I lost my body in a cool damn night
I had an out of body experience on a chilly evening
I was blinded by the shimmering light
I saw a bright flash of light that left me temporarily blind
Now i'm just flying around
I'm floating or gliding about aimlessly
Without a word without a sound
I'm moving silently without saying or making any noise
I lost my path
I am lost and unsure of where I am or where I'm going
I found my way
I discovered my path or direction
Are you talking to me
I'm uncertain if someone is speaking directly to me
I'm too high i can't hear what you say
I'm mentally or physically elevated, making it difficult to understand spoken communication
Fade away now
Let thoughts or emotions gradually disappear
We're just a little bit moonaddicted
We're slightly obsessed or fascinated by the moon
Forget the day now
Set aside any responsibilities or worries related to the daytime hours
Now i'm just flying around
I'm still aimlessly moving without direction
And i'm just wondering
I'm curious or pondering about something
What all the people are
I'm questioning the purpose or activities of those around me
Doing here
I'm wondering why people are in this location or situation
