Fracture w/ Blackeye MC at Anara, Boomtown
Keep Hush Takeover
Boomtown’s Anara stage is the kind of place where basslines mutate and time feels elastic, making it the perfect setting for Fracture’s drum & bass and jungle set with Blackeye MC—a session that feels both meticulously crafted and thrillingly loose. The vibe is earthy, chaotic, and communal, with Blackeye’s vocals riding the breaks like a seasoned pilot. Technically, Fracture locks into a 165.4 BPM average, weaving through keys like 7A and 3B to maintain a dark, psychedelic flow.
The energy profile—52% low, 37% mid, 11% high—builds on sub-bass pressure and intricate drum programming, with mids handling the amen chops and synth stabs, all mixed with a junglist’s deft touch for tension. For crate diggers, the opener ‘All of the Massive’ is a Fracture original that sets a militant tone, while Harmony’s ‘Bee’ is a classic jungle roller that never loses its sting. Sully’s ‘Werk’ and ‘Extant’ are modern breakbeat masterclasses, and Cheetah’s ‘Gorgon Donnetes’ is a twisted, halftime surprise.
Fracture & Tim Reaper’s ‘Whipcrack’ and ‘Operator’ showcase the new school’s homage to the old. The journey starts with ‘All of the Massive’, peaks in the broken-beat expanse of ‘Werk’, and closes on the skittering ‘Dancing Toms’—a tracklist that bridges jungle’s past and future.
