It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis.

With the double compilation “Infinite Summer: Ekstase & Fantasi”, katharsis celebrates the return of raves and concerts to society after a long period of pandemic shutdown. A magical summer has passed filled with an incredible pallet of emotional material, ready to be expressed. Therefore, we encouraged a collection of artists we adore to channel their imagination of the greatest way to conclude an endless summer night into a piece of music.

This resulted in a grand assemblage of harmonious manifestations, naturally splitting into two divisions with opposing focuses. On the first part of the duology “Ekstase” coming out on September 20th, we are presented with fourteen tracks for the dancefloor in an array of different styles, ranging everywhere from energetic morning vibes on the junglish opener “Origin, Gate's Dawn” by Yem Gel to hardcore sensations on Mang’s trap-infused roller “Based Halo”.

⌹ Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Cimarrón is a producer and sound artist who creates hyper-contemporary, genre-fluid compositions that blur the boundaries between experimental club music and Latin rhythms. 

⌹ His debut EP Sin Cara, Sin Nombre [NODO label] narrated a liberating process of profound inner change through heartbreaking yet euphoric club beats. His second project, Rubí/Zafíro, is in a sense a continuation of Sin Cara, Sin Nombre.

@obelisksydney - Meta Bliss EP
[PAYNOMINDTOUS, PNMTU006, out Dec. 28th, 2022]
* featuring remixes by @ptwiggs and @sus1er *
Name-your-price download
[paynomindtous.bandcamp.com/album/meta-bliss]

The Sydney-based DJ and producer Ryan O'Rourke aka Obelisk (he/him) is an emerging name in the Australian contemporary underground club scene as an organizer of the experimental dance event series Nexus (instagram.com/nexus.eora/) and as an artist, holding releases on local compilations (@deep-scan-radio and @meganesia), and showcasing performances as both a solo artist and with the Winged Mantis duo, alongside Sydney-based DJ @index-exe. The work of Obelisk focuses on the interaction between heavy laptop electronic music and jungle/breakcore influences, mediated by a taste for raw aggressiveness and emotional grandeur that have been arranged in his debut release “Meta Bliss”, out today on our platform. Today, you can stream the first excerpt called "Echoburst" and pre-order the whole EP for 1€!

Composed of three original tracks, the release collects sharp, crystalline, and bursting compositions that feature fast and broken rhythms brilliantly juxtaposed with disfigured synths. While often indulging in the belligerent fury of knife-sharp percussions and booming distortion, the EP often crosses into spacious, euphoric melodies accompanied by frantic but cathartic, tempo-shifting drum work. Obelisk’s goal has been to investigate various ways of experiencing ecstasy and euphoria, whether by means of extreme, overwhelming rhythmic aggression, or breathtaking melodic refrains. While going through the 20-minute EP, one is brought to witness a daring descent into rush. “Meta Bliss” is the heavily cinematic sound commentary to some fast-paced, epic-scale, high fantasy encounter with angel-shaped, all-powerful beings of light under an immaculate sky.

Meta Bliss EP is completed by two remixes by the Sydney-based musician, producer, and DJ Ptwiggs (she/her) @ptwiggs and the Perth-based producer and DJ SUS1ER (he/him) @sus1er. Ptwiggs provides additional tones of darkness to “Illidan Bass” by crafting a 170 BPM deep drum and bass rework rich with clangy breakbeats, and diving deep into the obscurity of the industrial bassline. On the other hand, SUS1ER delivers the perfect closure to the release by re-arranging the opening track “Echoburst” into a 178 BPM hardcore anthem that preserves the emotional impact of the original all the way through the rawstyle finale.

Tracks 1-3 produced and mixed by Obelisk. Track 4 produced, mixed, and mastered by Ptwiggs. Track 5 produced and mixed by Sus1er. Track 1-3, 5 mastered by @wimdehaen. Artwork by K095C [instagram.com/k095c/]

HEEL002] KROLIK – EPIPHANY 

"Epiphany" is a moment of realization, so big it signifies the dusk of Krolik's path, finally complete, long awaited. So these last remnants stand testimony of the ever flowing state of things and its never ending evolution. It's a set of heavy bass, chopped samples and cheesy melodies infused with a touch of irony that set the surroundings for a sweet ending, seeding a new beginning, as the ears become the beak. 

Edition of 200 copies on transparent red vinyl, with a silk-screen print on the PVC sleeve.

KROLIK - RACE FAST BREAK HARD

Artist: @swanmeat
Title: FLESHWORLD
Release Date: February 21st, 2020
Format: Digital

FLESHWORLD​, the third solo EP from prolific Washington D.C., now Cologne-based composer-producer SWAN MEAT, is the culmination of years’ worth of work at perfecting a sound that draws from a wellspring of disparate sources & genres, shaping that fleshy amalgam into a monster both terrifying and lush. Her dedication to and love of maximalism is full-throttle, here, and each track on the five-track collection contains -- as is the artist’s signature -- an explosion of ideas, which move seamlessly in & out of each other, oscillating. Breakbeats, harpsichord arpeggios, and distorted, 8-bit kickdrums move in disjunctive harmony with string arrangements even more soaring than those on her 2nd solo release, ​TAME​; tracks like “MECHANICAL BULLGIRL” pay weird tribute to old Western soundtracks while sounding as though they could just as well be played through the loudspeakers on a demented, abandoned theme park. “SUCKLING,” pairs a funk bass with a string arrangement that pays
tongue-firmly-in-cheek homage to Hans Zimmer & cohort; “DENTISTS TOYS...” & “LITERALLY SEETHING” are shameless tributes to anime & old Sega OSTs; “EUGENIA MARIONETTE,” named after the troubled emo Youtube star, is, perhaps, the centerpiece of it all: a punk whorl of Y2K-core drum & bass riffs, heartbreaking vocaloid samples, and the words, whispered softly before a drop: ​ something needs to change.

Change is, indeed, in the air: rejecting what she sees as a club scene scarred by its allegiance to technocapitalism, the fashion industry, and an elitist obsession with the fine arts, SWAN MEAT produces music that seeks to be good, great -- most importantly fun -- on its own terms, and revels in the joy(s) of fastidious micro editing, sound design, and being up ‘til 4 am on energy drinks, dying and being actually more alive than ever at the same time.

Stasya - Transparent

Country Music is a collaborative project by Daniel Iinatti and Anna Sagström that is born on the factory floors of the rural rust belts, in the corrosive regress of life and tempo in downgraded de-industrialized wastelands and anti-growth environments, and in the urban steel knit of precarious compositions. An alloy of work, speed and materials formed out of the potential energy of underused spaces to envision music from the contemporary periphery. A reimagined music of the land, towards a new Country Music.
