The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Hybral. The Berlin-based non-binary producer and DJ emerged in the city’s underground scene at the beginning of last year and quickly became known for their dark driving and hard hitting rough industrial sounds as well as the intertwining of left politics and techno. In this mix, Hybral focuses on productions that are outstanding for their sound design, putting together their favorite producers in the field of industrial techno, this selection is an intense journey through the darkest corners of your mind, being lost in obsessive rhythms, crooked ambiences and crushing kicks.

Hybral is also the founder of Subverted, a queer feminist podcast series that aims to support and create visibility for flint* djs as well as flint* producers. You can find a great list of flint* producers HERE.

VEIL OF LIGHT - Love And Money (Official Video)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere the new music video for “Love And Money” from Zurich’s VEIL OF LIGHT. After two years since they released the excellent album Inflict LP, the band returns to AVANT Records! with another impressive release, Landslide.

Their fifth full-length and definitely their most complex album features ten new songs finding the perfect balance between the Coldwave intimate atmosphere and synthpop catchy melodies, creating a new sense of emotional intimacy with their profound innermost lyrics. Musically speaking The Swiss duo draws their influences right in between New Order’s moodiness and The Klinik, trying one softer, less brutal approach to their Electro.

This is the kind of record that takes its time, and takes its toll, we just need to sit down and listen because there's much to discover.

Out April 2nd on digital format + vinyl, Pre-order here.

PREMIERE: Huma - Coalesce (Hedonic Reversal)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track by Huma. "Coalesce" comes off Barcelona's Hedonic Reversal brvtal upcoming EP Emergence, out February 25th digitally + cassette.

Emergence experiments with irregular and unpredictable structures that arise from sequences and textures colliding and merging into rhythmic and melodic sonic explorations that seem non-human-like but at the same time intuitive and almost familiar. Inspired by the Emergence Theory, which states that a large number of relatively simple elements can self-organize into behaviors that appear to be unexpectedly complex, it creates a process by which musical order seems to emerge out from chaos.

Pre-order here now.

Watch the video for “Coherence”, another killer track from the EP. Video by Razorade & Sevi Iko Domochevsky - Mitrilo Collective:
