At the beginning of a whole new Norbu trend, comes a release from promising young Belgrade artist droog. Droog takes us on a chunky glitchy journey through uplifting whooshes, funky minimal sounds and some ambient and feedback experiments.

droog - 01. vellocet

droog - 02. synthemesc

droog - 03. drencrom

The second coming of Norbu brings you an interesting EP from Belgrade's own Kalope. Occasionally drawing roots from Berlin-induced minimal techno and cold war numbers stations, Kalope takes us on a journey through lush ambience, numbers and bitcrushed beats.

kalope - 01. 12.603

This rather release from Droog brings yet another portion of seducing minimal techno goodness. This holiday release can be described as a shaped slice of both minimal and epic proportions, an exploration of the basic beats, funky bass and imperfect interaction of offbeats. Sexy, sweaty club bomb!

droog - 01. alles ist hermoso

droog - 02. muy schön

Norbu's fourth release is a reduced minimal techno coming from serbian producer Shoxy. Chunky percussion and bleeps build this minimal monster with pitched hits of synthetic drums and almost-industrial sounds forming this club release.

shoxy - 01. casanova

shoxy - 02. sombrero

This time we've prepared for you the perfect mixture of your favourite boule-based sporting event and a gentle giant robot story. This release is all about delayed and non-moving robotic jungle percussions. A first for Norbu, this release also features two bonus remixes by kalope and droog.

kalope - 01. petanque

kalope - 02. petanque (droog remix)

droog - 03. grgamrgatron

droog - 04. grgamrgatron (kalope remix)

This sixth, double-track release on Norbu is marked with a return of kalope, along with his already-trademark sound combining quirky minimal with experimental ambient elements. The ever-evolving tracks bounce and click, creating itself from found sounds and random claps and crackles, slowly developing itself into a soundscape of echoes, ambience and mangled-up samples.

kalope - 01. flatfield

kalope - 02. lintilla

After a lengthy and productive summer filled with new tracks and live festival goodness, Norbu is back with a two-track release where Droog comes to peace with his melodic side, exploring even further his deep nature. The metaphoric A side, Catapulto Magnifico is a return to glitchy Droog roots, while Temotico lefts you wondering if the world would be better with an oversized dose of melodies.

droog - 01. catapulto magnifico

droog - 02. temotico

After a lengthy pause, Kalope brings us another selection of aquatic-themed joyful  summer tracks.  Filled with deep-influenced spliced chords and echoing flutters, this release is further complemented by the Droog remix which is a clever reinvention of the original track.

kalope - 01. in deep sea expedition

kalope - 02. in deep sea expedition (droogs whats up mr jellyfish edit)

As we settle with the octal tradition and always in tune with the holiday spirit, we are proud to bring you yet another epic holiday-themed release. After a serious reviewing phase, we chose these tracks as the most fitting for this joyous release.
