10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
If you’re thinking Andy Aquarius can’t be his real name, you’d be right. Andy Ozbolt is a singer and multi-instrumentalist with German and Croatian roots, currently based in Berlin. His previous musical output has been accessible, dreamy pop, à la Tame Impala. But his new album Chapel dispenses with synths and trippy drum patterns and features little more than his self-built Celtic harp and vocals. The opening title-track sets the tone with three minutes of solo harp before Aquarius’ voice enters, soon joined by Enya-like backing vocals provided by Maja Presnell. Aquarius’s singing style reminds of fellow German multi-instrumentalist Nils Kercher, and the overall effect is similar to Kercher’s earlier albums – gentle and meditative. Although there are only six tracks, most are over six minutes, allowing plenty of time for the listener to get lost in the unhurried flow of the music. At times, it could almost be the kind of new age music used as an accompaniment to yoga, but there is enough melodic and rhythmic interest to make Chapel more than mere background listening.
