The Brvtalist Premieres: Triames - Aimed

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Triames. “Aimed” comes off the Basque-based artist’s new EP, A Vast Array. With work usually more closely associated with Dub Techno and also his contributions to the Industrial duo HOMOAGENT, this latest collection signifies a departure from those sounds but still undeniably Triames. Honing in on more detailed and washed out sonic elements all produced with a cold almost medical-like precision. “Aimed” is the perfect example of the artist’s technical prowess, an industrialized work of rhythmic electronics that crushes the dance floor or at home.

Prophän - Beauty Is A Major Sin (Khemia Records)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Prophän. The solo electronic music project of Othman Cherradi, based in Casablanca, Morocco, Cherradi runs the experimental techno label Rhadâb and is the co-founder, alongside Nova Ouacheb, of the Mindless series of live events, podcasts and radio broadcasts. The artist now comes forth on the always excellent Khemia Records with the new album, Those Who Fight In God's Way, 8 tracks of powerful ritual electronics inspired by industrial, post-punk and the undeniable influence of local trance-inducing musical practices and customs that surround him in North Africa. Today we prepare, “Beauty Is A Major Sin”, a track that instantly became a favorite of ours with its ominous, rhythmic features which leaves you powerless. From the artist:

This album is a culmination of all those influences and was formed at the beginning of the pandemic, a time of great confusion where I felt creating something new and authentic was the only way to get past the feelings of emptiness and impending doom. It is an attempt to bridge between islamo-sufism and industrial music . It was made with religious fear as a main motivation, the world is crumbling apart, the judgement day is nearing, repent before it's too late.

Those Who Fight In God's Way is out on digital format January 15th. Pick it up on Bandcamp.

We premiere today Aero's remix for "Vico". The Aero remix is a fast loopy groove, an ever present snappy snare and sharp hats’ pave the way for the pad that guides you on a dark journey. The overlapping melodies and strong one shot synth from the original track make for a powerful and emotional ride. A very inventive remix from Dublin producer Aero.

PAL is a club that means a lot to me: It's the home of Edge Detection
and I will always remember playing my second ever club gig there at the
first Edge Detection party in 2018!! Every time I've played there, I've
had a wonderful experience with the crowd, the staff and other artists
(and the bomb soundsystem 😉 ). Therefore, it makes me particularly happy
to have my second release on PAL's new label LAP and am very grateful
and proud to be on this VA compilation!

She has definitely done that, using her fresh take on techno infused with EBM and cyberpunk to create a whole universe.
