The ninth release of katharsis is the EP “Journey Before Destination” by @jjjacob, which is the first full release of the label founder on his own label. The EP spans six tracks and is quite a deviation in sound from his earlier releases on labels such as ANBA, high heal and Sweat Taste. Taking a step away from his usual tools of heavily automated synths and complex midi-based melodies, this EP focuses closely on recordings of acoustic instruments and vocals done by jjjacob himself throughout the pandemic year.

xquisite releases present ‘0ground’ debut ep from artist JAN.

spiralling through lush worlds built from the remnants of edm hits and lost sound recordings JAN creates an ecstatic tour of an emotional realm fuelled by hd memories.

the irreverence of JAN’s sonic palette creates a kind of infectious lens through which to look, one that bases itself in joy and the liberating power of sound.

the release also features collaborations with like-minded artists jśa ,WOJCIECH BĄKOWSKI and oxhy.

The eighth release on katharsis is the EP “Something in Me Does Not Suffer” by the Detroit-based artist Infant. His earlier releases on labels such as Rest Now!, media_rins and WET illustrates the artist’s ethereal style of ambient and experimental music. With the title of this release drawing on the mysticism of the French philosopher Simone Weil, Infant takes us through a selection of astral soundscapes providing us with light for the spirit and nourishment for the soul. 

Throughout the release, the listener is presented with long stretches of celestial pads accompanied by the ambience of nature and whispered words from the artist himself. He states the following about the EP: “It’s a collection of material produced in the midst of a deep quarantine-induced haze. Between working from home, making clothes, and spending lots of time in the woods, I produced these pieces, weaving together poetry, field recordings and mutated synthesis. There’s no conceptual underpinning, only a desire to reconcile myself with the state of things”.
