Fracture Presents: Slow Astro, Vol. 3 & 4
APHAC04
Limited Cassette & Digi & T-shirt

Fracture’s Slow Astro concept returns for another instalment of slow edits from the Astrophonica back catalogue. Reducing the tempo right down to 97bpm for that extra baggy vibe and recorded live on a Mackie mixing desk with added dub siren and FX - an overnight sleeper train journey to the slower depths of music from Sully, Client_03, Nikki Nair, Damian’s Ghost and more.


Slow Astro, Vol. 3 & 4 is presented via

CASSETTE >> 2 x 35+min Slo Mo mixes across 2 sides of a Neon Green Cassette housed in uncoated O-Card sleeve

LONG & SHORT SLEEVE T-SHIRTS >> "SLOW ASTRO" Typographic front left breast screenprint & oversize 30x40cm "Slo-Mo" Astro Logo full back screen print. Hand scree-printed in Neon Green on Black premium soft combed 100% cotton tees.

DIGITAL >> 18 individual "Slow Mix" tracks as standalone full length DJ friendly tracks + the two full-length mixtapes

Here's what Fracture has to say about the Slow Astro project.

“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…”

BunZer0 x Buckley - 15 May 2025

https://microfunk.bandcamp.com/album/mornings-are-overrated

A delicate ambient meditation on the weight of early hours, Mornings Are Overrated drifts through the fog of half-formed thoughts and elusive emotions. Created in his bedroom with a tape recorder, cheap Casio keyboards, and pedals, then processed with digital instruments, Bops album reveals a quiet, deliberate minimalism. Every sound is given space to breathe, yet each element folds into itself, blurring into a hazy, inseparable whole. Its an introspective, slow-burning journey, embracing both the worries and lethargy of waking up in a world that always seems to move too fast.

Superwave EP: 
Following up on the drops from Gyrofield and Tim Reaper, Low End Activist arrives on Best Intentions with four mutant workouts up-cycled from dormant projects and moulded into weighty, outer limits club gear.
 
Low End Activist is best known for his sizeable output across Sneaker Social Club, Peak Oil and his own LEA label, where he twists grime and dubstep structures to gnarly, tweaked soundscapes indebted to dystopian sci-fi and social realism. Stepping up to Kasra's Best Intentions label, he tries a different approach by combing back through his archives of samples and stems and piecing together tracks with a sharp, surgical intent. 
 
In a canny display of stop-start dynamics, the A side comes through resolutely moody between the minimal, eerie atmospherics of ‘Wave ’01 and the dislocated vocal trickery and half-step pressure of ‘Wave 02’. On ‘Wave ’03 you can hear the click and crunch of early days Perlon and the rudeboy swing of El B, while the drums on ‘Wave ’04 lock into the mechanical rotation of Gescom as a counterpoint to the enduring hardcore influence coursing underneath the surface of the track. 
 
Maintaining Best Intentions' commitment to fundraising, all proceeds from BEST003 will be donated to Medical Aid For Palestine (https://www.map.org.uk/)
