The Brvtalist Premieres: Hystérie - Chaos (Area Z)

French Synth-punk band Hystérie presents their first EP on Area Z after two releases on Parisian label ‘Le Turc Mécanique’. The 3 members of the band offer an engaging and personal material, whether in the lyrics or in their musical composition. Previously described as ‘Cold-Industrial’ they continue to deliver and develop their unique sound, reinforced by the lyrics sang in French. The lyrics have a strong take on freedom and social liberties, addressing the current social issues in France and more generally happening worldwide such as police abuses and the loss of democratic rights. In this present work the band members personally engage themselves through a reflection about loss; whether it’s about dogma, illusions, hopes or reference points. It is about loss, in all its meanings and how to keep going from then.

The track “Chaos” says it all. During the chorus, the sentence “Le Chaos règne”, meaning “Chaos rules” is repeated over and over again. The rattling guitar lines express this overwhelming chaos which seems to be all there is left. “Le Temps est venu, de faire ton Deuil”, which means “Now your time has come to mourn” is the last sentence sang in the track that wraps up the EP. It leaves the listener a lot to reflect upon. Despite the heavy and dark input that this song deals with, the final impression is uplifting and strength giving!

New Brvtalism No. 226 - Charly Schaller

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Charly Schaller. Born in Munich Germany, Schaller discovered her passion for techno during her gap year when she was first exposed to it as a raver in Berlin’s Techno clubs. After moving to England to study at the University of Cambridge, she developed her penchant for diverse sub-genres of techno music after being exposed to an ambit of musical cultures in the UK.

Upon finishing her studies in Philosophy, Charly relocated to Berlin and began Djing in various clubs and venues across Berlin and Germany, including: About Blank, Grießmühle, and Arena Club.

Since her debut, Charly’s DJ repertoire has embraced an eclectic musical collection that allows the audience to explore a truly personalised sensorial experience. Boasting a passion for tracks with vocals, as well as Rave, percussion heavy bangers, and dramatic synth lines, Charly merges divergent musical styles in her DJ sets as a unique signature; one that inspires the audience to be fully immersed in the euphoric experience that only music can inspire.

Charly is currently a promoter and resident at Edge Detection (at PAL/About Blank) and Strictly Forbidden (at Maze). More recently she has been picked up by Alan Fitzpatricks “We Are The Brave” label and will be releasing on their “Electric Soul” compilation in June, alongside playing various shows for the brand. We are thrilled to have her contribute to our series with this explosive mix of techno, acid, rave and more, showcasing her diverse sound.

S S S S - ABSCISSUS (Orden)

Booking agency and clothing brand, Orden, launches its first release, Excess of Signs and Meaning by Swiss musician/producer, S S S S.

Excess is the tenth release by Samuel Savenberg who is also known for his work in Die Selektion and Dillon. The record contains four tracks loosely based on material he has been using for his more club-oriented live sets in recent times. The EP contains heavy yet playfully arranged rhythmic patterns accompanied by several variations of Industrial elements.

The title Excess of Signs and Meaning can be seen as a comment on how nowadays Music and Popular culture tries to load itself with Semiotics and Statements seemingly in fear of losing importance.

The Brvtalist is delighted to premiere “Abscissus”, a word which takes its roots from Latin “abscissa” which means to cut off, or to separate.

This second track reflects upon this loss of meaning and loss of understanding about what is important and what is not. This confusion is very well represented through the irregular and deconstructed, or even fragmented patterns we hear at the beginning. So, one can wonder: if everything means something, nothing means anything.

Out April 17th on digital format. Get yours now at: https://orden.bandcamp.com/
