The ever-reliable London label welcome Montreal artist, laced, who delivers a dreamy cut of sugar-coated rainbow electronics, including a remix from fellow Canadian SIM.

As she closed her eyes she watched colours bleed into one another. They were so vivid she could feel them pour over her face and down her neck. She pictured how it would look. As a deep scarlet filled her ear and a rich blue licked her neck, she too found herself melting into colour.

Caustic Reverie is a 4-track EP which combines the warmth of highly-processed synthesised sounds with harshness of percussive instrumentation in a sunshine-doused exploration of depth and texture. Crisp blips, swishes and tiny twangs tempt the touch, creating a soundscape at once futuristic and psychedelic: not a far cry from the music of foodman or Smerz.
 
On the title track, vibrant synth plucks reverberate around a cavernous space, warming the atmosphere before mutating into a broken techno rhythm. Bolstered by low-end hits and peppered with Jessy Lanza-esque vocal chops, this one’s a real treat for the ears.

The 40th release of katharsis is the EP “Life is Hard” by Malle Voss coming out on April 10th. Following up on his debut release “Death is Easy” on Blue Tapes from 2022, the artist expands his musical pilgrimage into pure and spiritual affection in chaotic and dark territory. By using emotion in a structural way, the 6 tracks portray deep truths of overcoming struggle and turning nonsense into meaning. The tracks work like dark botanical angel artifacts, each with its rituals and prayers of death motivation and enlightenment through hardship. The range of sentiments covers everything from both beauty and joy to aggression and ecstasy, in its messy-by-design style of maximalist minimalism.

Known for his ritualistic, atmospheric, and percussive approach, B.A.R.K. delivers four original tracks that channel relentless momentum and immersive intensity—hallmarks of the OMEN sound and a continuation of his evolving vision within the label’s catalog. Each piece is carefully constructed, weaving hypnotic rhythms with layered textures that evoke both primal energy and cinematic tension.

To further expand the sonic landscape, the project is rounded out by three remixes from international artists, each offering a unique interpretation of B.A.R.K.’s work:

ZNTHIIA makes a striking OMEN debut with a dense, cinematic rework that heightens the release’s brooding aesthetic and pushes its dark energy into new territory.

s t e v a n delivers a fierce, deep-dark reimagining—part hypnotic late-night weapon, part unsettling introduction—designed to blur the line between tension and release.

We are tickled pink to be announcing this top draw bit of tackle from label affiliate Troy Gunner with a killer Herron remix to boot. After his contribution to Unperson’s remix plate it felt right to ask him to put his shin pads on and wade into a 4 tracker. This EP sees Troy traverse a multitude of tempos and forms, using foreboding sonics and clattering percussion to create feelings of pure angst aswell as elation and we can’t wait to hear these in a club setting. Big love to Charlie Maclagan on the art and JGD on the design as per.
