10 Years of Fractal @ Jigsore, Balter Festival 2024

PLAYLIST GOES LIVE 31/05/2024 @ 12:00

Now that the dust has settled (or maybe that the mud has dried) from Balter Festival we think it's high time we shared the chaos that we sweaty reprobates brought to the Jigsore stage.

We were buzzing when our way more organised twin invited us to come play with their toys for our 10th birthday and, even with an early afternoon party, we blew out a crazy amount of candles on the Jigsore stage and had a great time all weekend. 10 years man, what a way to celebrate!

Big shout out to all the Balter festival gang especially Kat, Jimmy, and the rest of the Jigsore crew who worked tirelessly in extreme conditions to keep the party going, and a huge shout out to Elias for inviting us to come party with them. Another huge thank you to everyone who managed to drag themselves out of their tents and come watch us opening the stage from midday and to everyone who bought some merch to help us fund our weekend, you know who you are and we were buzzing to see you there.

Videos of each set will be uploaded in the following weeks so keep your eyes on our YouTube channel for those.

We'll see you all again soon 😉 

Big Love from, Grim Up North, Bra!nspanner, Skitzaph0nic & CUN7 AKA The Fractal Dethkreu

FRCTL007 // DECONTROL // Street Mentality EP // 30.04.2021 

!! - COMPETITION: Drop a comment on this track before this EP is released and we'll randomly pick one or two to win the Fractal Records back catalogue. - !!

It’s been a while since we did a release and we’ve been sitting on this one for far too long so in a valiant effort to get the fractal machine back up to full speed for when the clubs reopen here in the UK we decided to get a little taster of the inevitable trade deal our American friends are going to give us for our next release.

Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, DECONTROL has been cooking up bangers for the last decade, featuring on our “Just A Cacophony Of Random Noise” compilation along with releases on Mindocracy, Devil Times Nine and Big Riddim he always hits that distinct deep-fried USA flavour of Drum & Bass perfectly. It's that tried and tested recipe - a base combination of heavily compressed amens and extra fat basslines, garnished with a fistful of rap samples - but the classics recipes never die, allowing DECONTROL to serve you three courses stuffed full of your favourite ingredients.

Opening track “Street Mentality” draws you in with an old school hip hop introduction scratching classic rap samples around a screeching gangsta synth line before picking up the energy with a siren build up and finishing you off with choppy blast beat drums and distorted basslines.

“Shots From The Underground” begins with atmospheric drones and sparse percussion before a distorted bass builds to a heavy rolling drop. The most dancefloor oriented song of the release this one is guaranteed to add a big dose of energy into any party.

Don’t let the soft strings in the intro of the final track fool you as “Simple Murder” quickly morphs itself into a distorted barrage of sound moments after it begins building into a half time twisted hip hop style first drop whilst saving the dirty 4x4 crossbreed kicks for the ultimate payoff in the second half, to all you DJ’s who enjoy starting heavy this is a banging opener.

Skitzaph0nic - Chaos Theorem [FRCTL001]

Two blistering hardcore tracks; both building off massive soundscapes before launching into a full frontal hard kick and snare assault on the senses. CORPSEPAINT does not fuck around, creating tracks that are as atmospheric as they are brutal. A long time dethkreu member, we have been wanting to put out some of his music for a long time. 

We give you these tracks for free, as part of our fifth birthday celebrations, however if you enjoy the music and want to help support what we do then please consider chucking us a quid or two! 
All donations go towards covering mastering, artwork, and some cheeky beers for the artist.

CORPSEPAINT - Forging A Life [FRCTL002] (Free Download)

To follow up our past release we decided to go back to the roots with a more drum & bassy vibe - being loosely classed a d&b brand after all.

When Triple Sickz signed up to get involved we knew we were going to be in for a treat, but we weren't quite expecting a full-bore dancefloor destroyer.

What they delivered was weapons-grade audio destruction. Four tracks of sheer audible annihilation ready to chew you up and spit you straight back down into the dance.

Released on 20th February 2019

Aftermath EP

Triple Sickz - Aftermath EP [FRCTL003] (Preview)

FRCTL004 - Visceral - New Era EP

Smashing straight in for the fourth Fractal release we have Visceral with his New Era EP. Four hard D&B bangers - and one hardcore smasher - all ready to shred you up.

Each track is as epic in its world-building as it is ferocious in its rhythms. Visceral sets a scene for the ears before dropping bombs all over, determined to cause sheer carnage in any dance. Not one for the fainthearted this EP spans multiple BPMs and combines that hard sound we know and love with a tasty neuro-esque influence. Expect fast breaks, hefty bass, and big, clangy snares - plus maybe a kick drum or two.

This EP is going to be available EXCLUSIVELY at BALTER FESTIVAL for the time being with an online release coming in the future. Come find us during our takeover in The Drawing Room from 8:00pm on Sunday or at any point over the weekend (we're usually pratting about in Jigsore) to get your hands on the full tunes.
