Octalisk - Hiddensee (Gunmetal Dub) (SPL)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere “Hiddensee (Gunmetal Dub)” by Octalisk. The sounds of Octalisk heavily reflect an ongoing dynamic struggle; treated organic sounds crashing into experimental synthetic processing, ethereal atmospheres escaping dark subterranean void, exoteric dancefloor rhythms meshing with esoteric digital decomposition. "Hiddensee” is the Boston based label & event team SPL latest release; a murky and sprawling piece of industrial-tinged dub techno gives its DNA to two more precise and dance floor oriented offspring.

The release is out now on Bandcamp.

New Brvtalism No. 262 - Ôneyra

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Ôneyra. Beginning in Dublin in 2016, she’s moved multiple times between Berlin, London and back to Dublin again taking an influential slice from each city. From running club nights, her own label and building herself up as a Dj and producer, Ôneyra shows no signs of slowing down as she sinks her teeth into all corners of the industry. Her productions are crafted with a subversive darkness trying to escape yet made to pummel the dancefloor.

Her deep dark lullabies scream distortion which coil and constrict the frail edges of reality to bring us into her imaginary world. Her sonic identity, which she continues to build, focuses on industrial and punishing techno. Her mix for The Brvtalist does exactly that. Starting the year off with this massive 2.5 hour journey through her dark, powerful sound. We look forward to more from her this year.

"Body Resistance is about the force that prevents you from following the masses, that resists, that rebels. Your rigid, untouchable body is in a test, an experiment.
