Mass Experience Shares a new album ‘Pleasure And Purge’
Mass Experience has signed a multi-album deal with Universal Music Group, InGrooves, and WorldSound. “Pleasure And Purge” is Mass Experience’s synth-infused love language and story of overcoming by two longtime club comrades. Pairing early 90’s rave, indie-electronica, and 60’s inspired psychedelia, Mass Experience comes out of a desire to keep people of all ages and backgrounds inspired. Co-producers, Katie M. Little and Timothy Poulton take their love language to unique dimensions within a world of minimal house and electronically percussive soundscapes. They signal to the importance of strong melodic components with an enticing storyline throughout their upcoming nine-track LP.
‘Pleasure And Purge’ is the second Mass Experience album. The follow up to ‘Sitting with Demons’ was about not being able to run away from uncomfortable situations or feelings, while this new album is about discovering how to heal yourself and remembering how to feel joy. This is clear based on the uplifting lyricism that Katie weaves effortlessly throughout the project.
“I basically had a nervous breakdown after both my parents died and had to figure out how to put the pieces of myself back together. I lost all my confidence, inspiration, and faith in my intuition which has always been my compass in life,” Katie says. ‘Pleasure And Purge’ is my journey through what I call the “awfulness”, rebelling against shame, rediscovering beauty and my playful nature.”
Opening tracks like ‘Mother’, ‘Take Me Away,’ ‘Pleasure And Purge’ and ‘Rise Up’ (the first released single) allow love to pour in and force any self-deprecation to take a backseat. Listeners are caressed by the bright synthesizers, vocal messages of positivity, and dance to glitchy-rawness: some core elements of sound that are part of Mass Experience’s shared imagination.
‘Visions’ is the halfway point of the project, delineating a deep connection to the greater source. DJs and producers alike will come to appreciate the narrative woven within this project, as the 6th track ‘Born Trippin’ is a plot twist to the storyline. The chaotic elements of life are remembered, and the lead narrator becomes swept away by its challenge. It’s tormenting and beautiful at the same time.
’The one thing that’s gotten me through the hardest moments of my life has been honesty. As dark as the purge of awfulness was, I stuck to the philosophy that all I could be was honest. I only took on creative work where I felt safe…whenever I release new music something amazing happens in my life, so I’m very excited to release this album ‘Pleasure And Purge’ because it has some beautiful healing tracks on it, particularly the final track ‘The Sun’ which I wrote about my best friend and my husband, without whom I could never have found my way through,’’ Katie says.
It’s clear that Mass Experience has a passion and purpose that constantly stokes their internal fire. The music is not only brilliant, but it is nostalgic and familiar even for new listeners. Mass Experience is thrilled to bring this new sound and energy back to dance floors and digital streamers across the globe.

“Bermuda Triangle” by Lexi Berg shares haunting echoes of feeling lost
Lexi Berg delivers yet another heart-stirring masterpiece with her latest single, “Bermuda Triangle,” a stunning emotional ballad that dives deep into the heart of feeling like an outsider. Born in Stockholm and raised on a houseboat, Lexi’s distinct upbringing gives her music an unorthodox yet deeply evocative edge. Following the success of her previous release, “Lonely Satellite,” this mesmerizing track showcases her evolution as an artist and storyteller.
Co-written with the acclaimed hitmakers Jim Eliot and Grammy-winning Jimmy Hogarth, “Bermuda Triangle” beautifully represents an artful exploration of what it means to feel adrift, yearning for connection in an increasingly isolating world yet unable to find it fully. The song commences with delicate classical piano melodies that establish a reflective ambiance, allowing Lexi’s haunting vocals to take center stage, laying the foundation for the intimate vulnerability that unfolds. As she sings, the audience feels lost in the whirlpools of her emotional core, capturing the feeling of being unseen and unheard while longing for acknowledgment and understanding amidst the chaos of life.
Lexi’s intricate production and poignant instrumental delivery set her apart today’s music landscape, projecting her undeniable songwriting skills like a lighthouse beam in the fog. Each lyric gives the song an almost confessional atmosphere, as Lexi articulates internal struggles that can seem as vast and mysterious as the “Bermuda Triangle” itself.
The metaphoric use of space imagery conveys the profundity of her emotions, evoking a sense of floating in a void where feelings run deep, but words seem inadequate. The song’s powerful crescendo creates a magnetic moment of enchantment, leaving listeners both breathless and aching for more.
In the constantly spinning “Bermuda Triangle,” Lexi Berg taps into the rising swell of emotional alienation, crafting a ballad that resonates universally and lingers in the heart long after the final note. It’s a compelling reminder that sometimes, even in our loneliness, genuine isolation is not inevitable. Embracing the opportunity to immerse oneself in Lexi Berg’s enchanting world is an experience not to be missed.
