kibbi gibbon: still dreamin'
Francisco Espregueira
Emerging from the depths of Germany’s Black Forest, a fresh new outfit, Kibbi Gibbon, delivers a Balearic breath of fresh air with their debut release, Still Dreamin’. This isn't the techno-infused sound one might expect from the region; instead, Kibbi Gibbon crafts a unique hybrid of spaced-out jazz-funk and synth-boogie, a sound perfectly aligned with Star Creature’s signature contemplative instrumental funk aesthetic. Picture yourself on the Italian or Portuguese coast, immersed in a late-night soirée in San Sebastian, or lost in the moonlit soundscapes of Falassarna Beach—these are the vibes Still Dreamin’ effortlessly evokes.
This 7” release, limited to 300 copies, is just a taste of what’s to come. As Star Creature label-head Tim Zawada explains, an album is in the works. After showcasing some demos on his radio shows, including the label’s new residency on Ibiza’s OpenLab Radio, the overwhelming influx of track ID requests made it clear: this music needed to be shared. Released just in time for the Spring Equinox, Still Dreamin’ offers a welcome sonic thaw after the winter months. Stay tuned for further updates on the forthcoming LP, as Kibbi Gibbon is poised to make a splash on the scene. This one is available on 7’’ vinyl.
