  • Kubatko – Dál (from upcoming 2018 album)

    It’s been a long time since I put something out (besides Hospital Records). I am happy to present you a song from my upcoming album that I would like to release in early 2018.

    It is now being played on Radio 1 (you can vote for it here).

    The song is sang by me (also wrote the lyrics).

    Lyrics:

    uz nechci cekat
    ja uz chci dal
    asi je to rychle
    posunem se dal

    kry proborim
    ledy prolomim
    tecu jako reka
    more to jsem ja

    milovat to slovo
    neznamena stat
    milovat rec tela
    to znamena dat

    hvezd se zachytim
    nebe proletim
    drz se pevne
    tak to mam rad

  • Playing Tricks feat. Jo Joonhyun on Hospital Records

    Another success for my music is a second track coming out on Hospital Records. Playing Tricks featuring Jo Joonghyun on guitar will be coming out on a “Sick Music 4” compilation.

    Another great thing is that they chose my song as the starter for their mini and cd mix. So if you have a look at this mini-mix by S.P.Y. you can hear my tune right away.

  • Kubatko – Trianglove feat. Jo Joonghyun – Hospital Records

  • Aseul – Wake Up – Kubatko Remix

  • Trianglove feat. Jo Joonghyun on Hospitality in the park 2017 compilation

    I am super happy to announce probably my biggest achievement in my music doing. It’s a track “Trianglove” coming on Hospital Records on the Hospitality In The Park 2017 compilation. Pretty amazed to see this happening especially since Hospital Records shaped my music taste big time after 2002. Big thanks also to Joong Hyun Jo that recorded guitar for the song.

  • Majestical

    My new EP is out (officially on 2nd of March). It contains three original house tunes (a bit more lively though) with two remixes by Twintone from Germany and Primula from Japan. Feel free to grab it for 1 USD on Bandcamp.

  • Tomáš Palucha – Pod Hladinou (Kubatko Remix)

    Remix of my most favorite Czech song of 2016.

    Original song for comparison:

  • Kubatko – Kafalo – out now on Plain&Simple Records

    It doesn’t happen often that I sign up a track at a foreign label. Well it happened this time with “Kafalo”. It’s out now on Dubai based label Plain&Simple. It’s kind of special track with more of a dancefloor vibe. I hope you’ll like it! And also there is remix by Tom Chubb!

  • Twintone – Velocity Life – re-release on Beyond Belief

    You might wonder what is this new release on Beyond Belief – the whole album “Velocity Life” by Twintone. Well, it has a big history behind it. Basically Twintone has been with me musically since I got into drum & bass. He always used the right sounds that I really liked, especially around the liquid funk era of drum & bass. His sound was very original and very under-preciated.

    At around 2003 Twintone was supposed to put out an album on Position Chrome (the label owned by Panacea). I am not sure what went wrong – it was probably that the sound of the album didn’t completely match the label vision. So what happened was that the whole album was free up for grabs for some time. That’s basically when I wrote a review for the album long time ago when I was still a member of the drum & bass group called Shadowbox.

    To cut the long story short – I have been in contact with Twintone for the past few years – exchanging tracks and just doing occasional email conversations. I have always loved the “Velocity Life” album that captures one era of German drum & bass and I felt like it was a shame that it was nowhere to get.

    That is why I offered Twintone to put it out on my label – Beyond Belief. We actually decided to add there several bonus tracks that came from roughly the same era when Velocity Life was made.

    I am super happy to present this release to you. It might not sound special to everyone – as it does not match what’s happening in drum & bass right now but it is special for me and that’s why you can listen to it anywhere right now.

  • Free Range – new mini album!

    After Hexage’s soundtrack for Redcon I finally had some more time for my own music.

    The result is a mini album called “Free Range” that contains 5 tracks – all targeting different genres of electronic music.

    Let me introduce the tracks to you one by one:

    1) Free Range – dubsteppy electronica with guitar parts that were recorded by my South Korean friend Jo Joonghyun. I was browsing through some of my old Reason sketches and found the beat percussions – I thought that they were sounding cool so I took them. Then I heard another older sketch and liked the bassline – took that one out as well. Suddenly I had a deeper vibe going. The rest was just plain amazing. Especially Jo always surprises me with his guitar ideas. So grateful that I met this guy.

    2) Falcon – this is an opposite of “Free Range”, I composed this from a scratch a few weeks back. I really enjoy listening to those evolving filtered beats and pads. Also pitched down vocals and shuffling hit patterns do the trick for me. Pure Deep House track.

    3) Buzzard – another result of me browsing through my old sketches. I found a drum and bass part that I really liked however it was just sounding too fast and too crazy. I took down the tempo to a breaks level and suddenly I was feeling it. It’s got kind of a sci-fi atmosphere that I enjoy.

    4) Swoop – I actually don’t know why it took us ages with Munk (a drum and bass producer from Hungary) to finish it. I have always liked this song that we composed around year 2007. It just never got to go out. So I sat at it and contacted Munk. I just basically cleaned the sound, made new mixdown and edited a few parts that sounded a bit strange. I love the result, powerful song with a few light moments.

    5) Seoul Memory – as the title says, it’s a reminisce of Seoul where I recorded the background sounds used in the song. Their subway makes such amazing futuristic sound (subway and olive n young being my most favorite places during my most recent visit :D). Amazing city, amazing country. Jo again backed me up with his guitar. Thanks Jo! you are my star!
