If I Had Wings - Treglia (Dublab Mix)

xquisite releases is ecstatic to present PARIDAIZA the new release by susu laroche. @tsvsvnami

the singular style of laroche’s sound comes to a calamitous head in PARIDAIZA, forging the basis of a sound the artist calls ‘dungeon debke’. 

the dungeon is felt, the walls and claustraphobia of emotion and darkness are eminating from each track but something is trancended and a place that could have meant torture or imprisonment becomes an escape into the beauty of ritual meditation and immanence.

the chants and calls that haunt laroche’s music recontextualise words from such sources as the ancient poet Rumi and the protest chants of the arab spring, melting the history and present of the middle east into a sonic tapestry of insurgence and spirituality that hypnotises.

laroche evokes queen tamar, first king/queen of georgia to renounce the gendering of her title. in PARIDAIZA susu takes as patron this figure of ancient rebellion.

Written, Produced, Performed and Mixed by Susu Laroche

The second katharsis release of the year is the EP “Chasms Where Streams Fall And Disperse” by Italian artist POL100, coming out on February 28th. On its five tracks, POL100 takes you on a deep reflective journey through his meditative sound design, by combining uncanny airy pads with stuttering effects and delicate synth melodies.

With each track named after a mineral, the artist aims to interpret how the flow of water sliding through the rocky veins of the earth creates unique textural objects. The technological nature of our planet is embodied by digital and organic ambiances throughout the EP. This very ambient sound expression is novel to the artist, whose latest release was the intense clubby EP “Sepsis” on Bound Centre in September 2020.

“Sub Rosa” is Dominio’s first compilation album since the beginning of its publishing activity as an independent label at the beginning of this year. It features contributions from a list of both old and new friends of the collective which have performed at some of the different concerts that they have organised over the last two years. “Sub Rosa” is a reflection of Dominio’s strong commitment with their local scene as much as their search for a wider projection through international connections. Ultimately, their goal is to stimulate a dialogue between their particular context and the rest of the world. The presence in this album of a high number of collaborative pieces is, too, a crystallisation of this dialogue. Most of these collaborations were created by correspondence during the 2020 March-August period, and shall provide a sample of the constant appearance, evolution and reshaping of projects around the collective.

The figures displayed in the album cover are the work of the Valencia-based sculptor Claudia Dyboski (IG: @dyboski).

The ninth release of katharsis is the EP “Journey Before Destination” by jjjacob, which is the first full release of the label founder on his own label. The EP spans six tracks and is quite a deviation in sound from his earlier releases on labels such as ANBA, high heal and Sweat Taste. Taking a step away from his usual tools of heavily automated synths and complex midi-based melodies, this EP focuses closely on recordings of acoustic instruments and vocals done by jjjacob himself throughout the pandemic year.

With titles and themes of “Journey Before Destination” drawing severely on The Stormlight Archive novel-series by Brandon Sanderson, the listener is taken on a dreamy trip through medieval landscapes and emotional worldbuilding. The sounds of heroic struggles, poignant pilgrimages and mystical creatures are carried through on the six tracks of the album by its melancholic piano phrases, processed guitar stretches and manipulated vocals. However, even though the acoustic instruments seem to be a change of expression for jjjacob, the recognizable layer of weird samples, field recordings and sound effects that usually pervade his music still flow through the whole EP.
