Mass Experience Shares a new album ‘Pleasure And Purge’

Mass Experience

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.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
