Love is an emotional capacity without boundaries. It is the inherent beauty of life and light, flowing from within our body and mind. The alchemy of intimacy and devotion helps us to ascend from darkness, filling our soul with a clear radiant energy. Like a beaming star, our compassion and affection heal us by releasing our trauma in katharsis.

The compilation “No Limits, All Love” is the 12th release of katharsis, celebrating our first anniversary with 10 poignant tracks from artists novel to the label. With the title as a thematic starting point and additional references of gratitude, healing and growth, the contributing artists were invited to interpret their experiences of kathartic purgation and salvation through music.

To commence the compilation, the Egyptian Ma3azef-affiliated artist ABADIR engages us with his spellbinding track “Clearance”, before the British sound-designer Phrixus gets our bodies moving to his wonky “Unintentional Alchemy”. Debuting local Danish artist Bloszum takes the pace down again with the hypnotizing piano-infused hymn, “Beauty Is Only Crystal Deep”, followed by the daybreaking floater “Flamma” by Uruguayan artist Balas De Agua.

Subsequently, French producer Zero Crossing Point delivers a stellar spectrum of emotion on “Our Ascension” ahead of the sentimental receptacle of heartbreak on the track “Vesper” by French artist Awbluu. The energy dives deep into the trancelike state of our subliminal mind on Nexcyia’s “wrapped(up)”, as danish duo J Sliwa, consisting of label founder jjjacob and his partner in crime Lighyer, shoots for the stars with celestial cannons on the track “Light Is Within”. The compilation culminates in climax on the motivational rave-anthem “Don’t Be Sad” by the Swedish YEAR0001-affiliated duo Quit Life, before Santebela closes the album with grandiose piano phrases bathed in reverb on “save me”.

Los griegos a la  melancolía solían asociarla a la bilis negra, los cambios de humor y una tristeza sin explicación; Freud en Duelo y Melancolía trata la diferencia entre los objetos del inconsciente, cargas, transferencias, y todo un diagramatismo en el que la melancolía a diferencia del duelo, se caracteriza por la perdida pero no sabemos qué, lo que implica una tristeza profunda sin razón; ese objeto perdido se llevó una carga o una parte de ese sí mismo desconocido, de esas fuerzas que varían y fluctúan, atacan y desaparecen...

INDIVIDUAL DROPS by ICE_EYES is a cold-blooded showcase of dynamic sound organization, where sputtering shreds of sound cluster into larger scale rhythm units, before shattering into new formations once again. Sounds here are sliced, combed, atomized and always performing new acrobatics around the indeterminate no man's land of the rhythm-pitch transition zone, yet somehow never straying too far from advanced dancefloor-ready syncopations. 
The tonal medium of these broken rhythmic arrangements immediately suggests something trembling with cutting edge technological infrastructure, where harmonically dense pads evoke a long forgotten IDM cgi landscape, where hybridized sounds rattle through an elaborate piping system. Warbled mumblings remind us this music is still situated in the realm of the human, but one where every transmission first passes through a chain of paranoia, interception, re-encodings and subversive content barricades. 
The album is finished off with each track rearranged once again by a handful of masterful remixers. 

ICE_EYES about INDIVIDUAL DROPS 
“In seeking of new challenges, our latest work Individual Drops, is focusing on new evolving sonic material from a more microscopic point of view, by integrating more obvious granular synthesis ideas. The purpose is to create a new formula that works both in sculpting sound design, and the same time respects our dystopian orientation as an archetype. At this point, we engage more intensive, ever changing, faintly anorgasmic, sonic motifs, that work as a guidebook to an overall fragmented picture. 
Arcadia, as an art form that can be used as a metaphor of utopia, is always present at the background of that image, holding all parts together, like an anchor in a turbulent sea, resembling the Argo floating on these angry waters. Space or Khoros is a variable of time balancing from small to large places, but not in an paternal way. Granular synthesis at its core, forming each sound in a discrete way, like a drop of rain falling in a pit of clear water.”
