Umwelt - Future Darkness - Newflesh Records (NF01)

Dj Mag Review:
UMWELT
Post Human Satamile
The title really says it all. While NY imprint Satamile has a reputation for releasing uncompromising material,, French producer Umwelt applies his focus even deeper into the electro abyss. 'P.O.W', with its ghoulish riffs and industrial influences,, recalls a time when it was dangerous to walk the streets of New York. 'Biological Entity' and 'Zeta Reticuli Incident - a reference to Umek's electro alter ego - are powered by humming low-end intensity, while the hyper-breaks of'Delinkant' suddenly spiral out of control, like an angry crowd on the verge of rioting. This is the sound of new world disorder, frightening and unpredictable but strangely alluring.

UMWELT
biography
Lyon, France !


Behind Umwelt is a french music fanatic and an electronic music promotion activist. 
He is a real radio passionate: he has run radio broadcasts since 1993 and Teknocity since 1999.

As a DJ, going by the name of Freddy'J, he started mixing hardcore in 1993.. Now he is more eclectic. He plays electro, electrobreaks, breakbeat, breakcore... but he still has a weakness for dark sounds . 
He has outstanding mixing abilities; a french journalist saied “he is the Mozart of descks!”. Actually, he has not only a perfect technique but also a huge feeling by   leading people on a physical and mental travels.

As an artist, Umwelt he has been composing electronic music since 1996 and released his first tracks in 1997. He began producing techno and electro on his own labels Shelter and Fundata Records that have met a great success. Now his sounds are more electro, dark and broken. From the beginning, he has exclusively worke with hardware: this man loves machines ...he doesn't find computers and softwares very attractive and very sexy...

The Zeta Reticuli Incident by Umwelt

In a Syrian Tongue

Blinding Horses

For our next premiere we look into US-based producer @Dimentia

Active since 2001, Dimentia is the primary project of Oakland based artist Sean Dimentia. Grounded in the roots of dark Electro, Techno and Industrial, the project is based in hardware production and live performance. 

Dimentia has toured both in Europe and the US and has released music on a number of record labels and has been an actively dedicated community member with underground music collectives Katabatik, Flowershop and Spaz Sound Systems, promoting and supporting underground esoteric electronic music in the Bay Area for over 20 years. 

The track chosen to debut for @DarkScienceElectro is one of six compositions produced for this EP. The track you will hear was made using only the following gear: Octatrack, Analog Rytm, Virus B, Nord Micro Modular, Roland SVC 350, Eventide Timefactor and a Sonic Alienator. This throbbing and grinding track draws on Industrial influence in a while still maintaining a straightforward Electro approach. The other standout track for me on the release is 'Joules'. This self-released EP was released on June 21st and can be purchased below:

PREMIERE: Dimentia - Masochist

For this premiere we take a listen to a new side-project from a well-known Electro veteran under the name 'Empty Orchestra' for his own imprint @Transparent-Sound

This release features a classic Electro track by the label boss Orson (as Empty Orchestra), alongside  remixes by Brighton-based electronic producer @AleroMay and Malta based @Acidulant - The track selected to premiere for @DarkScienceElectro is one of the remixes from the EP by 30 year old artist Acidulant.

This track was recorded late 2018. In this remix, Acidulant brings forward a twist of melodic Electro music mixed with dark textured Braindance synth-work and bass lines. The track builds up slowly with a heavy melodic approach and then transforms into a darker rhythmic voyage inspired by the tones of the original track. The track was composed using Korg MS20, Roland TR-8, Korg Radias, Roland SH-01a and a Eurorack Modular Synth.

This record will be released on May 6th, 2019

PREMIERE | June - The Master Of Electricity [June] 2019

Cat-No: F//017

“Mirror Glaze Lavish” is Marc’s latest effort in trying to depict his cynical and disillusioned view of the present-day music scene, seen through a sonic magnifier that emphasizes its greatest controversies, by juxtaposing different electronic languages as a challenge to the current levelling artistic trends. The artist personality is nullified, standardized to a state of placid non-critical thinking. Everyday’s emptiness emerges as the structure of reality and only the cracks in it still lead to life. “Great souls suffer in silence”, once said Friedrich Schiller, but what if silence becomes an audible, danceable image? As if all these electro cuts, differently permeated with a balanced mix of playful darkness, were populated by eerie animals that cannot find peace with their habitat and keep dancing relentlessly until the very end of their miserable existence. Seen in this context, each of Marc’s tracks must be interpreted as an irreverent and poignant act of self-assertion vis-à-vis his contemporaries. Morah’s reinterpretation of “Celexxa” adds value to the original track, taking us for a dirty ride on a psycho-electro-charged rollercoaster.

Tracklist: 

A1 - Don't Fuck With Schiller
A2 - Celexxa
A3 - Control Freak
B1 - Dugivrat
B2 - Stenography
B3 - Celexxa (Morah Remix)

Extermination Expression - Pugna (Blood River EP)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a track from NeuGrau. A brand new project from Ingmar Pauli and Saša Rajković, their sound brings to mind rough 80s/90s dark wave with a punk/rock tinge and bass guitar as the lead instrument. The EP, Beneath The Skin (She Lost Kontrol), has a little bit of everything and can’t quite be categorized into one or two genres. From infectious body and wave elements, lead bass and Saša Rajković's signature vocal stylings, this took us by surprise in the best possible way. Today we premiere the title track and it’s an outstanding journey of nostalgic 80’s post-punk with an unmistakably modern story to tell. 

Out April 1st on 12” pressed on black with a limited run of transparent available through the label. Read more and Pre-order yours now at: www.thebrvtalist.com/neugraubeneaththeskin/

Nørbak - Land Of Sin 
Flesh To Ashes LP [WU66LP / Warm Up Recordings]

Produced by Artur Moreira aka Nørbak
Mastered by Carlos Koschitzky at Koschitzky-Mastering
Artwork by Acid Hazel
Released by Warm Up Recordings from Spain
Release Date : January 29th. 2021
Format - Vinyl and Digital

The portuguese scfi maker Nørbak is back home after his Faktor EP from January 2019. These non clubbing days look like the perfect scenario for listening to long distance works, so here you have this brand new album to enjoy at your private soundsystem.

Flesh to Ashes will be released both physically and digitally, with an extra track on the downloadable version.

Nørbak is well known for his precision and deepness, always pushing forward production wise, focusing on the details and sound design aspects.

The album gravitates between beatless cuts, broken beats, profound exercises and virtual dancefloor weapons.

Intro and Camera (the extra digital track) belong to the first category, The third morality is the broken cut, Flesh to ashes and Land of sin explore the deepest side of techno and the rest of the tracklist is about peak time tracks.

The overall feeling while listening to this album is travelling out there where no gravity is the mood, swinging among stars and constellations, landing on undiscovered planets … a landscape with no viruses or facemasks or repression.

A collection of attemporal tracks that will surely pass the test of time and be ready to be playable whenever this nightmare ends.

Land Of Sin

Support & Buy

PREMIERE : Nørbak - Land Of Sin [Warm Up Recordings]

A malevolent obscurity is followed by a sentimental melancholy drifting towards a deep journey into the introspection and the subconscious. It constantly emerges into the horrific and ritualistic soundscape of cryptic techno, of ancient tribal images, and of industrial dystopian visions, all melancholy is then shattered for having embraced evilness.
