AGONY - REAL LIFE

@jsliwa
A blast from the past, an almost forgotten era, has resurrected from the vaults of old damaged hard disks and obliterated cloud storage. These digital artifacts have been dusted off and some have even gotten renovated or shined up a bit, to be resembled and released on katharsis. The duo J Sliwa brings us everything from classic euro-dance melodies on "Closer" to the hardcore psytrance vibes on "Dragonslayer" or highly energetic hyperpop sounds on "Higher". One thing is sure though - the whole thing goes harder than ever.

The 49th release of katharsis is the album “Underbearing” by Danish artist Zack Christ, coming out in full on February 10th. The album follows his 2024 album “𐘲(𐘨)𐚎𐘲𐝥𐃀𐘡𐘴𐝂.” released with the international artist collective glitch.cool, but takes a few steps away from his usual more cryptic expression by incorporating elements of crystalline clarity and stark four chord anthemic melodies. This clean sound design is juxtaposed by slightly out-of-tune vocals, obscure speech and saxophone(!) samples, and the at times anarchic compositional switch-ups.

Across its 9 tracks, “Underbearing” offers an emotional snapshot of a tumultuous time in the artist’s life, marked by loss and new beginnings. While the album resists strict thematic boundaries, it’s suffused with feelings of grief, transformation, and resilience. Layered with undertones of global and personal crises, the music captures a striking duality—holding both gravity and playfulness in equal measure. In this poignant rollercoaster of sound, meaning remains open, inviting the listener to explore their own interpretation of its vivid contrasts and complexities.

The Shapeshift Spaceship universe is transfuturistic. Being at the boundary of states is not an anomaly in this universe, but a starting point.

Shapeshifting is a method of applied radical imagination that, in the manner of afro- and other emancipatory -futurisms, uses the spatiotemporal immensity of the future and intergalactic distances to declare a transfuturistic universe free from conventional gender and taxonomic reasoning.

The central motif of the Shapeshift Spaceship project – emancipation through the transformation of one's own shape – has an age-old parallel in music: it too uses the principle of constant ephemeral change, rhythmed by repetition, to create its own elusively passing beauty with the extraordinary capacity to transform human emotions along with its own change. The possible maximum of this intoxication with music is a state of ecstatic rapture, a transformation directly experienced through the moving body, accompanied with the awareness of the expanded nature of existence as an indivisible continuum of all its interconnected parts.

With the participation of following shapeshifters, queer, FLINTA, enby and LGBTQQIP2SAA artists: Anthr0morph & Oliver Torr, El Pelele, Evil M, Hihelga, Pope Sangreta, IDKLANG, Technopagan, HrrHrrHrrr, Dj Würm

The compilation is released as an editorial selection curated by Šimon Kadlčák in collaboration with MeetFactory and speedcoretrew.

The project was supported by the Prague City Hall, the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, Prague 5 and the State Culture Fund.
