UK based Fractious (Stephen Garrett) has firmly fitted himself into the international techno community over the last few years, providing his own unique blend of groove based techno. 2016 was a big year for Fractious having caught the attention of Christian Smith, immediately signing him to his powerhouse label Tronic and also being featured on the annual Tronic Allstars VA. Kevin Saunderson followed suit signing Fractious to his KMS Records, Victor Calderone for his Matter label and just recently DJ Boris has acquired a track for his Transmit Recordings which is out early 2017. The success of these signings can be seen by the support from Karotte, Slam, Paco Osuna, Markantonio, Pan-Pot, Just Be, Axel Karakasis, Kaiserdisco, Paco Osuna and Richie Hawtin having played his collaboration with Irregular Synth at the Enter closing party in Space and for the next 6 months. 2014 was an explosive year, with Stacey Pullen charting a Fractious remix rocketing it into the Beatport Techno Top 100 and more regular plays from Richie Hawtin, from all over the globe, not only of his Fractious productions but also artists signed to his label Dynamo Recordings (co-owned with Ronan Teague - Decoy, Naked Lunch, Binary404). One track as such was used in an Official Minus Tour Video and was the first track in Richie Hawtin's BBC Radio One Essential Mix recorded live from Enter @ Space, Ibiza.

Fractious can be regularly found on other well-established labels such as Trapez, Waveform Recordings, MKT, Funk'n Deep, Loose Records, Gem Records, Pornographic, Night Light to name a few.

Fractious is in high demand when it comes to being remixed, with people such as Mr. C, Secret Cinema, ROD, Luigi Madonna, Frankyeffe, Steve Mulder, Richie Santana, Danilo Vigorito, Remy Unger, Petter B, Mars Bill, Matt Minimal, Dani Sbert, The Yellowheads, Alen Milivojevic, M. Fukuda, Peter Bailey, Etai Terazi all jumping at remix requests and always being approached by big labels and podcast sites.

Fractious is kept busy in the studio and as a testament to this, his tracks and Dynamo Recordings tracks appear more regularly in Beatport charts, DJ mixes & sets, being supported by all the big names in the industry in a global scale showing Fractious is a name in any techno enthusiasts head, already having international gigs under his belt this year and many more in the pipeline.
