Honour - BEG 4 MERCY
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 122
Release Date: 09 December 2022
Purchase: PAN.lnk.to/BEG4MERCY

There's not much we can say about Honour that makes complete sense. They may or may not have grown up in the US, making beats with a cousin who sang in a church band; they might have toured as a roadie with platinum-selling R&B outfit Pretty Ricky before acing regional videogame tournaments and moving to NYC; they could have sold their life story to children's book author C.S. Adler and signed to Violator management; and maybe they ended up stationed in London, working as a runner on music promos. But however plausible it is, the breadcrumb trail provides us with a detailed cultural framework for "Beg 4 Mercy", a dense fog of pop and underground references that's as inescapable as it is enticing. It's a rare debut that engulfs even the most cautious listener, sweeping through tongue-in-cheek Wild West bravado and psychedelic, overdriven club rap, bifurcating into crumbly DIY noise and vaporous euphoric soul. Sometimes barbed and cynical, but just as often deliriously warm-hearted, it's a record of contradictions that's as puzzling to unpick as the artist's baffling backstory, imprinted with more hidden messages than a Renaissance painting. Who needs to play identity bingo when the art's screaming so loudly?

Production, writing, and composition by Honour

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.

The third and last single is premiered today, a deeply melancholic ballad starting with acoustic guitar chords and poignant vocal chops but ending with hard drums and overdriven synths.

Chlorine is the first track from @u_r_i_e_l 's debut EP, 'Divinity Reset' releasing on the 14th of October 2023

Forged as a product of their move from Portland to San Francisco the project is an unapologetic exploration of avant garde composition personified by angelic synth lines and dissonant atmosphere. URIEL reflects and meditates on restarting/redefining their personal life and musical efforts through the lens of a celestial world.

Written & Produced by Uriel (Jonathan Benz)

END OF LOVE — Dua Lity invite Malgré Moi

i have sex every day
I get high every way
play with my body every day
I'm a rockstar, baby, I'm a rockstar

i have sex every day
I get high every way
play with my body every day
I'm a rockstar, baby, I'm a rockstar

Tripping with jenny on the subway
The girls were looking my way (all day)
I thought nothing at all
I am rock hard
Baby, I'll stay rock hard

On the walk home
rain started to fall
hair got wet
dont care at all

through the mud 
i continue to walk
i dont care like a rockstar
i dont care like a rockstar

with the wet hair
dripping like a rockstar
I don't care
I get high like a rock star

I will hurt you but
you love me like a rockstar
Gonna hurt you
its my nature as a rockstar

Just shut up and fuck me,
Im a rockstar
Come get me high
Im a rockstar
Go hype me up
Im a rockstar
Go on take pictures
Im a rockstar

I have sex every day
Get high every way
Play with my body every day
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar
I have sex every day
Get high every way
Play with my body every day like a
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar
Im a rockstar, baby, Im a rockstar

I'm a rockstar

And I just wanted you to know that I think our love'll grow
