about

Towards the beginning of 2023, we at DKA heard rumblings of a new cold-wave inspired acid performer/producer fogging up Atlanta’s stages. We were excited to learn that it was our friend Peter Roglin, aka Charolastra. Now working under the Fugitive Artifact moniker, DKA is thrilled to present his debut album, “Deferentiator.” Painted with bleak, textured, dystopian backdrops and dark cryptic lyrics, fugitive artifact is a unique exploration of dance music drawing on a breadth of influences from Chicago House, techno, electro, dark pop, and cold-wave.

Designed to be a vehicle to explore his darker, colder side, he wanted to do away with the laptop as much as possible, relying solely on drum machines and synthesizers. For Roglin, this project is about relinquishing control and embracing the ephemeral impermanence of musical ideas.

The theme of relinquishing control is at the centerpiece of Deferentiator in both approach and subject matter. Fitting right at home with local DKA acts TWINS and CRT, the now NYC-based Fugitive Artifact has imagined a sound reminiscent of Suicide and Drexciya combined with a strong appreciation of the cinematic film scores of David Lynch, Angelo Badalamenti, Nicolas Winding Refn, and Cliff Martinez.
