Sound of Fractures

Sound of Fractures doesn’t just make electronic music; he builds time capsules for the UK rave generation. His work feels haunted by the ghosts of jungle and 2-step, as London-based producer Jamie Reddington chops vocal samples into melancholic refrains over fractured, garage-inflected breakbeats. It’s a sound steeped in nostalgia but aimed squarely at the present, a quiet prolificacy that has earned nods from tastemakers on BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists show. In tracks like “Real Friends,” you can hear the entire project’s ethos: this isn’t empty revivalism for the dance floor, but the sound of memory and connection being pieced back together in the afterglow.
