Monnom Black presents Umwelt's new studio album “Dead Eyes Society”, a stunning piece of work and the culmination of 30 years of artistic refinement. Umwelt is a truly rare underground electronic artist in the world of Techno and is without doubt one of the most important and prolific French electronic producers of a generation. A techno activist since the 90’s boasting over 50 releases to date. Throughout his career he has crafted a pure analog, unmistakable, signature sound, mixing dark, cinematic melancholy with the electro-techno grit he is so renowned for.

The sound of the album is influenced by late 90’s and early 00’s techno contrasted with an avant-garde approach to recording and sound design. Throughout the album Umwelt lays down beautiful grooves and his space techno melodies in uncompromising fashion, blended with classic synthwork and run through his famous analog outboard chains. With “Dead Eyes Society” Umwelt has crafted his most powerful techno album to date and solidified himself as an exceptional artist
and titanic figure of modern electronic music.

Released 22nd July on Double 12” Vinyl + Digital

Picture by acclaimed photographer Cam Linh, her work has been featured across multiple Parisian exhibitions and has worked closely with Umwelt over the past years.

UNCERTAIN (Original Mix)

Bandcamp

All Night

While Scalameriya's first album, Hubris (2016) on Genesa Records, was an exploration of what he considered "uncharted territory" at that time, Aeon Core (2022) on Perc Trax, on the other hand, was a process of cataloguing the various techno influences from his teenage years, seen through the lens of his modern, unmistakable style.
The next chapter of Scalameriya's turbulent saga in electronic music is Kornukopiya (2024), the manifesto of a mad scientist, a depiction Nikola resisted for years that ultimately became an embraced part of his persona as he finally takes on the lab coat of a genre-defying artist he was bound to become.
His documented, unwavering discipline has transformed into nothing less than rituals that are performed daily, securing him the grace of the muse as a result.
With Kornukopiya, Scalameriya ventures beyond the ordinary and dashes to the forefront of avant-garde club music, evading the shackles of conventional techno yet again while he effortlessly showcases his limitless hyperphantasia across 25 tracks, each as relentless and articulate as the other, making this album an auditory opulence for listeners eager to experience more than just a simple interaction between an effective kick and a random blip.
Always remaining conceptual, worshiping the idea and imagination as sacred phenomena, this time he consolidates the ever-recurring motifs of sci-fi, danger, and weight in his music with the mystical, bringing forth coherent displays of sound that, collectively as an album, emit an uncanny fusion of mechanical ferocity and ethereal enchantment.
At the moment, Kornukopiya can be considered Scalameriya's "magnum opus", but with his merciless pursuit of the apex of sound design, this statement will likely be rendered obsolete in the blink of an eye.

Saporta - Este (Original Mix) [Unity Records]

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Déandrah. "Shank" comes off the new album, Body, forthcoming on Italy's Marguerite Records. Body took shape during a strange year, a time when the fabric of existence seemed to fray and shift—welcoming the cries of new beginnings even as others marked inevitable ends. The wails of arrival and departure harmonised in a single breath, tracing the fragile rhythm and fleeting significance of being. The album became a compass through this liminal space, an exploration of the body's frailty and the mind's enduring strength—a map of transitions charted through sound.

Featuring 8 original tracks and released on digital and limited cassette format. Out January 20th. Pick it up at: https://margueriterecords.bandcamp.com/album/body

Damn, week 17. Today i'd like to share a release by NY based producer BRÄLLE. Known for his atmospheric yet hard releases on renowned labels such as Marked & ISMUS. You might notice a difference in artwork for this release, that is because BRÄLLE is a graphic designer and asked to do his own artwork - which I happily obliged to!
