Kibbi Gibbon storms the scene with Fragments, a seven-track LP on Star Creature Universal Vibrations that channels pure cosmic energy from the heart of Germany’s Black Forest. Star Creature Universal Vibrations, launched in the early 2010s by Kyle Emblem, has become synonymous with cosmic disco and synth-driven house, fostering a cult following for its limited-edition wax pressed with analog warmth and underground spirit. Fresh from a sold-out 7-inch debut, Kibbi Gibbon delivers an album brimming with DX7, Prophet 8, and Fender-fueled instrumentals that fuse deep house grooves with acid jazz flair, evoking sun-drenched Ibizan escapades and glitchy video game reveries.
Circuits sparks the journey with electric propulsion, setting a tone that’s immediately dancefloor-bound and infused with playful synth lines. Still Dreamin’ glides in next, layering dreamy sequences that pull listeners into a hazy groove perfect for extended sets. Declaration ramps up the intensity, declaring its presence through bold melodic statements that resonate in dimly lit clubs. It’s All Good keeps the momentum with upbeat funk that invites non-stop movement, a staple for DJs digging into house’s joyful core.
Wake Up shakes off any inertia, delivering a wakeful rhythm laced with intricate keys that build to euphoric heights. Try It Out experiments with jazzy undertones over driving beats, offering that experimental edge underground crowds crave. Smooth Velvet crowns the collection, wrapping everything in velvety textures that linger like a perfect afterhours comedown, rich with emotive depth.
Fragments captures Kibbi Gibbon’s determination to blend synth precision with organic feel, creating tracks that thrive in the sweaty embrace of house and disco nights. Limited to just 300 copies on vinyl, this LP stands as a testament to Star Creature’s commitment to quality over quantity. For fans and selectors attuned to the underground’s pulse, Kibbi Gibbon carves out a space that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking, ready to ignite turntables worldwide.
