[in-tensions]

“Paper Ruins” is a dramatic and melancholic debut from Sozorie, an up-and-coming producer from Minsk, Belarus. Beautiful experimental ambient and arty electronica inspired by “visionary architecture,” the kind of architecture that is not realistic and only exists on paper.

Nikolay Steshitz, the person behind Sozorie, is really enjoying creating what he calls “controlled aggression” in his sound. Indeed, even the lushest moments of “Paper Ruins” possess a certain tension, buried underneath the elusive melodies and the rubbery beats.

The album showcases a rich production palette. Some synth work here sounds “classic,” repurposing the classic IDM/electronica/downtempo canon. But then everything changes, and we get more penetrative, siren-like hyperboles that clash against glitches, kick drums, and distorted clangs shaping rhythmic passages not dissimilar to early Amnesia Scanner. Sozorie ties all of these broad influences into a knot and carefully places them inside a narrative, and it does feel like a scaled paper model of a brilliant, strange building. Steshitz comes up with a fresh vision and an excellent record equal parts a home listening trip and great material for the more adventurous DJs.

Blossoming

Transforming Matter

I'm running back to me feeling homesick
soon I might recall the savory flavor
of what will ease me until I'm mellow
I move so the floor beneath me transforms into a flow
does it really matter if I'm loved beloved unloved
if I submerged deep in dirt and died slow
-li al

We breathe in oxygen, transform it into carbon dioxide and breathe out. One simple witness of transforming matter. With this album I became aware of this inevitable movement and my deeply rooted need to live that. So I could not restrict myself any longer not to surrender to it, to the creative flow.
Very new and important to me was to collaborate with such immensely talented artists. It has elevated and transformed my production skills & process. I feel very honored to connect, learn and transform matter - together.

Oscilla Sound welcomes Andriy K. to its Liminal catalogue with 'Poetry of the Vanished Territories', an audiovisual exploration of central and southern Ukraine's landscapes, capturing memories of fading places that linger between what was and what remains.
Using open source data and field recordings from the corresponding locations, Andriy K. and pryvyd layer abstract compositions with fragments of reality, blending nature and memory.
The journey begins with 'Lybid,' a tribute to one of the oldest rivers in Kyiv, that endures in its fight for existence. The diptych 'Kinburn Before' and 'Kinburn After' tells the story of a sandy stretch in the northwest of the Kinburn Peninsula, nestled between the Dnieper-Bug estuary and the Black Sea. Continuing the path, 'Ozon Dub' transforms matter's state, with water gradually giving way to gas, only to revert back to the salty depths on 'Oily Sea'. 
An archive of the transient, 'Poetry of the Vanished Territories' invites you on a journey through the spaces in-between.

PREMIERE: Arsène Martinet - Mysticism [Face Æ]

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: Okgwa - Sikdang (Space Drum Meditation Remix) [PLN02]

Following the acclaimed self-released “Hwan Se 환세”, Korean composer Okgwa comes back on Polën with her most dense work yet : Hayan Kkot.

Drawing from the Korean spiritual concept of Han (a blend of deep grief and resentment, but not without hope), Okgwa weaves a subtle web that stretches across space and seasons, reflecting on death, life and on the fragile boundaries between humans, consistently shaping her unique sound through an intense ten-track album that follows directly on from her first album.

In Korea, the year is traditionally divided into 24 solar terms (절기), subtle seasonal points based on the movements of the sun and moon that guide farming and life rhythms.
In Okgwa’s previous album, the last track was Equinox (추분 or 춘분). The following solar term after the equinox is Hanro (Cold Dew): the moment when autumn deepens, the air turns sharp and clear, and cold dew gathers on the grass.

This new album, organized in three acts, closes with the track Hanro, which is also its release day: October 8th. A time when the earth itself exudes that cool, luminous breath.

The Space Drum Meditation remix enriches Okgwa’s sonic voyage, offering a striking and singular reinterpretation of the track Sikdang.

Composition, vocals, mixing and arrangement by Okgwa

Is it really necessary? If you inventorise your interiority, do you conclude that it is truly needed? Does it enrich your life? Does it advance you? Does it bring you in touch with something higher or perhaps more fundamental, pre-verbal, primal, real? Does it bring you to the dirt, the mineralised mulch from whence life springs, from which perhaps the first doddering molecule of our ancestry formed? Yes? It's aircode's 'No Need To Know', premiered by Madjestic Kasual then, presumably, is it not? It is? It is. Proceed. It's necessary.

aircode - No Need To Know [MK PREMIERE]

For the latest edition of the Kuboraum Digital Sound Residency, we welcome UK-born, Berlin-based DJ, producer, and curator Significant Other with ‘Lust On Your Shoulders’, a new work created together with Rosabella Allen.

Operating at the fringes of contemporary electronic music, Significant Other has long cultivated a liminal, emotionally charged sound world where ambient drift, dub-infused shadows, and rougher club sonics fold into one another. First emerging from the Brooklyn underground, where he co-founded the influential event series and label Club Night Club, he became known as a covert curatorial force behind a new wave of late-2010s dance music. His releases, scattered across key UK imprints and often devoid of any biographical framing, positioned him as an enigmatic presence navigating the more skewed, atmospheric ends of modern electronic production.

With his 2021 debut album Residuum on Manchester’s cult label YOUTH, he stepped further from the dancefloor and into a spectral, textural register: a full-length exploring tension, release, and catharsis in slow motion. In the years since, his work, and his DJ sets alike, has only grown more difficult to define, slipping fluidly between introspection and propulsion, structure and dissolution, presence and disappearance.

In 2024 he launched Pain Management, a record label and Berlin event series dedicated to outsider sound and anti-dancefloor expression, spoken word, hellish dub, avant-garde electronics “body music for restless minds.” 'Lust On Your Shoulders' extends this spirit, channeling a tender but volatile emotional charge amplified by Rosabella Allen’s vocal presence, pushing the project into new narrative and sensorial territory.

Rosabella Allen is a Manchester-based artist whose work spans poetry, visual art, and experimental music. Her work explores the complexities of love, the quiet beauty in the self-contained narratives we carry as individuals and the collective energy emerging from club spaces. 
Across both her solo practice and as vocalist for the Manchester/Glasgow-based trio Shell Company, her distinctive prose and heart-sleeve vocals have drifted above a range of electronic and post-rock influenced musical styles. Collaborations include entries to Rainy Miller’s stellar Fixed Abode outlet and work alongside fellow ‘Northern Gothic’ outsiders such as Richie Culver & LINTD.

Arriving ahead of a major long-form work slated for 2026, this Kuboraum Sound Residency offers an early, intimate signal of what is to come: a deepening of the project’s textural language, its emotional bandwidth, and its ongoing search for new forms of suspended, fugue-state listening.

‘Lust On Your Shoulders’ will be available to download by subscribing to Kuboraum Berlin News.

Mastering by Giuseppe Tillieci at Enisslab.
