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.

The lyrics to Venetian Snares's song Winnipeg is Fucking Over expresses the sentiment of how life in the city of Winnipeg can be tough and miserable. The first line, "It's so cold and miserabllllllle," speaks to the harsh winters and overall unforgiving environment of the city. The second line references a real-life news story where a wrestling coach in Winnipeg was accused of sexually assaulting one of his athletes. This alludes to the idea that even in the supposed safety of a sports program or team, danger and harm can still occur, highlighting how life in Winnipeg can be full of uncertainty and hardship.
The repetition of "Every time (time, time)" adds to the feeling of hopelessness and monotony that can be experienced living in Winnipeg. The constant grind of trying to survive in a challenging environment with news stories about sexual assaults and other crimes being reported regularly can create a sense of despair for those living in Winnipeg. The repeated use of "Winnipegpegpeg" further emphasizes the bleakness of living in the city and how it can weigh heavily on one's psyche.

Ever since I was a teenager, whenever I hear the word 'Winnipeg', I obligatorily say "Winnipeg?!" out loud. It has not gotten me anywhere in life.
