Mastered by @Pure-evilness

WHO: Berlin-based modular synth duo of Andreas Gerth and Florian Zimmer
STYLE: Multi-layered modular synth wizardry, nocturnal, unpredictable dub discharges
LABELS: Umor Rex
LATEST WORK: Radiations (2017), Colliding Contours (2016)
MORE: Gerth was involved with the Tied & Tickled Trio; Zimmer, a member of Lali Puna, ISO68, Saroos

Haunted, multi-layered and intricate, Driftmachine synch modular synth units in a tandem of techno, Eastern European inflection, dub and drone that run like a clockwork of perpetual motion, bass-drenched styles underpinned by skeletal polyrhythmic patterns.

A shared exploration of modular systems created the tectonic shift that drew Andreas Gerth and Florian Zimmer together and took them outside the realm of their previous genre inclinations. Friends and peers since the early nineties, has both have pedigree in pop-electronic crossover projects. Gerth, also a visual artist has performed as a member of the Tied & Tickled Trio as well as working on a variety of sound installations and montages, including a commission for Bavarian Radio. Zimmer, a drummer and keyboardist by previous trades also worked for a time with Berlin label Morr Music. Debuting on record in 2014 with a steady stream of followups since, Driftmachine are sometimes joined on stage by visual artist Mika Shkurat who plays a third modular system to control video. In all circumstances, Driftmachine's fidelity to modularity, and their talents with taming their volatile machine-beasts reveal them as synthesist savants.

Likened to an exorcism of modular conjuring, Driftmachine live unfurls ominous, monochrome sound sculptures from their machines, creating uncannily psychedelic effects.

Fennesz & Ali M. Demirel (AT + TR) - @fennesz
Friday November 22, 2019 - NOCTURNE 1 (Fábrica)
WHO: Sound artist and guitarist Christian Fennesz (Vienna, Austria) and visual artist Ali M. Demirel (Turkey via Berlin).
STYLE: Ambient, soundscape, noise with experimental video, installation, A/V performance.
LATEST: Agora (Touch, 2019)- Fennesz, Winter Ashes A/V
in collaboration with Anthony Linell - Ali M. Demirel
LABELS: Touch Music, Editions Mego

Few contemporary laptop artists have attained the stature and universal respect that have greeted Austrian experimental guitarist Christian Fennesz. Beginning his music career in the Viennese underground as a member of the avant-rock group Maische, Fennesz soon broke away to solo undertakings in the then-nascent laptop experimentation scene, producing abrasive and often clinical sessions that began with the guitar only to be manipulated beyond recognition. He found early notoriety on the Austrian Mego imprint with releases such as Hotel Paral.lel and Fennesz Plays (in which he reinterpreted the Rolling Stones and Beach Boys), before finding larger audiences as a member of the well-received Fenn O’Berg, a trio consisting of Fennesz, Jim O’Rourke, and Mego label boss Peter Rehberg. After a steady ascent through the late-90s, Christian Fennesz hit the stratosphere with the release of 2001’s Endless Summer, an album that was universally accepted as an instant classic of modern electronic music. Since then, Fennesz has stayed at the forefront of digital production solo and with collaborative works with artists such as OZmotic and King Midas Sound. His comeback to Mexico City as part of MUTEK MX Edition 16 is marked by the release of Agora, a collection of four tracks produced in his bedroom and his first solo album since 2014, bringing back his most intimist, crystalline and essential sound. In this performance, Fennesz is accompanied by experimental video artist Ali M. Demirel, in a totally new collaboration that also represents new challenges for Ali, a regular contributor to minimal techno lives.

Ali M. Demirel stormed the video art circuit as director of the most iconic clips and video-scenographies of Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman. His background in nuclear engineering and architecture are a strong influence on his style, which has evolved in platforms, video installations and live performances in large format.

Black Propaganda - Introspection

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Marina Aleksandra. “Animal Industrial Complex" (Radolph & Mortimer Remix) is a work of pure fire which came to fruition in September 2019 when Marina contributed a slamming techno remix to R&M’s Exclude/Divide single, a massive remix that was featured in DJ sets around the globe and helped propel the single to the top of the  genre best sellers charts on Bandcamp.  Now the favor has been returned. R&M have taken Marina’s epic Techno original and re-worked it into a high energy EBM/Electro thrasher - taking Marina’s provocative vocal and looping it over raw synths and huge kicks and snares. This is peak time business for all the shutdown dance floors in the pandemic age. For the past couple years Aleksandra has been destroying clubs across Europe with her brvtalizing sound and high intensity DJ sets. This track proves once again why she has become one of our favorite artists to watch and you will definitely be hearing more from her soon on The Brvtalist.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere two tracks from Angel Attack’s upcoming release, Dance dance otherwise we are lost. The EP also launches the new label House of Reptile. Hailing from Peckham - London, the independent label seeks to unearth and introduce new artists to each other, instigate true collaboration, sharpen the artistic instinct and ultimately expand their vision to all four corners of the Earth. The first year will will see 4 EPs focused on the collaboration between London and European friends with the rising talents in South America.

Dance dance… gets the label off to a strong start with 5 diverse yet nicely linked tracks which range from the hard hitting peak time techno of “TransTanzTheater” to London multi-faceted artist Polanski’s sultry, hypnotic “Is This Happiness?” remix of “Orbits of Happiness”. Filmmaker, one of Colombia’s most exciting names, also lends his production prowess on his mind-bending “The Quandry Remix” of “Incessant Maze”.

Today we are thrilled to these two powerful works which give us a very satisfying taste of what’s to come on House of Reptile. Out on cassette, vinyl and digital later this summer. More at: www.thebrvtalist.com/angelattackhouseofreptile/

Whilst the world is on pause, we thought it be a good idea to showcase some works that have been moving us months before the lockdown kicked in. We wanted to share and replicate the same amount of electric vibrational emotions it initially had on us upon first listening to them, so the best way we could describe that feeling was by calling this VA series, Currents I. In this compilation theres some faces you know from the Power Station roster intersected with some soon to be Power Station release inductees, once this mess clears up obviously.

Anyways we hope you enjoy these as we have been waiting to share them for some time. Available now on bandcamp.

Stay safe

Sophie Du Palais - Disco Nihilist

Label curator Gonçalo Salgado's second release, 'Mistério E Fogo', delves into the raw and unfiltered outpouring of emotions, without relying on any specific instrument or effect. It is a candid exploration of repressed feelings of anger, violence, and hate, revealing a poetic and powerful side to rage in this honest and sincere release.

Preview of KH029: Zaliva-D - Immorality
Release date: 8th June 2020

Beijing-based duo Zaliva-D returns with a second installment on Knekelhuis. After last year’s great EP, released on Shanghai label SVBKVLT, Zaliva-D unleashes a new record in these unreal pandemic times. At its core is a concept of data’s capacity to overcome any boundary, whether that’s physical, digital or mental. 
The material at hand, created after the second European tour, pushes heavily through walls, with bombastically accentuated kicks. Blended with joyous, psychedelic songwriting, it is a testament to the power of music to unite despite involuntary confinement.
