"Dresden a city in transition" - opening quote from a documentary about Dresden techno culture from the german music TV station VIVA (RIP), 1994.

Almost 30 years later this is still the first statement you hear about the local scene. But who are the talented people that have been brought forth by various shifts and are driving the next ones. Let's show the millenials, who spend hours watching average djs in a bathroom, what's out there. Let's show the old white men from the valley, hey these are your kids too. Let's show the elite hipsters from the wannabe berlin club, don't just book expensive international acts that nobody knows anyway. 

These are your fragmented bodies you should listen to.

A1 robs you of your sleep, tinkered out in the darkest laboratory of contemporary breakbeat researchers.  
A2 is brewed according to a similar recipe, but the ingredients are far more worn out and the arrangement can be put together more densely, beyond all rules. In the end, Jules' strong voice brings you back on board.

Let's move on to the B side, or should we say C(lub) side! Because B-ware is the wrong word here.
B1 will blow your mind with every modern electro and jungle attitude and will make sweat drip from the ceiling in the mainfloors of our favourite clubs!
Xynia closes the shop with B2, which has everything the modern raver could wish for. 
150 BPM: Check
Ground shaking kick: Check
Catchy 90s leadsynth: Check

FRAG:001 - fragmented:bodies - V.A. | Snippets

Hey, welcome to fragmented:select part 002, the format in which we select people who often select other people's music. "DJs, they just string other people's music together and get celebrated for it." That may be, but there are also the nerds who have been scouring discogs, bandcamp, hardwax, juno, clone and all kinds of record shops in the world for years because they like music. Some of them have the talent to listen to the most inconspicuous, weirdest, funniest, most inappropriate tracks and to hear something in them that nobody else hears. Namely the chance to give the producers the space to make us sit open-mouthed in front of our hi-fi system, throw up our arms on the dance floor or make out wildly in bed because the music is so sexy. Oh and hi Panda Lassow, welcome back to Saxony, the part of Germany where the most hidden talents lurk and get far too little exposure. She is one of them, these tracks are eclectic and yet so uniquely put together. You'll probably find yourself dancing in your living room and throwing your arms in the air mentally standing on the dancefloor with your mouth open.

fragmented:? 
new label? 
huh?
platform-based?
combines politics, art and music? 
how? for real? 
and what is the political theme of the first record? 
yes, definitely: don't move to berlin. 
hey, that's cool. 

we think so, too! 
these questions and more are answered in our first podcast fragmented:talk 001 with founding member and cover artist antonia and pau 
who talk about the foundation and the political focus of the first record fragmented:bodies (FRAG:001). 
enjoy

Here is our fourth episode of fragmented:select with Zombies in Miami (soundcloud.com/zombiesinmiami).

Cani & Jen founded the project and despite the name they are not crawling around Miami, but shining out their light from Mexico. The couple became one of the most prominent members of Mexico‘s vital electronic scene over the last decade. You can call their sound a rhythmic and synth-driven house and techno hybrid, with a disco and balearic twist, which is held together by the oh so sweet Italo Drama.

The two not only played in Dresden this summer, but also left a piece of their hearts here. With fragmented:select 4 they reduce their geographical distance one more time.

Welcome to fragmented:select number five! 

Berlin based Hannie Phi is not only a welcome guest and artist on the dancefloors of Dresden, but also a good friend of ours. This friendship is just getting even more intense - we are more than proud to announce that Hanna is one of. our first fragmented:residents! 

The powerhouse DJ and selector carefully blends driving house with trance and traces of rare 90s tunes - so you might find a crossover sound of percussive and progressive styles.

With fragmented:select 4 she proves her very own sound once again.

Welcome to fragmented:select number six!

More than proud to announce that Dresden based spårvår (soundcloud.com/sparvar303) is one of our first fragmented:residents!

Raised in the south, shaped by the east: he has not only found his home here, but also his way to the turntables. The passionate selector has been around on the Dresden floors for a long time, and for a few years now he has been standing behind the decks more frequently himself. spårvår was socialized with industrial techno and hard kicks - in the meantime his sound has emancipated itself. It is fast, groovy and percussion-heavy: hardgroove, techno, hardtechno. At the same time, he does not lose his playful curiosity and does not take himself too seriously. Even if it is almost a no go to use this word: he and his sound are authentic.
