Katabatik Kollektion 5

Holy living cavernosum okay children it’s time for your Ketamine lesson. What happens when the Syrens contract a virulent mutagenic laryngitis? They pick up drum machines and sample their hacking from behind the rocks, they release insect tessellations to click over the surface of your face, they unleash incredible tectonic suctions as escapes from inhospitable atmospheres: children prepare for Katabatik’s holographic mandibles to gum you to goo and spew you out again imbrued with the unsightly blood of black holes on your hands. Ingest.

From laser-driven submarinescapes to ass-rumpling bunchnoise, from the disorganized digital ramble of synthetic organisms splashed with infectious nano-laced acid to the washed-out neurotoxins of geometric planopods and aractechnoidal gas bladders buoying cro-magnons pounding 808s with neon paddles and soundtracks to innocents dumped in pre-dawn hitchhiker limbo, Kollektion V sees an incredible breadth of molluskular offerings poured from the vats in which Terpsichore deposits her sonic mayhem. We see the resurgence of Septentrion with a fist held high over the wastes; UAV hotwiring his NASA-dumpstered swampgear via genetic interface; Lacedon’s spliced analogs rerouted with Semen Emulators; we have here the familiar faces of subterranean west coast evildoers manning their electroidals in flame-retardant underwear, plus the knob-twiddlings of the inhabitants of more distant climes (figures whose variant masks have included Sleeparchive, Thee Source, Cohosh, Dimentia, Exillon, Kanopic Descent, Psychotigen, Seacrypt, Sere, Group Rhoda, Brotman and Short, Notstandskomittee, etc.), as well as new and ungodly cross-pollinations (special mention to the mysterious collaboration between laces and sneaker which is Abandoned Footwear for their contribution to converting our still-boring 2-D world into anime robo-color). 

Yes twenty-six tracks of inedible rhythm sequences regurgitated from the depths of the Spazdik hives. A swooping journey on downward-spiraling winds via Jacob’s Chute from the Sea of Imbrium past undead corpses pole dancing streetlamps and clambering on into the San Andreas Fault down into the bizarro sewers of your brain where you are dumped amongst tactile homographs to make your way home. From the depths raise a toast of burning Ozone to Djynnxx and Barrett for another sumptuous undermining of electronic music mores! Free download directly into corpus callosum:
