DJ résident au sein du collectif El Hey, producteur et créateur du podcast engagé RESIST, NOCH navigue entre rythmes breakés et oscillateurs détunés, l’énergie comme unique cap, le lâcher prise en ligne d’horizon.

Malaise Voyageur w/ NOCH

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from BitterCaress. The Montreal-based DJ/producer has been on the rise for the past few years, both behind the decks and as a promoter and running MFC Records, which features some great artists all for humanitarian causes. Coming from a classical music background, she discovered techno when she moved to Montreal and has never looked back, fusing rave ready, high energy sounds with her unique touch. Today we are thrilled to host this great mix to start off the year!

New Brvtalism No. 314 - BitterCaress

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: BitterCaress

For several years now, BitterCaress has been pursuing her own musical path. Coming from a classical music background and after studying the piano at the conservatory for several years in Paris, she discovered techno in Montreal when she moved there in 2014.

Professional raver and techno events organizer for a while, she had the chance to broaden her musical culture before going behind the decks at the end of 2018.

Her sharp selection reveals a marked taste for heavy bass and uncompromising beats. Her style is best described as ravy and highly energetic as she draws her inspiration from old school techno, mixing ravy and trancy atmospheres with raw and industrial energies. The artist gets highly creative behind the decks with her openness to other genres and her appetite for risks when comes the time to play unexpected guilty pleasures. BitterCaress definitely knows how to make people dance and will slay any dancefloors.

Her journey has just started but she is already well-established in the Montreal local scene with several gigs under her belt notably at Stereo Nightclub or at Piknic Electronik and her residency at one of the scene’s most hyped collective, OCTOV. Playing alongside Jacidorex or Nur Jaber, among talented others, has definitely put her on the techno map. At the end of 2021, she has also begun to make some waves internationally with several podcasts for many renowned SoundCloud channels such as Possession, The Brvtalist or Instruments of Discipline.

BitterCaress also curates the Mixing for a Cause podcast series where she gives the floor to some local and international artists to raise awareness about causes that are meaningful to them.

In the same spirit, since the end of 2020, she is now managing her brand-new solo project called MFC Records. A label established as a way to support newcomers, fresh talents and already established artists from all over the world who would like to support a cause. All proceeds from the releases are going to carefully chosen non-for-profit organizations.

Through this series and that label, she hopes to build awareness and a better future world.

Enjoy!

RAWCAST130 • BitterCaress

Pour notre troisième podcast, on se donne rendez-vous à Montréal avec Inside Blur et Jeanne Benichou 🪂

🧘 Inside Blur fait danser le public montréalais avec ses sets orientés dancefloor. Originaire de Toulouse, elle publie son premier EP sur le label parisien Intervision, puis enchaîne les sorties sur les labels québécois.

À l’image des soirées qu'elle organise, son podcast “Breathing Exercise” rassemble une techno au rythme effréné et aux mélodies captivantes.

🌶️ Jeanne Benichou est designer indépendante. Elle se saisit du potentiel numérique et développe une pratique aux frontières du design de communication et des arts médiatiques.

Sa création “Flow State” s’inspire du long métrage d’animation “Paprika” de Satoshi Kon. Un non-lieu, théâtre désenchanté du corps exalté. Dans ce maelström où le mouvement se consume, la chorégraphie visuelle épuise à mesure qu’on tente de la saisir.

Cadence Podcast _03 | Inside Blur "Breathing Exercise"

For this episode and for the followings, I wanted to give the floor to some artists I admire and respect a lot. I believe everyone has ideas, a voice, opinions they want to fight for. I believe we can aspire for a better future world through music. Today, I have invited @djwhattis to record a Mixing for a Cause podcast.

MFC 27 : Whattis - Awareness Angels All Around

Whattis is a Swedish Berlin based DJ who likes her dance floors wet n wild. With a merciless and technical mixing style, she varies between hard techno, hard techno, and multiple hardcore genres. Whattis is also the founder of the ultra-sexy and queer clusterfuck Bleak Narrative, who conducts their mischief in Berlin and Brooklyn.

For this mix, they wanted to talk about awareness within our club culture.

Whattis: “As an organizer, attendee, and observer of parties and events in Berlin - the capital of decadence and debauchery - one is now used to event organizers adding a slur to their event descriptions such as "No racism, no sexism, no queerphobia, no ableism, no discrimination, no hate of any kind". I do not know if it's like this in other cities around the world. In my city, however, it's close to mandatory. A must. You need to put it there to indicate that you will not tolerate this shit at your event.

In the Berlin club culture, there is a higher and higher demand for awareness of awareness. Awareness about consent. Awareness about harm reduction. Awareness about gender identity. Awareness about violence. Awareness about discrimination. I can go on. The result is that the demand for these kinds of statements (such as the one above) is high, and the event promoters supply.

This movement is constructive. And the aim is to neutralize. Utopia is a reality where this is taken for granted. A reality where we do not have to condemn discrimination before pressing play, and the dance floor can exist as an undisturbed room for music and solidarity.

As an organizer, attendee, and observer of parties and events in Berlin, I am questioning how constructive these words are when there are zero strategies in place to actually live up to them. When they are just functional. You-did-what-was-expected-of-you type of thing. When there is no self-reflection behind them. When your operations outside of your club night do not reflect these values. When you tokenize. When you are a slave to profits. When you never question yourself. When you don't recognize your power position. When you refuse to learn from your mistakes. When you constantly defend your code of conduct. When you are unwilling to listen.

How might our clubbing utopia become real? We could start by strategizing and putting meaning behind our beautifully ethical words. 

Ask yourself: For whom am I intending to create a safer space? Why do I (no matter if you are an attendee, an event organizer, or the lightbulb changer at the club) need to put effort into this at all? When you have sorted that out, you can go on by asking yourself if you are actively sharing knowledge about awareness topics and educating your audience through all mediums accessible to you. Are you curating equitable lineups to the extent possible from where you stand? Do you have a door policy that intends to protect the attendees of your events? Do you educate the staff and yourselves on anti-discrimination topics?

Wow! All this sounds very honorable. Self-righteous too. Welcome to the club saint's preaching sesh!

There will never be a perfect answer to any of these questions you might ask yourself. No matter how aware you are, there is no such thing as a 'safe space' in an environment like a nightclub. But there are forces who do everything they can to strive for our utopia. That is why I dedicate this podcast to one of those forces in my city - TS Raver - a grassroots, trans-led team that provides awareness and peer support at parties in Berlin.

Inside Blur - Prohibition x Noreiner (w/ Alignment)

Here’s the live recording of my set at Piknic Electronik Montreal 2025, marking my fifth year in a row playing at this beloved event.

This time, the challenge was once again a bit different: a short 1-hour slot, playing right before Enrico Sangiuliano, whose big room techno sound is quite different from mine. I still wanted to stay true to my style, while keeping things slightly more accessible to the Enrico and Piknic crowd than some of my usual sets. Despite the cold and rainy weather, I was set on bringing happy, uplifting energy to the dancefloor.

Expect a colorful and energetic ride, blending techno with trancy vibes and acid melodies. Whether you were dancing in the rain that day or discovering this for the first time, I hope this set brings you a little boost of joy.

Tracklist below:
Naboklage – Sleeping Beauty
satin – Give Me A Galbich 
Vincent Cambier – Killjoy
Jardinage – Erase
MZA – Fire Starter (Schacke Remix)
