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.

Jeppediinho Unlocks a New Era of Melodic EDM Brilliance With His Captivating New Album “Games of Life”
Jeppediinho‘s new album, Games of Life, is a 46-minute, 13-track journey through self-discovery, freedom, and the highs and lows that shape us. It is powerful, emotionally charged, and uplifting. Jeppediinho makes an album that is full of melodic storytelling and dance-floor-ready energy by mixing the sounds that shaped his childhood, like Avicii’s euphoric style and the golden age of house music.
Four great singles set the tone for what listeners could expect before the full release. Emotion, movement, and meaning. “Feels So Good,” the new lead track, is filled with joy and captures the moment when you finally feel alive again after battling your own demons. The first song on the album is warm, melodic, and catchy, drawing listeners quickly into Jeppediinho’s world. “Lost in My Mind” is another excellent song that seamlessly blends melodic EDM energy with heartfelt lyrics. The song is about overthinking and how to get out of your own head.
Its atmospheric build and punchy drop make it one of the most relatable and energizing songs on the album. “What’s Your Mentality?” is a fast-paced song by Jeppediinho that maintains momentum. It talks about mental strength, determination, and resilience.
With its strong drop and uplifting production, it gives the album’s emotional arc a boost of motivation. After listening to the entire album, two songs immediately stood out: “Find Myself” and “Coming Back.” These songs add emotional depth to the project’s themes of personal growth and returning to your true self. They also show Jeppediinho’s ability to balance introspection with high-energy production. Games of Life is a musical diary of our victories, failures, and the times that shape who we are.
