Artist description The Sonic Funkshun is a one man operation. Justin Brasill is the brains and moving force behind The Sonic Funkshun. I make a large variety of electronic music, mainly big beat, techno, trance, house, and a little ambient. I am on FITB Records, which you can check out at www.mp3.com/fitbrecords. We are an artist run label, and our first compilation has now been released. I've listened to nearly all types of music at some point in my life, but never have I been so fascinated by any particular type. I've been through old skool rap, r&b, rock, alternative, heavy metal, you name it, I've listened to it at one point in my life (even classical). Electronic music is the only type that continues to amaze me. It's not like pop music, where a song is just recycled and later used by somebody else, it's much harder to make, not to mention much better.
