Anton Kubikov - Tout n’est que fumée (2025)

Berlin, 31 January 2025 - What happens when sound becomes memory? Acclaimed electronic composer and DJ Anton Kubikov answers with Tout nest que fumée (Everything Is Just Smoke), a ten-track about the transience of everything. The album balances between the fleeting and the lasting, showing how music-like smoke-disappears but leaves a subtle trace behind. Everything is just smoke, Kubikov reflects. Life is a constant change, but like fog or vapour, everything disperses and fades and it is possible that everything is insignificant and meaningless, only music is the most important memory. Kubikovs latest work is not abstract, but still dance album that resists definition, taking listeners on a dynamic journey. It begins with deep, introspective tracks with smooth jazzy vibes, shifts into classic house rhythms, then explores funky experimental minimal, and ends with warm, atmospheric trip-hop. Each track is distinct, together they create a deep story of the fight between introvert and extravert, a battle that still remains unanswered. The album unfolds in waves-some tranquil, others intense-mirroring the unpredictability of time itself. I dont speak with words; I speak with sound, Kubikov explains. This album captures moments of chaos and beauty, of fleeting life. Its a way of saying: everything is here, and everything is gone. Created by an artist who works with the ephemeral, Tout nest que fumée vibrates and breathes, leaving an emotional imprint. The music reminds listeners of the fragility of the world, love and memory, leaving only a fading trace. Streaming begins 31 January 2025. Those ready to listen will discover not just an album but an experience: fleeting, profound, and unforgettable.
