Fungus Funkʼs sound is not easy to define as it incorporates features from
different sub-genres of psytrance and generally tends to change from album to
album. Regardless of which version of Fungus Funk you get to experience, it is
guaranteed to be full of fat well defined basslines, powerful psychedelic leads,
and top-notch sequencing. Courtesy of his productive musical output and
subsequent popularity in the international psytrance scene, Fungus Funk
