It is time to let go of your fear and doubts. You must learn to embrace the darkness of your soul, for it is a light beacon of hope for humanity. Your soul wants to show itself in its truest form, strength, perseverance, courage and determination of spirit. In this lifetime your soul needs to cleanse and open its feelings for katharsis.

With the double compilation “Infinite Summer: Ekstase & Fantasi”, katharsis celebrates the return of raves and concerts to society after a long period of pandemic shutdown. A magical summer has passed filled with an incredible pallet of emotional material, ready to be expressed. Therefore, we encouraged a collection of artists we adore to channel their imagination of the greatest way to conclude an endless summer night into a piece of music.

This resulted in a grand assemblage of harmonious manifestations, naturally splitting into two divisions with opposing focuses. On the first part of the duology “Ekstase” coming out on September 20th, we are presented with fourteen tracks for the dancefloor in an array of different styles, ranging everywhere from energetic morning vibes on the junglish opener “Origin, Gate's Dawn” by Yem Gel to hardcore sensations on Mang’s trap-infused roller “Based Halo”.

there was a time when Minecraft on creative mode was literally the most sacred place to be and “The Untold Saga” immediately transfers me to that profound memory.

i’m writing this note listening to “Saga” on my Apple Computer and the feeling of overwhelming, excitement is just so explicit.
with digital, almost angelic, Miyazaki Philharmonia Apu is inviting us into their layered, silky smooth, yet crunchy and granular world where everything is changing with each gesture. pure, flowing orchestra is so vibrant i can almost touch it. immersive sound design can be so bright i can almost see it.

i’m addicted to fidget toys and this EP happened to kinda be another one of mine. it’s Ghibli-like, full-of-surprises narrative without compromises refers to bubblegum club music, as well as enters into deeply personal soundtrack areas.

oh and btw can you imagine it's a debut EP?

"Solastalgia is a new concept developed to give greater meaning and clarity to environmentally induced distress. As opposed to nostalgia--the melancholia or homesickness experienced by individuals when separated from a loved home--solastalgia is the distress that is produced by environmental change impacting on people while they are directly connected to their home environment.
[…]
Worldwide, there is an increase in ecosystem distress syndromes matched by a corresponding increase in human distress syndromes. The specific role played by global-scale environmental challenges to 'sense of place' and identity will be explored in the future development of the concept of solastalgia."
