"The influence and presence of trap and rap in dance/experimental is obviously massive, and the lines between genres are more blurred than ever. HAJJ, however, says this is a recent thing; “I find that the electronic scene in France is just starting to encourage the integration of this culture. Not so long ago people insulted me when I played rap/trap in my sets.”

The underpinning idea for this compilation brought electronic producers not explicitly of that world to unpick whatever boundaries remain and contribute tracks for a mixtape – while a few of the artists are more obviously ready to “play the game” and already make music which exists pretty close to this horizon, this has been a challenge to think creatively for a few of the other artists invited."

Miaw, the emerging cross-pop duo, is set to release their third single, "Petswan," on the 17th October via katharsis. Known for indulging fast sampled drums, chopped vocals and dreamy synthesizers, miaw’s progressive production flirts with the intersection between a remix and a pop song. elements of both remixes and traditional pop.

Following airplay on prominent stations like BBC6 and 1Live, and earning praise from international publications such as Undertoner, Bands of Tomorrow, and BPM, who described them as “frankly mind-blowing,” miaw is now poised to drop their most dynamic and club-ready track to date with "Petswan."

The song’s narrative centers on the classic themes of love and heartache, while being wrapped in an experimental and high-energy soundscape. Driven by bright, plucky synths, frenetic breaks, and miaw’s signature pitched-up vocals, the track explores the emotional turbulence of unreciprocated love

The 45th release of katharsis is the EP "Intrusion" by Italian artist Lefka, releasing in full on October 28th. Throughout the six tracks of the EP, Lefka swaddles the listener in a dense and distorted quilt of sound that feels both heavy and light at the same time. "Intrusion" is a release that aims to sonify the acceptance of intrusive thoughts through a kathartic and emotionally intense experience.

Through heavy use of granular synthesis and electric guitar recordings, the release varies from calm, introspective moments to peaks of intense sound pressure. Like through glass, the sounds refract and are broken into pieces, creating an aural effect of rebound and confused scattering, and like intrusive thoughts, the tracks have abrupt peaks that reset the silence with unsettling intensity.

Lefka is a multidisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam. As in a stream of consciousness, his own productions are characterized by an irreverent and disillusioned approach, which aim to detach from a precise genre-categorization.
