And here I was thinking I was the only one digging this track. This mix was thumpin' the whole way through.

It's 3:30am in Brixton. Mala has just played ONE of those sets...

Up steps Martyn with 75 minutes of pure bliss at 140bpm.

Enjoy.

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.

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

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…”

@sirhissbristol goes In Session

"I tried to record an all-encompassing mix filled with everything that I feel represents me as an artist at the moment, although it’s quite club-focused, I had to chuck in some more introspective tunes and some obligatory unreleased stuff from myself"

Ila Brugal B2B Amy Kisnorbo - 05 September 2023

Sector 7 Sounds, the Bristol-born label helmed by producer and DJ Boofy, is marking 10 years in the game this year. This summer, the label released an anniversary compilation, '10/10', that took stock of its past and present, and hinted at its future. For our latest Crack Mix, Boofy reflects some more, in seamless, practised mix format. 

“I tried to encapsulate what style and journey of music I love to play in sets, but also what direction Sector 7 is heading in,” he says. “My tastes have grown and changed over the years naturally, so it almost feels like I’m reintroducing myself. Boofy 2.0.”
