OTHR - Scythe Of Vyce EP (BITE024)

BITE welcomes one of the most prominent talents from Georgia, Tbilisi’s fixture and KHIDI resident – OTHR.

The Georgian artist has already been making waves in Berlin by joining forces with Ancient Methods on occasions like their stellar b2b at the first BITE label night at Berghain last October.

With a background as a guitarist for metal bands, OTHR’s post-punk upbringing is ever-present in his moody productions. His earlier output ranges through a wide variety of sound, from acclaimed ambient to noise releases, while OTHR’s present style is defined by industrial-oriented techno, mutated vocals, and groovy distorted baselines.

With his debut release on BITE – Scythe Of Vyse, OTHR is doing what he does best. The EP delivers five sharp and powerful industrial techno tracks that sound both harmonious and rough. Rhythmic and heavy-hitting, the record features a remix from Kris Baha and provides a variety of tools for dark, sweaty basements. In short, OTHR’s most recent work is certain to create a setting for a cathartic dancefloor experience.

BITE is the Berlin-based techno label co-founded by Hayden Payne (aka Phase Fatale) in 2018. Beginning with the debut collaborative EP by Silent Servant & Phase Fatale, the label aims to platform artists who operate outside the conventional preconceptions of techno and are united by an ambition to push the boundaries of electronic music. This drive is further exemplified by regular showcases at renowned institutions Berghain, Basement, and Tbilisi’s KHIDI as well as a multitude of clubs throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

With a vast artist roster from stalwarts such as Ron Morelli and Teste to contemporary talent from the likes of Pablo Bozzi and Gael, the eclectic variety of releases touches upon a range of styles along the moodier fringes of electronic music. BITE has proved itself as the imprint to watch. Fresh off the heels of their 5 year anniversary in 2023 culminating in the acclaimed triple LP compilation ‘Shedding Skin,’ BITE moves into more dancefloor territory with their next releases by label head Phase Fatale and remixes by Rrose. The display of the music is also represented in its visual prowess with cutting designs and colorways intended to take the sound into another dimension. From proper techno to synthpunk and to sparse minimalist industrial, BITE never fails to deliver fresh and razor-sharp sounds tying together the narrative of dance music.
