During the last three years a new name has been making waves at Ostgut Ton and Berghain: Berlin born, raised and based producer Kobosil made his debut with a remix of Barker & Baumecker's "Silo" (Ostgut Ton, 2013), completely unknown at the time, he has quickly earned his stripes as a DJ on the club's main floor, eventually becoming a resident at Berghain. Following up on five subsequent 12" releases and Kobosil's first live sets, his debut album sees him covering yet new ground in the form of a full length release.We Grow, You Decline adds new aesthetics to the Berliner's production style by conveying a certain darkness and distance while keeping some easy and gentle touch. Underneath the delicate, crackling surface of songs such as "When I Speak" and the aforementioned "To See Land" there are distant voices to be heard, while they're more prominently featured in the throbbing, atmospheric "Eihwaz" and the robotic pulse of "You Answered With Love", the human element is kept restrained and unfathomable inside some tense moods. With "They Looked On" Kobosil unchains the listener during the over eight-minute-spanning, culminating last track and the hovering suspense that is prevalent throughout the album is dispersed into a warm, hazy horizon.

Kobosil offers four new tracks on his debut EP release for Ostgut Ton. Following up on his latest remix of Terence Fixmer's "Aktion Mekanik Theme" (Ostgut Ton, 2015) the 24-year-old from Berlin is back with four carefully crafted tracks for his first regular release on Ostgut Ton. 91 sees Kobosil focussing on a more steady musical approach by presenting tracks with a similar vibe and muscular impression rather than a varied selection of styles and aesthetics: the hypnotic synth pulse and bewitching strings of "Avernian" sit atop of a ripped, dark four-to-the-floor beat; "Konvergent" features a double kickdrum all the way with lush claps and a vocal bent beyond recognition; "Per" comes with an overall unfussy feel and a dry steam hammer drum. Only the interlude "Athtar" takes on a completely different direction with Drone sounds, Noise speckles and deep black, heavily processed vocal samples. With just a handful of records released in two short years, it may already seem as if Kobosil has defined his creative base as a versatile DJ and producer with a clear accent on dark Techno derivates as well as a soft spot for Noise, Industrial and Ambient textures. The overall tone may be set, but there's way more to come – his debut album will be released on Ostgut Ton in Januar 2016
