Berlin's Kuboraum Editions celebrates another round of its ongoing Kuboraum Sound Residency with a bumper 19-track volume of exclusive tracks from its vibrant creative community, music that challenges contemporary logic and prioritizes what really matters: experimentation, exchange and evolution. Like its predecessor, Kuboraum Sound Residency Vol. 2 is assembled like a proper album in the classic sense, something that's supposed to be absorbed from start to finish. And although there are no constraints placed on artists, there's a similar radical philosophy that surges through each and every contribution. From beginning to end, it's music that rewards curious ears and open minds. South Korean artist bela opens the compilation with "Mouton and Blade," shaping their powerful voice into an orchestra of growls alongside a wheezing, instrumental ensemble. And Rome's Cosimo Damiano, who's been a part of the Kuboraum family since day one, turns in an unsettling solo experiment, juxtaposing Irma Ticozzelli's pitch shifted voices with scratchy, psychedelic electronics. Catalan pianist, vocalist and producer Marina Herlop traverses her verdant sonic landscape on "alas," matching her singular voice with birdsong to provide a hopeful interspecies dawn chorus. Kenyan vanguard Lord Spikeheart meanwhile links hands with Italian producer Talpah to dream up "SILENCE IN THE C-DRAL," a gruesome trap hybrid that airlifts itself from the basement to the stadium. All of that noise makes Mexican duo Estrella del Sol and Luisa Almaguer's peaceful "Deseo" a necessary palate cleanser. On "TLC," versatile French producer Low Jack reconvenes with Le Diouck, complimenting the Franco-Senegalese artist's throaty rhymes with serpentine synths and jerky rhythms. Colombian sound artist Lucrecia Dalt teams up with percussionist Alex Lázaro, whose flexible electroacoustic rhythms are the perfect foil for her sultry lounge shakes on "Synonym Mask." Bristol's Mun Sing continues his journey towards the club's quirkiest corners with his aptly titled loosie "Fluffy," a bass-heavy, lurching banger. Working again alongside the great Annie Hogan, EROS turn in the moody "Burnt Crossing," a slithering, moonlit addendum to 2024's "Your Truth is a Lie." As the compilation moves into its final act it ventures to the UK once more, stopping in Birmingham for a track from Lee Gamble and in Preston to pick up Rainy Miller's widescreen "My Wings, Never Clipped." Then, fittingly, it's back to Italy for the noisy "Fury," a punky and curiously romantic solo experiment from acclaimed visual artist and musician Emiliano Maggi. The curtains finally close on Julija Castellucci's operatic "Lullaby," a perfectly evocative conclusion to a project that exists between disciplines.

Ocean Cage is a live recording of Tianzhuo Chen and Siko Setyanto's performance Moyang and Seaman -- a forking stage work that evolved from the immersive theatre performance project Ocean Cage, sharing the same title. Directed by Tianzhuo Chen, aka Asiandopeboys, the immersive performance Ocean Cage merges scenography, installation, choreography, and live music into a unified whole. Inspired by the complex whaling traditions in Lamalera, an Indonesian village that preservers ritualized whaling practices and ancestral beliefs, the work unfolds through interconnected trinities. It tells a porous story of unlocking the cage of the ocean: receiving ancestral blessing while becoming entangled with misjudgement, misunderstanding, ecological grief, and temporal displacement, until the sacrifice and life cycles move toward equilibrium. Evolving from this larger narration, Moyang and Seaman shifts into a frontal, meditative dialogues between ancestor and seaman. Inspired by Japanese Noh theatre and deeply rooted in Nusantara traditions, the performance integrates music, dance, and stage art into a mutable and fluid process, continuing to explore ancestral presences, cyclical time, and spiritual transformation. The album features music by KADAPAT and Nova Ruth, interwoven with Siko Setyanto's narrations and monologues. KADAPAT's electronic-gamelan practice moves through interlocking rhythm and cyclical time structures, extending asymmetrical Balinese ancestral yet modern sonic with digital signal. Bamboo and metal, folk and sacred, horizontal and vertical forces collide and co-exist, forming layered pulses that shift and reform in motion. Born and raised in Java, Nova Ruth's voice emerges from lived cosmology of oneness, where beings are interdependent and entangled. Singing becomes vibration from her body, carrying ecological awareness through shifting currents of fluxes and forces. Siko Setyanto describes his practice as "bodily musicality" -- a choreography in which movement and monologues interweave seamlessly with music, allowing the body listen, respond, and compose in real time. On the album, his voice retains that immediacy -- a trace of bodily musicality translated into sound. Ocean Cage also records the reciprocal, communal, improvisational, polymetric, and relational collaborations among Nova Ruth, Siko Setyanto, KADAPAT and Tianzhuo Chen. No role is fixed; no expression remains confined to its original context. In this sense, Ocean Cage becomes an assembled living being. This limited-edition deluxe vinyl edition features a gatefold sleeve with a sewn-in 16-page booklet, including scenario sketches by Tianzhuo Chen, articles by Dr. Freda Fiala and Milia Xin Bi, and performance photography by Nathaniel Brown and Camille Blake.

Berlin-based composer and vocalist FRANKIE, also known as Franziska Aigner, and Dominican-American producer Kelman Duran meet at the Twelve Apostles Church, in the Berlin district of Schöneberg, sometime in 2022, at the beginning of the spring season. They were each asked to engage the space's solemnity, and its reverence, through distinct performances. Their chance encounter, abounding with mutual curiosity towards each other's practices, smoothened the path for a years-long collaboration, culminating in McArthur, their first joint album. Following a period of exchanging musical fragments and prompts at a distance, Aigner and Duran come together in Athens, and later in Los Angeles, to prepare the stuff and material for the album, slowly developing a body of work informed by shared hauntings, and a commitment towards the disjointed and the residual. The result is an album where time and geography are made elastic, and where sonic improvisations become a site for quiet, and cryptic, articulations of intimacy. Throughout the album, there is a double process at play -- that of solitary work on the one hand, and of collective weeding out on the other. "BWV 639" is a reworking of a Bach cantata, the time signature of which Aigner stretches towards a new composition. Pianist Iris Moldiz recorded the part in Salzburg's Mozarteum, dislodging the classical canon into eerie territory. "Techno 127 BPM" invites Aigner's searing cello lines to unfurl over, and carve itself a space within, a skeletal techno beat. "McArthur" anchors a wandering trumpet solo by Zhang Hungtai against a deep bassline. Produced by Duran in Warp Studio, which overlooks McArthur Park in Los Angeles, the piece is an attempt at sketching a horizon of convergence, and of possibility. There is, across McArthur, a stubborn, if not militant, refusal to arrive at completeness, and an insistence on finding potentiality in the thresholds. If unknowability and the fear of extinction appear to rule our present conjuncture, then an accompanying soundtrack worthy of its name should express a determined engagement with, and a generous attunement to, the contradictions at play.

On her fifth album, Ziúr considers not just what home symbolizes from her perspective, but the word's resonance to the diverse community that surrounds her, and how their stories have impacted her over the years. Indeed, it's the first time she's felt it necessary to examine her own nationality. In the past, she's deliberately avoided labelling herself as German, feeling disconnected from her country's politics, culture and even the German language itself. Stepping up to provide a different narrative, Ziúr scours her soul, writing and singing in German for the first time and proposing growth and evolution, not fear and regression. A solemn mood permeates the album's opening track 'Brown is the Color', and Ziúr sings in measured, slow-motion breaths over noisy synth oscillations and doomed piano flourishes. Already, it's a significant departure from her last run of releases, veering away from the frenetic, satirical chaos of 2023's Hakuna Kulala-released Eyeroll or its fantastical, dubby predecessor Antifate. Ziúr pulls on real world insights here, tracing her oldest, dearest musical inspirations to present her origins to anybody who might be listening. It's pop music in its own way, inverted and reconstructed to fit snugly into her well-established sonic landscape. On "No Yawn," brittle, downsampled hi-hats and industrial scrapes ping-pong around distorted riffs, provided by James Ó Ceallaigh aka WIFE. Even the beatless "All Odds No Chants," a collaboration with Elvin Brandhi and Sara Persico, reveals another room in Ziúr's autobiographical suite. An openness carries the whole record, whether she's crying harsh truths over damaged orchestral scrapes on the album's goth-y title track, or duetting with Manchester's Iceboy Violet on "Through the Trees." On the former, Ziúr's voice soars, echoing hypnotically over unsettling analog distortions and gnarled strings. It's one of the eeriest and most beautiful tracks she's penned, camouflaging its broken electronics with ghostly moans and theatrical punctuations. By inviting in her own demons, Ziúr has been able to write her most personal album. Her relationship with home will always be thorny, but through music, she's been able to create a place to exist that's truly comfortable and protective.

"After his last compelling project together with Chupacabra for our 10 Years Raum compilation, label head Dorian Paic releases his second solo EP on Raum...musik. Support comes from his buddy, the notorious Guillaume Coutu Dumont, who also has released on Raum a few times before. Guillaume turns the title track of this EP into a slowly building and very hypnotic track that is almost 12 minutes long and reaches its peak in the very end of the track. Enjoy!"

"Our next release is from Maayan Nidam also known as Miss Fitz. She already has released two records on raum...musik so this is her third release for our label. Maayan keeps herself quite busy with releases so actually there are no more words necessary to introduce her. Deep house darling Sascha Dive supports her by remixing 'Colici' and so two of our favorite artists deliver a strong release for our 10 year anniversary. Like always we wish you lot of fun!"

With Villalobos mix. "After releasing a record on Raum...Musik in 2006 already together with Shaun Reeves, Maayan Nidam aka Miss Fitz now comes through with her first solo release for our label. Maayan recently has released quite a few records on different labels and has drawn more people's attention towards herself and her music. Even Ricardo Villalobos is a big fan of her work and so he offered to support this release by remixing one of the two featured tracks on this EP. This dreamteam delivers us three stripped down pieces of electronic music that are focused on creating a supertight sound and atmosphere without using a lot of elements. Especially Ricardo's mix will only show its real beauty if being played on a proper soundsystem. We are very happy with this release and we wish you lots of fun!"

"Marek Hemmann returns with his second single. Marek hails from Jena, located in the eastern part of Germany and he is one part of the project Hemmann & Kaden as well as he is part of the Freude am Tanzen collective also based in Jena. 'Lowdown' on the A-side is a ten-minute monster that blends rave appeal with some house elements in a very clever way. The track will always surprise you while listening to it. The two tracks on the B-side are even a bit more house related soundwise and in combination with Marek's supertight grooves, they complete this nice three-track EP."

"Chupacabra is the new project of Arno Völker and Miguel Ayala. They both live in Frankfurt/Main and have been producing music for more then 10 years now. Usually they are more known for their drum & bass productions on the labels Precision and Art of Rollin which they also own. During their work at the Freebase record shop, both have developed a strong passion for house music and so they started releasing in that genre as well. This is their first single for Raum...musik and on the B-side you will also find a remix of Frankfurt-based DJ Federico Molinari, who is also working at Freebase Records -- we are family."

"Salmon, real name Kenji Kikuchi hails from Tokyo, Japan. He has been producing electronic music for some years now and has released records on various local labels. This release on Raum Musik is his first record on a European label. We are more than happy to welcome him as a new member of the Raum Musik family. The four featured tracks on this EP couldn't be any different. Going from minimal techno to deephouse over to some almost downbeat style acid -- Kenji knows them all and expresses his unique character in each style. A very nice debut and we are curious to see what we will hear from this young man in the future."

"Volker Dornhagen hails from Hamburg, Germany and has released some music on Kompakt sublabel Auftrieb. This is his first record on Raum...Musik and he delivers us three excellent pieces of minimal techno music. Although the tempo of all three featured tracks are more house paced, the mood is quite dark and heavy and due to the fact that the tracks are stripped down to the maximum, they become highly functional DJ tools. On the b-side you will find a Dub Kult remix by London's Neilon Pitamber, who shows us his more experimental side this time."

"While a lot of his tracks show his big passion for massive sounds and melodies, his records for us are pointing out another facet of his music. The sounds are more reduced, but always combined with just the right amount of 'rave.' Choosing the titles for his music is another big passion of Dominik and names like 'Die Wildschweinsuhle' (which actually is the place where wild boars come to drink) and 'Mit Wurzelhaar und Tiergesicht,' named after a quotation from famous German actor Klaus Kinski promise quite a lot."

"After the massive success of his recent release on Warp's new sub label Arcola, which was picked by DJ's like Sven Väth, Ricardo Villalobos and Andrew Weatherall all over last year's summer, we are now very proud to enable Dub Kult's first release on a German label. Dub lives in London, his real name is Neilon Pitamber and he works as a DJ since the mid-nineties. His style could be described as edgy deep tech, which also has it's roots in house. The two main songs on this single are called 'On and On' and 'Blue', beside those you find some other short interludes as a special DJ Gimmick. 'On and On' catches the listener with it's twisted, psychedelic vocals, 'Blue' is more crispy, tool based, but always surprises with it's arrangement and builds a good contrast to the a-side."

"Raum..Musik was founded more than five years ago. The first release of the label was a compilation called Raum...Musik Präsentiert #1 to define the label's taste and style. Based somewhere between minimal, house, techno and dub and always open for surprises. The compilation featured tracks by well known artists like for example Rhythm & Sound or Beanfield among new artists based around the owners of the label. One of these artists was D.Diggler with his legendary tune 'Boogie Monster'. His first single 'Love Motel' followed shortly after that. The success of the label quickly increased and so today we can look back on an exclusive artist rooster with acts like D.Diggler, Dub Taylor, Dick Richards just to mention a few, almost 30 singles, 5 albums and now 4 compilations. For it's 5th anniversary the label now presents a small collection of it's biggest moments which only have been released on vinyl until now." Artists: D.Diggler, Dub Taylor, Junkie Sartre, Olavi, Dorian Paic, and Dick Richards.

"D.Diggler is known for his his continuous development of sound quality . With a larger variety in style he is able to even precise his tracks and their sound. On Sounds Fiction D.Diggler is redefining the rather too often heard term 'minimal dub techhouse' -- and gives it a new meaning. Compared to Atomic Dancefloor, where most of the tracks were more tool based, Sounds Fiction has a lot more tunes with a 'classic' song structure, meaning arrangement, single sounds and the melodies. The songs have a lot more variety, but without never loosing the club aspect. Andreas Mügge has used his experiences as a DJ -- worldwide and produced an album where he blends several influences and gives them, his own very special brand. Sounds Fiction is a well developed album -- probably his best so far? "

Second full length album on Raum for Diggler, following up the classic Feel My Heat album. "In 1998 Diggler launched the first production of Raum?musik. His production style is similar to The Modernist, or the Kompakt releases from Cologne. You can also find in nearly every production dub-references like the Basic Channel-Crew in Berlin did. But still he gives his tracks something very unique. It often seems as though he gives his tracks that bit of extra euphoria."
