"Ottoman Grüw invited me to make a 1 hour mix for Operator Radio. It features works by friends in different corners of the world and also some recent collaborations, duets. The tone is wide, there are some wide spaces but also intense energy. I have gotten to know Jean (Ottoman Grüw) over the past couple of years, from doing work to mobilize artists to speak out in support of Palestinian human rights, to working together on a series of shows in Brussels. I hope that you enjoy the mixtape. Thanks for listening. - Stefan."

TEOCHAO PODCAST #095 - Couronne de Merde

Basée au Royaume-Uni et résidente chez Natural Selection, EKATA s’est forgée une réputation grâce à son approche sombre, cinématographique et influencée par la science-fiction de l’Electro et de la Techno.

Avec des sorties sur AVOIDANT (Soma Records) et des sets mémorables dans des lieux emblématiques comme TRESOR, FOLD, UNFOLD, Loone et HÖR Berlin, elle continue de se démarquer dans la scène électronique underground.

Son travail a trouvé un écho chez des figures visionnaires du monde de l’électro, recevant les éloges et le soutien de noms influents tels que Anthony Rother, The Advent, Andrea Parker et Plant43, pour n’en nommer que quelques-uns.

Le son d’EKATA mêle rythmes dystopiques, textures mécaniques et profondeur émotionnelle – créant des paysages sonores immersifs et puissants. Sélectrice engagée, dotée d’un instinct affûté et d’une vision artistique audacieuse, elle propose des sets percutants et transportants qui captivent l’auditeur.

ATRIUM CAST 046: EKATA

For Entropy’s October radio show, Ottoman Grüw presents his DJ set recorded from La Station - Gare Des Mines for Tech Noire in Paris.  

OTTOMAN GRÜW is the sulfurous technoid project of Brussels-based artist and Mutant Modality label founder Jean Grünewald (Theatre Of Light / A Body Without). Operating at the crossroads of mutant industrial-minded electronic music, OTTOMAN GRÜW has developed a singular style of frenetic, hallucinatory compositions — combining the mechanical structures of Techno, Electro, and EBM with elements of Ambient and Post-Punk. Driven by a constant need for renewal and a distinctly interdisciplinary inspiration, the sound of OTTOMAN GRÜW explores post-human themes, unknown futures, and worlds beyond existence — bridging the gap between alienation and transcendence while intertwining our grim reality with sonic fiction through a sharp command of rhythmic machine patterns, synth work, and vocals drenched in seared distortion.  Active since 2017 through live performance, music production, and DJing, the multifaceted artist brings a decadent yet hypnotic energy to the dancefloor, injecting otherworldly soundscapes into the raw functionalism of body-control.

ENTROPY//36 - OTTOMAN GRÜW

Forbidden Teachings is honoured to welcome back Italian artist NighT\mare for the release of his first full-length album on the label.

Across ten carefully crafted pieces, “Through” channels the artist’s singular sound, one that resonates through the bones and awakens what lies dormant within.

Through pain and despair, through love and hope, the album becomes a passage through impermanence itself, revealing the fragile veil that both binds and defines us. Can the soul ever truly break free, or are we destined to remain shaped by these shifting forces? 

“Through” offers no answers, only a mirror for those willing to look.


Tracklist :
A1 Through
A2 The Succession Of Things
A3 Rising
B1 Flagellum
B2 Beyond The River
C1 Arise
C2 Mental Breakdown
D1 A Lack of Caress
D2 Exhausted
Resilience (Digital bonus) 

Artist: Nigh/T\mare
Title: Through
Label: Forbidden Teachings
Cat No: FT004

Release Date : 8 December 2025

Nigh/T\mare - Through LP 2x12” [FT004]

The next iteration of the MK-ULTRA mix series is presented by Scottish-born artist & DJ swærm who crafts a visceral and uncompromising sound rooted deep in the underbelly of body music. Drawing from the raw textures of early industrial, the brooding atmospheres of wave, the menacing urgency of post-punk, and a wide spectrum of dark electronic influences, his sound is a confrontational yet hypnotic fusion, designed as much for physical movement as for psychological immersion.

As the founder and curator of N.I.M [Northern Industrial Movement], swærm pushes his vision beyond the studio. The label and accompanying podcast series serve as a platform for highlighting artists and sounds that echo the label's ethos: cold, raw, and relentless. Through N.I.M, swærm cultivates a space where the darker, harsher edges of electronic music are not only preserved but amplified.

[ A BODY WITHOUT ]

Stemming from a self-regulating process while operating freely in order to express its pure forms and functions, A BODY WITHOUT is a new collaboration between @ottomangruw &  @2_2_5— drawing inspiration from Industrial Techno, Rhythmic Noise and EBM. The project incorporates heavy, doom-like atmospheres to exalt psychic tension while channeling occult knowledge and the rage of existence to transmute energy into sound. First EP will see the light in 2026.

鬼面 : GWI MYEON PODCAST 060 A BODY WITHOUT

< what if the catastrophic wreckage of modernity, beneath its ruins, gave us the chance to discover new possibilities? what if new forms of mutant expression emerged from the destruction? >

MUTANT MODALITY is a hub for subversive frequencies. From the fringes of club culture to experimental, dark electronics and other decadent journeys.
