DJ Nobu's Bitta welcomes Refracted. The Spanish producer delivers four expertly crafted cuts of his deep diving techno, fully embracing Bitta's hypnotic and energetic approach. Nobu: "Refracted is a unique techno producer whose work I have been playing in my sets for a long time". And the respect is mutual. Where Refracted witnessed many DJ sets of Nobu in person. "As a fan he experienced a number of my open air sets that were important to me, I think he has developed a complete understanding of what style of track works best on the dance floor in my sets".

The result is 'Torn Relics'. Four tracks reaching from tribal tinged loop techno to intense acidic wormholes. "When Refracted first sent me his demo's I was amazed how well they fitted my taste. All tracks on this EP are — in my interpretation — most effective when played outdoors. Of course, they will also sound amazing in a club setting. I've been playing these tracks at every important open air festival last year, so I wanted to make them available for you as soon as possible. I would call this EP is a true "open air techno masterpiece".

"I strongly hope that in 2022 this EP will be in the hands of many DJs and played at many open air parties around the world".

The 2022 Edition was a special one for me, full of mixed feelings and not really in my best mental state. As soon as I was up there and got in the groove I looked up and saw all the smiles and for a moment I forgot all the bad stuff and went for the ride.
So this is my little gift to you all.

Immense thanks for all your kind words received during the festival. Before and after my set. I live for moments like this and to celebrate music in such environments with the best crowds possible.
Small, simple, good music, good people. Thats all I need.

Also thanks for continually supporting Parallel Festival. I have big plans for the future which I hope to make possible.

Love,

Alex.

Kicking off the new “UTIL” series, it will question the process involved in releasing a functional dance music record nowadays, and will be available in digital format, as well as a limited edition customised wrench with a download code.
.
Alex Moya, a.k.a Refracted, has a special place in the ever-changing club music ecosystem : his tracks are staples of countless techno DJ’s and his distinctive sound has spread its influence far beyond the borders of the genre. .
Refracted uses the limitations of utilitarian techno as the creative force behind his productions : the application of disciplined restraint channeled through his unmistakable artistry results in pure abstract gems - as necessary as they are deeply moving.
.
These are feathered tools, both useful and flamboyant, and we hope you’ll enjoy listening, playing and dancing to them.

ME004 // ARCHIVES  is a collection of 10 unreleased tracks from the vault that I have resurfaced, refurbished and retouched for this compilation release celebrating the 5th anniversary of Mind Express. Unfortunately there isn’t much to celebrate these days but hopefully this can bring a smile to your face and give you the necessary energy to get through the coming days.

Mind benders, acid trips, tribal grooves and anything in between… Tracks that had been sleeping until now waiting for their moment. They couldn’t just sit there unshared and unused forever.

With this release I would like to take the chance to send positive vibes to all the people working hard to help everyone in need in times like these. Also sending good health to everyone affected by this pandemic. We will get over it, all together!

Available now on Bandcamp. Thanks for your support.
