Broken Particles is the third EP from enigmatic Brazilian artist Agazero (formerly DJ LHC, 177th and Vó1d). A journey into a distinctive, fragmented chaos future, exploring the glitches and distortions in an imagined reality. A deeply emotional and tactile response to a digital dystopia, fusing shards of grime, garage, drill and baile funk to form new hybrids.

Born in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, Agazero is a multifaceted producer, DJ and artist. Currently living in Niterói, a neighbouring city to Rio, he has established himself as part of a new wave of electronic experimentation in the region. With affiliations to local collectives Tormenta, and ZONA EXP, he is part of an exciting movement that has moved beyond the confines of narrow genre categorisation. His esoteric productions are also beginning to gain international recognition, with his music featured as part of the recent Bobby Beethoven (Total Freedom) curated Mugler runway show in Paris.

The EP features collaborations with some of the most exciting emerging talent from the Brazilian club scene including; innovative rap producer Tuti, experimental baile-funk/ club producer Laza and cutting edge visual artist and experimental electronic artist Yvu. Agazero's previous EP's have been released on Vancouver’s s.M.i.Le, and Brazilian grime label Leigo Records, with both exploring his fascination with scientific analogies. Broken Particles sees him develop and elaborate on these themes, symbolised by the change from Vó1d to Agazero the (written form in Portuguese of the acronym "H0") meaning Higgs Boson, "before the project was empty and now it is symbolised by the filling of this empty space by the particle of God (H0)."
