The 26th release of katharsis is the album “Tech Tree” by the Danish Berlin-based artist Dj Mantis. The album expands the habitual ambient and experimental line of katharsis releases to a more trance and body-oriented direction with eight high-tempo smashers. With sounds ranging from muffling bass and high-tech staccato synths on the first premiere track “10 Elemental Masters” to the bewildering arpeggios, distant pads and hard kicks on “Recreational Programming”, Dj Mantis has created a spectacular output to stimulate your everyday with.

Mathis Ruffing’s Transatlantic debut cuts to the chase. This is getaway music, music designed to vaporise your long-dormant adrenal glands. ‘Skybox’ is made up of tracks that surge like quicksilver through veins, pulsing, flexing, relentlessly disciplined in execution. These tunes are crystalline and shimmering, eight sleek and streamlined club constructs rendered with what feels like the precision-engineering of some advanced alien DAW.

Opener ‘Ultranova’ hits like a cyborgian headbutt and refuses to let up. It’s followed by the one-two punch of the title track and ‘Hitherto’, which install cooling, gaseous pads and synths within breakneck drum&bassian exoskeletons. ‘Crater Edge’ and closer ‘Raytraced’ offer cryochamberesque respite from the cold-blooded fury enclosed within this release — well-earned breathing room in an album that takes hold with crisp and calculated force. Pure focus.

Stacktrace - Temperature

INTL.PDCOMP002 celebrates music’s boundlessness, sampling different flavours of dance music from around the world and fusing them together to form a cohesive whole. The eighth Pressure Dome compilation ties a common thread between hi-octane drum ‘n’ bass mutations and contemplative slow burners, capturing the sonic quality at Pressure Dome’s core as well as embodying our community ethos. Some faces familiar, and others soon-to-be; some hailing from as far afield as Melbourne and New York and others repping the other side of the pond in Switzerland and Ukraine, INTL.PDCOMP002 connects the dots, both between our international family members, and seemingly disparate corners of dance music. 

Some tracks are left to unfurl slowly, gently but assuredly taking up space amongst more high-energy club tools. On Azie, Ukrainian hardware fanatic Dubplanet X hones in on sound design, gradually introducing the complex soundscape’s every layer over a rhythm that cruises at 100BPM. DJ Durbin’s Defttime and Zara’s Zwer stay on the same tip: the former employing a tantalising melody evoking a windchime, and the latter comprising cavernous percussion and acid synths. On Broken Signs, Swiss newcomer Fels bolsters a dembow-inflected rhythm with a gnarly sub bass, whilst Rinse France resident Beatrice takes it to new extremes on Fortunately: a dubstep wobbler that harks back the genre’s golden age. 

Keeping on the hardcore continuum is Infinite Machine affiliate Design Default whose track Mecha Eden is a glitched-out d’n’b mutation that switches in and out of half-time. On the faster end of the spectrum, he is joined by Parisian producer Trois-Quarts Taxi System with the full-bodied dubwise steppa Sur le gouffre. And with our feet firmly planted on the dance floor, Elsa injects a healthy dose of playfulness into her propulsive techno iteration Left My Feelings, whilst Edinburgh’s LWS and NYC’s Tano embrace all things off-kilter. On Day 7, LWS deploys the mindfuck nature of Fever AM co-head honcho Rhyw’s music, whilst Tano’s Keep Your Distance harks more closely to Ploy with menacing vocal chops and an industrial sound palette.

https://maloca.bandcamp.com/album/speleogenesis

Wisconsin-based producer and drummer Chants (The Trilogy Tapes, Maximum Airtime, Astral Plane Recordings) meets master drummer Dave Schoepke on this all-drums LP for Brussels-based Maloca Records. ‘Speleogenesis’ blends live drumming with dub techniques and dancefloor-informed production, guided by imagery of a subterranean world. It’s a full-circle moment, as the two met when Chants (aka Jordan Cohen) took drum lessons from Schoepke during his teenage years.

The recording process began with Chants creating skeletal demos for Dave Schoepke to improvise on. Schoepke recorded many layers of drums and percussion, running some of them through his hardware synthesizers. Chants then shaped these recordings, resulting in the cavernous dub techno track ‘Pressure Slide’, the Brazilian-influenced ‘Ritmo Crudo’ and ‘Ritmo Puro’, and the uptempo, slippery dancehall dub of ‘The Quickstepper’.

Chants then assembled a new palette of samples from this core and constructed dancefloor-focused bangers like the hyperactive ‘Cyclone Rhythm’ and minimal 170 bpm ‘Rafter’, adding his own homegrown breakbeats. As the album took shape, the music kept evoking mental images of caves, tunnels, and underwater caverns that in turn influenced the final pieces. ‘Notes from Underground’ and ‘Speleogenesis’ present a more unfiltered view of Schoepke’s nuanced drumming. ‘Airbell Dub’ was also created using material from one of Schoepke’s meditative solo performances. Finally, ‘Cavernicole’ features both drummers in full duet mode, trading phrases over an insistent kick drum pulse.
