The 36th release of katharsis is the EP “be there” by Belgian artist leop4rdi, coming out on September 4th. Throughout its six tracks, the artist shows off his unique blend of granular synths, etheric vocals, emo guitar riffs, and smashing rocky drums. This infusion of his cute kitsch vibes with obscure spiritual icons and cryptic intelligence results in a unique aesthetic represented on the artwork created by label boss jjjacob.

The EP is the second full release by the Brussel-based artist, following his stellar EP “a process of learning and understanding” on the magnificent label and collective Soul Feeder in January this year. His alternative approach and very personal style shine through on “be there” as well, the titles of the tracks representing intuitive associations from the artist's mind.

Three singles were premiered prior to the full release, "Out Of My Skin" - a beautiful sonic journey of emotive acoustic guitar, bit-crushed vocal wails, playful synths, and powerful percussion, secondly the downtempo & bouncy though aggressively distorted track "Focus!" with a feel of melancholic overtones and struggling attention, and thirdly the deeply melancholic ballad "Essence" starting with acoustic guitar chords and poignant vocal chops but ending with hard drums and overdriven synths.
