# EB Premiere: Kyoka – Is (Is Superpowered)
Allow us to introduce Kyoka's debut record Is (Is
Superpowered). The Japanese-born Berlin resident's name has been on
our radar for a while thanks to releases on Onpa and [Raster-Noton][1]{:
target="_blank"}. Up to now, her most notable release was probably
2012's glitched-out *Ish* EP, but this full-length kicks things up a
gear. Exploded textures and snatches of vocals are press ganged into
the service of industrialized techno, bunker-proofed abstraction
and---at least once---processed dancehall. Rather surprisingly, she's
the first female artist to release a solo record on the Chemnitz-based
label. Be the first to hear the album via this exclusive stream.
Kyoka's Is (Is Superpowered) *is out on May 5th on
[Raster-Noton][2]{: target="_blank"}.*
