kuebiko - n. a state of moral exhaustion inspired by acts of senseless violence, which force you to revise your image of what can happen in this world


Kuebiko (久延毘古 ?) is the Shinto kami ("god; deity") of knowledge and agriculture, represented in Japanese mythology as a scarecrow who cannot walk but has comprehensive awareness.

Ocean Sky captures the feel of being next to the Pacific Ocean in Vancouver. The often overcast sky can become absolutely brilliant when the sun finds a way through the clouds. The constant activity on the seawall maintains a steady rhythm while the skyline invites introspection.
Finished August 11th, played out to an audience in a set that night at MIA in Gastown, Vancouver.

Groundwerk Recordings is a label driven by ART>EGO. Groundwerk's sound reflects the moody depth of an urban landscape existing between ocean and forest. From bright outgoing summer days to dark and heavy winter nights, our releases aim to tell the story of the four seasons experienced in our west coast city. 
Music featured on Groundwerk Recordings has sprouted from grassroots electronic music community initiatives in Vancouver, Canada. The most predominant of these initiatives is the Groundwerk Listening Party, a monthly social meet-up for electronic music enthusiasts to connect and collaborate. With these events gaining momentum, Groundwerk Recordings is born, ready to present its community to the world.
We launch with an EP from Diana Boss, a production duo that has been with us since Groundwerk Listening Party 001. 
The single West Coast, featuring lyrics and vocals from Vancouver artist Elle Wolf, soars over the coastline and with guitar arpeggios and a hint of synth driven-hardness. 
The B-side Legacy is a sassy bassline driven stomper with a wide-open drop.
Karsten Sollors' West Coast remix takes the single deeper and later into the party, delivering a lower groove that sits well in a tech-house set. 
Stay tuned for more house & techno from Canada's west coast. 
From all of us at Groundwerk, thank you for listening.
