(Tales of Psychofonia)

Today we are pleased to support a new various artists compilation from Tales of Psychofonia. / Θ Ρ Α Υ Σ Μ Α Τ Α / brings together a diverse group of artists for 12 tracks which showcase some of the most exciting established and emerging artists across the synth, body, techno and industrial genres. In addition, all proceeds from this release will go to Caring For Bristol, to support their precious work with the homeless during these difficult times. From the organization:

We need your support more than ever because whilst you are in the relative safety of your home, isolated and protected, those experiencing homelessness are at great risk and extremely vulnerable. This is perhaps one of the most important letters that I have ever had to write. We are in unprecedented times with the COVID-19 pandemic having a profound effect on everyone and all the things we take for granted. Like a home to call our own, a sofa to put our feet up on, friends and family. The team at Caring in Bristol are working at maximum capacity to help avert a catastrophe for vulnerable people in our community. Our services are adapting and changing in the face of continual uncertainty, but we are keeping the needs of those without homes and a safety net at the very front of what we do with their needs more exposed than ever before. Services in Bristol have become strained, some to the point of closure but Caring in Bristol remain committed to being there for our city’s most vulnerable and we will do whatever we can to ensure those people who need our support get it.

To support the release, we are proud to premiere a track from Helena Markos. “The Worst Is Not Pain” is a powerful track that penetrates the body with its hard hitting rhythmic style and ominous vocals. The release is out digitally June 21st and you can pick it up on Bandcamp.

RAUM - "Dissent" for Black Lives Matter

The Brvtalist is pleased to present a new track from Raum. “Dissent” is a high tempo, punishing work which was made specifically for the Black Lives Matter movement. From the artist:

Racism is a structural problem as much as it is a cultural one. It struck me long before George Floyd’s assassination and it always will. As I am happy the recent events will help raise more awareness worldwide, I am aware that our world now feeds on short lived news and trends, and that past the emotion which was triggered, the statements and the actions that are currently fashionable, most likely will be forgotten about and the world will rush to the next thing.

But racism won't stop when the protests die down and nothing will durably change until we develop a deeper consciousness of its deeply rooted mechanisms. Without guilt, without self-hatred, but with sincerity, soul and determination. Search and destroy.

Until we defy our fears and challenge our GAFAM-fucked brains nothing will change for good. It’s not the new cool thing out there and it's not an antiracist pose contest. It is a fundamental thing to do all the time. Search and destroy!

All sales benefits of this track will permanently be donated to BLM. Please buy it, share it, play loud and stomp hard on it. It's an ode to DISSENT as an healthy, legitimate and necessary thing. In a world that is always engaging further towards new forms of control, fear, division and totalitarian nightmares, dissent is the only way, and the first step to the decolonization of the souls. That's when the real fight begins. DISSENT!

New Brvtalism No. 233 - Alessandro Nero

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Alessandro Nero. The Berlin-based DJ, producer, modular live act and founder of Kindcrime Recordings has been active since 2008. For over a decade he has brought his morbid take on industrial techno to multiple continents and destroyed clubs of all kinds. New Brvtalism No. 233 is a master work of undefinable genre and sound, complete with influences of acid, ebm, hardcore and breakbeat, but also towards reinterpretations and less direct influences of urban cultures such as metal and punk in their various facets. Both for purely artistic and personal reasons, Nero aims to project the idea of a futuristic global world which can live a socio-cultural epiphany through the understanding of all modern and effective styles to transmit something sensorially relevant and ultimately unifying.

Be on the look out for more from Alessandro Nero on The Brvtalist.
