The underground techno world got a serious jolt with the release of Tokyo Techno City EP by Fragmentor on May 9, 2025. Hailing from Italy and born in the electric ’80s, Fragmentor kicked off his journey in 2014, carving out a name with a sound that’s dark, intense, and razor-sharp. He’s rocked iconic spots like //about blank in Berlin, Vent in Tokyo, River Port in Kyiv, and Genau in Turin, building a rep among techno diehards. His catalog boasts releases on heavy-hitting labels like Quartz Rec and Ribbon Recordings, including the standout single ‘Black Tartan’ with a remix by Tobias, plus a rework for Jonas Kopp.
Outside the decks, he’s a co-founder of Follow The Flow, a project fusing techno with nature-inspired visuals and sounds, pushing the idea of rediscovering the wild through tech.
The EP itself packs five tracks that scream Fragmentor’s style. ‘Tokyo Techno City’ kicks things off with a throbbing bassline and layered synths, locking you into a relentless, trance-like groove. ‘Techno Thriller’ dials up the grit with warped kicks and haunting melodies that build and break with raw energy. Then there’s ‘Limbo’, a slower, moody cut with a deep, atmospheric edge, before ‘Posterity’ slams back in with a driving rhythm and forward-leaning sound design. Rounding it out, ‘Ancestral Healing (Rave Mix)’ mixes tribal percussion with sleek techno vibes, delivering a heady, immersive closer.
Tokyo Techno City EP solidifies Fragmentor as a force in techno, weaving his Italian roots into a sound that’s globally resonant. It’s built for the dancefloor but carries a bigger vibe, tying into his Follow The Flow mission. As he puts it, “Music is a way to rediscover the natural flow of things, and technology is the tool that allows us to do so.” This release is a must for anyone deep in the techno trenches.
