Refracted - Through The Spirit Realm

Through The Spirit Realm is Refracted’s first LP, from 2015, and it comes Canada’s excellent Silent Season, a home to Rasmus Hedlund, Quantec, and ASC, among others. “Enter The Jungle” quickly gives a picture of what’s to come thanks to the track’s abstract blend of animal sounds, a myriad of noises which is swallowed up the warm and dubby swings of “The Jungle Is Thick” – a Donato Dozzy kinda lick. The whole LP follows a similar string of thought, one that binds stripped back techno together with deep ambience and slow-moving plates of drone; “The Ritual Begins” is simply hypnotic and we could keep it on for hours on loop. It’s tribalism at its most cutting-edge, and an altogether fantastic debut performance from this growing techno personality.” – Juno
