Artworker EP by Tsubasa Arakawa

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] presents its 68th release: Tsubasa Arakawa – Artworker EP

What happens when the spirit of Tokyo meets the raw, grey edges of Novosibirsk?
You get Artworker EP by Tsubasa Arakawa — a sound architect balancing on the edge of digital utopia and industrial dream. When the last worker leaves the factory, only noise remains in the empty halls. And shadows. Tsubasa Arakawa recorded them. Artworker EP is a chronicle of silence after the process. It’s what happens when the machines fall asleep, and sound stays awake.

Nine chapters of a technical symphony, written in the code of dub mechanics.

::: "Artworker" – an act of creation, a mechanical poem where each sample is calibrated. A chronicle of silence after the process. The sound that remains when the machines shut down.
::: "Kizlyar" – a hypnotic waltz with echoes from the Caucasus, through fog and bass catacombs. A distant junction at the edge of time, where rhythm glides down a dusty road into memory.
::: "Polivoks M" – the synthesizer as narrator, speaking through distortion of an era when technology was analog and emotion direct. Synthesized nostalgia pulsing through old hardware.
::: "Labor Union" – a rhythmic solidarity march, a post-industrial anthem for a city that no longer exists. A sonic poster made of synths and echo, transmitting unity wave by wave.

The remixes? They are alternative edits. Parallel stories.

::: Deepdrome lends Polivoks M a chilling gravity and acidic groove — thoughts melt, the subconscious downloads.
::: Oldschool_Dubtechno .Producer, with a Novosibirsk inflection, reimagines Labor Union as an abandoned plant where echo is the only worker left.
::: Takashi Mori reinterprets Artworker as a digital zen canvas, stripping away the superfluous — leaving only the breath of the music.
::: Wataru Naruse gives Polivoks M a second wind: strict, focused — like a space station adrift in orbit.
::: Soma Kosugi lifts Kizlyar into a storm-lit sky of synthesizer textures, where borders dissolve and rhythm becomes the only compass.

Artworker EP is an engineering album about building worlds from sound. About creating bridges between nations, languages, and vibrations. A manifesto of transnational dub techno — grounded in culture, launched beyond the horizon. An archive. A legacy. Left behind by a sound engineer in an abandoned hangar.

Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Crew.
