Cime Sampler Vol. 3

FLORAS is the new album from katharsis founder jjjacob, releasing on May 21st to mark the five-year anniversary of the label’s first output. A celebration shaped by time, patience, and transformation, FLORAS is an assemblage of seven tracks - each with its history. The oldest dates back to 2018; the newest bloomed only months ago. Initially intended for other projects or collaborations that never fully took root, these compositions have been reworked, reimagined, and refined - transformed by years of quiet attention. Stylistically, the release moves between the physical and the introspective - crushed drumbreaks, poignant basslines, grand synth melodies, and obscure granular vocals.

Each track is like an ancient, fluorescent flower rediscovered in a distant cave, alien in form yet deeply familiar. Cyclical in structure, they mirror the seasonal processes: emerging, flourishing, decaying, returning. There’s a strange botanical logic at play, as patterns and shapes reappear like genetic echoes, and even discarded stems sprout new life. Melodic ideas and textural procedures reverberate across tracks like shared ancestral material, connecting them like a hidden underground network. Some tracks still bear traces of feedback or collaboration that never fully materialized - ghost limbs and branches that helped shape the whole.

Built from ambient textures, hard-hitting percussion, and sonic details that reward deep listening, FLORAS is a meditation on growth, time, and potential. The release reflects not only a shift in jjjacob’s personal process, but also a new chapter for katharsis itself: after five years of near-monthly releases, the label now turns toward a slower rhythm - giving each release more space to breathe, settle, and take root before moving on.

Stegi | evo-natura with Ytem ― 27th May 2025

First premiere "guess we could get along" from @tibslc is now up on our SoundCloud and Bandcamp.
The track can be described as a tiny town crash pop anthem to have an ice cream – a digital guitar ballad wrapped in blurred vocals and soft distortion.

Fourth and final premiere "Ciphercut“ by @genus-aix is out now. In "Ciphercut", Genus Aix reveals a new facet of his sound, leaning into a bass-heavy, raw, and darker sound aesthetic. The track adds a post-dubstep-tinged edge to the compilation, evoking the feel of a slow-motion moshpit.
