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.

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.
