Swarm Intelligence 003

Struktur

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Hedon. "Apocatastasis" comes off the new EP, The Hedonic Treadmill, forthcoming on Vumantra. Rituals give weight to our days. They break the blur of life’s constant rush and remind us what matters. In a world that keeps pushing us forward, chasing what never lasts, rituals help us stop, breathe, and feel alive. They’re like a small death to the endless grind — a way of stepping off the treadmill, even just for a
moment.

The Hedonic Treadmill is a raw reflection on the chaos of modern life — a world addicted to speed, stimulation, greed, and endless craving. It’s a descent into the kafkaesque fast-frenetic world of consumerism and hijacked attention spans that we live in, striving to turn noise into signal. Blending dark industrial techno with ritualistic textures, Buddhist undercurrents, and the pulse of Moroccan folklore, the EP explores the tension between synthetic systems and ancestral memory. From warped mantras to distorted rhythms, each track spirals deeper into the mess — sometimes meditative, sometimes violent, seeking cleansing driven by storytelling and culminating in a cinematic climax.

Out July 4th. Pick it up at: https://vumantra.bandcamp.com/

PRMIERE: Hedon - Apocatastasis [VMNTR#078]

Described as a full body sonic experience,
Max has mastered his craft. Known for his unique mix of coldwave, italo & post-punk cleverly cut with harsh and punishing ebm beats and techno grooves. He's held many residencies across his city including his own queer high NRG - dark disco night: Discorotica 

With profits going to trans+ folk in need.
He has guested at various goth and alternative nights around the UK and online, all while keeping activism and an unstoppable determination to bring trans representation, queer liberation and safety to events at his core.

Drawing from the hammering sounds of the industrial scene where it all began for Max as a DJ, this mix is an intricate blend of everything that encapsulates the mood and style of his mixes, from EBM & darkwave, to new beat influenced sounds inspired by the club nights he's ran and that helped shaped him and his sound.

The Nightmare Continues

Marks

ÆSTR - Marks (The Nightmare continues V.A.)

The Rituals series rises again — a fresh strike carved deep into black wax. RITUAL12 summons an international assembly of techno insurgents from the OMEN roster, each delivering their own sonic rite. Across two sides, the intent is absolute: raw, unfiltered power pulled from the shadows and unleashed on the dancefloor.

[SIDE A]
SWARM INTELLIGENCE – Inexorable
Berlin’s Swarm Intelligence ignites the record with precision-tooled percussion and fractured basslines. Polyrhythmic tension winds tighter with every measure, industrial grit locking into a cybernetic march toward total hypnosis.

B.A.R.K – Shikijitsu
A bone-rattling invocation of distorted low-end and ceremonial drums. B.A.R.K drives forward like ancient machinery grinding to life, a Japanese primal energy sharpened to a deadly edge.

AXKAN & DUELLIST – Resilience
Mexico meets Scotland for a brutalist assault: hammering kicks, serrated synth textures, and walls of analogue saturation. No safe passage here — only forward momentum into the heart of chaos.

[SIDE B]
EAS – Honored One
From Los Angeles, EAS delivers a tense, ritualistic construction where a subterranean EBM bassline pulses through metallic drones. Hypnotic, uneasy, and charged with controlled dissonance.

HATELOVE & OGMAH – Hanged Bodies
A dark ceremonial groove heavy with ritual percussion and spectral synth chants. The layers rise to a fever pitch, blurring the line between transcendence and collapse.

CRYSTAL GEOMETRY + AXKAN – Kratom
France’s Crystal Geometry joins AXKAN for a militaristic strike of modular chaos and pummeling drums. EBM-infused basslines drive beneath razor-sharp synth fire, rallying the midnight faithful to the front lines.

RITUAL12 is not a compilation — it’s a convocation. Forged in analogue heat, drenched in distortion, and aimed directly at the heart of the floor, this record demands full surrender. Step in. There is no turning back.

All tracks written and produced by the featured artists.

V+1024D 03 Scalameriya - Moxie 3.3 (Original Mix)

Order: https://depthrequest.bandcamp.com/album/intensive-living

Making his debut on Depth.Request, Duellist delivers Intensive Living - a fierce three-track statement inspired by the restless energy and chaos of modern city life. Reinforced by remixes from industrial heavyweights Orphx, Statiqbloom, and label co-founder G.xist, the EP captures the tension between control and collapse - where rhythm becomes ritual and distortion takes on a human pulse.

‘Burn Your Way Out’ opens with offbeat crunch and abrasive energy, setting a volatile tone. The title track ‘Intensive Living’ moves with rhythmic swagger and pounding drums, its momentum unwavering. ‘Ritual Component’ closes the originals with throbbing low-end pressure and hypnotic drive - the sound of machinery breathing.

On remix duty, Statiqbloom transforms ‘Intensive Living’ into a desolate, melodic descent, Orphx expand its framework into a widescreen rework charged with cinematic tension, and G.xist pushes ‘Burn Your Way Out’ into industrial hypnosis, fusing intensity and groove in equal measure.

Intensive Living stands as a hard-edged introduction to Duellist’s world - precise, forceful, and fully alive in its urban grit.

DR008 - Duellist - Intensive Living - EP - Preview

[BL008] includes parts of live sets by Voital, Vacand and Opteron.
It streaks remarkably throughout with destructive energy efforts and keeps tensely in a heavy mood. That all creates spacey sound with punchy cuts, strummed creaky tunes, blasts rhythms, relentless bass stabs and highly sharp content. This all happens within all time and can only hypnotically absorb.
