“ Who will ever do anything better than that propeller ? ”

We need to talk about tools.

The next release on ara, kicking off the new “UTIL” series, 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 tool 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.

# Limited edition tool with download code :
Numbered edition of 33. Handmade with love in Berlin

Fully functional chromium-vanadium steel wrench, fitted with multicoloured natural cockerel feathers.
Use it to fasten nuts & bolts in style, frame it, or exhibit it as a work of art.

Editions are individually numbered - each recognisable as part of a whole, while being slightly different due to the manual production process.
