Fractal Void - Elemental Collection
@fractalvoi_d

Fractal Void is an avant-garde duo based in Düsseldorf, Germany. Their experimental music blends electronic and contemporary genres located somewhere in the field of musical tension between ambient, drone, halfstep and floor-affine IDM. During their live sets, Fractal Void create vertical reflections by processing sounds through software and interaction with real instruments in every unique musical performance like the Chinese contemporary calligraphic practice Dishu.

Their debut album Elemental Collection unveils a dense and lavishly layered transformation of artificial organic signals, sculpting an auditory world filled with emotive landscapes, overgrown polyrhythms and futuristic elements. Embedded within each track are field recordings serving as the heartbeat of the album. Through innovative and expansive deconstruction, Fractal Void create an energetic and sometimes contemplative experience.

The persons behind Fractal Void:
Back in 2008, their musical journey began with winning a Spectrasonics competition using field recordings of a locker door, that was implemented as a bass synth. Their collaboration was continued as producers of the eight-piece electronic jazz project „Mothers of Guru“.

Marcus Scheltinga is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Besides studying jazz trombone at the Conservatorium Hilversum and the Folkwanghochschule, he works as a musical director, lecturer and coach in 39 countries around the world. From ZDF sound design to live and studio performances with international greats, his own productions have included such as Grammy winner Larry Carlton and Peter Erskine. Mid-east and Indian inspired, Marcus is a true story teller as a musician and composer.

BORGBORG is a producer and DJ. She moves freely in different styles of electronic music with a focus on avant-garde driving techno, dark hypnotic vibes seamlessly blended with deconstructed beats, noise and timeless elements of IDM. She is a member of About Repetition, a group of artists dedicated to the research of repetition through artistic means, collaborating with a wide range of other collectives across Europe and co-founder of the techno event series „SCHLEIFEN“.

His productions, meticulously crafted over the years, blur the lines between deep techno and UK bass, creating immersive soundscapes that invite you to dive deeper into the music.

For this mix, Solma invites us into a rich, atmospheric journey. It begins with introspective grooves and textured soundscapes, slowly unfurling into hypnotic rhythms and deconstructed beats. From ambient calm to irresistible basslines, this set captures the ebb and flow of a night spent lost in sound, where every moment feels like a sensory revelation.

Through chaos, cathartic soundscapes, and monolithic grooves, we are excited to introduce Marco Maldarella — @marcomaldarella — for this new episode. Producer and selector based in Bologna, Marco co-founded @sinestesie_s event and mix series. His project is rooted in a multidimensional approach, known for his collaboration with Christian Duka as MARMO, and his solo album Clinamen, released on @omenwapta.

At the crossroads of deep psychedelic techno and tribal sounds, Marco Maldarella dives into the depths of modern electronic music with a fast-paced and intense sonic signature.

For this mix, Marco delivers a raw tribe fast trance experience, where psychedelic elements collide with a dark groove reminiscent of ancient times. Drones, noise, and otherworldly voices define his unique style. The result is an intimate, introspective, and mental journey, featuring many of unreleased tracks.

Marco shares his vision with us : « 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘰𝘮𝘴 𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨—𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴; 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘨𝘮𝘢.

Spira invites @solmadj

Paris-based producer and DJ, and co-founder of Virtual Forest Records, Solma draws inspirations from the hypnotic aesthetics of modern deep techno and the vibrant energy of UK bass to shape a unique style that explores psychedelic territories where genre boundaries dissolve and textures take center stage. 

From high-energy sets to immersive live performances, Solma explores the full spectrum of electronic music — from introspection to dancefloor momentum. With a steadily growing catalog of high-quality releases, he continues to push boundaries and refine his identity.

While Solma is known for fast-paced rhythms and psychedelic synthlines, this time he masterfully explores the slower, deeper side of techno — presenting a one-hour mix for Spira Records that drifts through dub textures and meditative grooves.
