Corsican-born producer and live performer PETRU KSS has released his debut album ‘Kolibri Live LP’, out now via his own imprint Kolibri Space Shuttle Records.
Captured during a live recording session deep in the Corsican wilderness, the 11 track project presents a raw, hardware driven performance forged through real time improvisation. The album embraces the unpredictability of live electronic music, where instinct, physical interaction and spontaneous decision making shape the sound as it unfolds.
Moving between driving techno propulsion and expansive atmospheric moments, Kolibri Live LP unfolds as a narrative journey that gradually travels from grounded, organic textures toward more cosmic sonic territories. Hypnotic rhythmic structures, evolving melodic fragments and acid-tinged sequences flow throughout the record, giving the album both dancefloor impact and cinematic depth.
The project was mixed by renowned producer and engineer Hannes Bieger, whose signature sense of depth and sonic dimension brings cohesion to the live recordings while preserving their immediacy and raw energy. Mastering was completed at Calyx, ensuring clarity and precision across the album’s dynamic range. Early support for the project has come from leading electronic artists including Richie Hawtin, John Digweed and Sasha. The wider Kolibri universe will continue to expand throughout 2026 with a series of remixes from Dubfire, .VRIL, Kaiser, Saytek and other producers connected to the project.
Alongside his artistic work, PETRU KSS is also the recipient of the Richie Hawtin PhD Scholarship in Electronic Music. His research centres on THRiPPS, Techno, Hardware centric, Real time, Improvisation, Production and Performance Study. An ongoing exploration of live electronic music performance that forms the conceptual backbone of the album.
More than a traditional studio release, Kolibri Live LP captures a moment of creation in motion, where environment, technology and human intuition converge to produce an immersive journey through sound.
Kolibri Live LP is out now via Kolibri Space Shuttle Records.
