The ninth release of katharsis is the EP “Journey Before Destination” by @jjjacob, which is the first full release of the label founder on his own label. The EP spans six tracks and is quite a deviation in sound from his earlier releases on labels such as ANBA, high heal and Sweat Taste. Taking a step away from his usual tools of heavily automated synths and complex midi-based melodies, this EP focuses closely on recordings of acoustic instruments and vocals done by jjjacob himself throughout the pandemic year.

The Chainsmokers - Don't Let Me Down (Neil Remix)

Abîme co-founders Ytem and Chams unites for a split EP, Abîmés, composed of one solo track each and their first official collaboration, ‘VVM’. 

The latter subtly combines Ytem's cellos with the piano and vocals of Chams, all bound together by the industrial drums they share a common interest for.

The first track of the EP, Chams’ ‘Fou allié’, is at the same time a continuation and a rupture with his last release. As he continues to explore the vocal side of his music, he adopts a way more straightforward approach that makes ‘Fou allié’ what could be called an anthem, layering his performance on top of an emotional vocal sample.

On his solo track ‘Torsion’, Ytem is showcasing his ability to brilliantly arrange cellos, in a complex structure that somehow manages to appears fluid and consistent despite the constant evolution that the piece undergoes.

Chams - Fou Allié

Under the heat of a blazing sun, French producers DEEjAY f and GRIG merge as one to open a sonic portal. In Dune Tune, lush instruments and airy soundscapes counter-balance the weight of a growling bass to unveil a soothing anomaly, an oasis from another world in an arid expanse.

SEED singles are individual tracks that are the result of a spontaneous association between two or more members of the Global URL Nation.

Emerging from the cross-pollination happening among the GUN community, they recombine musical genres and cultural backgrounds into a variety of sounds, producing new breeds and species in the landscape of electronic music. They blossom along the trail of the CLMxGUN journey, providing unique delicacies and brief satisfactions to be picked up and enjoyed in the moment.

Today, we’d like to offer you the last track premiere just before the so longed summer break. On the spotlight is MARTYYNA, a producer / DJ born and currently based in Prague, affiliated with the Blazing Bullets DJs collective, co-founder of the Illegal Taipei research hub and of the cutting-edge KSK events series in the Czech capital. Her debut EP, titled Awaken and developed around the deployment and dissection of traditional Asian instruments such as guzheng and erhu, will see the light on August 10th on the local BCAA system platform.

Already appeared on outcomes such as Eco Futurism Corporation, Unizone, ANBA, and others more with multilayered, textured gems of glitchy ambiance, rusty percussions, and dim melodies, her intimate approach to composition is enriched for the occasion by the use of her own vocals, appearing throughout all the record as the leading component together with the aforementioned deconstruction of string instruments.

In particular, MARTYYNA’s peculiar drive comes from her background as architecture/urbanism professional which led her to spend several years in Taiwan and other far-East regions researching local, illegal, and unofficial housing and the economic forces at play. Her creative outings are somehow suspended between a sense of tidiness and order and the unrestrained desire to create living, breathing sonic entities. The two components show up in a tense exchange where none of the sides prevail, enhancing each other instead.

Mastered by Dominik Gajarský, the EP comes with a neu-grunge cover by Igor Lorok, a visual artist and DJ based in Prague. Also involved with the KSK crew as the author of its graphic identity, his artwork for the EP is the fruit of a close relationship with the producer that brought them working together around the album concept.

As the title suggests, Awaken is a largely experimental work composed of five pieces that are focused on affirmation, inner discovery, acceptance of all the experiences – both painful and cheering – life throws our way, and how we manage to react and embrace them. In the words of Adela Sobotkova aka NEW MAGIC MEDIA, MARTYYNA’s musical approach “works with honestly admitted chaos, positively welcomed coincidence”.

We’re honored to share with you the eponymous album track, the keystone to understanding the whole EP concept, style, and motivations. As strongly introspective as any of the other four pieces, Awaken reminisces about the toxicity of sorrow and the cathartic power of pain, while affirming the courage of vulnerability and the will to manifest ourselves with no refrains. From a musical point of view, the track combines dreamy atmospheres, somber yet steady percussive elements, and layered vocal lines chanting wholehearted lyrics. “When you allow yourself to live your truth and also speak it without fear, then comes the liberating awareness that what doesn’t kill you will actually make you stronger”. Enjoy!

ASJ announces “集體模像 DUPLICATE COGNIZANCE”, following her debut album “The Road to Become One” in 2018. “集體模像 DUPLICATE COGNIZANCE” depicts ASJ’s accumulated layers of inhabited ideas that shapes the fabric of what she perceived. 

It is a concept of the mind, a depiction of the higher force beyond the physical with constant changes. The expression between the place of dreams and reality. Hence, finding balance in the chaotic state of mind.

Cognizance, knowledge and awareness deeply dwell in the subconscious, that created ‘the personality’ on three aspects, physically, emotionally & mentally. 

With vivacious drums & sonic pattern combining with distinctive musical structure. Putting together her introspection about various moments in her journey and the concept of the powerful mind, she transforms the intangible into tangible. From vocally to sonically propel into musical pieces in a robust manner. 

ASJ wants her composition to act as a motivator that guides the audience to an emotional and reinvigorating journey.

The major single “清醒夢 LUCID SATORI” is about the curious encounter ASJ had in a memorable awakening dream. It is a trigger of emotional and physical awareness that awakened her learning experience. Facing her fears in a lucid dream of not enable to wake up remind her to take control of one-self and let go of control and manipulation. 

The LP summarises with the second single “闡示曲 DISCLOSURE”- a candid reminder of self that prompts ASJ of the importance of honoring our presence and appreciating our own existence. 

The awakening experiences of ASJ gave her a significant meaning in “闡示曲 DISCLOSURE”, guiding her to believe in herself again and thus coming close to her true identity, which is symbolic of a significant shift to her reality that the song trying to disclose.

Lyrics:
我想到一個對自己的承諾
今身經歷過 我會記著
就知道 你知道嗎
我知道
我愛着我

*快樂旋渦中
差點就錯過了我
傳呼聲響透
一夜喚醒我 衝動

當思想在懦動 在不眠的夜中
身體在晃動 身邊在懦動

快要消失了 快要忘記了
看不見自己了 忘記要想到自己
我去了哪裹?
不要忽略了 不要忘記你自己了*

時間無多 無盡
心力無從 無盡
身心俱疲 選擇
身力無從 無盡
*repeat

集體模像 DUPLICATE COGNIZANCE
