Econet by 3320eco

The 13th release of katharsis is the EP “Econet” by the artist 3320eco. Diverging a bit from the usual mellow ambient sound direction of the katharsis discography, the Danish debuting artist 3320eco brings a more club-oriented style of experimental electronic music to the label on this release. Throughout the seven tracks, the artist explores an array of classic and modern dance music genres including everything from early trance to bailefunk, trap and jungle.

On “Econet”, 3320eco draws on aesthetics from the 90’s PlayStation console games of his childhood, with the sounds of futuristic machines from high budget sci-fi movies like Transformers and Pacific Rim as the main inspiration for the sound design. Throughout the EP, the listeners are transformed into Gundam-like creatures soaring through the sky on tracks like “INKJET”, or walking through the deserted streets of an uncanny metropolis after an all-encompassing cataclysm on the outro and title track “ECONET”.

The artist states following about the release: “This record is a melting pot containing the over-the-top sound design of modern movies, references to video games and the sounds of dance music. It’s a collage featuring the best parts of subjects I find interesting and fascinating. It’s also a net of references to media I’ve grown up with, an amalgamation of my favorite things and concepts, resulting in music with some kind of cohesive expression.”
