The time has come to start reminiscing about the musical moments of Refractor 2024. 

At 2 pm, @servei delighted us with a set of trance, progressive trance, and house at around 130 BPM, where he made the perfect mix between new and old tunes. Also he took the opportunity to play tracks from the EP he just released on Organic Signs' label a few weeks ago.

Plug into into the euphonic world of Shoal with his debut EP for Animalia, Temporal Blend. The Utrecht based producer dives head first into the release with his mesmerisingly warm, rich & silky-smooth groove, all characteristics that define his unique take on techno.  

A yin/yang essence threads the EP together with cosy, full bodied melodies, dynamic tempos & entrancing oddities throughout. It’s this subtle & harmonious balance of flavours that make Shoal a pitch-perfect fit for the Animalia family.

For this month's spiral sonic we've invited Prieste5s: electronic musician, live-coder, and visual artist based in Berlin. In her own productions, Prieste5s fuses versatile influences from across the genre spectrum - bass-heavy sounds, hypnotic techno elements, breakbeats, ambient, and experimental influences characterize her sonic palette. She takes her inspiration from a variety of different sources, and is passionate about experimentation in music and exploring the unexpected crossovers between different genres and different mediums.
Inspired by her fascination of the untouched wilderness, natural history, and geological exploration, Prieste5s’ sound is a synthesis of organic sound design and psychedelic atmospheres. Her music is an expression of the transience of experience, and the ephemerality of the natural world.

Fatale Furylax is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in Paris. A graphic designer, DJ, co-coordinator of Station Station Radio, and member of the collective and label De la…je l’espère, she crafts a sound rooted in contrast and alchemy. Her music is an eclectic tapestry—ambient drifting into bass, where dubstep pulses, breakbeats, drum & bass, and experimental echoes bloom into dark, organic landscapes.

In her music curation, she pays particular attention to highlighting minority artists, notably through her bimonthly show More FLINTA* in USB keys on Station Station Radio, and through her compilation Delphæ, released on the label of her collective.

A resident of Radio Sofa, she invites listeners on A Good Trip in My Mind—a sonic journey through the quiet, the strange, and the beautifully unclubbed corners of music.

Berlin-based artist Marie Tjong Ayong delivers a captivating four-tracker with her "motherland" EP, which unfolds like a sonic ritual—earthy, dubby, and steeped in natural rhythm. Navigating fluidly between dub techno, grey area, downtempo, and breakbeat, the EP carves out its own genre-blurring identity. The sound is rooted in a warm, organic atmosphere, driven by percussive detail and an unmistakably natural flow.
You can sense Marie’s background as a trained jazz trumpeter in the subtle musical intelligence that underlies each movement. From the driving, rhythm-heavy opener "freshelle" to the introspective, bass-laden "tiger balm", the EP continuously shifts form and energy. "desert of boredom" maintains the dub-soaked aesthetic while injecting a more forceful groove, before "rodeo of the bugs" rounds things off with deep, muted dub techno and refined percussive finesse.

About Marie Tjong Ayong

Born in 1994 to a jazz musician and a music teacher, Marie picked up the trumpet at the age of 12. From 2014 to 2019, she studied jazz trumpet at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln.
Her versatility and unique voice have since made her collaborator in a wide range of projects—from modern jazz ensembles like Leon Plecity’s Extraordinary Machine to Afrobeat and hip-hop collectives such as HYPNAGOGIA. She is also a member of the Rundfunk-Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld, the house band of ZDF Magazin Royale with Jan Böhmermann.
Marie Tjong Ayong’s work blurs boundaries—not only between genres, but between the tangible and the imagined.

Infame Radio was founded in 2022 in a kitchen in Brno’s central district as an independent response to the need for a dedicated cultural platform in the city. Initially conceived after a short-lived partnership with another local station, the idea was simple, create a space that artists and community members could genuinely call their own. After a few nomadic months in a living room setup, Infame eventually found its footing through a residency at the Vitamin Cultural Centre, where it continues to evolve alongside the wider community
