Sven Väth Announces First Solo Album In Almost 20 Years ‘Catharsis’

Sven Väth has announced his first new “solo” album in nearly 20 years. Titled Catharsis, the LP was produced with Gregor Tresher, a well-respected producer and part of the Cocoon family.

The album came about when the pandemic mostly halted his constant touring and marathon sets. Catharsis then seeks to explore the spiritual connection between dancing, music and the body.

"Dancing is a conversation between body and soul and it spiritually connects us with each other,” explains Väth. He also draws upon his lengthy career that has spanned decades.
