REFRACTION label boss Pedro Capelossi joins forces with Aeikus this August or their collaborative ‘Red Shift’ EP.

1 YEAR

Pedro Capelossi, Aeikus - Red Shift [REFRACTION RECORDS]

Making their label debut with the first interpretation of ‘Supernova’ is Pablo Bolivar & Nacho Sanchez.

Hailing from Spain, Pablo Bolivar has been a fixture of the deep house underground for the better part of two decades. Revered for his sultry grooves and organic design, the Cantabria resident and Seven Villas label boss channels languages of varied musical landscapes, churning them into his own complex rollercoaster of intricate dubbed out house and techno.

Of late, fellow countryman Nacho Sanchez has been a frequent production partner of Pablo, bringing his Detroit/Berlin coax of deep elegant techno for a creative synergy which has found the duo thriving.

Now, paired once again for their Refraction debut, Pablo and Nacho deliver a heady interpretation of ‘Supernova’. While maintaining the elusive spirit of the original, the Spanish duo craft a sweeping sonic experience all their own, a transcendent journey into an wintry hinterland, where minimalistic grooves and submerged designs surface from their dubbed-out architecture, onwards to a finale meditative percussive arrangements.

Pedro Capelossi - Supernova (Pablo Bolivar, Nacho Sanchez Remix) [REFRACTION RECORDS]

Leading the release off is its title and showcase piece 'Supernova'.

Built around a free-flowing breakbeat storyboard, Pedro works tonal motifs and warm swells with haunting atmospherics and granular textures. Haunting and timeless in equal measure, it makes for an enchanting eight-minute journey, which not only sits as one of the Brazilian’s most introspective works to date but sets the tone for the label going forward.

Pedro Capelossi - Supernova [REFRACTION RECORDS]

Also making his REFRACTION debut with the lone interpretation of ‘High On Your Own Supply’ is Dubtommy.

Dutch producer Tommy Lemmers aka Dubtommy first emerged in 2021 with ‘Covenant’, a three track showcase for Germany’s Mixcult Records which earned praise from renowned artist Andrey Pushkarev.

Immediately noted for his immersive soundscapes and evolving dancefloor constructions, the Amsterdam resident would go on to record a series of new projects for Mixcult across the next two calendar years, while also adding Electrolux Real MusiQ, Limitation Music, Superordinate Dub Waves and his own Stately Records imprint to his discography.

Always selective in his projects, Dumtommy now arrives on Refraction in fine fashion with his first release of the year, a deep mesmerizing take on ‘High On Your Own Supply’.

Opting for a decidedly more minimal and straight forward approach, Dubtommy brings the production closer to the dancefloor with billowing tonal themes, wispy atmospheric refrains and a mature no frills approach to arrangement.

Pedro Capelossi - High on Your Own Suply (Dubtommy Remix) [REFRACTION RECORDS]

Making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Nameless Faceless’ is Federsen.

Since emerging in 2011, San Francisco based sound architect Federsen has developed a distinct brand of deep dubby techno. Renowned for his hazy textures and minimal yet club-effective approach, the American based artist has compiled an impressive resume across a near fifteen-year stretch.

Greyscale, Seven Villas, spclnch and his own Alt Dub vinyl imprint have been regular landing spots for his thought-provoking productions, as he continues to maneuver himself through the confines of modern techno music. With 2024 getting underway with a contribution to Lempuyang’s ‘Pura Lempuyang Dua’ collection, Federsen now makes his Refraction debut with a live take on ‘Nameless Faceless’. Always a creative remixer, the artist's freeform movement discreetly glides up into celestial realms, burrowing deeper into your amygdala, before carefully pulling back to create a panoramic rollercoaster of submerged beats, minimal electronics and subtle undertones.

Pedro Capelossi - Nameless Faceless (Federsen Live Dub) [REFRACTION RECORDS]

Making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Plans & Plants’ is Retza.

Hailing from Australia but now calling the UK home, Retza has firmly etched his place in the deep and organic global movement. With well over a decade of production experience, the London resident has showcased his exotic sound via All Day I Dream, Balance Music, Kindisch, SATYA, Sound Avenue and his own Retza imprint, amongst others. Also an accomplished DJ, Retza has travelled the world showcasing his unique selections and exquisite programming skills, while also holding a weekly residency on London’s highly regarded Bloop Radio.

Now, following a remix for YokoO’s SATYA imprint to end the year, Retza opens 2024 making his Refraction debut with a groovy rendition of ‘Plans & Plants’. Taking a more direct dancefloor approach, while maintaining the elusive spirit of the original, the Aussie native constructs a fluid rhythmic core, complemented with meticulously manicured percussion, acidic motifs and timely vocal fragments. It’s this amalgamation of sound which ultimately makes for a versatile and club-effective version; a brilliant re-imagination that’s likely to find favor with a broad range of DJs across the coming months.
