SOUNDQ

SOUNDQ (short for Soundquake) is the alias of Kuba Kubica - a dizzyingly-innovative indie dance / melodic house techno producer-vocalist from Krakow, Poland. Kubica’s writing is characteristically Eastern European: clearer-eyed and more honest about the exigencies of life than Western electronic music tends to be. Among other things, his songs explore the dynamics of interpersonal struggle, the vagaries and cruelties of fate, power imbalances, and the destabilization that comes from living between worlds. He’s matched that heady sentiment to electronic music that’s absolutely singular – music that draws from house, and bass, and old-school trance, and even contemporary pop, but which simply doesn’t sound like anything else. It's underground, catchy, danceable, and propulsive.
