.
Kicking off the new “UTIL” series, it will question the process involved in releasing a functional dance music record nowadays, and will be available in digital format, as well as a limited edition customised wrench with a download code.
.
Alex Moya, a.k.a Refracted, has a special place in the ever-changing club music ecosystem : his tracks are staples of countless techno DJ’s and his distinctive sound has spread its influence far beyond the borders of the genre. .
Refracted uses the limitations of utilitarian techno as the creative force behind his productions : the application of disciplined restraint channeled through his unmistakable artistry results in pure abstract gems - as necessary as they are deeply moving.
.
These are feathered tools, both useful and flamboyant, and we hope you’ll enjoy listening, playing and dancing to them.
