Saytek, Ømen, Ross Harper, Alinep & Mica Join PETRU KSS For Final Kolibri Live Instalment

As PETRU KSS brings his ambitious Kolibri Live series to a close, the final instalment arrives not simply as another remix package, but as the concluding chapter to a project rooted in live improvisation, emotional storytelling and hardware-driven experimentation. Kolibri Live Part 6 gathers a carefully selected cast of artists; Saytek, Ross Harper, Ømen, Alinep and Mica to reinterpret key moments from the LP while reinforcing the cinematic universe PETRU KSS has steadily built across the series.

First introduced as a live-recorded voyage captured in the wilderness of Corsica, Kolibri Live has evolved into one of the producer’s most immersive and fully realised projects to date. Blending raw techno functionality with science-fiction inspired narrative arcs, the album previously reached Beatport’s Top 10 in both the Raw / Deep / Hypnotic and Electronica charts, while surpassing 100,000 Spotify streams across the wider project. Tracks and remixes from artists including Hannes Bieger have continued to build momentum, with Bieger’s contribution alone passing 20,000 plays within a month.

Part 6 pushes deeper into the project’s core themes: tension, improvisation, physicality and release. Manchester-based Mica joins forces with Manila-born producer Alinep for a hypnotic, acid-tinged reinterpretation of Liminal Orbit, while Ømen transforms the same track into a peak-time Schranz weapon designed for maximum dancefloor impact. Elsewhere, Brighton’s Ross Harper strips Tuplet Puppet down into crushing industrial repetition, balancing pressure with emotional intensity.

At the centre of the release sits Saytek’s remix of Tuplet Puppet, a collaboration that feels particularly natural given the shared philosophies between both artists. Known for his fully improvised live performances and deeply hardware-centric approach, Saytek channels raw Detroit-inspired energy into the remix while preserving the unpredictability that defines his productions.

“Petru is a great friend and we have raved a lot together,” Saytek explains. “He is also a great producer so when he sent me this track I was immediately drawn to the polymeric sequences. I used these to build a whole track around, distorted drums, layered grooves, sequenced piano sample and vocal chops, but the thing that really pushes the remix is keeping the delay feedback from the edge of overload and automating it throughout the track, teasing over saturation and complete meltdown.”

For PETRU KSS, the collaboration represents both a personal and artistic full-circle moment. Having previously spoken about the importance of spontaneity and risk within live electronic music, Saytek’s contribution became a natural extension of the wider Kolibri ethos.

“Saytek's music is what attracted me to reach out, years ago, I stayed for the friendship and the ongoing inspiration,” PETRU KSS says. “It's heartwarming to see talented, genuine and down-to-earth people like Joseph succeed nowadays. Building up on Kolibri Live remixes, I immediately thought of him and offered the choice of which track to remix. No creative direction given: carte blanche, and he did not disappoint.”

“The result is a Detroit techno chord-y remix that I already played at clubs like Sisyphos: people went mad. Absolute chaos!”

The release also carries an unintentionally strong UK thread running throughout it. Every remixer featured on Part 6 is currently based in the UK, resulting in a final chapter that reflects multiple shades of contemporary British underground techno culture, from hypnotic minimal grooves and industrial pressure to rave-infused Schranz and Detroit-inspired live jams.

In many ways, Kolibri Live Part 6 encapsulates the philosophy PETRU KSS outlined during the project’s earlier stages: techno as a living, breathing performance medium rather than a perfectly polished product. Across six instalments, the series has consistently celebrated imperfection, improvisation and emotional storytelling, values increasingly rare within algorithmically optimised electronic music culture.

With its final chapter, Kolibri Live leaves behind not just a collection of tracks, but a fully realised artistic universe built through risk, friendship and the unpredictable energy of machines pushed to their limits.
