As the days get longer and the warmth of the year begins reinvigorating the life of the land the power of our sun awakens us out of the darkness and hibernation with all the welcome pleasures of spring growth and fresh emergence. Trees and plants burst into colourful bloom and productivity, the bugs, beneficial and parasitic, also emerge, along with fungal spores and molds as the violent interactions of natures fight for survival starts to play out at an increasingly manic pace. M0RN1N9 5UN is and ode to the balance presented through natures impartiality.

Jenn leads us on a blood-pumping ride with SOMA, his sophomore EP now out on formforum.

With bouncy, yet disorienting patterns that keep you on the edge of your seat, SOMA cranks the tension to max, like a heart-racing POV horror movie, showcasing Jenn's reborn thirst for radical sound wizardry and alien club solutions.
As you navigate through the depths of this release, you may find yourself ensnared in an intricate web of sonic aberrations, questioning reality and wondering what lies around the next sonic corner. Jenn's immersive arrangements convey a sense of relentless pursuit, like sprinting through a dense, eerie forest with a shattered handy-cam, with the same crushing intensity of "The Blair Witch Project."
For this installment, Jenn joined forces with underground heavyweights Talpah, EKSE and TVVASTE, each of whom infused their unique poison to one of the tracks. The EP is completed by Ludwig Wandinger's remix, which feels like the theme of a game over screen. Finally, the chance to regain your breath you were seeking for.
SOMA invites you to surrender yourself to the unknown, to embrace the thrill of the chase, and to revel in the exhilarating uncertainty that lies within. Allow the ominous allure of Jenn's music to consume you, as you step into the dark and twisted sonic abyss he has conjured.

Jenn - The Exit (feat.EKSE)

@leop3rdi
The 36th release of katharsis is the EP “be there” by Belgian artist leop4rdi, coming out on September 4th. Throughout its six tracks, the artist shows off his unique blend of granular synths, etheric vocals, emo guitar riffs, and smashing rocky drums. This infusion of his cute kitsch vibes with obscure spiritual icons and cryptic intelligence results in a unique aesthetic represented on the artwork created by label boss jjjacob.

The EP is the second full release by the Brussel-based artist, following his stellar EP “a process of learning and understanding” on the magnificent label and collective Soul Feeder in January this year. His alternative approach and very personal style shine through on “be there” as well, the titles of the tracks representing intuitive associations from the artist's mind.

Three singles were premiered prior to the full release, "Out Of My Skin" - a beautiful sonic journey of emotive acoustic guitar, bit-crushed vocal wails, playful synths, and powerful percussion, secondly the downtempo & bouncy though aggressively distorted track "Focus!" with a feel of melancholic overtones and struggling attention, and thirdly the deeply melancholic ballad "Essence" starting with acoustic guitar chords and poignant vocal chops but ending with hard drums and overdriven synths.

lyrics:
My elderly auntie named Dot
Had memory going to pot
She served me raw food
While being totally nude

The dinners I’ve never forgot

My elderly auntie named Dot
Had memory going to pot
She served me raw food
While being totally nude

Raw food, raw food,
I ate raw food, while my auntie was nude.

exclusive | P.O & N2o - Game Over | Attention Spin!

Attention Spin! returns for its third chapter, “Il était une fois le bien le mal” - a five-track ensemble that feels like a musical fable of contrasts, weaving between light and shadow, pop and underground, sexy nostalgia and modern club heat. The vinyl-imprint run by Dawidu continues to stake its claim as a playground where various sub-genres of electronic music and eccentricity not only coexist but thrive.

Flash FM (P.O & U-Died aka Mare) opens the story with “Petit Château”, a quirky yet sleek House cut that leans on computerised vocals and a buoyant bassline. The synth line flows with just the right dose of ease, making this opener a go-to for DJs who want to set a mood without forcing it – simple, classy, and straight to the floor.

P.O & N2o follow with “Game Over”, a tune that wears its 80s influence with pride. A lush, melodic synth line weaves around an Electro skeleton, delivering something that’s at once sensual and playful. It’s cheeky, it’s danceable, it’s the kind of track that makes you wish for a smoke machine, a strobe, and a crowd that knows how to move their hips.

Closing the A-side, P.O & Yoann TDI bring “Je ne dis jamais rien” - and nothing about this track is silent. Addictive pop-leaning vocals, paired with an Italo-tinted Electro groove, create a late-summer anthem that clings to your head long after the needle lifts. It’s playful but sharp, uplifting yet just twisted enough to work in the depths of a night.

Flip to the B-side and Tibahuult teams up with Ana for “Breath”. The Electro DNA is still there but stripped of overt 80s cues, making space for Ana’s sultry vocals to do the heavy lifting. The result is intoxicating - a track you don’t just hear but feel on your skin, the kind that turns dancefloors into intimate encounters.

To close, Tibahuult and label-head Dawidu deliver “Melody”. It’s a fitting finale - pop-tinged, electro-infused, lighthearted yet driving. It doesn’t aim for drama but for closure, the sweet comedown after the rush, leaving dancers with warmth and a smile.

With “Il était une fois le bien le mal”, Attention Spin! proves itself to be more than a label - it’s a stage for narrative, for character, for sound that isn’t afraid to straddle genres or moods. Five tracks, five personalities, one story that lingers.
