The final katharsis release of 2024 is the 26-track compilation “Physical Force” featuring a wide range of affiliated artists from both the international and local Copenhagen electronic music scene. As the title hints, Physical Force delves into the visceral, bodily aspects of music, inviting its contributors to explore the theme of movement as a central element in their compositions. Each artist was encouraged to focus on rhythm, groove, energy, and the physicality of sound, which resulted in drum-heavy release from start to finish. While there is a consistent emphasis on rhythm and a bodily connection to the music, the tracks vary widely in style and sonic texture, ranging from big melodic anthems, gritty experimental techno, heavy jungle bangers, and beyond.

Julek ploski’s ‘Give up Channel’ is on mappa. It’s the follow-up to the Poland-based FL Studio demon’s ‘Hotel *****’, released via Orange Milk in 2023.

It’s an album that wrestles against a shadow self. It’s about shelter from the hailstorm of unwanted memories and guilt pangs and serrated blades of thought. It’s about clinging on to some semblance of hope, knuckles taut and teeth gritted.

The fragmented drift of opener ‘Naysayer’ flows forward like an anxious daydream, pad eddies and piano plinks anchored by Trapaholics drops and bursts of guaracha drums. It’s a mess of mind: the bleakness of ‘Truth’ is punctuated by gun cocking and bullet spray and sudden jester-like blasts of unhinged, schizo-whimsical melody. An internal war without a clear winner.

Shame snakes through this music like venom through an emaciated body. Blue screenlight in a dark bedroom, pulsating temples, lockjaw. ‘Titanic’ hits like the thrashing resistance of a being built for love grappling against the scalding vengefulness it’s forced to contend with, the song’s abstracted rave synths giving way to warped voices and spiralling derangement. ‘Hollywood’ is a scarred battleground, the martial bludgeoning of a tightly wound hardstyle stomp blistering and shredding a delicate piano-and-string arrangement.

This music is about deep solitude, a meditation on simmering, slow-marinating hatred. But it’s ultimately about prevailing. It doesn’t revel in negativity, it roils and twists and writhes against it. Dots of light in oppressive darkness. Clarity and purpose against chaos and filth. It’s a struggle worth waging.

Dear A,

during these brain-freezing months of hardship and cold, my thoughts are drawn to my little, childhood room in my hometown where I’ve been exploring vast, unfamiliar, digital worlds…
I must admit I really miss those days… or at least those feelings.

Listening to “Age of Bloom” transfers me again and again to a certain memory of coming back from school in the late afternoon when everything is pitch black, when the snow is gently touching my hair and red cheeks, when the wind is blowing on my face and when being overwhelmed feels good - almost like blue steel’s softly lingering pads and his lush sounds inviting me for a dance.
The day was hard as fuck. Being trapped in the school system is usually a burden, but not in THIS EXACT moment. Not in the middle of an empty street, not in between those white snow curtains.
And so I run, imagining I’m in my safe, virtual world.

What for me usually is so seductive in video games is the music, and “Age of Bloom” with its mix of Akira-like finality, Spielbergish sense of adventure, and virtual utopian sound palette is literally fucking terraforming my soul as I'm listening to it.
So sick. So immersive.
It gives me the power to keep up and to try again in those hard moments - percussive patterns feel like a fight scene, watery keys make me contemplate, nature soundscapes envelop me in a yellow cocoon shell.

Life, my dear A, is a Skyrimish adventure in a way.
Remember the arrow perfectly smashing up your knee? It was just a mere limitation that you set yourself a long time ago when you buried that inner child. You need to try to find it again. Try and try and try.
And then you gonna beat that final boss and then you gonna beat that stupid, fucking, ugly, rotten life and then you WILL be complete again.

Remember, it’s dangerous to walk alone… so please take this album with you and treat it like a friend, like a backpack, like a companion.
