Μaπ Β I got chills at many points throughout these mixes. Totally in love with the combination of slick drum programming mixed with cinematic, reverb-heavy ambience. Favorite track: Slow Astro, Vol. 1.

slink_yetti Out of the blue, Fracture demonstrates that the most groundbreaking takes on the "new-wave hardcore" sound have been under our noses the whole time. I hope the genre-relevant artists hear this and get as worked up as I am.

Billy D. A continuum of the slowed-down movement championed by Fracture for years now! Fracture & Chimpo unleashed the slow-slow beast on Fact Mix #489 in 2015, and it changed my approach to mixing and BPMs. Check it: soundcloud.com/factmag/fact-mix-489-fracture-chimpo-mar-15

Kämpleks Immediately got DJ Screw vibes from the mix and then I noticed the album description. Much respect for the music.

Joseph F**k this is good. So many familier sounds presented in a different way. To those discovering this who are not familiar with the original material: do yourself a service and listen to these original tracks at their normal BPM to fully appreciate this!

DiskMan875 Hoping for a Vol. 3 & 4! This sh*t is outstanding. Favorite track: Slow Astro, Vol. 1.

Fracture Presents: Slow Astro Vol 1 & 2
APHAC03
Limited Cassette & Digi

Slow Astro is a new mix series by Fracture which revisits the rich Astrophonica back catalogue and presents it in a new light. Starting with Volumes 1 & 2 featuring music from Sully, Client_03, Philip D Kick & DJ Earl.

"I have always been intrigued by playing audio back at different speeds. Be it speeding up breakbeats to make Jungle or slowing down pop music to make drawn out nostalgic atmospheres. Some of my first experiments with pitch were with my brother. We’d record ourselves onto cassette and use the hi speed dubbing feature to change the pitch of our voices. If you held the play button down half way it would cause the tape to play back at different speeds - mangling the audio.
Over the past year I became fascinated with playing on 7 inch records on 33. New rhythms, grooves and textures appear when you change the pitch of audio. It can totally alter the emotional quality of a piece of music you thought you knew so well - creating new artefacts with a familiar yet dreamlike quality. I started to wonder what the Astrophonica catalogue would sound like slowed down. So I made ‘Slow Astro’. Shout out DJ Screw…" - Fracture

Sully with an absolute instant classic. Signature machine gun resonant snares form a pulsating melody for a ridiculous percussive masterpiece underpinned by some of the wobbliest bass I've ever had the pleasure to hear. Jake Knight
