The 42nd release of katharsis is the collaborative album “Soft Space” by label founder jjjacob and various other artists from around the world, coming out on May 31st. The album works as a sequel to his previous full-length release "Brutal Nature" from 2022, both in terms of the collaborational dogma in production but also in the thematic connection and contrast between the brutality of nature and the softness of space. All tracks emerged as infantile jjjacob sketches, then taking more form and gaining inspirational matter from the collaborating artists' conduct and care, before finally being concluded by the final touches of jjjacob again.

The result is as the title suggests smooth and gentle at most times, but it does though have more wicked and harsh moments and aspects throughout the album. The emotional journey of the album keeps pendulating between the pleasant floating sensations of celestial emptiness and the brute mysticality of the unknown. At times it feels aerodynamic or dissolving, at others it tastes crispy and anthemic, but the overall output is definitely ethereal and cosmic.

I hate being a sensitive, good-hearted person. I hate how much it makes me fucking weak and helpless and everyday I can’t do anything but just weep for hours. 
I hate that it makes me even more insecure and just generally an incompetent, good for nothing individual in anything I do or take part of.
I hate my own sensitivity. It's become a dirty wall of noise I will never surpass. I hate how it makes me sick and incapable of living. It swallows me in a spiral of just a never ending flow of bad thoughts. 
I wish I was stronger, I wish I was less sensitive, I wish I didn’t have to write these fucking lines that no one really even cares about. But I had to, because I made the song out of all these thoughts and feelings I had. I’m not sure anybody will even believe in all of this because that’s just how it is. 

Thank you for reading and listening, or at least pretending to like as if you feel sorry or even care about all of this. 
regards, 
leo/230

what if the glass of water I lose myself in became an upside down, flooded, endless hallway?

Patrúin mark their long awaited return with Wastee, from Wastefellow. A trio of marble-cut dance tracks etched out of wonky bass-driven styles on the label’s first release since 2020.

Diolmhain Ingram Roche enjoys a cult-like status within Ireland’s underground. A polymath of electronic music, he’s primarily known for releasing experimental pop as Wastefellow and subsequent affiliation with Kojaque’s Soft Boy Records. In recent years, he’s led the no-nonsense band, Really Good Time and toured with them throughout the UK, EU and Ireland.

Amidst all this, Wastee has been Diolmhain’s guilty pleasure, a lesser-known project dedicated to strict dancefloor business. He debuted the alias with the 2017 ‘Cola’ EP on Lyxliv, which garnered attention from Vice, DJmag, and Apple Music. Wastee reappeared on the P.U.P. Volume 1 compilation in 2021.

After a two-year break from electronic music, Diolmhain returns, integrating the Wastee alias into his main project and creating his most substantial offering of club cuts yet. The final Wastee release, but the first of many more for Wastefellow, this marks his first outing with the cult Dublin label Patrúin, co-founded by Oli and Fes in 2017, which has been notably absent from release schedules since 2020 until now.

‘Haunt You Back’ shuffles its breaks-y deck amongst some angled drums and sprightly croons, temporarily loosening its grip to deal a dialled-up signal that bursts into pop-a-delic techno delirium. ‘Squished Activity’ swirls amongst the claps before nose diving into a sub-heavy broken beat undergrowth that blossoms into a divine club strut of heads-down attitude. Our finale is ‘Your One To Me’, a large chromatic 2 stepper that boasts anthemic vocal cuts and monolithic production chops for a large-and-in-charge closer.

Wastee is a vital extension of both Wastefellow’s musical being and Patruin’s label legacy, 3 exquisite dance tracks from a true talent and a welcome return for the imprint.

50% of profits from the release will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians.
