Horo is a label that knows how to push the envelope when it comes to forward thinking electronic music, and today we’re premiering a track from DiNT’s latest release, Hooker Remixed.
Codex Empire’s take on “Skewer Shovel” is a track which takes the screeching sounds and harrowing repetitive vocals from “Shovel” and combines them with the infectious rhythms of “Skewer”, all the while the experimental touch of Codex Empire guides us and transforms a challenging track into a slamming dance floor ready favorite.
Here is what DiNT told us about the collaboration with Codex Empire:
DiNT DJ sets have been full of Codex Empire tracks, so Mark was first on our list of remixers for the Hooker EP. Instead of picking one track to remix, he worked elements of 2 tracks together to our delight. The results are exactly what we hoped for, like a looping nightmare with enormous kick drums. Hearing this played by Pact Infernal at Berghain was a satisfying moment. We thank Mark for his reinterpretation.
Hooker and Hooker Remixed EPs will go out on Horo on March 9th featuring some amazing artwork designed by Thomas Martin Ekelund (Trepaneringsritualen).

The fashion week calendar is perhaps the most punishing on the globe and the Autumn/Winter shows in London and Milan are the latest to showcase what we'll be wearing next. Starting in London, there is always a mix of British heritage, punk rock and the avant-garde. I suppose we have a little of each today with a striking, architectural collection from Chalayan, haunting, dark replicants from Gareth Pugh and the queen, Pam Hogg, is still show us how it's done.

MILAN
This week in Milan has seen some real media favorites with the big fashion houses staging some epic productions. Milan always offers an interesting grab bag of Italian glamour with nightclub looks and some weird mixed in. Not quite the sophistication of Paris but I'm always surprised by something. While we don't normally like to feature the mega-brands, those really stuck out this week with nice presentations from Versace, Prada and ok fine, we will include the Gucci heads, which were six months in the making.

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Ana Roman. The New York City-based sound artist is an accomplished producer, performer and hybrid-DJ, incorporating genres and sounds from all corners of the globe into her work. A classically trained pianist, Roman utilizes drum machines, vocal pedals and harmonizer loops to craft her unique vision of deconstructed, cerebral compositions that frequently challenge the listener and are not for the faint of heart. New Brvtalism No. 131 is an exquisite look inside the mind of the artist and an intimate journey through her sound.
Set to launch her new project and album later this year, if you are in New York, be sure to catch Roman here:

We are pleased to premiere a new track from Max Durante. "EX-PO6" (with Retina.it), comes off the artist's first full length release, The Experiment, out this month on Kynant Records. For Durante, this 2xLP comes after a prolific 30 year career, beginning as an early innovator of the rave scene in Rome to producing techno, IDM, electro and industrial. After releasing some classic singles and EPs on labels like Sonic Groove and Kynant, The Experiment shows Durante's wide-ranging skill and technique. From the ambient explorations of EX-PO1 to the drilling, techno mutations of our track today and another killer with fellow Italian Fabrizio D'arcangelo.
With its dark undertones and subversive moods, this is a stellar first full length with an immense energy and impressive breadth of sounds. For more visit: http://kynantrecords.com/
