Stage: Utopia

Hypnagog is a musical project of Felix Fractal aka Terrafractyl and Mental Extensions.
After years of writing Psychedelic dance music and experimenting with plenty of other sonic forms, Felix started to spend more time listening to downtempo, psychedelic breaks, IDM and the like. It was time to combine these styles with his own to create some kind of hybrid, beat driven, yet melodic sound. As the project has progressed, Felix has also been experimenting with a kind of jazzy progressive trance and has been working to combine these 2 styles into what could maybe be described as Psychedelic ProgStep. As always, his music is hard to describe and difficult to put into boxes and has been surprising and exhilarating audiences around the world for the past couple of years.

He has released two EP's on UP records , 'Dreaming in Pieces' (2009) and 'Gyroscopic Bebop'(2010) , and in 2012 another EP, ‘Infinite Vibrations’ on Adapted records. Most Recently, Felix released the debut Hypnagog album, 'Thematic Mathematics', on his own label Kinematic Records. This album represents 3 years of Felix's Hypnagogical experimentation, all wrapped up and woven into an intricate and very unique 80 minutes of sonic vibrations. In 2019, he released ‘Technological Determinism’ which ebbs on the four to the floor, Techno / progressive trance inspired side of things.

His most recent release is his 2nd full length studio album ‘Collected Dream Fragments’, a 3 part series released in 2023. This varied collection of mostly downtempo and experimental tunes has come together over several years of contemplation and reflection, and features a lot of Piano playing, modular synth work and of course the usual hypnagogic time signature changes and freedom of tempo, that are perhaps not so common in electronic music. This release also feels especially personal, a channeling if you will, of my feelings and emotions over some -interesting- times.
