From September to August, each month 28th, a new PAINT, a new TRACK

THE NEXT TAPE creuse son sillon entre trip hop et nu jazz puisant ses influences aux confluents d’une musique électronique décomplexée, d’un post rock rageur et d’une soul chaloupée.

Catharsis Records aims at delivering ease with flavor. Recreation & Romance, Relief & Rest, Comfort & Calmness, Silence & Seduction... These are some keywords describing the label. There is a lot of lounge and chill labels out there, please believe we recognized already, but there is none yet juggling genres and issues without losing the reference to the essence of relief,... well now there is: Catharsis Records. 
We do not want to say now "put on the candles" or "fill your bathtub" because we are convicted of individuality: Create the atmosphere YOU enjoy to refill batteries or ignore your actual atmosphere and simply listen. Then latest you understand what we created for you: Catharsis!

CHIPTUNE + ELECTRONICA = CHIPTRONICA 
Quand on laisse ces deux bidouilleurs sonores foncer tête baissée dans leur amour pour les séquenceurs et autres arpeggiateurs, les sons rétros façon game boy, les claviers analogiques et les boites à rythme lofi ça donne K-ARP. De l’électronique intuitive et rafraichissante oscillant entre minimale et animale. Un premier EP 6 titres a été composé et enregistré en seulement 6 jours! 
Spécialistes de la musique à l’image et du sampling version hold-up, ce duo grenoblois de multi-instrumentistes, dégaine parfois guitare et saxophone pour amener leur electro 8 bits vers des expérimentations nu jazz. 
Accrochez-vous car ces deux inséparables geeks vont vous faire atteindre les sommets…
Ces musiciens insatiables œuvrent / ont œuvré aussi dans NATSAT, SZ, THE NEXT TAPE, FRANCK LITZLER, BIG TATA PROJECT...

"it all makes for another interesting EP from fullbarr, which we're following more avidly with each release"-MIXMAG 


<b>It’s reassuring to know that the young bloods still care; 
 that flooding charts is not always the MO, and that artistic value can still be prized above ubiquity. 
Take Fullbarr for example – a boutique label of love from the mind of 24 year old Arthur Barr. He’s not yet an established DJ, a hyped producer or anything else; rather he’s a fan of fine electronic music who wants to add to the global conversation with his own unique accent.

And he has been doing just that with an admirably DIY approach since 2010, fusing the depths of dub, the power of techno and the mood of house into mature and alluring soundscapes that take inspiration from “parties, music, artists and friends from around the globe.” It’s a simple and honest mission, and one that is serving the Bradford based label well, with support coming in from both on and offline press (think RA, DJ Mag, De: Bug). Of course, more important than what some holed-up desk jockeys say, is what the all important disc jockey says…. And alas, with plays and chartings from top-dogs including Delano Smith, Seth Troxler, Jozif, Ripperton, Kenny Larkin, Ed Davenport, Iron Curtis fullbarr can sleep easy.
