Often abbreviated to "Vsnares" – Funk's distinctive style reflects unconventional time signatures and extremely rapid and erratic rhythms. Unpredictable and stimulating, the effect is intense.
Funk's first release was "Greg Hates Car Culture", an EP for the History Of The Future Label, followed by "Salt" for Zhark and "Fuck Canada // Fuck America" with Stunt Rock for CLFST. When Mike Paradinas heard "Greg Hates Car Culture", he immediately signed Funk for Planet µ. Prior to this, he self-released material on cassette tape as early as 1992.
The first Venetian Snares LP on Planet µ "Making Orange Things" (a co-production with Speedranch), dropped in early 2001; following in short order were 5 more releases, all released before the end of 2002. Funk continued recording for a variety of labels, including Hymen, Addict, and Sublight Records, and has also recorded as snares, Snares Man!, BeeSnares, Ventriloquist Snakes, Puff, Last Step and Senetian Vnares.

Anal, anal!
Baking a lasagne, in your punani
Impressive moustaches, in your punani
Mike Paradinas, in your punani
Intellivision basketball, in your punani
He-Man and Skeletor in your punani
Undergoing plastic surgery, in your punani
Pretending I'm from London, in your punani

Grilling a panini, in your poonani

The lyrics of Venetian Snares's song "Welfare Wednesday" are quite bizarre and seemingly nonsensical at first glance. However, upon a closer analysis, it can be interpreted as a commentary on the mundane and monotonous aspects of everyday life, juxtaposed with the taboo and taboo-breaking. The repeated refrain of "Anal intercourse in your punani" reinforces this theme of taboo-breaking, as the act of anal intercourse is often stigmatized and frowned upon in society.
The verses, on the other hand, are a string of seemingly random phrases, some of which are mundane and some of which are absurd. Phrases such as "Baking a lasagne, in your punani" and "Producing dubstep records, in your punani" are examples of the mundane being juxtaposed with the absurd. This could be interpreted as a reflection of how the banal and the unusual coexist in our daily lives. Alternatively, it could be interpreted as a commentary on the superficiality of our obsessions and interests as a society, with the repeated phrase "in your punani" serving to tie all these seemingly disparate elements together.
