Take your Soul Beyond Gravity ✨
Kolibri Live Part 6 marks the final chapter of the Kolibri Live series, bringing the journey to its closing phase with a focused set of reinterpretations and original material. Centred around Liminal Orbit and Tuplet Puppet, this last transmission explores tension, contrast and club intensity, while preserving the project’s live, hardware-driven essence.
Remix contest winners Alinep & Mica deliver a hypnotic and focused rework of Liminal Orbit, built on gritty textures and subtle acid tension. Ømen pushes the track into peak-time territory with a hard-edged, Schranz-driven reinterpretation, balancing raw impact with melodic uplift. Saytek injects a live, Detroit-influenced groove onto Tuplet Puppet with chord-driven movement, retaining a strong live feel and spontaneous energy. Ross Harper transforms the piece into a crushing, industrial reinterpretation built on repetition and intensity.
The EP closes with beatless versions of Genesis and Landing, stripped of any cyclic or rhythmic elements, offering a final ambient descent and resolution to the Kolibri voyage. Kolibri Live Part 6 stands as the closing sequence of the project, bridging introspection, club functionality and narrative completion across space and sound.

PETRU KSS
Corsican-born producer and live performer, PETRU thrives with bold, driving techno and storytelling. Blending rhythmic precision with a strong sense of narrative and contrast, his music evokes both physical intensity and cinematic depth.
Rooted in hands-on, expressive, hardware-centric production, PETRU was awarded the Richie Hawtin PhD Scholarship in Electronic Music for his ongoing research project THRiPPS – Techno, Hardware-centric, Real-time, Improvisation, Production and Performance Study, which explores live, improvisational performance practices.
After drawing attention with his debut KSS EP and then Mediocracy on Kolibri Space Shuttle Records, PETRU released Mirage and Drifting Embers on long-standing UK label City Wall Records. His well-received EPs featured remixes from established producers such as Alexander Kowalski and Developer. His critically acclaimed debut album, Kolibri Live LP, marks an important milestone: a cinematic and immersive voyage from nature to space, recorded live in the wilderness of Corsica, with growing support from respected figures across the scene.
SAYTEK
UK live act Saytek has carved out a singular path over the past two decades, known for his fully improvised, hardware-driven performances that fuse deep techno, tough house, dub and acid into evolving, one-take journeys. Every track is performed and recorded live without post-production – a process that has earned him critical acclaim, millions of views, and the admiration of peers across the scene.
His discography spans over 500 releases and nine albums on respected labels such as Soma, Fabric, Bedrock, Cubism, RAW Industries Berlin, KMS and Carl Cox’s Awesome Soundwave. His live jam albums have consistently topped DJ charts and won praise from the likes of Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, Nicole Moudaber and B.Traits. In clubs and festivals, Saytek’s dynamic setup has taken him from the terrace of Space Ibiza to Tresor Berlin, Fabric London, Mysteryland and Awakenings, with a relentless tour schedule that reflects his deep connection to the dancefloor.
Behind the decks, Joseph Keevill’s journey has also been personal. Open about his recovery, neurodivergence and battles with mental health, Saytek brings not just skill but authenticity, resilience and soul into his live sets – channeling both human vulnerability and machine precision.
In 2026, Saytek delivers a fierce and hypnotic remix for PETRU KSS’s track Tuplet Puppet, celebrating a shared vision of hardware-led, performance-driven techno.
Ømen
French-Italian DJ and producer Ømen, based in the UK, is co-founder of London label MASS and known for his emotionally charged, high-intensity techno sets.
Operating at the intersection of raw techno, rave and industrial sounds, he blends distorted percussion, driving acid and trance-infused elements into powerful, tension-driven journeys.
His releases span labels such as MÄRKED, COUP, Insane Industry, Expel Your Demons and MASS, while his performances have taken him to clubs including E1 London, Nexus Paris and venues across Europe and beyond.
Alongside his productions, Ømen has shared line-ups with artists including Charlie Sparks, Parrish Smith, Jan Vercauteren and D. Carbone, continuing to build a strong presence in the underground techno scene.
As one of the Kolibri remix contest winners in 2026, he joins PETRU KSS’s project with a hard-edged, Schranz-driven reinterpretation of Liminal Orbit on Kolibri Space Shuttle Records.
Ross Harper
Brighton-based UK artist Ross Harper blends deep techno, ambient and experimental sensibilities into a sound both expansive and personal. Founder of City Wall Records and resident at South London’s AAJA, Harper’s roots are in the 90s London club, rave and techno scene, where he heard seminal DJs and acts such as Jeff Mills, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Dave Clarke, Orbital, The Prodigy, and DJ Bone.
His Ambient Girl series gained praise from Kiss FM’s Ben Malone, Cici and Lemonella, with In Your Eyes zine calling it a “strong contender for electronic album of the year.” Earlier works earned support from Laurent Garnier, Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), and BBC Radio 6’s Nemone.
With a background as an event promoter, DJ and A&R, Harper eventually stepped back from the scene to focus on developing his own identity and unique sound. As an A&R, he has signed tracks that have featured in Boiler Room sets, including SNTS at Kompass and Ancient Methods in Berlin, and his evolving catalogue continues to blur genre lines while staying true to a deep, introspective core.
In 2026, Ross Harper delivers a crushing, industrial reinterpretation of Tuplet Puppet for PETRU KSS on Kolibri Space Shuttle Records.
Alinep
Manila-born and now based in the UK, Alinep (Ali Nepomuceno) is known for his hypnotic, driving techno, shaped by a journey from Southeast Asia’s club circuit to Europe’s underground scene. From residencies in Manila to festivals such as World DJ Festival and Epizode, his sound reflects both global influence and a distinct identity.
Blending deep basslines with intricate sampling and evolving textures, he crafts immersive, dream-like journeys rooted in acid, jazz and experimental electronics.
His discography includes releases on labels such as SCI+TEC, Diffuse Reality, Sleaze Records and Hydrozoo, with his 2025 SCI+TEC EP highlighted by Mixmag as a “masterclass”. Supported by artists including Richie Hawtin, Dubfire and Nicole Moudaber, Alinep continues to build momentum across the global techno scene.
In 2026, he joins Mica to reinterpret PETRU KSS’s Liminal Orbit through a pure techno cut with a hypnotic, tension-driven edge.
Mica [UK]
Manchester-based Mica is part of a new wave emerging from the UK’s minimal and deep house scene, known for groove-led, micro house-influenced sounds.
Blending light and dark textures with subtle disco influences, she crafts a distinctive, minimal-leaning style rooted in rhythm and detail.
Her catalogue includes releases on labels such as Bondage Music, Oblivium, Vandalism Musique and Piston Recordings, with support from BBC Radio Manchester and BBC Radio 1’s Introducing Dance.
On the performance front, she has appeared at festivals including Parklife, We Out Here and Highest Point, alongside regular appearances in underground venues across the UK. She also runs her Minimal Impulse vinyl night and hosts a residency on Reform Radio.
In 2026, she joins Alinep with a hypnotic, tension-driven reinterpretation of Liminal Orbit on Kolibri Space Shuttle Records.
