Raum - Systemic, Malignant, Global (A+W) Video Premiere

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new video from Raum. Berlin label Aufnahme + Wiedergabe has recently released a EP by Belgian musician Raum (Orphan Swords, Figure section, Antibody). The artist has just issued a new homemade music video for the track, "Systemic, Malignant, Global" featuring maverick Australian fashion designer and drag performer Shayli Harrison. The video is "a metaphor about the moral turmoil and utter decadence of our times, a world that's been taken in hostage by the world of finance, economic slavery, absurd consumerism, shallowness, mandatory technological advancement and a lethal obsession for security. It was great shooting the video with my insanely creative friend Shayli. Moments with her are always dirt fun, genuine and intense. Some kind of antidote to our sell out times if you want." says Raum.

Pick up the EP now on BANDCAMP.

The Brvtalist: Before we get to the EP, tell us a little about your music/creative background?

MERVH: I think music has always been in my life. My aunt is music teacher and she bought to me my first guitar when I was 10. Until I started to collage I was performing with alternative bands. Than I met with Electronic music and my real career started as a DJ in 2018 in Warsaw. I had no idea what type of genre was fitting on me. I just knew I was feeling so powerful when I was playing higher bpms. As my career progressed I completely focused on industrial, dark sounds. Got inspiration from Paula Temple,SNTS,Rebekah and it helped me to find my own style. When I started to producing my own music I still prefer to use same sounds but I wanna add to my music my emotions and feelings and sometimes I like trying to produce different genres as well.

TB: Tell us a bit about the inspiration behind your debut EP.

M: Definitely inspiration was my Mother. She died nearly end of 2020. It was the worst day of my life and I decided to do my EP project the day I lost her. I think I wanted to do something permanent on her behalf and make her proud because she was my biggest supporter during my career.

TB: Was making the EP therapeutic in some ways?

M: For my situation it was therapeutic. I think I was throwing my sadness,pain and anger that my loss brought to me with my music. I wanted to produce related tracks and show my emotions somehow with this project. And I had a purpose so whole this EP progress definitely worthed!

TB: You're originally from Turkey but now live in Warsaw. How do you find the techno scene/community there and do you think it will come back strong after the pandemic?

M: As I said my career started in Warsaw and it was a luck for me. Warsaw has really good and old techno scenes and audience is quite a lot too. I had a chance to be part of very good parties before pandemic and I hope everything will be fine asap! And yes I'm sure Warsaw will come back stronger after this whole thing.

TB: What's coming up next?

M: I completed to my first important goal and now I feel very proud and refreshed. My plan from now on is to reach a good audience with this project and of course sign few more succesful EP in the future.
