The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Fairground Of Tears. "Execution (Melania. Remix)" comes off the new EP of the same on Instruments Of Discipline. The release features 5 originals and 5 remixes from the London-based producer who is also known for his forward thinking event series, Exiled and as a resident DJ of Noise Orchestra. The theme of the Execution EP is inspired by various documentary series about ritual murders and serial killings and questions what push people to the atrocity of taking a life. It is a look into the differences of how our brains are wired where one's pain and torment is another's ultimate pleasure.  

As always, Fairground waves through dense textures and styles and today we are happy to bring you the added heavy dose of Melania.'s remix. 

Out May 27th on limited cassette and digital. Pre-order here: https://instrumentsofdiscipline.bandcamp.com/album/execution-2

The central track of CONTRASTATE's brilliant new album "Life without Agriculture", CD out on Drone Records 02.2024 in the SYM series (SYM_05)

An album "re-imagining" some of the dadaist, futurist, and surrealist clubs of the 20th century, from Moscow 1918 over Tehran 1966 to Münster 1997; a wonderfully surprising and experimental work by the British post-industrial and ambient performance trio.
CONTRASTATE have created an amazing new work that is inspired by some historical, but also newer places (cafes, clubs, cabarets - including fantasised venues that could / should have existed), relating to the glorious times of the 'true' avantgarde.
"The arc that links them all is the experimentation, the exchange of ideas, and the platform to perform free from the “social norms” of the time." [Stephen Meixner of Contrastate]
The dreamy first half of the album establishes a very sombre and melancholic mood, but when the central pieces "London 1912" and "Zurich 1916" enter it leads to more collagenous and experimental areas, using guitar and bass harmonics, pulsing analogue electronics, spoken words, and all kinds of samples and weird processed sounds. The versatility especially of the second half allows for a fully immersive listening experience, with a vast array of details and twists.  "Imagination is subversive, because it puts the possible against the real. "That's why you should always use your wildest imagination. Imagination is the biggest gift humanity has received. Imagination makes people human, not work..." [Jan Švankmajer, "Decalogue", Touch Movements, 2017].
CONTRASTATE, formed in 1987, are a trio from London that have operated on the edge of experimental ambient, dark post-industrial, and performative art areas, often using spoken word lyrics with a strong political, anti-imperialistic approach/agitation. Their early 7" for Drone Records "English Embers" (DR-05) became one of the highlights in the series.

Quantec - Journey of Mind // Neighbour Recordings // 2 x 12"

Neighbour Recordings has decided to reissue this enthralling ambient dub masterpiece from Quantec and we're here for it. Journey Of Mind delves into the depths of electromagnetism and showcases Quantec's deeper side in cuts like 'Depth Of Immersion', 'Atmospheric Noise', and 'The Unknown'. Each track serves as a potent tool for self-introspection, with standout pieces like 'The Mystic Moon' offering a visceral journey through the mind's deepest and darkest corners. As such this album, with its pulsating rhythms and ethereal atmospheres, is one that proves the perfect soundtrack with which to explore the uncharted realms of consciousness and perception.

COAX
Dreams Shall Flesh [EP]

Marking his debut release, Coax introduces Dreams Shall Flesh, an EP that showcases his unique ability to craft ethereal soundscapes, pulsating techno rhythms, and immersive sonic textures. Featuring three original tracks—The Light, The Way, and The Truth—this release embarks on a hypnotic journey through deep, layered atmospheres, evoking a sense of transcendence and transformation.

Coax's music is a masterful fusion of heavy, distorted drones and shimmering synths, blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy. With meticulous attention to detail, his compositions create a profound sense of otherworldliness, seamlessly blending atmospheric textures with driving rhythms. The result is an enthralling mix of aggression and ethereality, designed to leave listeners spellbound.

The Light opens the EP with glowing synths and resonant bass, gradually unfolding into an immersive, otherworldly groove. The Way takes a darker turn, weaving eerie drones with intricate percussion for an entrancing effect. The Truth closes the trilogy with raw emotional intensity, where distorted textures and relentless rhythms create a gripping sonic experience.

The EP also features two stunning reinterpretations. ISB’s Remix transforms the track into a vast ambient journey, stretching the frequencies into an expansive, meditative exploration. Opake’s Remix injects an exciting, rising twist to the original groove, layering evolving melodies and dynamic rhythms for a fresh, kinetic take.

As his first official release, Dreams Shall Flesh is a bold statement, solidifying Coax's presence in the electronic music scene. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres, his music offers the perfect sonic backdrop for those seeking to be lured into a dark and atmospheric world. With this debut, Coax sets the stage for a sound that is both dreamlike and visceral, a captivating exploration of the unknown.

COAX - The Way

St33p1ng d33p into the glitch vortex, where neon cracks the night,  
Rhythms shatter into code—each rhyme, a burnt manifesto of digital plight.  
Decks sprawl like fractals, every scratch a pixelated secret,  
In the labyrinth of vinyl bytes, our raw story’s hacked and incomplete.

Bass thumps like corrupted heartbeats in cyber-lit streets,  
Every drop syncs in broken loops, a pulse that glitches, repeats.  
Crate diggin’ in the data mines, scavenging relics of analog souls,  
Vinyl confessions, raw and unfiltered—each cut a bug that boldly scrolls.

No filters, no facades—just truth splintered in every spin,  
The cipher’s our asylum, where wild code and chaos begin.  
Cipher codes like JZHF LUJZTH—a digital enigma, neon-fractured lore,  
Translating raw, glitch-infused energy into a blaze of pixel fire and more.

Ride the surge of broken bytes, let each record spout its flare,  
Cadence unbound, time disintegrated—freedom crackling in the air.  
In this one-take freestyle, above static and shattered noise,  
Vinyl tales morph into glitch dreams—a movement that destroys.

So here’s to the unscripted, to the chaos that frees,  
Hands deep in the crate, heart wired to the mix—raw codes on the breeze.  
Keep that needle glitching stories, let the moment disintegrate and fly,  
In this burnt-out realm of vinyl magic, we’re forever lost in the sky.

ATRIUM CAST 038: ETHAN FAWKES

In a world where humanity and machines blur together, nature's rawness still lingers amidst the cold, dystopian landscape of technology. 
Society, shaped by rapid progress, is a battleground of contrasts - nature fighting against machinery, life against precision. 
This future, born of rebellion against the present, raises questions about humanity's place. 
It's a grim reflection on a society slowly eroding itself, as the line between flesh and metal fades into a nightmare that consumes everything it touches.

Serpent Hearts - echo of a times before fall of civilization.

TEOCHAO PODCAST #086 - Serpent Hearts Live

DRONE RECORDS is a label-project and mailorder-service for mainly atmospheric & experimental music, based in Bremen, Germany.

DRONE RECORDS as a (vinyl-only) LABEL started in 1993 with a very idealistic, uncommercial attitude & philosophy, influenced by the independent cassette-culture scene from the 80’s.

The 7"-label series was active from 1993 to 2010 with 100 released "drones" (7" EPs), presenting mainly newcomers from the international experimental "drone"-scene.

In the meantime, late 2005 a second series / sub-label has started, this time on 10"-vinyls, named SUBSTANTIA INNOMINATA. This series with a special concept embracing the "Unknown" could be seen as an interface between experimental music & cultural science, psychoanalysis and philosophy. See www.substantia-innominata.de for details.

Now, at the end of the year 2011, we have started a new LP-series called "DRONE-MIND//MIND-DRONE" - dedicated to the drones of the world - and the drones of our minds. Presenting 4 artists for each volume, this is a continuation of the drone 7" concept, the new era of drones !
