PREMIERE: FOR. - Május 1. [EXILES]

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from FOR.. "Május 1." comes off EXILES first vinyl release Vacuum, an EP with 4 tracks and a powerful concept. The carefully designed sound effects of the new tracks, often inducing sharp noises of some nanotech devices or dismantled futuristic weapons, are almost always counterpointed with harsher sound textures, bold basses, and asymmetric rhythm structures. Accordingly, the recent EP Vacuum also aims to embrace various topics, such as politically engaged movements and militant aesthetics, monotonous labor and dehumanization, neo-industrial corporations, and virtual frontiers of future geographies that have yet to be drawn.

Out March 12th on Bandcamp. Pre-order here now.

Denise Rabe - Drop It (Belief Defect Remix) Video Premiere

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Denise Rabe. "Drop It (Belief Defect Remix)" was created by Licht. Pfad and Myopia Studios in collaboration with performing artist Valentin Tszin, this video work presents a radical fusion of Butoh and techno, where the performer's body is transformed to digital, virtual disembodied form, through interactive computer graphics and sound-responsive dynamic effects. The result is a powerful performance piece which perfectly suits the ominous and harsh world of the track. To pick up the release, out now, visit Bandcamp.

PREMIERE: Any Act - Moskva-Baghdad (TP016)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Russian-based Any Act. The upcoming EP Ne Bonyatsa unleashes an endurance test of annihilated techno for dance floor demolition. Punk blood runs red across the 5-track EP of unrelenting no-fucks-given energy and adds to an already thriving community of like-minded Russian brethren. It is here where Any Act builds upon this fertile ground and forges new bounds of invigorated punk techno and EBM. This A2 cut, "Moskva-Baghdad", carves out an acid bath of hi jinks and mother tongue vocals on top of world-conscious sounds.

The release is out on digital format + vinyl March 19th on TRAM Planet Records. Pre-order here now.
