Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series we present: Ctrls 

The Ctrls project was founded In 2012 with Copenhagen as its home base. From the first Token Records release the presence of a highly individual sonic style was apparent and his fast-paced and futuristic techno-based sound has now been well established with a stream of respected music on Token Records and Key Vinyl. A lifelong devotee of electronic dance music, DJ’ing, and live performance are central for the project. This has resulted in many involved sets at globally notable venues such as Berghain, Khidi, Fabric, Tresor, Kit Kat and Club Drugstore in addition to a residency at Copenhagen’s purest electronic music venue: Ved Siden Af.

Fast Forward Audio Series #53: Ctrls

Next event: Apr26, 2025 @ Den Anden Side

Fast Forward Productions was formed in December 2015 as a new take on DIY rave culture. All events are built from the ground up, focusing on our local scene and collaborating with like-minded crews and concepts from abroad.
With a focus on social engagement, and by using activists from the local community to help make the events come to life, Fast Forward actively focuses on creating safer spaces at the venues we use. Sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia are not tolerated.

As a DJ, I combine the relentless sound of hypnotic techno with my original research in metaphysics in order to transform philosophical ideas into a sonic experience of mind-body synergy. 

Inspired by the elusive relation between mind and matter, I take the perspective of neutral monism: that, at the most fundamental level of existence there is only one thing, and it is neither physical nor mental but rather constitutes the a priori dimension of possibility from which all reality derives.

Alongside, I specialise in fine art analogue photography, which has been featured as cover art by Codecast, Johan Sebastian, and on Freddy K’s Krzrzrz radio show – consolidated in my print exhibition series 'Fundamentals'. My ongoing DJ portrait series 'Naturalism' aims to converge aesthetics, sound, and semantics through synesthetic states of mind. 

Finally, following 3 years of concept writing for releases on Platform 22, I continue to create original concepts for my mix releases and independent projects on www.fradkin.nl.
