The 16th release of katharsis is the EP “Internal Presence” by the label founder, jjjacob. This EP is the follow-up and counterpart to his earlier release on the label “Journey Before Destination” which came out half a year before on March 8th. On this release, jjjacob returns to his usual uncompromising electronic sound after exploring more minimalistic and acoustic facets of his musical expression on the preceding EP. By blending uncanny choirs and obscure samples with peculiar synths and IDM-inspired drums, jjjacob’s melodic universe brings the listener on a sonic adventure into a fantasy-infused world.

While “Journey Before Destination” sought to explore the heroic struggles of a poignant pilgrimager, “Internal Presence” examines the magical sensations and daunting emotions of otherworldly transformations. Starting from the grandiose trance-infused intro anthem “Shapeshifter”, the EP quickly develops into the curious yet introverted exploration of an exquisite domain on “Realm of Essence”. Following this, immense feelings and existential contemplations are presented through ethereal harps and hymns of lost spirits on “Lethal Sentiment”, before angelic creatures serenade about the destination of our eternal journey on the closing track “Terminal Bliss”.

Internal Presence

Shapeshifter

Pneumatic proudly presents 'Heaven' a project by https://soundcloud.com/grasps.

Internet obsession, rave-nostalgia & intense anxiety surrounding death. A sense of purpose was dwindling from euphoric moments. Extended eye contact till you can feel it in your stomach, to be everlasting, to look up to the sky & say: “This feels Like Heaven”.

Grasps_ develops their signature sound, using Heaven as an ode to the meaningful connections forged through their work. The Eora (Sydney) based artist unpacks and reflects on the experiences of urban dread and trepidation, intimacy and desolation, overtly depicted through a lens of melancholia.

The theme of this album is water, its flow, its sound and its natural environment. 
As always, we try to bring in a touch of poetry, science fiction and fantasy.

This collaborative release aims to merge the universes and styles of different independent artists, as well as their communities. 
Comechelet wanted to collaborate with labels from various countries across the world to make the internet community around electronic music groups, and to show that geographical distance and international conflicts don't prevent artists from working together.

CRUDE Exclusive: Comechelet x Onixla - Химера

You are deep in the forest, deep in your mind.
Your fingers gently tie up the symbols, binding them one by one. You see how the rope intertwines their togetherness, and sound spawns from the constellation. Big rhythmic machines, huge biological patterns, together they form the sound of an ode. Until you unwind them, and leave.

Infinite time may pass, you forget their purpose.

But it's okay, they will wait for you here, until you decide to return
