Fracture Presents: Slow Astro Vol 1 & 2

Order now: bit.ly/APHAC03

Slow Astro is a new mix series by Fracture which revisits the rich Astrophonica back catalogue and presents it in a new light. Starting with Volumes 1 & 2 featuring music from Sully, Client_03, Philip D Kick & DJ Earl.

"I have always been intrigued by playing audio back at different speeds. Be it speeding up breakbeats to make Jungle or slowing down pop music to make drawn out nostalgic atmospheres. Some of my first experiments with pitch were with my brother. We’d record ourselves onto cassette and use the hi speed dubbing feature to change the pitch of our voices. If you held the play button down half way it would cause the tape to play back at different speeds - mangling the audio.
Over the past year I became fascinated with playing on 7 inch records on 33. New rhythms, grooves and textures appear when you change the pitch of audio. It can totally alter the emotional quality of a piece of music you thought you knew so well - creating new artefacts with a familiar yet dreamlike quality. I started to wonder what the Astrophonica catalogue would sound like slowed down. So I made ‘Slow Astro’. Shout out DJ Screw…" - Fracture

5 Decades of Dub - 13/07/2025

Inner Echo - 10 August 2025

We built a fully functional Keygen to celebrate the release of N4HC50. Check the links in our Instagram bio to download.

Back in the day free music meant sketchy forums, dodgy torrents and praying limewire didn’t brick your computer. It's all too easy these days and we miss the friction. So we built N4HC.EXE.

It might be a cryptominer. Might be a backdoor. Or it might be the biggest free music drop of the year. The concept is simple: if you want it for free then crack it - 25 tracks buried in a questionable executable. Please don’t DM us when your firewall kicks off.

yesyesradio 78 with @teknautika on @subfmradio originally broadcast Monday November 24 2025 7-9pm EST

About the guest

Growing up as a first row dancer in Toronto, TIKA/Teknautika has been on both side of the decks since the late 90s. Influenced by techno, breaks and jungle, her attention is always towards basslines and rhythms.

When she moved to Grenada, she teamed up with Saqib as DDT to create boat parties bringing underground dance music to the island.

Always on the move, she has played shows in Montreal, Toronto, Miami, Detroit, New Orleans and Chicago. Her style is her own but her genres wander. You can catch, jungle, reggae, UKG, house and techno influences in her sets. One thing you can rely on is that she will make you dance.
