Mala Herba - "Dawaj" Video Premiere

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new music video from Mala Herba. “Dawaj” gives a little taste of their upcoming vinyl debut on Aufname+Widergabe and the track, which is inspired by cold, hazy and mysterious landscapes of Eastern Europe, steers towards dark and industrial techno, merging darkwave and trance. However, the key elements of Mala Herba’s sound are still there: relentless bass lines, witchy vocals, and ghostly archival samples. Their music reimagines archives, in a hauntological manner. The video is a collage of the artist’s coded visuals and LdJ ghostly animated graphics, conjuring abstract, haunted landscapes. As usually, we were put under the spell of Mala Herba’s power, mystic sound.

You can pick up the single now at: https://malaherba.bandcamp.com/track/dawaj

Khazad V/A Vol. 1

The Brvtalist is proud to premiere two tracks from the first various artists compilation on Khazad Records. Today we present Samantha Togni’s “Sleet” and Balrog’s “Northern Steel”. Both selections exemplify the crushing, floor destroying works off this 22-track comp which also includes Brvtalist favorites OCD, Kaylah, Nanø Rinnegatø and more. We were instantly drawn to Togni’s high speed, mechanical madness and Balrog’s rolling, pulverizing rhythms which flatten everything in its path. This is a great introduction to the label and contains a full arsenal of weapons from the powerful European renaissance of industrialized techno and beyond.

Tapefeed - Boldfinger (Killawatt Remix) (Metempsychosis)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Tapefeed. The London-base duo returns to Metempsychosis for the EP, Ruled By Blondes, a personal protest to a historical and political time of injustice and disunity. An act of rebellion toward unfair governments and the dishonesty who leads them. The EP contains two originals and two powerful remixes, by Answer Code Request and Killawatt, which we present today. Killawatt’s hard hitting grooves and signature splintered sound build on the track’s already great message and mood. This is a strong release to help us rally and unite against our oppressors!

Out April 2nd, 2020 on Metempsychosis. Pick yours up at: https://metempsychosisrecords.bandcamp.com/

SDBX - "Stupid Sucker" Video Premiere

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere the music video for “Stupid Sucker” by SDBX. This has been one of our favorite tracks off the recently released Warhorse IV compilation which came out last month on Scuderia, and I was playing this one out quite a bit since I got my hands on it. Dripping with the label’s techno, hardcore and rave sounds, “Stupid Sucker” also has an iconic sample from a West Coast legend near and dear to our hearts. Directed by Malika Maria, the video is a relentless barrage of visual stimulants which will leave you entranced on a blood soaked floor.

Warhouse IV is out now and you can pick it up through Scuderia.

Berlin Collective Action: Nightlife Emergency Fund

This epidemic “is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should too”. - Bill Gates

In these strange and difficult times, nightlife organization Berlin Collective Action, along with co-organizers and artists such as members of aequa, Berlin Strippers’ Collective, DOGMA, Host Aware, Lecken, POLY, Radiant Love, Room 4 Resistance, TS Raver and TUF have launched a fund raising campaign in response to the current COVOID-19 crisis. Its aim is to help and support the most vulnerable who cannot access other systems of support including women, queer, trans and non-binary people, low-income gig workers, non-EU migrants, BIPOC, sex workers, the immunocompromised, the disabled and those who are unsafe in quarantine. 

Its purpose is to cover the most urgent living costs in particular food, medical expenses, household related bills, health insurance and rent. 

These times are a reminder that something that affects one will impact another, so we are all connected and must exploit this to support one another. 

If you wish to donate and/or apply for funds you can go on the following link:
