P100 w/ S S S S + Ausschuss

This Friday, October 4th, music, art and fashion collide at the second edition of an event series curated by Jakub Kubica and Oli Schrei Doch (ORDEN) at the Trippen Concept Store P100 in Berlin. Following up on last month’s excellent event which featured a dance performance by Valentin Tszin and DJ set by Bonnie, Friday’s event will host producer S S S S and local and international DJ Ausschuss. This will sure to be an outstanding evening, experiencing music outside of the typical club context and set within the walls of Trippen’s experimental project space. (more info below)

Details: 19-22hr. 5€ artist donation. RSVP on Facebook.

Samuel Savenberg / S S S S is a producer and musician working in the wider fields of Electronic Music. He is based in Berne, Switzerland.

It’s not that easy to have Savenberg pigeon-holed. While other producers start a new project and use a new monicker with every time they change the bass-line preset, Savenberg is stubborn enough to just release his musical output all under his one helmet, sonically ranging from Broken-Beats to hauntingly quiet Melody-driven compositions. For Savenberg it’s all the same process and he refuses to indicate a hierarchy of sound or performance site.

Locally known for his sets at Berghain's Säule and globally valued by names like Off-White and Nike for his musical output, Berlin-based producer and DJ Ausschuss will join Trippen’s event twice. Before and after S S S S’ live performance he will select tracks that might show us what those two artists have in common and what not. The commonalities will probably prevail, since both S S S S and Ausschuss released on Milan’s Haunter Records which does demand a (un)certain eagerness to experiment and destroy. Come by to find out what this could mean. We will do the same.

Hosted by Trippen

New Brvtalism No. 198 - OCD

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from OCD. One of our favorite emerging artists, OCD means inding pleasure in modern rhythms and gratification from overwhelming emotions. Her mission is to create outside of the safe state of rigidness and turn people’s fear of information overload into rage. OCD will bring you into an oneiric state where everything is out of control and too fast — a metaphor of our ages.

New Brvtalism No. 198 sees the producer, DJ and resident of Gegen Berlin deliver an absolutely crushing mix, making her way through the hardest corners of techno, industrial, acid and far beyond.

fabric XX: British Murder Boys (Live)

Few clubs are as iconic as London’s fabric. A staple of the global dance music circuit since 1999, the venue has hosted many of the world’s most renown DJ’s and producers as well as showcased some of the best rising talent over that period. 2019 is fabric’s 20th year and to mark the occasion the club has put together an impressive string of events for its Birthday month.

On October 24th, fabric hosts a live performance from one of techno’s most seminal outfits, British Murder Boys. Surgeon and Regis come together to bring their brand of industrial to Room One’s Martin Audio sound system. Individually, the pair became renowned for pioneering a strain of heavyweight, no-holds-barred techno though the late 90s, helping to lay the foundations for a scene that’s still thriving today. In the early 2000’s they united to put out a string of abrasive club weapons as British Murder Boys, most of which landed via their respective labels, Counterbalance and Downwards. They’ve since revived the project to perform a string of live gigs, where they showcase the same kind of noisy industrialist fare they’re best known for. This October, they come together in Farringdon for the first time for a special Thursday night XX session. Joining them is Samuel Kerridge, who prepares to air his new audio-visual live set in collaboration with Taylor Burch. Having recently joined forces for the experimentalist ‘The Other’ LP on Regis’ Downwards label, they’re currently linking up for a series of performances across Europe which recently included a main stage show at Berlin Atonal. The bill is rounded out with local (and Brvtalist) favorite who’s been turning heads with her individualist approach to blending EBM, industrial, new wave and its offshoot styles, Faux Naïf.

A very special event at one of dance and electronic music’s most legendary venues. Tickets are on sale now and you can pick them up right here on Resident Advisor.

Umberto - "Exit" Video Premiere

Happy Friday the 13th. Today, The Brvtalist is proud to premiere a new video from Umberto. Directed by Jan Schulze Beckendorf, the video can be described as a raver girl in a Brothers Grimm world. Dive in to this eerie tale that recalls everything from the expressionism of Fritz Lang to mindfuck movies of the 90s, drugs and initiation myths of Joseph Campbell. “Exit” comes off the forthcoming EP, Outskirts of Reno (Giallo Disco Records), which sees Umberto in top form. One of the most important names of the second wave of Horror Synth, the artist is at the top of the class when talking about anything from soundtracks to EBM and more. Outskirts of Reno takes us deep into the seedy underbelly of a kidnapping and the result is one of the most chilling EPs you will hear all year. Pre-order the record at: https://giallodiscorecords.bandcamp.com/

Katie Gallagher S/S 2020 - Bath House

Longtime favorite designer and collaborator Katie Gallagher returns with a haunting new collection for Spring/Sumer 2020. Titled Bath House, the designer was inspired by the famed fashion photo series by Deborah Turbeville (1923-2013). The swimwear focused line pays homage to the eerie, oppressed atmospheres while including Kallagher’s signature safety pin embellishments, bows and other precision details which demonstrate the designer’s eye for the obscure. We also appreciate her dark, moody pieces and it’s brilliantly infused into swimwear here. Bath House is Gallagher’s 21st collection and we continue to celebrate her independent ethos and ever evolving body of work. For more visit: www.katiegallagher.com

[ Afangar; ] A Short Film from JULIUS_

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new short film from JULIUS_. Directed by Gota Yonekura, the film accompanies the label’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection titled [ Afangar; ], which looks at the relationship between humans, nature and the spirit world. A beautiful and meditative collection, the fabrics chosen evoke the disorderly and organic character of the natural world, bringing to mind the textures of tree bark, mud, and weathered rocks. The shapes are twisted and contorted like the branches of a giant tree. The silhouettes carry the mass of crushed earth, yet breathes with lifelike luscious foliage quivering in the wind.

The models who wear the clothing are modern priests engaging in a Shinto ritual as in the present time, every person is a priest, an artist. The jewelry worn is made from clay and straw and are placed across the body as a catalyst for communicating with spirits. This collection does not limit itself to presenting Nature through the intermediary of animism.

The title means “hybrid” in Malagasy and the designer was heavily influenced by the art movements of the 60s and 70s. Joseph Beuys, whose body of work has a heavy focus on the dialogue with spirits, also comes to mind. Along with him, land art, a movement born from an America that rid itself of capitalism, is also a driving force.

Consistently one of our favorite designers, JULIUS_ shows once again that his works elevate beyond the constraints of fashion and examine our relationship with technology, nature and realms beyond our perception. http://www.julius-garden.jp/
