Evitceles - "Weak Eyes" *Video Premiere*

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Evitceles. Following acclaimed releases for electronic powerhouses as Opal Tapes, Yerevan Tapes, Seagrave or Sofia-based Amek Collective among others, Bulgarian producer Etien Slavchev presents Нелюбов (Sound + Matter). Roughly translating in English as 'Nonloveʼ itʼs exactly what youʼll get from the record. Нелюбов is mostly occupying the lower ends of both the frequency and the emotional specters of Evitcelesʼ music.

Today we present the video for “Weak Eyes”, one of our favorite tracks on the album and a slow burning, rhythmic work of haunting atmospheres with a trip-hop vibe. The whole album is an incredible work of genre bending tracks and shows the diverse range of Evitceles.

Нелюбов is out September 25th and you can pick it up on now on Bandcamp.

Known for her ability to control a room—shifting between techno, house, and breaks, she is also a trained drummer and has an intuitive understanding of timing and rhythm. Her music selection has helped her land gigs in New York’s fleeting and staple venues like Output, Good Room, and Elsewhere; collaborating with prominent promoters like Resolute and developing her own Techno party, MILD FANTASY.

Kontain - Americana (Swarm Intelligence Remix) (Instruments of Discipline)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Kontain. The UK-based artist arrives on longtime Brvtalist favorite Instruments of Discipline with Your Job Is To Make Art - a new EP of 4 originals and 2 remixes of his punishing techno sound. Drawing influence from the Manchester scene, but written in the isolation of rural, north-west England, Kontain’s debut EP is rhythmically relentless, buoyed by trippy vocals and distorted percussion, each track lands hard. Today we premiere the crushing “Americana” remix by label-mate Swarm Intelligence. We’ve been enjoying this whole release since hearing it and Kontain is definitely is one of our favorite producers to watch right now.

Out September 4th on digital + limited cassette format. Pick yours up now on Bandcamp.

SOJ- Land of Lovers and Hammers (Infidel Bodies)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from SOJ. “Land of Lovers and Hammers” is the title track off the new album out this month on Brvtalist favorite Infidel Bodies. The SOIL Records head delivers a powerful record with a defined concept that spans multiple genres and sounds straight from the underground. SOJ always works within an industrial sound context, but his works can be based only on small details that finally lead us back to this countercultural environment and later feed into striking nuances that take a hold on the listener. “Land Of Lovers and Hammers” is the perfect example of his work - a rhythmic industrial groove which a slow burning mood that forces you into submission.

Out September 27th on cassette and digital formats. Pick yours up now on Bandcamp.
