RougeHotel - Yedora's Music Catalog (TAR024)

On ‘Yedora’s Music Catalog’, RougeHotel renders a world of uncanny beauty, where crackles of the divine commune with earthly grit. A world within, where blown out melodies echo through foggy moors and pads n synths are redlined to reveal the harshness at the core of the crystalline prettiness.

This album extends an antennae to the noise, with opener ‘Gruulsignet’ chasing signals in the roil and capturing divine voices in the static. The caustic swirl of ‘Yedora’ and ‘Foil’ are disrupted by glimmering, otherworldly transmissions, heartstopping melodic bursts breaking through like beams of concentrated light through a dark, gnarled wilderness. But it’s on ‘Rhystic Study’ and ‘Choral Chaos Re-Drum’ where the light is forged into form — d&b-inflected slappers that go off like they’re transcribed from ancient druidic runes. The road is long and perilous, so consider this album an amulet, a protective charm, a talisman. This is pathfinder music.

RougeHotel - Foil

Social medias are full of videos in which animals interact with humans. 
They give us a sense of temporary well-being, of comfort, or even satisfaction, a dose of serotonin. 
But all of that awakens in me a deep and very special feeling of anxiety, as I'm suddenly aware of the mass alienation of the internet-scrollers, who voluntarily and happily comply to this. 
More than that, in the background of these videos, there is always and always the same music tunes.
People rarely try to listen to new original stuff, beyond what's directly available. 
Surely, however, the popular music tunes that they use help them getting more views when combined with images full of cuteness and love.

This opus is a criticism of the backward yet abundant consumption of viral videos, of how they're part of a form of deculturation, while in the same time providing temporarily wellness and comfort to our brains.

Invitée Spéciale — vendredear

FLORAS is the new album from katharsis founder jjjacob, releasing on May 21st to mark the five-year anniversary of the label’s first output. A celebration shaped by time, patience, and transformation, FLORAS is an assemblage of seven tracks - each with its history. The oldest dates back to 2018; the newest bloomed only months ago. Initially intended for other projects or collaborations that never fully took root, these compositions have been reworked, reimagined, and refined - transformed by years of quiet attention. Stylistically, the release moves between the physical and the introspective - crushed drumbreaks, poignant basslines, grand synth melodies, and obscure granular vocals.

Each track is like an ancient, fluorescent flower rediscovered in a distant cave, alien in form yet deeply familiar. Cyclical in structure, they mirror the seasonal processes: emerging, flourishing, decaying, returning. There’s a strange botanical logic at play, as patterns and shapes reappear like genetic echoes, and even discarded stems sprout new life. Melodic ideas and textural procedures reverberate across tracks like shared ancestral material, connecting them like a hidden underground network. Some tracks still bear traces of feedback or collaboration that never fully materialized - ghost limbs and branches that helped shape the whole.

Built from ambient textures, hard-hitting percussion, and sonic details that reward deep listening, FLORAS is a meditation on growth, time, and potential. The release reflects not only a shift in jjjacob’s personal process, but also a new chapter for katharsis itself: after five years of near-monthly releases, the label now turns toward a slower rhythm - giving each release more space to breathe, settle, and take root before moving on.

From @ssssofiiiii 's new EP "I want this feeling to last forever"

Stream & download: push.fm/fl/iwtftlfep

Emerging artist sofii, also known as Sophie Koella, announces her deeply personal debut EP I want this feeling to last forever, a self-produced meditation of 4 songs on emotion, memory, and the echoes of the unlived. Born from the necessity to process, the project weaves classical elegance, electronic textures, and lyrical repetition into a trance-like exploration of nostalgia: past, present and future.

Born in New Orleans to a French guitarist (who used to play with Bob Dylan) and an American mother, sofii’s life has been scored by contrasts: ballet and classic music discipline, jazz’s improvisation, and the restless energy of cities like NYC and Paris where she cut her teeth in its underground scene. After years modelling and djing, she stepped into music direction for Courrèges alongside Erwan Sene before claiming her voice as a solo producer. In 2024 she co-founded the Paris collective and event series More Hard Feelings alongside Emma DJ, Julia Lemaire, and Matière Noire inviting the likes of Skrillex, Varg2TM, Safety Trance and Bill Kouligas.

The EP’s lead single and title track is released with the album announcement with a music video. She elaborates:’Iwtftlf’ is a song about nostalgia for something we don’t yet know or have lived—also known as anemoia. It’s about a moment in time that stands perfectly still, a fraction of a second we wish would never end. This stillness, this calm before the storm, is at the heart of the track. It portrays a story suspended between the lived and the unlived, a memory that doesn’t belong to us yet aches like it’s already gone.

As for the rest of the EP, “Cry for Me” (reimagined with Greek producer Raed Raees) layers vocals like a cleansing tide, dissolving into a piano finale that nods to Sofii’s classical roots. The mantra “say it over” loops, invoking meditation’s rhythmic solace. “Remember“, penned in Paris, twists a crisis-born text message into pulsing synths and the EP’s only percussive heartbeat. And “Pocket Dial” samples a 3-minute voicemail from sofii’s grandmother—an accidental, aching relic of connection—set to wordless strings and synth.
