Fracture Presents: Slow Astro, Vol. 3 & 4
APHAC04
Limited Cassette & Digi & T-shirt

Fracture’s Slow Astro concept returns for another instalment of slow edits from the Astrophonica back catalogue. Reducing the tempo right down to 97bpm for that extra baggy vibe and recorded live on a Mackie mixing desk with added dub siren and FX - an overnight sleeper train journey to the slower depths of music from Sully, Client_03, Nikki Nair, Damian’s Ghost and more.


Slow Astro, Vol. 3 & 4 is presented via

CASSETTE >> 2 x 35+min Slo Mo mixes across 2 sides of a Neon Green Cassette housed in uncoated O-Card sleeve

LONG & SHORT SLEEVE T-SHIRTS >> "SLOW ASTRO" Typographic front left breast screenprint & oversize 30x40cm "Slo-Mo" Astro Logo full back screen print. Hand scree-printed in Neon Green on Black premium soft combed 100% cotton tees.

DIGITAL >> 18 individual "Slow Mix" tracks as standalone full length DJ friendly tracks + the two full-length mixtapes

Here's what Fracture has to say about the Slow Astro project.

“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…”

Rinse FM Podcast

Fracture - 28 August 2024

SLOW860 is the latest chapter in Charlie Fieber, aka Fracture’s, celebration of pirate radio culture, merging it with his Chopped & Screwed-inspired Slow Astro world. This third "Slow" adventure pushes the concept further, adding another album to his critically acclaimed 0860 project. The result is a 60-minute, unbroken collage of 14 new compositions and 6 'slow ambient' 0860 remixes, interwoven with pirate radio skits and fuzz. Drawing inspiration from The KLF’s Chill Out and his teenage experiences falling asleep to stations like Kool FM and Weekend Rush, familiar elements from Fracture’s work emerge, yet remain hauntingly just out of reach as he deconstructs and extends 0860.

Available on limited cassette tape, individual tracks and streaming platforms here: sq.lnk.to/SLOW860DDM

Staying true to pirate radio culture, the deluxe package comes in 'The First Aid Kit'—a term used by stations to describe listeners' stash boxes for enhancing the listening experience. The kit includes 0860 Astrophonica-branded rolling papers, stickers, and three cassette albums: SLOW860, the original 0860 Mixtape, and an exclusive cassette-only bonus, Ambient Signal Test—a 90-minute album of degraded Jungle breakdowns, originally broadcast to test the signal from the accompanying pop-up station, 0860.fm.

Fracture - 26 March 2025

London-born producer Ed "Tim Reaper" Alloh has spearheaded a renaissance of breakbeats from behind the decks and the desk. A web developer by day until recently, Reaper spent years in the margins of the drum & bass scene. Cultivating a style that bridges old-school ferocity and forward-thinking experimentation, his tracks are immediately recognizable. They are familiar in their foundation of classic chopped Amen breaks and booming basslines, yet futuristic in their sideways lurches and sonic juxtapositions.
