XHL UNIT - "Aisle"

Azelsgöattii (@goattii)

Azelsgoattii is a bedroom musician from Xi ‘An bass label SOURCE, currently living in Chengdu. She’s used to creating real thoughts and life experiences in the moment of emotional catharsis.

In 2021, she released her first single Rainin Floatin ft.Ylils00001, singing two-piece melodic R&B in a Cloudrap atmosphere and gaining popularity among musicians on SoundCloud. That same year, S!LK Compilation Vol2- 海纳百川 included her collaboration single ChangAnSwing with LJC, Uk Wave plus Cloudrap’s ethereal beauty led to this song being included in their mixes by numerous DJS in China. And then the single Fadeaway with Blastah is her favorite work, everyone has their own different face, while blaming themselves and trying to pull themselves out of the endless abyss… Escape the infinite loop of the world and the constant repetition of emotions.

Exhalation is the debut compilation of ÖÖÖ, which embodies the label's main theme of "Primitive Future". The concept captures the essence of a universal cycle that encompasses physical and spiritual elements for generating life, intelligence, and emotion. It speaks to the movement of life forms in all their subtlety or grandeur, from humans, creatures to planets, from unknown beings to unpredictable happenings. Exhalation is rooted in the origin of natural orders and chaos since time immemorial.

Participated artists are crossing different continents of the earth - SÁCCEA (@sacce4), Aestum (@aestum), e6c41 (@e6c41), Iva Peralta (@ivaperalta) Ylateau (@ylateau), Anh Phi (@anh_phi), Locre (@locr3), Ice_Eyes (@ice_eyes), Azelsgöattii (@goattii), Toby Davis (@toby_davis), Klusā Daba (@klusa_daba).

The artists developed their envision of the theme through different sonic landscapes - from futural energy paradise, turbulent apocalypse earth cracks, cult incantation from posthuman tribes, the nirvana of subconscious struggles, to oracle lights and dreamlike chants that heal wounds... Any possibilities are expected as artists will tell a consistent story of Exhalation together with their unique perspectives.

Azelsgöattii, Toby Davis - Phantom Rain 幻城雨夢

Genre tags. How outdated, how limiting. In our everything-all-at-once media landscape, dull catch-all terms like 'dance' are no longer useful for artists and archivists hoping to describe music that spills and oozes out of any box you try to force it into.

As a test case, take At Her Open Door, aka Taiki Kobayashi, an artist who crosses dubstep, experimental, IDM, rave, trance, gabber, noise, and 80s synthwave. For his new EP 𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙮 𝙀𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙨, he says his productions give form to the sound he wants to hear, a sound that fuses conflicting emotions and expressions.

Perhaps 30 seconds or so into 𝘈𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘳 you think you've got his number, nodding along to the complex uplifting trance chords. But then comes the noise, the glitches, the distortion, the ultrachaos.

Or how about 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘴, which begins with metallic phrases that seem predictably grime-adjacent, before suddenly switching up into a hard trance untz-athon.

Finally, 𝘠𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘴 is a violent hypercontemporary glitched-out deconstructed club track that's also a nostalgic hoover-driven rave anthem. You can read that again if you need to.

So any ideas for how to categorise this would be much appreciated. Leave your answers in the comments. Please like and subscribe.

The final katharsis release of 2024 is the 26-track compilation “Physical Force” featuring a wide range of affiliated artists from both the international and local Copenhagen electronic music scene. As the title hints, Physical Force delves into the visceral, bodily aspects of music, inviting its contributors to explore the theme of movement as a central element in their compositions. Each artist was encouraged to focus on rhythm, groove, energy, and the physicality of sound, which resulted in drum-heavy release from start to finish. While there is a consistent emphasis on rhythm and a bodily connection to the music, the tracks vary widely in style and sonic texture, ranging from big melodic anthems, gritty experimental techno, heavy jungle bangers, and beyond.
