Peter Kirn - "What We Forged Now" Video Premiere

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Peter Kirn. The U.S.-born, Berlin-based artist has been very active in his adoptive home with ongoing collaborations orbiting Wunderblock’s Moscow HQ. Chameleonic multitasker, electronic music composer and technologist, he has imagined a densely-packed, driving, dark form of cinematic techno experiments for his new EP, Objectors. The extended release mixes dreamlike harmonies and polyrhythms with aggressive, speedy subterranean techno, packed with unapologetically dirty and complex noises. Today we present “What We Forged Now” a relentless, celestial storm of abstract techno and extraterrestrial electronics. The video by Perceptual Automaton brings otherworldly visuals to this powerful composition.

The EP also features two strong remixes, one from Brvtalist favorite OCD and the other from Ukranian Danny Skripp. Pick yours up now from Wunderblock Records at: https://wunderblock.bandcamp.com/album/objectors-wr088

New Brvtalism No. 219 - Olivia

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Olivia. The Polish artist initially became known as a resident of the world renown Unsound Festival and a leading figure of the Krakow underground through the We Are Radar party collective. She quickly rose to international prominence with her razor sharp mixes and productions. Inspired by the sounds of the 1980’s, Olivia journeys through angular acid, loose-limbed electro, futuristic Motor City techno, concrete-clad industrial music, surging EBM, twisted Italo, glacial cold wave and metallic new wave.

Today, Olivia has her hands in many projects, collectives and live performance projects. These include Morskie Oko (a hybrid live/DJ project with Chino and Steffan Bennemann), Radiation 30376 (a live show with Chino that debuted at Unsound 2019) and Chrono Bross, a collaborative initiative with Kinzo Chrome. She also recently joined the Oramics collective, a Polish initiative supporting the visibility of women and non-binary artists.

Olivia’s work quickly caught our attention and we are thrilled to have this entry to our series which puts her unique sound and technical prowess on full display. For more visit Resident Advisor and follow Olivia on Instagram.
