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.

Listen to "Choral Chaos Re-Drum" by RougeHotel taken from "Yedora's Music Catalog" out on 31st May via Transatlantic

Pre-order: https://rougehotel.bandcamp.com/album/yedoras-music-catalog-2

On ‘Yedora’s Music Catalog’, RougeHotel renders a world of uncanny beauty, where crackles of the divine commune with earthly grit. A world within, where blown out melodies echo through foggy moors and pads n synths are redlined to reveal the harshness at the core of the crystalline prettiness.

This album extends an antennae to the noise, with opener ‘Gruulsignet’ chasing signals in the roil and capturing divine voices in the static. The caustic swirl of ‘Yedora’ and ‘Foil’ are disrupted by glimmering, otherworldly transmissions, heartstopping melodic bursts breaking through like beams of concentrated light through a dark, gnarled wilderness. But it’s on ‘Rhystic Study’ and ‘Choral Chaos Re-Drum’ where the light is forged into form — d&b-inflected slappers that go off like they’re transcribed from ancient druidic runes. The road is long and perilous, so consider this album an amulet, a protective charm, a talisman. This is pathfinder music.

@dvvdvv

When it all breaks open
Your idea of reality
And all there is is nothing
Nothing, that sits everywhere in your middle
The emptiness might be terrifying
In a beautiful spectrum of ways
It is where there is everything
Everything dressed as nothing

Following up two extended players in 2020 and 2022, Berlin-based vocalist dvdv reunites with Polish sound alchemist Poly Armour to issue their debut collaborative album 'STARVVING.'..Our pick, ‘Chronic’, unravels as a haunting symphony of siren-like laments. Starting with Burial-esque, glitchy arpeggios that pulse like short-circuiting neon light, the track expands into cavernous soundscapes. It seamlessly marries spectral dark ambient hues with disassembled club rhythms and eerie vocals. A dazzling labyrinth of textures, ‘Chronic’ immerses the listener in a deep, sensory overload.

【 𝒮𝒲𝐼𝒩𝐸  𝒫𝑅𝐸𝑀𝐼𝐸𝑅𝐸 】 Berlin-based visual, new media, and music artist @dvvdvv and her track "Your Lesson (Alternative)" from the upcoming album STARVVING (Feb 22.)

✤ "The song is almost a warning to oneself, that if you try to take it all, you might take your own life with it. It's the lesson you have to learn. That being alone and just one individual is an illusion of the systematically trained ego. And if we do not take care of each other, we will generate systems, that will just take care of oneself but not us humans nor of our communities: It will rip us apart, just like we ripped others apart on the way."

- inspired by The Sopranos S06E02: "It depicts Tony’s second life he lives in his subconscious whilst in a coma after being shot"

where were you when i was lonesome
locked away in this freezing cold
someone flying, only stolen,
i can't tell, this night's so old,
i don't want to swim the ocean,
i don't want to fight the tide,
i don't want to swim forever,
when its cold i'd like to die.
what was that, my sweet sweet nothing
i can't hear you through the fog
if i holler let me go
if i falter let me know
i don't want to swim the ocean,
i don't want to fight the tide,
i don't want to swim forever,
when its cold i'd like to die.
i don't want to swim forever,
i don't want to fight the tide,
i don't want to swim the ocean,
when its cold I'd like to die.
