fragmented:select

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!

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.

@failure_mode-161 is a Dresden-based vinyl DJ. He got his start in music at the age of 7, learning to play the drums, which he still plays today. In 2019, he relocated from his hometown near Leipzig to Dresden, where he developed a passion for vinyl records. Over the years, he's built up a collection of music that spans everything from all kinds of house music to breakbeat to dark, fast, and groovy techno. 

In this 1-hour techno set, K.Dubz moves seamlessly between melodic and dreamy melodies with dynamic percussion on one side and dark and groovy techno tracks with punchy basslines on the other. The way he combines different genres to create a constantly evolving groove is a quality to keep an eye on.

Born and raised in the sunny Rheinland, she chose Dresden as her new home. Started a few years ago, @cita_kita has been on an exciting ride along the different genres beginning with acid techno and house to different facets of breakbeat and garage to more RnB and UK infused music in this set. Along this ride the tracks got shorter, the tempo range and mixing more challenging and the fingers more exhausted after each set. The one thing that didn’t change over the last year is her love for broken beats. 

Ready for the colder days, this set is a new approach to her music with quite a wide tempo range and lots of vocals. Grab a coffee, watch the leafs fall, and enjoy!

@sova_sova embarked on his musical journey in 2015 with the purchase of his first turntables. Since then, he has been organizing events in Dresden—initially with DDAC—where his own series "Pluto" had its inception. Since 2019, Sova has been a part of Palais Palett and objekt klein a, where he not only continues the series but also began his residency amidst various other projects.

As a DJ, he is constantly exploring ways to evolve his sound. His music reflects a broad spectrum of influences ranging from Italian Deep House, British Techhouse, and Bleep to Belgian Newbeat, German Electronica, and old-school Techno. Skillfully merging these diverse styles, he crafts an enthralling, housy groove.

Part of the frag:family since May 2024, and of @objektkleina crew since 2022, @copacetic161 found his way to electronic music at the early age of 7, buying his first record (Techno Hits 1996-2000, Polystar) after listening to Nalin & Kane’s Beachball on ViVa. Since then, various styles of electronic music have played a vital role in his musical education, next to the obligatory Sludge and Metal phase as a teen. At fragmented: he is part of team music and one of our DD based residents. 
 
In this mix, copacetic moves through the outskirts of club-music with a focus on sounds slightly to the left of the standard club sound. Ambient, dub, and leftfield - seasoned with some classics - make for a more introspective journey, reminiscent of the afters. Enjoy!
