While thinking of how to interpret the concept of degrowth musically, I decided on a mixture of blending songs that repurpose or recycle sounds and melodies. Be it by sampling, interpolation, or sonic aesthetic. Another layer I tried to include were references in lyrics or song titles to our current global situation and possible futures as well as music that sounds both timeless and sci-fi.


I hope this mix can be something to fade into and zone out with while giving the listener a chance to daydream or imagine another world.


Thank you to Rave cafe for the invitation

For the latest episode of Kuboraum's Digital Sound Residency, Paris-based DJ and producer Bambounou links up with Malian rapper Sadandsolo for 'Sweet Sixteen', balancing melodic verses over stripped-back beats that sit between electronic experimentation and rap.

Born and raised in Paris, with Malian and Polish heritage, Bambounou (Jérémy Guindo de Montalembert) emerged in the early 2010s as one of the leading voices of a new French electronic scene, as part of the YounGunZ and ClekClekBoom collectives. He cut his teeth behind the decks at iconic venues like Social Club and Concrete, sculpting a fluid, unruly sonic language: grounded in the discipline of hypnotic house, fractured by IDM-like rhythmic disjunctions, and driven by a constant sense of tension. 

From his early releases on 50Weapons (Modeselektor’s imprint) to more conceptual compositions for AD93 (fka Whities, founded by Nic Tasker), he’s refined a style where groove continually slips just out of reach — creating friction without losing momentum. 

With BAMBE, his own imprint launched in 2021, he pushes this exploration to its core: stripped-back, percussive, and highly tactile club music. Whether solo (Cascade, The Life of a Touring DJ) or in close collaborations with Bruce (Final Conference) and Priori (C.R.U.S.H.), each release reflects a deep attention to detail and a desire to open rhythm up — to probe its fissures. 
His remixes follow the same instinct for divergence, bending tracks by Moby or Sampha to reveal unexpected textures and hidden reliefs. As a DJ, that same sensitivity to surprise and balance runs through his sets: a sinuous path through organic house, electronic experiments, and percussive ruptures — inviting both deep listening and physical surrender. 
With Levantarse, his latest solo project, Bambounou opens a new, prolific chapter, where pulse becomes a lens for exploring fine-grained textures and shifting forms. A music that moves forward without settling, attentive to both vertigo and nuance.

This same restless curiosity shapes his collaboration with Sadandsolo — an artist whose own journey crosses continents and cultures. Born Raoul Carrer, Sadandsolo was raised between Mali, Benin, Senegal, and South Africa before settling in Europe. He carries with him a mosaic of influences and memories, which inform a deeply personal, genre-fluid voice.

His latest single, 2006 till infinity, draws from that itinerant youth and paints a vivid portrait of a Gen Z kid discovering music through cracked software, LimeWire downloads, and YouTube rabbit holes. It’s the story of a digital native finding solace — and a sense of self — in music. 
A turning point: “YouTube changed my life / I watched the videos, I wanted to change clothes.”

Sadandsolo is part of a new wave of artists blending introspection with presence, memory with movement. Together, he and Bambounou craft a sound that bridges physical and emotional landscapes, while remaining sharply attuned to the moment.

'Sweet Sixteen' will be available to download by subscribing to Kuboraum Berlin News.

Bambounou feat. Sadandsolo - Sweet Sixteen

In the last few years, Miami has transformed into a hotbed of raw talent and one of its hallmarks is SEL.6, who also happens to be one of the finest artists originally out of Broward County. Jumpstarting her career with the widely revered and self-released Desire series and initiated into Miami’s scene via Space Tapes, the label that launched some of Miami’s most prized and internationally recognized dance music artists; she has woven herself into the fabric of the city’s underground telling the story of her Floridian identity and giving beauty and finesse to the sounds that encompass “Floridacore” in electronic music. Her productions are characterized by signature trancelike soundscapes, sampling inspired by a deep passion and respect for R&B, combined with crisp and powerful percussions while weaving between electro to breaks to hardgroove to jungle making her music perfect for any high ocassion and landing her onto labels like Allergy Season and Omnidisc. This energy transcends into the way she plays, always creating impactful and heavy dance floor moments cementing her as a gem in the city’s club culture. Truly a DJ’s DJ, a massive talent and a dear friend we have loved and watched grow alongside us. 

Secular Music is a sonic exploration rooted in Florida’s rich musical landscape. Blending 90's club influences, humid rhythms, emotive synths, and ethereally expressive textures. Blurring the line between the secular and the spiritual, the theme teases religious undertone, highlighting the irony of club music as both non-secular and deeply spiritual. Secular Music is a tribute to personal transitions, a deep connection to place, and the state’s vibrant music culture. The EP features Miami's own Coffintexts and a remix anthem by Miami Bass queen Jubilee.

For quite some time now, there has been a noticeable revival of trip hop among the media, record labels, DJs, and producers. This genre, which shaped my musical sensibility in the 1990s, is still close to my heart. That is why the growing wave of nostalgia for those times and its revival in a new, contemporary form served as a pretext for me to filter my favorite trip hop productions through a sound close to the outlines label. In this way, the music of legendary trip hop icons such as Nightmares on Wax, Laika, and Silent Poets has been mixed with tracks by DJ Fulltono, Sun People, Janka, and DJ Rashad. The result is a futuristic throwback to the past.
