About Liber Kaos
Liber Kaos is a breakcore, memecore, and hardcore music collective based in Zurich, Switzerland. Founded by producer Yashin, the project sits at the intersection of high-speed breakbeat production, internet culture, and irreverent humor.
Yashin began as a psytrance producer before transitioning to breakcore, bringing a background in psychedelic sound design to the genre's chaotic rhythmic vocabulary. The shift resulted in a style that blends jungle and breakcore's technical demands with the absurdist energy of online culture — what would eventually be called memecore.
In 2024, Liber Kaos released three albums in rapid succession: the debut solo album Yashin – ï in April, the mixtape Kaostape: Liber Kaos – Vol. 1 in July, and the full-length LIBER NEX in December. The output spans breakcore, jungle, memecore, and experimental electronics, ranging from dancefloor-oriented tracks to compositionally complex pieces that draw from free jazz, dancehall, and noise.
Liber Kaos is known for live memecore improvisations — performances built from real-time sampling, chaotic layering, and audience interaction. The collective also operates breakcore.info, the definitive online resource for breakcore music.
