Where Organic Soul Meets Synthetic Futurism.
In the world of electronic music, a false dichotomy often exists: the organic versus the synthetic, the soulful versus the cerebral, the past versus the future. Founded in Frankfurt am Main in 2015, PhunkE records was built on a different perspective. We don’t see a division; we see a creative ecosystem, a fertile ground where these elements cross-pollinate to create something new, vital, and profound.
Our roots have always been planted in the rich, earthy soil of Afro House, a genre that channels human history and communal spirit through its vibrant percussion and soulful vocals. This is our organic heart. From this foundation, we reach into the digital ether, embracing the precise, textural landscapes of Minimal House and the moody, atmospheric architecture of Deep Tech. This is our synthetic mind.
PhunkE is the established space where these worlds converge. We champion artists who are fluent in both languages—creators who can coax warmth from cold circuits and find the ghost in the machine. Our catalog is a living document of this dialogue, a collection of soulful technology and organic futurism. We are not just a record label; we are a biosphere for a distinct species of sound. Welcome to the ecosystem.
