30. Ambient-Techno

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.

BLOODSYNC-Ignite [MUTANT REBELS]

What began as curiosity about different musical cultures has evolved into
   something deeper: using sounds from around the world to explore where
  we've been and where we might be heading. Each track becomes a small
  meditation on empire, legacy, and the strange ways the past keeps showing
   up in the present day.

"A mythology of bewinged souls, protecting and defending our realms.
Archangels falling as freezing rain, in their struggles with themselves.
Saving the soul from sin and fear, cleansing away your inner disgusts.
Your spirit is ripe for the second coming, tribulation is close at hand.
The Deluge is coming and who will be saved, what becomes of Angelic Hostility."

THAT’S A (HUGE) LOAD/WEIGHT OFF MY MIND

don't u worry child (clxo luminescent edit)

"If you had to live your life over and over again for eternity, how would you live it? What does making choices mean? The contingencies of a life unravel my senses."

Throughout the course of 10 tracks of ‘Wiederkunft Eternal LP‘, the debut album by German producer thirdworldlabour, a digitally cold climate dominates throughout while a specific kind of affectivity is captured in each track. The sound design ranges from emotionally brutal (within) and uncanny (diminished spirits) to blissfully divine (a seamless float to another dome). An emphasis of using chopped vocal samples together with choir-like ambience often creates an ethereal atmosphere which subsequently is shattered by seemingly primitive and at times overtly mechanistic drum programming. Repeatedly Cryogenic synth melodies are paired with unwavering percussion that evoke connotations of fully automated, industrial production processes (many fathers/ancestral transition). Whereas in other parts, steady vocal arpeggios prevail in a textural landscape which seems to dissolve itself into non-physicality (disintegration II).
Reflected in the works title, the album draws upon the concept of the 'Eternal Return' which has its origins in non-western philosophy. The concept relates to the notion of pre-determinism and assumes that time and space are infinite progresses in which the individual is living their life over and over again in a never ending recurrent cycle.
Wiederkunft Eternal examines said concept within the expressive potential of sound and specifically tries to investigate the relationship between hope and despair as central themes in human experience.
