JOHN MAUS lives in his birthplace of Austin, Minnesota. Whilst working towards his PhD in Political Science, he also composes music that taps into melancholic fantasy and affirms that we are all truly alive. Questing synthesizers, tensely strung bass lines and chasing drum machines providing the perfect backdrop for John's deeply resonant reverb-drenched vocal. Born in the decade of synth pop and sharing his birthday with George Frideric Handel, John started making music when Nirvana posters went up on every teenager’s wall. It’s this curious conflux of influences that partially helps to describe John’s music. It’s a world where the Germs jam with Jerry Goldsmith, Cabaret Voltaire relocate to Eternia and Josquin des Prez writes a new score for RoboCop. The confrontation of punk, the fleeting poignancy of 80’s movie soundtracks, the insistent pulse of Moroder and the spirituality of Medieval and Baroque music all find salvation in John Maus.

We Must Become The Pitiless Censors Of Ourselves breaks new ground for Maus. The shirt pulling and air punching of his impassioned live performance is finally captured in all its frenzied appeal alongside a tender inner space that wasn’t as apparent on his previous albums. It’s a record where promise takes the lead for the first time, providing a counterpoint to John’s default existential calling.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Mickey Dagger. He returns to New York's Samo Records with the exceptional EP "I Want to Be A Cowboy". For his cover of the ‘80s kitsch track "I Wanna Be A Cowboy,” featuring Athena, he adds his signature dark and slightly sarcastic spin. On the remix side, Antoni Maiovvi delivers a big room mix, Thomas Von Party a breaky one, Ortrotasce with an old-school industrial/EBM version and label head Facets, who was convinced by Mickey to provide his own take.

Out October 1st on Bandcamp. All the proceeds will be going to ISKWEU Project an indigenous women's shelter in Canada: https://samorecords.bandcamp.com/

Paul Smith AKA PAS1 is a talented producer from Liverpool, where he developed a strong passion for Jungle, Dubstep & 2-Step Breaks. Hence, PAS1 is focused on creating music in the 130 - 160bpm range, using his Mackie Mixing Desk & Roland MC303 drum machine to achieve his authentic sound. He’s had previous releases on ‘Draconican Audio’ & ‘More Cowbell’, as well as producing Techno under his other alias ‘Innenwelt’.

After living in Liverpool, PAS1 moved down south to Brighton,  eventually ending up in Bristol, where he built his studio and got involved with Bristol’s ‘Escher Collective’ - a Bristol-based beat movement in which producers meet up in a venue to test their exclusive dubs on a sound system. This level of friendly competition pushed PAS1 to create some of the best music he could, which has led to the birth of 'Concrete Dubs'.

The EP is a testament to PAS1’s versatility and production skills as the album seamlessly flows from big sub-heavy bangers such as ‘Send’ and ‘Air Max’ to some smooth jungle with intricate rolling breaks in ‘Virtual Reality’, and then finally finishing it off with a seriously weighty cherry on top, the drum and bass tune ‘Return The Map’.

PREMIERE: PAS1 - Return The Map [Brick Sweat Records]

Like meeting an old friend again, Dalmata Daniel welcomes DJ Overdose back to their catalog. Six years ago the infamous Dutchman’s ’05 Poly 800 Loop’ EP was released, which served as a powerful launch to Dalmata Daniel, opening the first chapter in their story. Later in 2019, a split release with Sematic4 was also a highlight in the life of the label; and now, 3 years later, DJ Overdose checks in with the ‘Powers of Ten EP’ with a J. Mono remix, available both in digital and vinyl format, the latter having 2 bonus tracks.

The distinct, crunchy sound of DJ Overdose, bearing aspects of old school hip-hop-infused sampling and contemporary analog vibes creates the perfect blend of both worlds. ‘Garden of Lust’ opens up the adventure with a combo of warm basslines and solid drum-programming. This initial track feeds us these cardinal elements as the bread and butter they are: subtle variations and fine spices do appear here and there as the track goes along, but the key, beating pulse in ‘Garden of Lust’ brings massive hits stable as a sledgehammer in the hands of a blacksmith.

‘Feed The Beats’ elevates the game to cinematic territories: its majestic string-like central melody makes me alert and ablaze, making me feel like I’m in a late 80s L.A. setting facing malevolent zombie-aliens in my Wayfarer shades. Blasting beats and Carpenterian coolness all over the place, while the spooky bassline just keeps sneaking up on me endlessly.

If you are wondering when’s the best time of the year to bring out your boombox at last, then this is your lucky day: with ’BOB’, the first bonus track on the vinyl, we can experience some roarin’ bassdrums, snappy snares, MCs with the speed of light and all that jazz. The low-bit sampling and vinyl scratching come and kick you right in the face so hard that it becomes pretty obvious you’ll can’t help but start some serious beatbox battles in your bathtub with your rubber duck.

A feverish groove in the prime time of a funky bash, in the haze of a sensual rave-up: that’s all one really wants when going for a Saturday night out. We definitely get this and much more from ‘Room 714’, another vinyl-only bonus track. A berserk voice and ethereal chords guide us through this mysterious track, but while we are busy trying to impress our crushes on the dance floor, things around us are slowly getting very, very freaky, maybe a bit way too freaky.

As wobbly and jolly as it gets, our Dutch friend ends his session with ‘Ðr ¡v€ M€ ¢r@z¥’, a vocoder-heavy disco banger, full of merry vocal FX and smart rhythmic glitches as he completes his flight. To close the EP, our local hero, J. Mono delivers an insane remix of ‘Ðr ¡v€ M€ ¢r@z¥’: one can clearly imagine how he grabs and turns the BPM knob all the way up, fires up some arpeggios on his mighty synths and casts a complete reimagination of the original track.

Deft - "Holon" [2020LDN005]

Temperatures are dropping and we’re all feeling the effects. Bordello A Parigi is letting the cold winds of the north swirl inside its doors with Russia’s Volta Cab bringing a fresh 2LP to the table. A spread of influences come together for the eleven tracks of Rise Again. Take “Emerald’s Phantasy”, a piece built on layers of percussion that blends elements of disco with notes of techno. “Dark Room” is a different affair. Arctic chords are cut with electro and distant vocals for an unsettling treat. “Kruger” stomps to a terse beat before lush pads bloom in a work that builds to dizzying peaks. Warm blasts balance these colder moments, the rich grooves of “Savage Fury”, the floor filling funk of “Board Scandinavia” and the removed romance of “Sweet Exorcist” all show another shade to the Volta Cab sound and of course there’s more. Rise Again is an audio collection of vibrant colours and hues, tracks pitch from icy blues to autumnal ambers and fiery reds; a musical kaleidoscope that stretches across a spectrum of styles.
