STAY RAGE

The 33rd release of katharsis is the EP “unearthed, recovered” by the Canadian artist online threat. This release pulls from the dissociated feeling of re-discovering artifacts of remembrance that were once thought to be forever lost, and finding a glimmer of hope as a result. The project accesses a flurry of genres - hard trance, noise, and ambient all find a place here, packing contradicting sounds together in order to birth new sonic possibilities. “unearthed, recovered” is emotional, grotesque and at moments beautiful with its sense of longing and melancholy, a crescendo of tensions followed by an exhale.

On this release, online threat excavates the hidden sonic potentialities of field recordings, samples and synthesis, borrowing their voices to spin immersive narrative tales through his stream-of-consciousness improvisational method. The EP is the artist's third release, following the EP “Memories of Dawns Lost” and the full album “Contrapuntal Transfiguration” on labels surf and Absurd TRAX, besides a couple of self-released tracks and mixfiles. The artwork was made by Matej Mihevc (@h.265_/) who framed and contextualized a painting by Victoria Palacios (@victoriapalacios_), reflecting the sense of decay and reminiscence that the album thematizes.

premiere: online threat -  acceptance of fate

Following Helsinki-based producer Tari’s (Taras Protchenko) collaborations with Allison Data over the recent years, he presents a debut EP and World Canvas label debut in the form of ‘exp./ moments’, a release of three original electronic compositions.
Tari’s musical direction is guided and informed by overarching motifs of sentimentality: The release’s songs bring together harmonies interwoven with voices carrying a sense of disembodiment, while reaching for something in the close vicinity and further in the distance. The EP’s songs display Tari’s sense for sparse yet detailed and determined harmonic and ambient sonic movements, which present themselves as a body of work, reminiscent of a space of scattered lushness and dissolving boundaries.
The release comes with a remix by Tari’s close friends and collaborators Queendyster, Allison Data and Acedia & features an original photography by Boris Protchenko.

Evian Christ - without your love

Introducing Ultra Instinct with their cover of Marcy Playground's "Opium." A collaboration between Steph Kretowicz and Ben Babbitt, the Los Angeles-based duo’s busted tragic loser pop draws on spoken word text, collaged field recordings, and live-mangled CDJ edits of original tracks to explore the time-tested ritual of combining words and song.
