Katran – Structures Of Chaos (Digital/Vinyl EP – Depth Request)
Serbian artist Darko Kolar, known for his work with Ontal, has also carved out a distinct identity with his solo project, Katran. His debut album, “Above The Concrete”, was released on Hands in 2022, followed by several EPs—the latest being “Structures Of Chaos”.
Katran’s sound remains deeply rooted in Dark-Techno while drawing strong influences from the Industrial landscape. At times, it ventures into Experimental territory, yet its driving, hard-hitting Industrial beats are undeniably made for movement. Repetitive loops seamlessly integrate into the sonic framework, reinforcing the hypnotic intensity. The EP closes with a remix by 6SISS.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind if it leaned even further into its Industrial side, but the pervasive dark atmosphere more than compensates. (Rating:6½).

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
