The Time Has Come is an ode to hardcore in all its rich sub-genres, but also a hybrid manifesto full of contrasts, both sonic and emotional.

In this first EP, the producer and DJ KimberlaID plays with polarities, manipulating multiple references to the hardcore scene as she goes along. The chimerical voices of fictitious characters carry us along as we listen to and traverse her universe - or rather, her universes, for they are so multiple. In this EP full of mental images, contemplative melodies gradually clash with synthetic rave textures and meticulously selected kicks to plunge listeners into an ecstatic state conducive to dance. Sometimes gabber, sometimes terror, broken or unclassifiable, each track on the project is a journey where fragments of a shrewd blend of melancholy, sensitive saturation and solitary reveries nestle. It's this delicate alliance that makes this a project that abounds both on and off the dancefloor.

Not your run-of-the-mill working-class Eastern European non-binary DJ. The producer, vocalist, but also visual and digital artist strives for innovative sound design and visceral body response, despite (or maybe coupled with) raw emotion that permeates their musical output. They’re a proud member of the Ciężki Brokat crew (with whom they run the annual Warsaw Pride official afterparty), co-creator of Radio Kapitał, Polish ambassador for Keychange and SHAPE Platform 2021 resident.

Their own music has morphed several times throughout the last 15 years – from industrial or purely synthetic timbres, through polyphonic singing with Pleśni to a perplexing fusion of rhythmically and sonically jagged compositions, bass-heavy club tracks on their EPs, 'Gusła (Human Rites)' on Tańce, a limited vinyl release on London-based 51-53 Records, 'Doolska' and the latest, more experimental 'Lamenty' EP.

They presented their music during numerous festivals (Unsound, CTM, Schiev, Up To Date, Tauron Nowa Muzyka, Les Siestes Electroniques, Audioriver) and an assortment of clubs (including the legendary Berghain) in Poland and abroad (Berlin, London, Prague, Oslo, Copenhagen, Ljubljana). They remixed tracks by Kamp and Baasch, recorded mixes for Resident Advisor, DJ Mag, HӦR and CRACK, composed and created impromptu live music for interactive theatre plays: Method of National Constellations, quadraphonic sound for Jawić się, music for a Women’s Strike street theatre Manifesta and original score for Ideologix, a US-written and directed queer opera.

In the club their seventeen-year experience of supporting queer, anti-fascist and underground scenes results in an almost annoyingly disparate selection of the most forward-thinking sound offered by today’s scene. In their series of DJ-sets and club nights they blend unusual rhythmic patterns kicked up a notch with their improvised vocals.
