fragmented:select

The digital frag:bliss compilation is comprised of compositions with a strikingly spherical albeit energetic approach, each one taking on a distinct velocity and groove. In an engaging way, these combinations of sounds encapsulate a feeling of perpetual evolution, which never seems rash but moves with sensible patience. Just like all humans moving at a different pace and striving to find their personal notion of hapiness, the producers of this compilation offer us their multifaceted versions of a state of bliss.

"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.

Ground shaking kick: 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.

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.

Elea Eluanda is a rising star in the world of progressive house, hailing from the vibrant city of Dresden. With her forward-thinking and energetic sets, she has quickly gained a reputation as an exciting DJ on the scene.

So if you're looking for a DJ who will transport you to a world of pulsing beats and progressive sounds, look no further than Elea Eluanda. Her sets are an experience not to be missed.

Broken Rhythm

Q - Broken Rhythm

Aniqua keeps developing and changing the way she listens to music and the way she puts together her DJ sets. There will always be an element of surprise, for herself included. 
Genres don’t really matter, she follows her flow and gives her best to keep a continuity in the everchanging landscape of her selection, consciously pushing music from FLINTA and BIPOC artists.
This is what she will give you: a story, a vibe, a perspective.
Listen for yourself :*

For some time now she’s been a resident at transit in Chemnitz, the Club where she feels most at home and where she also started her event series for bouncy bass music Lapislazuli, together with good friend @flax_metaware.
She‘s part of the feminist network @metaware_weimar from Weimar, supporting from her hometown. 

In this set, you can listen to one hour of the finest club tunes, going from 160 to 130 bpm, from Jungle to Bass to Breakbeat to House.

Drawing inspiration from the timeless sounds of House and the infectious grooves of Italo Disco, jon bouvier infuses his sets with a distinct flair, trying to create an experience with a wide range of musical influences. 
As the turntables spin, he tries to create a harmonious blend of old-school charm and cutting-edge tracks.

He can often be found with his twin brother behind the turntables. Les Bouviers love to balance between genres. From disco to breakbeat, from house to italo. Everything may happen, as long as it makes the bodies move and the faces grin.

jon bouvier started his musical journey as a DJ in Berlin but developed his sound in Dresden. For over 5 years the Dresdener by choice has been actively involved in the electronic music scene - whether at illegal raves, independent festivals, in clubs or as co-founder and resident of @fragmenteddigital

Based in DD the Syrian Dj is often seen behind the decks cruising between Hard Techno, Hard Dance and Acid Techno with his unique  euphoric trancy touch.
He was also an important member for fragmented: in the early days and will always have a place with us.
Schero always tries through his wide selection of tunes to build up a story, a trip, a journey, in which he wishes to see you all accompaning him alongside. Nowadays Scheros passion for ravy sounds and hard stabs is something he can’t hide in his mixes.

The glutenfree DJ duo @GlutenfreeGirlz as part of Leipzig based crew @properpull move back and forth between Dresden and Leipzig and have dedicated themselves entirely to broken beats. After a half-year break, they have embarked on a journey into partly quieter, emotional, but still bass-heavy spheres. They rarely stick to one genre, so here's their self-description of this selection: dreamy-organic-bass-breaks. enjoy and gluten appetit!
