James Patrick Darcy Braddell is an English musician and filmmaker who uses the stage name of Funki Porcini.[2][3] "Funki Porcini" is a twist on "Funghi Porcini", the Italian name of the mushroom Boletus edulis, commonly known as "penny bun".
He spent ten years in Italy making music for film and television.[3] Thereafter, he returned to England. In 1994, he signed to independent record label Ninja Tune[3] and set up his own studio, The Uterus Goldmine.
He has also recorded as a member of 9 Lazy 9[3] (a.k.a. 8 Lazy Bastards), under the pseudonym Giacomo Braddellini; and released the EP "Float On" (1995), as a member of short-lived band Purr, along with DJ N4Eric (a.k.a. Toona) and Stuart Warren-Hill of Hexstatic.
