Vibra Vibra is a new series by Sha Ru, a duo perpetually in nomadic motion, renowned for their deft blend of spoken word and bass-heavy electronics. The release explores musics physical properties, emphasizing low frequencies and their effects on the body and surrounding space.

Vibra Vibra examines how different bass frequencies produce distinct physical responses: 50-60Hz compresses the chest, 20-40Hz resonates in the abdomen and legs, and 60-100Hz generates cranial buzzing. Each track studies these zones, presenting bass as a tangible force shaping both bodily perception and the club environment.
