The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from The Dag. The Berlin based DJ and producer, via the Philippines, makes intense and explosive music using elements of techno, industrial, noise, and, occasionally, trance. While she doesn’t restrict herself to a specific BPM or genre, she hopes to invoke cathartic feelings in her listeners with her powerful sound. We are ecstatic to host this absolutely punishing mix of her crushing sound.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track by PC World. The South London duo comes through with a haunting EP on She Lost Kontrol to distort the view and warp the vision of industrial addicts and mutant punks with their second release “Order”, a discursive counterattack on four distinct forms of command.
B-side remixes of the title track “Order” come from Physical Wash (former member of High-Functioning Flesh) and Aktion Mutante (featuring members of Violent Poison and Unhuman), two additional perversions of protocol from synth-punk veterans on both sides of the Atlantic. So initiate these six cries of havoc in solidarity with this wasted world, a world of precarious necessity and incessant definition. A world whose shape and conscience will forever be satisfied by order.
The release is out digitally + vinyl February 8th on Bandcamp.
The Brvtalist is pleased to present the new music video for “Join The Ride” by Velvet Velour . The solo project of Russian synthwave diva Valeria Valuyskaya who has been at the edge of Moscow underground music scene for last 8 years as the deejay, founder of Dark Matter nights, long-time Powerhouse Moscow club & studio producer and the singer with college degree in jazz vocals.
Her debut EP «Pleiades» which was released at Swiss Dark Nights label, finds analog synths devotee Valeria following through in the blueprint of dark electropop and coldwave, offering a set of retro-futuristic middle tempo, gloomy and occasionally seductive danceable songs created with a tangible focus on the vocal melody. Velvet Velour isn’t as complex and narcissistic as Grimes and has a more traditionally pretty voice than Emika, which helps distinguish the artist from the legions of noir-pop and retrowave acts. It’s an intriguing listen from a promising singer – and a perfect soundtrack for dark and weird future we are already blade-running in.
The release is out now on Bandcamp.
