Kolibri Live LP reveals PETRU’s full live-crafted vision: dark, atmospheric techno shaped in real time through instinct and physical performance. Driven by raw energy, precision and contrast, supported by visionary contributors such as Dubfire and .VRIL, and mixed by sonic architect Hannes Bieger, the piece stands as a reminder of the unique energy that comes from human touch, risk and real-time creation.
EP Description
PETRU KSS – Kolibri Live LP
Take your Soul Beyond Gravity.
Kolibri Live LP is the debut album from PETRU KSS – a fully live-crafted techno journey recorded in the wilderness of Corsica and conceived as a voyage into deep, expansive space. Inspired by nature yet aimed at the outer unknown, the album balances physical intensity with cinematic clarity, driven entirely by human performance and real-time musical decisions.
Shaped through pure live performance, the music carries the immediacy and fragility of improvisation. Its energy comes straight from physical interaction, creating rising tension, vivid melodic moments and a pulse that feels alive in the body. The album captures the raw moment of creation and holds its emotional truth.
Kolibri Live LP stands at the intersection of techno with raw elements, progressive evolution and atmospheric depth. It moves through hypnotic patterns, luminous motifs, acid-tinged currents and wide spatial textures, blending contrast and flow into a cohesive arc. Dancefloor-oriented yet narrative-driven, the Kolibri journey is dark in tone yet open and expansive in feeling. Its identity is unmistakably its own – a system of tension, clarity and forward momentum.
Mixed with Hannes Bieger’s trademark depth and dimension and mastered at Calyx with meticulous precision, the album reflects a commitment to craft at every stage. More than a collection of tracks, Kolibri Live LP is a statement of intention: a human, expressive, risk-embracing approach to live techno, shaped directly by its environment and carried into space through sound.
Kolibri Live LP – Out 6 March 2026 via Kolibri Space Shuttle Records.

Artist Bio – PETRU KSS
PETRU is a Corsican-born producer and live performer with a love for bold, driving techno and storytelling. Blending rhythmic precision with a strong sense of narrative and contrast, his music evokes both physical intensity and cinematic depth.
Rooted in hands-on, expressive, hardware-centric production, PETRU was awarded the Richie Hawtin PhD Scholarship in Electronic Music for his ongoing research project THRiPPS – Techno, Hardware-centric, Real-time, Improvisation, Production and Performance Study, which explores live, improvisational performance practices.
After drawing attention with his debut KSS EP and then Mediocracy on Kolibri Space Shuttle Records, PETRU released Mirage and Drifting Embers on long-standing UK label City Wall Records. His well-received EPs featured remixes from established producers such as Alexander Kowalski and Developer. His debut album, Kolibri Live LP, marks an important milestone: a cinematic and immersive voyage from nature to space, recorded live in the wilderness of Corsica, with growing support from respected figures across the scene.
