Press Info:
‘Paired Works’ is a double EP by Justine Perry and Paula Koski, developed in parallel within the same time and environment. Evolving through years of shared surroundings and creative exchange, the record emerges as a natural extension of that connection.

Produced separately, the tracks reflect two inner worlds shaped in close orbit. Justine Perry leans into deep, hypnotic forms, unfolding in layered, kaleidoscopic patterns, while Paula Koski navigates dubby and spacious structures, letting texture and tension take the lead.

Justine Perry is known for her fast-paced, deep and hypnotic sound. Her productions combine trippy, evolving structures with a strong sense of propulsion, with releases spanning labels such as Dynamic Reflection and X/Y/Secret. The Finnish-born, Berlin-based Paula Koski works in the space between hypnotic and driving techno with previous releases on Soma Records and On Board Music. Her contribution to ‘Paired Works’ moves through spacious tension, dub-inflected weight and stripped-back detail.

Across four sides, ‘Paired Works’ moves between focused, forward-driving passages and more suspended, atmospheric moments, creating a subtle yet persistent push and pull. Rather than attaching itself to one singular moment on the dancefloor, the record draws a wider arc — stripped-back, bleepy openings, heavier immersive zones and high-pressure peaks. It stretches across the shifting phases of a long club night without settling into just one.

On the A side, Justine sets the tone with dreamy, fluid constructions that gradually lock into rhythm. The B side sees Paula deepen the space, stretching time through dub-inflected weight and detail. By the C side, the energy sharpens into driving, high-impact techno. The D side closes the journey on a more suspended note, paced steadily and shaped through spacious tension and subtle melodic detail, suited for the slower drift of morning hours on the floor.

The abstract and textured artwork by Antoine Paikert (Esquive Studio) further extends the record’s atmosphere visually. The French-born multidisciplinary artist’s work draws from subtle and often overlooked human emotion.

Timeless and focused in its approach, ‘Paired Works’ marks the debut release on Ostgut Ton for both artists. ‘Paired Works’ will be released on 24 July 2026 via Ostgut Ton.
