Christian Fial, also known as Infekt (often stylized as INFEKT) and FROOT, is a bass music artist and production tutor born in Bayreuth, Germany and is currently based in Montréal, Québec. Infekt creates trench, trap and electronica.
Fial is an undisputed influence for the modern trench and dubstep scenes, having created landmark tracks such as Raptor, Orgalorg and Sectumsempra, all of which heavily inspired and reinvigorated their respective genres with their minimal, yet complex sound design and catchy arrangements.
Fial is a vocal advocate for the renaming of the dubstep sub-genre 'riddim' to 'trench', citing its problematic origins: a piracy website for electronic music using an already existing Jamaican dancehall term. On 4 December 2022 Fial released his full statement on the matter, announcing he will be only be using 'trench' to refer to the subgenre from that point on,
