The 38th release of katharsis and our final release of 2023 is the prodigious compilation "Embracing Darkness, Absorbing Light" featuring a vast array of artist beloved by the label. Throughout the grandiose line-up of the 36 tracks, the listener is absorbed by various differing interpretations of the theme outlined in the title of the album. Some of the invited artist went full into introverted progressions and meditative sounds, while others focused on aggressive rhythms or anthemic melodies. But even though the styles and techniques of the songs differ from each other, the artists seem to have some commonality in their sonic palettes that binds it all together in a mutual love for music as a healing force of nature <3

“I like to think of my music as being three genres: Hybrid, Visual and Pulse. These are genres I invented. These songs are mostly Visual / Pulse with slight Hybrid elements too.”
—Minoyimn


life is brutal and it’s full of brutal tales, human.
last autumn i had the pleasure of washing piles of dishes and listening to Kenji Miyazawa’s short stories ( i pay only 2€ for my audiobook app ). it was getting colder and these tales about facing the most basic and deepest everyday truths ( afterlife, religion, guilt, innocence, self-value ) almost made me weep to a dirty bowl. their language purity, delicate worldbuilding, and effortless characters were always fully interconnected with death, bullying and longing.
and it wasn’t a Grimm-like, fairytale obscurity that hit me so hard. it was the struggle of overcoming everyday darkness.

( i’m talking not only about a great children's book but mostly about my feelings towards Minoyimn’s sounds )


“Broken Pedant” of course comes from a world like “Bioshock” but every fantasy world comes from a world of sorrow, human.
〉that’s reality.
〉face that.
〉it’s dangerous but it’s worth it.
this is how this ep speaks to me and i cherish every moment of it.


thank you gos and Mosky wendolin for your remixes expanding this beautiful world.

Ship Sket - England as a Succubus EP

"Listening to Ship Sket feels like being dragged to hell and back." - DAZED

You cannot separate pleasure from pain. Grotesque drums hiss and boom inside drill’s stricture, voices utter shattered phrases to each other in a darkening chain of whispers, synthetic violins mourn their last and rush towards singularity. Drawing upon the ‘self indulgent, purple prose’ of Angela Carter, the staggering works of composers Villa Lobos and Xennakis, the fissure between pagan mysticism of England past and its feckless, soul consuming present; ‘England as a Succubus’ is a lustful spirit that writhes and vibrates against a backdrop of lurid sonic pressure. 

Raised amongst the trees of the North Dorset countryside and presently residing in Manchester, Ship Sket grapples with a frenetic and maximalist style that subverts and perverts expectations of UK bass music with equal measure.

His new EP 'England as a Succubus' will be out on 7th June 2024 on Illegal Data.
