Kuboraum, the Berlin eyewear house renowned for its uncompromising aesthetic and conceptual rigour, extends its artistic vision into the realm of sound through the establishment of Kuboraum Editions. The inaugural release marks a convergence of music, dance and cultural archaeology that speaks to the label’s broader philosophy of challenging convention and excavating marginalised narratives.
‘Hexentanz’, the second single from electronic artist Ziúr, arrives as part of the forthcoming album ‘De Brujas y Fantasmas’, an original soundtrack created for dancer and choreographer Kianí del Valle’s solo performance. The composition represents a profound meditation on the figure of the witch, drawing its conceptual lineage from Mary Wigman’s revolutionary 1926 work of the same name. Wigman’s ‘Witch Dance’ emerged as a watershed moment in modern movement, and del Valle’s contemporary reinterpretation honours this legacy whilst interrogating the ways in which women’s knowledge and cultural memory have been systematically suppressed and displaced.
Sonically, ‘Hexentanz’ proves a masterclass in textural storytelling. Groaning synthesizers create an unsettling, organic bed from which an unstable, jerking rhythm emerges, the musical equivalent of a body in flux, resistant and defiant. The track mirrors del Valle’s choreographic language, translating corporeal tension into auditory unease. There is an intentionality to its discomfort, a refusal to offer easy resolution or comfort. This is music that demands presence from the listener, that rewards close attention with revelation.
The full album arrives in digital format on November 6, 2026, via Kuboraum Editions, with vinyl and an accompanying booklet following in early 2027. The decision to issue the work across multiple formats and timeframes speaks to the label’s commitment to creating a substantial, immersive artistic statement rather than a fleeting digital artefact. The forthcoming booklet promises to deepen the conceptual dialogue between choreography, music and historical memory.
This venture into music publishing represents a natural evolution for a house that has consistently positioned itself at the intersection of art, fashion and intellectual inquiry. Where Kuboraum’s eyewear functions as a portal through which to view the world, Kuboraum Editions offers a sonic architecture through which to inhabit it. Both endeavours share a singular aesthetic conviction: that luxury resides not in luxury itself, but in the uncompromising pursuit of vision.
