Emerging from the cultural mosaic of London, Broken Spaceship is the creative union of two distinct yet complementary artistic forces: Joserra, better known as Chamy the Chameleon, and Ultra_Eko. Their sound defies easy categorization, weaving together post-punk grit, poetic storytelling, hip-hop rhythm, indie sensibility, and electronic precision into something entirely their own. Joserra’s career has been one of relentless evolution. He has lived and worked on nearly every side of the music industry, musician, DJ, promoter, tour manager, booking agent, stage manager, and label owner, each role sharpening his understanding of the art and the machinery behind it. His electronic alter ego, THC Chameleons, explores the harder, more hypnotic edges of techno, while his project Biota blends wild animal sounds with electronic music in a bold intersection of nature and technology.
Ultra_Eko, by contrast, approaches music through the lens of an audiovisual craftsman. As a hip-hop artist deeply influenced by the visual language of early ’90s cult cinema, his work thrives on atmosphere, tone, and pacing. For him, a song is not just a piece of music, it’s a moving picture, a sequence of frames built from sound. Together, they form Broken Spaceship, a debut act whose very name hints at beauty found in imperfection, and whose music feels like a transmission from somewhere between the streetlight and the shadows. Released on August 1, 2025, “A Part With Some Significance” marks Broken Spaceship’s first official landing, a debut that feels less like an introduction and more like the unveiling of a fully formed vision. Across its carefully sculpted soundscapes, the EP moves with the precision of a filmmaker and the instinct of a poet, each track an environment rather than just a song. Here, post-punk minimalism collides with the measured flow of hip-hop and the icy textures of electronic music, creating a mood that is both intimate and cinematic. It’s a record built on tension and restraint, on knowing exactly when to speak and when to leave silence hanging in the air.
A Part With Some Significance EP Track List:
Dreams:
“Dreams” by Broken Spaceship opens “A Part With Some Significance” with a gripping intensity that instantly sets the EP’s mood and artistic identity. From the first beat, the track projects a sense of urgency, not the chaotic kind, but a calculated, razor-sharp tension that feels like a steady gaze fixed on its target. The vocal delivery blurs the line between rap and spoken word, delivered with an unwavering cadence that feels almost conspiratorial in tone. Lyrically, it’s packed with vivid imagery, the kind that plants scenes in the listener’s mind as if you’re watching a noir-style short film unfold in sound. This combination of narrative richness and commanding delivery creates an atmosphere where you’re not just hearing a track, you’re being drawn into its world. The intensity doesn’t waver for a second, as the verses push forward with relentless momentum, locking you into its thematic grip from the start.
The instrumentation on “Dreams” is as much a storyteller as the vocals. At its core is a taut, minimal beat with a punchy kick and snare pattern that drives the track like a heartbeat under pressure. A deep, rounded bassline rolls beneath, anchoring the rhythm while adding a subtle sense of weight and darkness. Sparse yet intentional synth stabs emerge at calculated moments, their cold, metallic textures adding to the track’s urban-industrial edge. The background is never cluttered, instead, each element has space to breathe, giving the mix a stark clarity that amplifies the emotional punch of the words. There’s also a layer of atmospheric hum, almost like an electrical buzz, that runs quietly behind the rhythm, feeding into the underlying tension. The restraint in the arrangement means that when instrumental flourishes appear, a brief echo tail on a snare, a sudden shift in synth tone, they hit with amplified impact, shaping the mood without disrupting the track’s hypnotic focus.
What makes “Dreams” so effective is the way it balances its lyrical urgency with musical precision. The percussion is tight and deliberate, locking in step with the vocal rhythm, while the bass provides both physical weight and emotional grounding. The production doesn’t seek to overwhelm with layers; instead, it operates with surgical placement, where every sound exists to serve the atmosphere and narrative. This careful design allows the vocal to sit front-and-center, commanding attention, while the instrumental bed subtly shifts in color to mirror the progression of the verses. It’s a track that thrives on tension, minimalism, and mood, never giving you more than you need, yet leaving you with the feeling that you’ve been immersed in something expansive. As an opener, it’s both a statement of intent and an invitation to step deeper into Broken Spaceship’s shadow-lit, genre-bending world.
Ghosts:
“Ghosts” by Broken Spaceship takes the baton from the urgency of “Dreams” and steers the EP into a darker, more atmospheric territory that feels both haunting and immersive. From the moment the track begins, there’s an immediate shift in tone, a cooler, more calculated soundscape that trades verbal onslaught for a slow-burning sense of unease. The rhythm is deliberate, with a steady, mechanical pulse that feels as though it’s keeping time in some shadowy, neon-lit back alley. The vocals, while still grounded in a rap-like cadence, feel more spacious here, with pauses and drawn-out syllables that let the instrumental breathe and seep into the listener’s consciousness. Thematically, “Ghosts” carries a sense of lingering presence and invisible weight, as though it’s speaking to something, or someone, that still exists in echoes rather than flesh. It’s this combination of lyrical subtlety and patient pacing that allows the track to feel less like a linear narrative and more like an evolving mood piece.
The instrumentation in “Ghosts” is where its identity truly crystallizes. Anchored in an industrial-fused ’80s electronica aesthetic, the track’s production makes heavy use of cold, metallic synth tones, minimalistic drum programming, and atmospheric textures that swirl just beneath the surface. The percussion isn’t overly complex, but every hit carries weight, with crisp snares and a dry, almost machine-like kick pattern that reinforces the industrial influence. The synth work is deliberate, short, stabbing notes contrast with long, droning pads that stretch across the stereo field, creating a sense of space and distance. The bassline is subdued but present, moving in subtle pulses rather than dominating the mix, which leaves room for the higher-frequency details to shimmer and hiss like static in the background. There are moments where the arrangement feels stripped to its bare bones, only for a new electronic texture or faint percussive tick to creep in, giving the impression that the track is constantly morphing, even if the changes are slight.
What makes “Ghosts” so compelling is its ability to sustain tension without ever needing to raise its voice. The minimalism works in its favor, turning every sound, from the faint echo on the hi-hats to the lingering decay of a synth note, into a part of the storytelling. The track thrives on atmosphere, creating a sonic environment that feels at once empty and claustrophobic, as though the listener is walking through abandoned corridors lit only by flickering fluorescent lights. Vocally, the performance mirrors this environment, calculated, slightly detached, yet carrying an underlying sense of quiet intensity, as if speaking to something just out of reach. It’s a piece that rewards close listening, revealing small details with every replay, and it sits in perfect contrast to the EP’s opener by slowing the pace but deepening the mood. “Ghosts” isn’t just a track to hear; it’s a track to inhabit, and in doing so, it deepens the shadowy narrative arc that “A Part With Some Significance” sets in motion.
A Part With Some Significance immerses listeners in tension, cinematic storytelling, and genre-blending precision, creating a haunting, unforgettable musical journey.
With “A Part With Some Significance”, Broken Spaceship have delivered a debut that feels both meticulously crafted and emotionally instinctive, a rare balance that speaks to the depth of their combined artistry. Every track is purposeful, every sonic choice deliberate, resulting in an immersive listening experience that blurs the lines between music, poetry, and cinema. It’s an EP that thrives on atmosphere and precision, pulling the listener into a world where silence is as important as sound, and every note carries weight. This is not background noise; it is a work that demands, and rewards, your full attention. For listeners drawn to the intersection of post-punk tension, hip-hop cadence, and atmospheric electronica, this release is a must-hear, offering a mood-rich journey that lingers long after the final note fades, and setting a confident tone for whatever Broken Spaceship chooses to explore next.
