Lepidoptera—the scientific name for butterflies, meaning “scale-winged”—is also the title of the seventh studio album by renowned music producer, bestselling author, ecologist, and knowledge mediator Dominik Eulberg. More than just an album, Lepidoptera is an artistic manifesto: a celebration of butterfly diversity and a profound ecological statement.
Eulberg’s fascination with butterflies began in early childhood and has since become a lifelong passion. Set for release on October 31, 2025, via !K7 Records, Lepidoptera blends his signature sound with an urgent ecological message. It marks the pinnacle of a music career spanning over three decades.
Drawing from years of experience as a producer and DJ, Eulberg presents his most technically ambitious work yet. At the same time, he describes this album as his freest: “I simply made the music as it came out of me—without concern for club suitability or genre boundaries.”
The result is a richly textured and immersive journey that moves fluidly between pulsating, danceable rhythms, ambient soundscapes, and orchestral flourishes. Filmmaker Jan Haft calls it “a dazzling marriage of retro and avant-garde.” Throughout, the album remains unmistakably “Eulbergian,” showcasing an artist who has continuously refined his own distinctive musical language.
At the heart of Lepidoptera are twelve native butterfly species, handpicked by Eulberg from the 3,700 known species in his homeland. Each track is inspired by one species, shaping the album's structure and grounding its creative focus.“Making music is really about choosing from endless possibilities,” Eulberg says. “Without a clear concept, you can easily drown in them.”
To bring authenticity to the project, Eulberg immersed himself in the lives of butterflies—studying their biology, observing them in the wild, and even breeding several species at home alongside his wife, Natalia. He views butterflies as a “poetic metaphor for life,” capable of stirring deep emotional resonance. Each composition musically interprets the behavior and life cycle of its corresponding species.
But Lepidoptera goes far beyond music. Eulberg intends it as a multimedia educational tool, using sound as a gateway to emotional engagement with science and nature. “Music is a joyful, low-barrier tool for sensitization,” he explains. “Science provides facts, but it often only reaches the mind. Emotions touch the soul—they inspire curiosity, wonder, and compassion, the true drivers of change.”
To this end, the album is accompanied by videos (including work from Jan Haft), interactive games, and visual art. The album cover functions as an “educational display,” featuring illustrations by Nikolas Kuhlen depicting all twelve butterfly species across all four life stages: egg, caterpillar, pupa, and imago. “It helps people visualize the miracle of metamorphosis and rekindle their love for nature,” Eulberg says.
Looking ahead, Eulberg is reimagining the traditional release tour. Instead of club performances, he’s planning an educational tour in collaboration with artists and scientists. He will visit environmental education centers, host talks, and offer workshops for both children and adults. The aim: to ignite fascination for local biodiversity and foster a deeper connection to nature. “Happy people who love nature don’t start wars,” he concludes.

“Music for doing things”. That’s the intention Kutiman had for ‘Surface Currents’, his forthcoming album of ambient atmospherics and modular experiments. However, it’s beautiful sounds are deeply calming and refreshing, making this a perfect album to do nothing to, as well.

This deeply textural and ethereal artwork is situated high above the clouds, amidst the heavens, occupying a stratospheric state where swathes of synthesized vapour and azure rays sound like a literal breath of fresh air. Influenced by Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine and William Orbit’s nineties hits, the LP leans towards a song-based sound and exists somewhere between trip hop on Mo' Wax, 90s Warp, intelligent drum & bass and ambient house.
