Fractions

Fractions is a Prague-based electronic project that has become a pivotal name in the contemporary EBM-techno crossover movement. Emerging prominently around 2017-2018 with releases on Fleisch Records, the artist tapped into a global resurgence of industrial sounds, moving away from the slower tempos of traditional darkwave toward a high-BPM, club-ready aesthetic. Their sound identity is built on a foundation of aggressive percussion, modular synthesis, and a 'cold' production style that emphasizes metallic textures and distorted low-end.

Throughout their career, Fractions has evolved from pure industrial experimentation into a more refined, high-energy rave sound, as heard on later EPs like 'Daytona' and 'Violent Eyes'. They occupy a cultural position within the 'New EBM' scene, bridging the gap between the leather-clad aesthetics of the 80s and the modern warehouse techno circuit. Influenced by early pioneers like D.A.F. and Front 242 but updated with the sonic weight of artists like Perc or Ansome, Fractions is critically regarded for maintaining high production standards within a genre often defined by lo-fi grit. They are a staple for DJs looking to inject punk energy into techno sets.
