The Brvtalist is pleased to present a new track from Raum. “Dissent” is a high tempo, punishing work which was made specifically for the Black Lives Matter movement. From the artist:

Racism is a structural problem as much as it is a cultural one. It struck me long before George Floyd’s assassination and it always will. As I am happy the recent events will help raise more awareness worldwide, I am aware that our world now feeds on short lived news and trends, and that past the emotion which was triggered, the statements and the actions that are currently fashionable, most likely will be forgotten about and the world will rush to the next thing.

But racism won't stop when the protests die down and nothing will durably change until we develop a deeper consciousness of its deeply rooted mechanisms. Without guilt, without self-hatred, but with sincerity, soul and determination. Search and destroy.

Until we defy our fears and challenge our GAFAM-fucked brains nothing will change for good. It’s not the new cool thing out there and it's not an antiracist pose contest. It is a fundamental thing to do all the time. Search and destroy!

All sales benefits of this track will permanently be donated to BLM. Please buy it, share it, play loud and stomp hard on it. It's an ode to DISSENT as an healthy, legitimate and necessary thing. In a world that is always engaging further towards new forms of control, fear, division and totalitarian nightmares, dissent is the only way, and the first step to the decolonization of the souls. That's when the real fight begins. DISSENT!
