Aaron Funk (born January 11, 1975), known as Venetian Snares, is a Canadian electronic musician based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

He is widely known for innovating and popularising the breakcore genre, and is one of the most recognisable artists to be signed to Planet Mu, an experimental electronic music label.

Funk is a very prolific musician, often releasing several records each year, sometimes on several different record labels, including Planet Mu, Hymen, Sublight, and his own imprint Timesig, and also under different aliases, including Last Step, Snares Man!, Snares, and Speed Dealer Moms.

He released the 1999 12-inch EP, Greg Hates Car Culture, followed by a split album with Stunt Rock, Fuck Canada // Fuck America, and more EPs in the next year 2000, including Salt, 7 sevens.med, Shitfuckers!, and his fourth studio album, printf("shiver in eternal darkness/n");.

[5] After hearing Greg Hates Car Culture while browsing a Minneapolis record store,[6] Mike Paradinas (also known as μ-Ziq) immediately signed Funk on to his record label Planet Mu, leading to three releases for the label in 2001, a collaboration album with Speedranch, Making Orange Things, a 7-inch EP, Defluxion, and a full-length album, Songs About My Cats.

Following 2004, Funk released Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding; three EPs, Horse And Goat, Infolepsy, and Moonglow/This Bitter Earth; and a remix of Doormouse's Skelechairs.

Funk first released in 2005 his tribute album to his hometown, Winnipeg is a Frozen Shithole, before releasing Rossz Csillag Alatt Született, an album inspired by Funk's recent Hungary trip that combines fast breakbeats with classical strings and trumpets, to critical acclaim.

[8] At the same year, Funk has also released another album, Meathole, and debuted under his new acid-oriented alias, Last Step, in You're a Nice Girl.

Afterwards in 2010, Funk released the My So-Called Life album and a 12-inch collaboration with Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante under Speed Dealer Moms.

For instance, the track "Szamár Madár" from Rossz Csillag Alatt Született uses a sample from Edward Elgar's 'Cello Concerto', edited into a 74 time signature.
