ACTANT is a New Zealander living in Dresden dedicated to abstract, dark, heavy techno. He began DJing at the tender age of 16 and moved through drum and bass and hard house before settling into the funkier sounds of house and boogie. For many years he held residencies in clubs around New Zealand playing jazzy and deep house music but always harboured a lingering passion for the techno sound. Upon first moving to Germany a few years ago, a trip to Tresor acted as a powerful conversion experience, cementing his commitment to the genre and catalysing a continuous flow of creative output. As well as his own SCAPE mix series, he also created the DYSTOPIA podcast series which profiles and interviews leading techno producers and also co-hosts the intense HYPNOSIS club night.
In his contribution to our fragmented:select series he takes a deep dive into dark and driving techno. Strap in and loose yourself in the music!
