Gonubie (aka dj raresoftware) has announced her debut album, ‘Signals At Both Ears’, and shared the first single. Listen to ‘Cuvier’s’ below.

Arriving on 6th September via Métron Records’ sub label Small Méasures, the 8-track album marks the South African musician’s producer debut, having previously DJed under the raresoftware moniker.

Revealing the project on Instagram, she shared: “dawn of Gonubie!! something has been in the making for a couple months now and it’s a literal dream come true! so so excited to announce that my music will be shared with the world by Small Measures of @metronrecords, a label I deeply admire.”

Whilst her work behind the decks leans towards underground dance music, ‘Signals At Both Ears’ explores Gonubie’s newfound love of ambient music, featuring synthesisers, percussive sounds, and expansive chords “combined organically through a process akin to painting.”

Elaborating on the sound, she said: “It is the spatial nature of sound through both its structural layering of components and its ability to craft the feeling of space intangibly that I carry with me in both music making and sharing.”

Profits from physical album sales will be donated to Bridges for Music, South Africa, a non profit organisation focused on empowering young talent from under-served communities.

‘Signals At Both Ears’ is available for pre-order here. Listen to ‘Cuvier’s’ below.
