Kuba Sojka's "Before Life EP" on Rekids Special Projects (RSPX) starts with "Fundamental Structures," a superb blend of futuristic moods, warped bass, and precision drums with spiritually minded melodies swirling around its lurching groove. "Imago" is then a lithe, colorful cut with bubbling low ends and tripped-out synth motifs next to organic percussion, making for a beautiful mental excursion that journeys into deep space before "Metamorphis" explores ambient-laced drum & bass. Closing out Sojka's "Before Life EP" is the superb "Void of Self," completing this varied EP with an elastic deep house groove topped with dry hits and sugar synth work.

Kuba Sojka is a live performer, musician, and producer who draws on funk, jazz, and soul sounds. He brings an experimental edge to his music and has explored IDM, electro, future jazz, and acid under his Kuba Sojka and Psi-Acoustic projects. He has landed on labels like Mathematics, Matrix Records, International Day Off Records, and Radio Slave's RSPX, on which he released his "Life" EP in April 2024, which won support from Ben Sims, Carista, Laurent Garnier, and Elisa Bee.
