It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis.

With the double compilation “Infinite Summer: Ekstase & Fantasi”, katharsis celebrates the return of raves and concerts to society after a long period of pandemic shutdown. A magical summer has passed filled with an incredible pallet of emotional material, ready to be expressed. Therefore, we encouraged a collection of artists we adore to channel their imagination of the greatest way to conclude an endless summer night into a piece of music.

This resulted in a grand assemblage of harmonious manifestations, naturally splitting into two divisions with opposing focuses. On the first part of the duology “Ekstase” coming out on September 20th, we are presented with fourteen tracks for the dancefloor in an array of different styles, ranging everywhere from energetic morning vibes on the junglish opener “Origin, Gate's Dawn” by Yem Gel to hardcore sensations on Mang’s trap-infused roller “Based Halo”.

To drink the «Ladoga» cranberry tincture after the beer. To swing around the city in something defiantly colorful instead of the usual mourning black. To move from Kreuzberg neighbourhood of Berlin to Longinovskaya street in Lefortovo. To eat a hot pepper with marshmallows in chocolate. To cut off your luxurious tresses and shave your head. Finally, stop rooting for the club from the Premier League and start supporting with all your heart the «Torpedo» football team from Lyubertsy.

None of these events comes close to the contrasts of the full vinyl mix recorded for us by Ilya Sheiman, co-founder of the Alt community, sound producer and our dearest friend.

Sheyman - 5/8 Radio #202

(live version)

‘And where should we go’ — live-recorded album by Homeless dog, the psychedelic electro-acoustic duo consisting of a screech of saxophone and electric guitar, vocals, synthesizers and ethnic instruments, in which Vladimir Sidorov and Ilya Sheyman study various forms of absurdity and chaos, scream and freeze, uprooting everything that is dug into the depths of thoughts and feelings. 

The musicians of the duo speak about the album as follows: 

“The war has come, which we did not want, were afraid of, which we are fighting against and which we hate. Up to this day, it keeps us awake at night, haunts us on the way to school or work, guards nearby grocery stores and on the subway, seeps into people's faces and rots, infecting their internal organs. Others lose their homes and loved ones, migrating all over the world in search of space and safety and do not know where to go. 

We don't know where we should go either. This live recording is our hour-long story about the feeling of being lost and empty, when there is nothing you can grab onto and everything disappears: the former world that you loved and tried to protect, but could not save, because there are people vaster than you and more terrible” 

The release is already available on digital platforms, a little later in audio cassette format. 

Track list: 

1. jam number Zero (03:41) 
2. inquiry (2:02) 
3. hang on a sec, they are killing me (2:19) 
4. red-blue day obscurity (3:37) 
5. crawling home (6:14)

8. lullaby (3:57) 
9. improv (4:59) 
10. slug’s destiny (3:57) 
11. butterfly death (5:58) 
12. he will surely die (5:05)

14. we're still dancing (3:42)

"И куда нам деваться" — live-альбом Бродячей собаки, психоделического электроакустического дуэта в составе скрежета саксофона и электрической гитары, вокала, синтезаторов и этнических инструментов. Участники проекта Владимир Сидоров и Илья Шейман изучают различные формы абсурда и хаоса, кричат и замирают, выкорчёвывают всё, что врыто в глубину мыслей и чувств. 

Авторы рассказывают о содержимом альбома так: 

“Наступила война, которую мы не хотели, боялись, против которой мы боремся и которую ненавидим. Она по сей день не даёт нам спать по ночам, преследует нас по пути на учёбу и работу, караулит у продуктовых магазинов и в метро, просачивается в лица людей и гниёт, заражая их внутренние органы. Другие теряют дома и близких, разлетаются по миру в поисках воздуха и безопасности и не знают куда им деться. 

Мы тоже не знаем куда нам деться. Этот лайв — наш часовой рассказ об ощущении потерянности и пустоты, когда не за что хвататься и все пропадает: тот прежний мир, который ты любил и оберегал, но не смог сохранить, потому что есть люди выше и страшнее”. 

Альбом складывался весной и летом 2022-го года, был записан живьём для TESTFM в сентябре.

Low Pressure

Deep Down (Don't Drown)

Taken from SBKT064: sideproject - sourcepond
Release date: 30th May 2024

Following up from work on Björk´s 'Fossora', Icelandic trio 'sideproject' debut on SVBKVLT with their new full-length album 'sourcepond'. Taking influence from the fog-covered wetlands of their native island, sideproject transfigure influences from the low-end frequencies of grime and bass music, and reshape it into a haze of transient-smeared beats accompanied by breathy synths that grow ever wetter till they slip beneath the surface tensions of their harmonic stratum. Compared to previous output, 'sourcepond' opts for a more concise approach to their music, stacking up their influences of experimental electronic, Icelandic punk and contemporary club music, and builds a sound that oscillates between melodic hooks and experimental rhythms. Each track carves through the sensuous material, pulling the listener into the dank sourcepond as though magnetic forces were guiding a bird's beak towards misty horizons.

AUX1 Takeover - MAAY - 25 Jan 2025

WHYISMATTCRYING is a sonic project of Poland-based DJ/artist Mattia Spich, weaving ambient atmospheres, evolving rhythms, and deconstructed textures. Drawing inspiration from noise, surreal soundscapes, and queer experimentalism, their work dissolves genre boundaries into a surreal, otherworldly realm. Through subtle sonic experimentation, Mattia invites listeners on a nostalgic journey through a sea of liminal drones and reverbed vocals.

Listen to 'Span The Void (feat. Ayu Okakita)' by Max Dahlhaus taken from 'ONEIRIC' out on May 2nd via Over My Body

Pre-order: https://overmybody.bandcamp.com/album/oneiric

Berlin-based producer and audiovisual artist Max Dahlhaus returns on the label two year after his last Over My Body debut release with a dream in Sound.

A system of sound built from fragmented memories, shifting rhythms, and digital distortions. ONEIRIC exists in the space between the organic and the synthetic, between structure and collapse. Here, cello strings vibrate in artificial landscapes, field recordings blur into machine pulses, and AI-generated voices attempt—futilely—to replicate human emotion. It’s a record untethered from genre, operating instead as a dream-state where time signatures fracture, grooves morph, and textures breathe.

The title ONEIRIC—meaning “relating to dreams”—perfectly encapsulates the LP’s unstable logic. Like a lucid dream, the music moves with both intention and unpredictability. Each track is its own self-contained world, but together they form an evolving structure that reprograms itself as it plays.Max Dahlhaus builds this sonic architecture through an array of techniques: recording cello and breaking glass, capturing field sounds, feeding AI-generated elements into Ableton, and letting the collision of these methods shape the outcome. Vocalists CATNAPP and Ayu Okakita appear as ghostly presences—human touchpoints in a landscape that is constantly shifting. ONEIRIC is as much a soundtrack for the body as it is for the mind—cinematic in scope, but wired for the club, where rhythm dictates movement and sound overwhelms space.

12. Complexion (Geng Remix) - vinyl edition

Bonaventure, real name Soraya Lutangu, follows up her 'Complexion' single released on NON Worldwide last year with her EP, 'FREE LUTANGU,' out on PTP in May. Described by Lutangu as having been born out of "a violent clash of sorrow and love," this EP explores themes of institutional racism and oppression - something she's experienced first hand growing up in Lausanne, Switzerland, of mixed African and European heritage. Listeners are confronted head-on by these issues with the pummeling opener, "Supremacy," acting as an ominous movie trailer narrated by samples of Sister Souljah's speech from Bill Moyer's PBS series 'Listening To America,' and in titles such as "Mulatre" and Diaspora." Closing track "Fearlings" also sees Bonaventure collaborate with artist and writer Hannah Black - who contributes on vocals - offering a first glimpse into their ANXIETINA project, a performance piece realized in music, words and textiles by Lutangu, Black and designer Ebba Fransen-Waldhor.

'FREE LUTANGU' will be released digitally on PTP in May, with the vinyl edition set for a summer release together with a remix package featuring Endgame, Ziúr, Prison Religion, Y1640, Jackie, and PTP label head Geng.

Llegué Por La Noche (feat. Otto Von Schirach)

In April 2019 improvising lyricist, producer and sound artist Elvin Brandhi  moved into the 'Villa' in Kampala Uganda working on a collaborative album with several artists from the Nyege Nyege collective.

 Auto-tune blast beats from field recordings of Evangelist churches, the swamps surrounding the studios, with warped drums by Kampala based percussionist Omutaba, improvised stream of consciousness lyrics from local rappers Hakim and Swordman Kitala, with glitched out bassy productions with Boutiq Studio manager Don Zilla and Congolese producer Oise. This new project called Viillaelvin is the  first full LP to be released on Hakuna Kulala.
