The Brvtalist Premieres: Tanya Leigh - Machine (OMEN)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Tanya Leigh. “Machine” comes off the new EP, Origin, out today on OMEN Recordings. For the label’s 13th release, we find the Minneapolis producer in top form with two original tracks and 3 remixes from Brvtalist favorites Ayarcana, Marina Aleksandra and Axkan. Today we premiere the EP opener, “Machine”, which is a militant dance floor destroyer with assaulting drum patterns and haunting atmospheres. The title is perfect for the track’s cold industrial feel and exudes humanoid characteristics.

Leigh has delivered another great modern techno EP on OMEN and we look forward to more. Out June 29th on digital format. Get yours now on Bandcamp.
