Torn Relics - When The World Could Not Sleep (Loose Lips Compilation)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Torn Relics. The London-based duo contributes “When The World Could Not Sleep”, a powerful, meditative piece which comes off the new v/a compilation from Loose Lips. The organization brings together a range of artists from across the world who they’ve connected with throughout the last 6 years of the LL journey.

The wide range of music chosen echoes LL’s passion for unique music from all horizons. From raucous sound system music of many forms through to pertinent poetry, crazy industrial experiments, chilling ambience and eccentric breakbeats. Given the compilations diversity, LL has separated the v/a into volumes, with Vol. 1 covering more dance floor friendly sounds and Vol. 2 being more experimental.

Further, proceeds from this release will aid be donated to the Ruff Sqwad Arts Foundation. Grime pioneers Rapid and Slix (Prince Owusu-Agyekum and Ebenezer Ayerh) started this foundation in 2017 in order to help create opportunities for young people who have incredible talent but who are from a less advantaged background, thus potentially not having the chances to develop their skills to the fullest.

Having been inspired by the sounds that spawned from Ruff Sqwad, other Grime originals, and so many other resulting waves of UK music, it was so energizing to find out more about this amazing work that has evolved from it. They approach education and collaboration in an incredibly genuine and musically apt way - creating a bridge between grassroots ethics and industry ambition.

Support this project now on LL’s Bandcamp.

The Brvtalist Premieres: obwigszyh - phate188 (EXILES)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from obwigszyh. “phate188” comes off the Hungarian artist’s new album, Personal Data, out today on Budapest-based label EXILES. The album is a tremendous work of ambient and left field techno experimentations which was created during isolation. In addition, each track comes with its own artwork and the narrative told by the artists represents different focal points of time and space. “phate188” is a transcendent piece of futuristic electronics that sounds like a soundtrack to another time. From the artist:

The tracks on the album are focal points of my period of isolation, which I spent in Esztergom. Personal Data is the result of two months in which I had very low amounts of musical stimulus and human interaction. Physically, almost nothing. In addition to the energy and mood fluctuations of the material, abstract and rhythmic themes alternate each other.

Personal Data is out July 17th, 2020 on CD and digital formats. Get yours now on Bandcamp.
