ACTCAST002 - HYBRAL

Next Episode of Abaddon Podcast with Hybral

Hybral is a Berlin based non-binary DJ and producer focusing on the darker side of electronic music, ranging from contemplative cinematic ambient and more introspective and slower ritualistic leaning techno to rough, fast, industrial and uncompromising hard techno - capturing feelings of anger, anxiety, chaos, fear, tension, desire and pain. 
Through layering dark, driving, distorted and seductive beats with trembling textures, dystopian soundscapes and hauntingly eerie atmospheres, Hybral not only increases the intensity and energy throughout their sets towards the end, but also shows a different side of hard and industrial techno that is more inward looking, evolving and mind-bending while still maintaining the hard hitting sound experience. 
By using awry harmonies and chaotic noise, Hybral intends to express how queerness disrupts and reorders norms by not following accepted paths and normative sound aesthetics. Their tracks shake listeners into a state of hypnosis, disorientation and ask to question ourselves and our position in society. Alarming timbres, modulated ominous atmospheres and distorted kick drums, noisy and in reverberation immersed percussions evoke the power and necessity of movement and destruction as a source of change.

Abaddon Podcast 224 X Hybral

New York City-based BRÄLLE is a creative project born out of both fear and necessity. Prior to emerging on the techno scene with 2017’s ‘Dream State’, BRÄLLE had already spent nearly a decade composing albums and relentlessly touring globally in the underground Death Metal and Hardcore scenes. After leaving that world, the insatiable urge to create visceral and emotive productions did not fade, and as a result, BRÄLLE was born. This history has given the producer a unique perspective on the current global scene, highly removed from the cliques and trends that dominate the culture. The sound of BRÄLLE is swarming, psychedelic, and undeniably modern.

The Days Get Longer

For the 161st edition of the SYNOID Podcast, @hybral takes us back to our last Weekeder in October through layered and evolving soundscapes in their opening set. Hybral begins with deep, rolling sub-frequencies and adds textured percussion and dystopian atmospheres, creating intricate details that unfold over time. "For me, it’s all about the progression—the journey of crafting a mood and setting the tone for the night."

This set reflects Hybral’s love for opening sets, where the gradual progression from ambient, slower raw techno, and broken beats builds toward the intense energy of industrial sounds. The focus is on tension—not as simple build-and-release, but as an unrelenting, hypnotic rise that plays with the audience’s expectations. „I enjoy playing with the audience’s expectation of release, withholding it while the intensity continues to rise. It creates an obsessive and controlling energy, a subtle power play between the DJ and the audience. "

Enjoy the memories of our last weekender with Hybral’s dark, textured soundscapes and let the shifting nuances guide you through this deeply atmospheric set.

LPR-RS001 
For the first installment of this series of video and audio sets recorded in our LPR-Radio studio, we present: BRÄLLE.

Brooklyn-based BRÄLLE is a creative force forged in both fear and necessity. Before making their debut on the techno scene with 2017’s Dream State, BRÄLLE spent nearly a decade immersed in the relentless world of underground Death Metal and Hardcore—composing albums and touring globally. Stepping away from that realm did little to extinguish the drive to craft visceral and emotionally charged music. Out of this transition, BRÄLLE was born.

This rich history lends the producer a distinct vantage point on the global electronic music landscape, existing far beyond the confines of fleeting trends and insular cliques. With releases on labels such as Soma, Mindtrip, Evilgroove, and his own imprint, Adversarial Machines, BRÄLLE’s sound is a swarming fusion of the psychedelic and the modern.

He has released on labels like: Soma,  Sungate, Animal Farm, BAHN, Innsignn, Newrhythmic Recs, ISSXII, Immaterial Archives ,TMM, Suara, among others...
Soon we’ll have the pleasure of showcasing his exquisite work on Loopaina Records.

BRÄLLE [LPR-RS001] Febraury 15, 2025

The Rituals series rises again — a fresh strike carved deep into black wax. RITUAL12 summons an international assembly of techno insurgents from the OMEN roster, each delivering their own sonic rite. Across two sides, the intent is absolute: raw, unfiltered power pulled from the shadows and unleashed on the dancefloor.

[SIDE A]
SWARM INTELLIGENCE – Inexorable
Berlin’s Swarm Intelligence ignites the record with precision-tooled percussion and fractured basslines. Polyrhythmic tension winds tighter with every measure, industrial grit locking into a cybernetic march toward total hypnosis.

B.A.R.K – Shikijitsu
A bone-rattling invocation of distorted low-end and ceremonial drums. B.A.R.K drives forward like ancient machinery grinding to life, a Japanese primal energy sharpened to a deadly edge.

AXKAN & DUELLIST – Resilience
Mexico meets Scotland for a brutalist assault: hammering kicks, serrated synth textures, and walls of analogue saturation. No safe passage here — only forward momentum into the heart of chaos.

[SIDE B]
EAS – Honored One
From Los Angeles, EAS delivers a tense, ritualistic construction where a subterranean EBM bassline pulses through metallic drones. Hypnotic, uneasy, and charged with controlled dissonance.

HATELOVE & OGMAH – Hanged Bodies
A dark ceremonial groove heavy with ritual percussion and spectral synth chants. The layers rise to a fever pitch, blurring the line between transcendence and collapse.

CRYSTAL GEOMETRY + AXKAN – Kratom
France’s Crystal Geometry joins AXKAN for a militaristic strike of modular chaos and pummeling drums. EBM-infused basslines drive beneath razor-sharp synth fire, rallying the midnight faithful to the front lines.

RITUAL12 is not a compilation — it’s a convocation. Forged in analogue heat, drenched in distortion, and aimed directly at the heart of the floor, this record demands full surrender. Step in. There is no turning back.

All tracks written and produced by the featured artists.
