DJEF is a breathtaking sonic journey resulting from Sibéri's intimate musical personality. A profoundly personal release that brings us into an innocent and familiar place. Says the artist:

"The EP originated from my natural need to explore my family archives and delve into the past in general. This archive material holds something very unique for me; it is the genuine gold extracted from the raw materials of history.

Upon my grandfather's passing, he left behind a room filled with pictures he had taken, which were stored on Dias to be projected as part of his montages or diashows. These diashows also contained some accompanying sound, which led me to discover a 4-track reel-to-reel tape recorder and playback device. Among the various tapes I found, some were experimental, unfinished projects, while others contained full-fledged recordings of his voice, music, and sound design, carefully put together for one of his 'slideshows.'

Having gathered all this captivating material, I began incorporating it into my own music creation, and something magical happened: my grandpa's voice, his sound design, and the music I was producing harmoniously fused together to become the EP you are about to listen to.

My hope is that this EP will inspire more people to delve deeper into their own selves, to explore personal, family, and community archives, and to extract the precious treasures hidden in the past."

"HYDRA" is a dynamic and nostalgic UK breakbeat/future bass track that radiates energy and fierceness. It not only pays homage to the rich heritage of UK garage but also boldly charts a course toward the future. With its earth-shaking bass lines, mind-bending glitches, and intricately syncopated drums, this composition immerses listeners in a state of euphoric bliss and an irresistible groove.

We take great pride in introducing "HYDRA," FRCTLS' second single for Shapeless Culture, as we continue to witness the artist's evolving and innovative musical journey.

Artist quote:

This track was a real turning point for me. It was probably one of the hardest tracks to create in my whole production experience. The hardest part was not the technical aspect of it, but reaching quite literally the “vibe” I felt inside. In a certain sense this track helped me clarify to myself the direction I wanted to go as an artist, and the emotions I wanted to convey with my music. As a musician that loves club music it’s always been very hard to find that middle ground between arranged music and club tracks. With this one I believe to have learned the method through trial and error, but now I have a better idea of what my musical language is. This learning process gave birth to a track that I’m truly proud of.

We are super happy to share the second track from NOCUI's upcoming album “Machine Power.” Fierce, brutal, and explosive, the hardcore sound design on this track is meant to depict the commanding sense of power that comes from our modern technological infrastructures.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed and directed by the dynamics of the machines that surround us? Well, this is the feeling NOCUI tried to portray with this track. That sense of overwhelming psychological dictatorship that comes from the technological tools we use. That sense of gratification mixed with intoxication. The hypnosis that derives from the delegation of responsibility to our macro technological systems. Seducing and powerful. De-humanizing and alienating.

‘Give Up Control’ marks the advent of Shapeless Culture boss and sonic multihyphenate NOCUI’s upcoming concept album, Italian Robot. A project that delves deep into the complex nexus of technology, society, and human existence, NOCUI (and Shapeless Culture’s) debut long-player encapsulates a profound exploration of our modern era, where every track carries a distinct purpose and meaning. Setting the scene for the album project, on ‘Give Up Control’ we are invited on an introspective journey into the realms of a techno/human hive mind society. The single examines the tension between human autonomy and the technological infrastructures that increasingly envelop our world. Sonically the track embraces retro-futurism with a thrusting Italo sensibility - irresistible 808 rhythms and spacey synths dance beneath NOCUI’s commanding spoken vox.

After stepping into full vocalist-and-performer mode on his previous single, "Crave The Physical," NOCUI returns to the mic with the electrifying "ONE LIFE," blending Daft Punk-inspired robot funk with his signature sound. This track leans into retro-futurist vibes that fans of Kavinsky will find irresistible, fusing mind-bending vocoders, gritty distorted synths, massive 80s-style drums, and masterful sound design. "ONE LIFE" takes listeners on a thrilling sonic journey, delivering a powerful message about the desire for genuine human connection in a world dominated by digital influence, and urging us to reflect on the fragility and value of life itself.

Following the release of his critically acclaimed 2024 debut Album Italian Robot, Italian-born, Berlin-based DJ/producer and composer, NOCUI, announces his return with ‘High Hopes’, the first single taken from his forthcoming EP, Club Exit. ‘High Hopes’ arrives on the 21st of March via Shapeless Culture.

With a growing catalogue that includes the EPs Anomie and Starlight Delight, as well as standout singles like ‘Crave The Physical,’ ‘Machine Power,’ and ‘Faster,’ NOCUI has firmly established himself as one of the most exciting new voices in electronic music. Last year’s debut LP, Italian Robot marked a turning point—an ambitious three-part conceptual project that saw him step fully into performer mode, exploring the fragility of humanity in an era of rapid technological change.

His new single, ‘High Hopes’ signals a shift in direction. Where Italian Robot interrogated the tensions of a hyper-connected world, this latest release turns inward, embracing sensuality, vulnerability, and emotional depth. Driven by lush, synth-led production and silky-smooth vocals, NOCUI seamlessly fuses elements of pop, R&B, and deep house, offering a dreamy yet melancholic soundscape. The result is a track that balances yearning with quiet optimism, evoking both the ache of longing and the thrill of possibility.

A bold new chapter for an artist in constant evolution, ‘High Hopes’ sets the tone for what’s to come with Club Exit - a project that sees NOCUI pushing his sound into even more intimate and emotionally charged territory, one where deep emotion meets cutting-edge production.
