REFRACTION is a dao of music, art, and culture enthusiasts— a diverse community who produce festivals and ongoing events, release NFT projects, and create written, visual, and audio content around art, culture, and music today.

Launching festivals across the globe, with the performances, installations and music sets being recorded to culminate in an extended festival in the Open Metaverse, establishing partnerships with: Mutek, Public Records, Standard Time, and Rhizome.

As part of their Creatives First editorial, the label was asked to provide an exclusive mix, along with a short interview:

Built from the Perpetual Care back catalogue, unreleased demos, and tracks from a few friends of the label, the mix moves between hip-hop and dubstep, experimental club cuts and swelling ambient soundscapes. As Eel moves in and out of genres, snaking his way across from beatless wonderment to tempos upwards of 140 BPM, the tracks share this sense of both reserve and hope.

Eel's selections are mostly crystalline club gear, shaped with angular synths and hard hitting drums. But they are also intimate and warm, filled with moments of beauty and surprise. This is the sound of a community coming together to create, as he puts it, "our own universe of sound."
