The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Sub Imperium. The St. Petersburg based duo first appeared last year after years working on other solo projects. Since then, they’ve been on a tear through the techno-verse with releases on labels like Occult Rhythms, Insane Industry, Gobsmacked, Blockchain and others. They’ve become known for a dark, gritty sound with touches of EBM, industrial and epic cinematic soundscapes. New Brvtalism No. 258 is the perfect trip through their sound.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere Reka's remix for “You Pt. 12” by SDH. Their suggestive synth-pop songs sprinkled with EBM and techno are fertile ground for DJs all over the world to get the perfect sexy dance song everyone is waiting for in a party in a late night club. SDH and Reka met in Berlin in 2019 when SDH were touring supporting their self-titled album (Avant! Records, 2018) and the connection was instantaneous.
The song ‘You Pt.12’ originally appeared on Against Strong Thinking EP (Avant! Records, 2020), SDH’s follow-up to their first record, and it’s probably one of the songs the bests sums up their sound and style: somber, sexual, obtuse and mysterious.
Enjoy Bandcamp Friday and pick up the release here now.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track by Hüma Utku. Combining her practice of music with her studies in psychology, Utku's works draw inspiration from human condition, Jungian psychology, mysticism and folklore.
"Wherein All Things Are Like The Void" comes off AREA Z’s part two of “Uncanny Valleys” compilation. The concept of the series is related to the theory introduced by Japanese robotitian Mori Masahiro back in 1970, referring to the paradoxical perception of the existing similarities between robots and human beings.
This second opus focuses on ‘Industrial’ music through a variety of genres and interpretations of the genre’s aesthetics. Opening with an infused four to the floor selection cut with a slice of power ambient, the compilation evolves into a rawer shape, with industrial, noise that embraces either nihilistic or romantic intentions.
Taking a look at music that is influenced by a genre, created in the times where the concept was created, helps us to grasp the links between the theory and music, both inspired by the development of technologies and its influences on both personal and societal aspects.
The release is out today on Bandcamp.
