Kuboraum Digital Sound Residency

Kuboraum announces a series of ''Digital Sound Residency’’ beginning with Ziúr.

After a long time collaboration with the independent electronic music scene, Kuboraum is happy to launch their Digital Sound Residency, inviting experimental, electronic and contemporary music artists  to re-design their aesthetic through sound. 

First host of the series is the Berlin-based artist and producer Ziúr.

Ziúr’s music has always been difficult to classify. A longtime fixture in Berlin’s nightlife, the musician, producer and DJ has cut through decades of threads to arrive on a sound that accurately represents her journey. She approaches electronic music without any preciousness or reverence to genre. 

Ziúr’s exclusive sound-work for Kuboraum’s digital room www.kuboraum.com will be available for everyone to download subscribing to Kuboraum's newsletter via  https://bit.ly/35fqlCe

Ziúr’s music has always been difficult to classify. A longtime fixture in Berlin’s nightlife, the musician, producer and DJ has cut through decades of threads to arrive on a sound that accurately represents her journey. She’s sung, played guitar and drums and reduced club music to a burning cinder; with “Antifate”, her third album under the Ziúr moniker, she approaches electronic music without any preciousness or reverence to genre. 

2019’s acclaimed “ATØ” re-introduced songs to her canon, contorting her vocals over an undulating electronic backdrop. On “Antifate”, she takes this idea further, pushing abstracted pop forms into mists of digital euphoria and extracting unexpected instrumental flourishes from collapsing clouds of distorted rhythm. Electronic instru- mentation is melted into acoustic sounds and vice-versa, creating a breathing organic universe that’s entirely Ziúr’s.

Kuboraum announces the launch of their second Digital Sound Residency, 
after a long collaboration with the independent electronic music scene, the digital sound residency is a project which underlines how strong is the bond between Kuboraum and contemporary music; 
inviting experimental, electronic and contemporary music artists to re-design their aesthetic through an exclusive soundtracks for Kuboraum's digital room www.kuboraum.com available for everyone to download subscribing to Kuboraum's newsletter.

The second host of this series is the pioneer of the Birmingham electronic music scene, the man behind several projects which changed the electronic music scene, the Downwards founder, artist and producer REGIS.

LET LOVE DECIDE, written by REGIS, is an extract from the one-off performance LET THE NIGHT RETURN by Karl O’Connor aka REGIS which took place in June 2019 at the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus in Peloponnese - Greece. 
A remarkable UNESCO world heritage site devoted to Asclepius - the Greek god of medicine. The 2,360-year-old, 14.000 capacity open-air Auditorium which is still standing in its original form and shape, as the oldest and last remaining blueprint of architectural acoustics, naturally became the ideal setting for the act. 
In LET LOVE DECIDE Regis is shifting between his signature acoustics old and new, designing a huge spectrum of his deep personality while using his incredible cult voice.

Kuboraum is honored to receive LET LOVE DECIDE as a gift from one of their favourite artists and friend.

REGIS _ KUBORAUM _ LET LOVE DECIDE

Kuboraum presents the third episode of its Digital Sound Residency inviting the legendary Mike Paradinas, otherwise known as μ-Ziq, founder of the label Planet Mu and leading voice in the British electronic music over the last 25 years. 

In μ-Ziq’s own music, a sharp sound synthesis melts into melodic arrangements mixed with infectious rhythms and a passion for far-reaching, yet accessible experimentalism. 
From hardcore and breakcore to spacey, moody sounds of dubstep, he is devoted to progressive sounds that generate an effect on society in the way we perceive and dance music – while being at the same time influenced by society. In an attempt to tap into the inner soul of the listener, μ-Ziq elevates techno above the mere functionalism of the dancefloor, lighting fires in the heart and painting pictures for the mind’s eye.

In the pre-Planet Mu days, Paradinas collaborated with Aphex Twin on Expert Knob Twiddlers, a joint album issued in 1994 under the name Mike & Rich. Part of the same ecosystem, the two IDM pioneers were trying to create an electronic music that the UK could be proud of, rather than just making pure dancefloor tracks or Detroit techno facsimiles.

In 1998, Paradinas launched his own independent record label Planet Mu and started releasing material by ground-breaking artists as Jega, Venetian Snares, Vex’d, Luke Vibert and FaltyDL, including some of his own projects ‘Kid Spatula’ & the ‘Slag Boom Van Loon’ collaboration with Jochem Paap (aka Speedy J). Since then, despite seismic industry shifts and musical evolutions, he never lost his crucial position at the fringes of electronic music—from IDM to dubstep, grime to footwork. With over 400 releases, Planet Mu has become established as one of the mainstays of the electronic music scene, alongside Ninjatune and Warp, being always innovative and forward-thinking.

The 4th act of Kuboraum’s Digital Sound Residency presents Salò’s ‘La Ballata delle Mosche’. 
 
Springing from the Pasolinian macrocosm, Salò’s anthology is based on dualities: finding pleasure in the decadent, on literature and perversion, eternity and situationism, the grotesque and the visionary, fantasy and reality, the baroque and the contemporary, critique and provocation. All these juxtaposed elements come together in an allusive, murky imagery and open performative dimension which deny any form of canonicity or morality. Salo’s boundary-rejecting performances act as a medium to translate dualities into ritual practice and open a window in this performative landscape, combining psychedelic scenarios and mythological symbolism, rituality and rural iconography made of fairy tales, dreams and hypnotic scenes. 
A synaesthesia of noise music, esoteric atmospheres, baroque costumes and performance. Different artistic levels intersecting in a moment of collective creativity, which does not follow a specific path but stems from the holistic combination of different sounds.

SALÒ - La Ballata Delle Mosche

The 5th act of Kuboraum’s Digital Sound Residency presents <3less by Space Afrika, a delicately collaged soundscape spanning time, consciousness and genre.

The duo composed by producers Joshua Inyang and Joshua Tarelle made its name with dub techno-soaked sonic impressions of the grey streets and distinct voices of their hometown, Manchester.  As sonic painters, they portray visual stories in the listeners’ minds: rich emotional landscapes translated into contemplative, weightless sound collages. Oblique mosaics of dialogue, rhythm, texture, and shadow leaning into an enigmatic fusion of smoky dub, alchemize ambient and cosmic downtempo. Genre-spanning emotive electronic music rooted in everyday life and real-world experiences, allowing the listener to empathize and see the world through the artist’s eyes, just as they see it. 

Space Afrika started their career with minimal and dub techno productions. Their first albums Above The Concrete/BelowThe Concrete (2014) and  Somewhere Decent To Live (2018) were sparse yet intimate, paying tribute to the landscape of their home city, but also expressing a desire to escape its sometimes depressing disintegration. In 2020, they released the mixtape hybtwibt?, a powerful exploration of black consciousness through an assemblage of conversations, news reportage, r&b samples and ambience. Their third album "Honest Labour", featured as best album of 2021 in Pitchfork, Guardian and The Wire Magazine to name a few, is a 19-track collection of crepuscular moods and beautifully liquid washes of sound. A delicately created vulnerable sonic tapestry, almost entirely organic yet with a binding hint to something more cosmic in the air.

SPACE AFRIKA  <3less

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.

Mastering by Giuseppe Tillieci at EnissLab.
