The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Talker. The Chicago project of Karl Meier and Jon Krohn, the duo has released some great material on Brvtalist favorite Downwards, and the minds behind the group recently launched their own imprint, Standards and Practices. New Brvtalism No. 108 is an infectious, mind bending journey, that also showcases the unrivaled DJ skills of Meier.
Battle Standards is the first EP on the new label and finds Talker at their best - with three tracks that are as rugged as the title implies. With an excellent combination of techno and industrial, these are built to crush the dance floor. Out now on Standards and Practices.
