An anthem for a generation of microbes... saars is spreading the russian virus again, I guess.

Dutch sound artist Albert van Abbe now joins the raster family, with an unexpected collaboration with founder Olaf Bender aka Byetone titled DUAL. Having spent time working side by side in ’s-Hertogenbosch at the Willem Twee Studio, the result of their collaboration is both smooth and haptic, rounding out as an expressive camaraderie between the two veteran producers. Jovial and innocent, DUAL alludes to the experimental research process of finding common ground. Fully embracing the haphazard richness of live recordings, the result is a remarkable fusion of contrasting outputs; intricate collaborative efforts and byproducts woven together with an eager indifference towards expectation. 

The artists embrace a skewed navigation through pronounced highlights, intricate lulls and moments of temporal stasis, intermittently punctuated as a means of intentionally avoiding notions of rigid perfection. With ‘real-time’ approach directing DUAL’s creation, the pair effectively shies away from any meticulous planning, and the music runs free and negates any rigid parameters one might have expected. Quirky titles exude the collaged form of the release, and underline its innocent charm. As a whole, DUAL focuses on the creative process and fully engages listeners with its own dialogue, though it is very outspoken, at times even abrasive.

On Ne Part Pas

after their highly acclaimed debut album »decadent yet depraved«, berlin and LA-based producers belief defect invited a variety of artists to join their »remixed« project. the following 12” EP is a first four-track release of this project.

the original tracks of the album are only an approximate starting point for »remixed«. in contrast to »decadent yet depraved«, largely conceived in song structures, this EP is about transferring the pieces back into abstract space, and each remixer does it in his very own way. alessandro cortini’s one-take live recording is a lesson in classical ambient music. telefon tel aviv’s remix is timelessly modern and extremely delicate sound design. rather opposite concepts are coming from surachai’s brutal pattern design and kangding ray’s expressive and analogously saturated repetitions for the dance floor.

»remixed 01« will be released on february 08, 2019 on vinyl and digitally, further releases will follow. as with »decadent yet depraved«, the cover photo was created by sarah sitken.

We give full streaming on the Five to Nine track  by AN-i and Unhuman release on L.I.E.S Records 

It's raw, brazen dynamic and willing to cover different influences.
Chunked into sections of literally relentless beats and repeated snare strikes which roll and explode "noise climaxes" that can easily trap you while Lee Douglas’ voice is not giving you the space to escape. No Breath. 

Artist:An-i + Unhuman 
Track: Five to Nine

Label: L.i.e.s Records
Format: 12''
Release Date: July, 2019

Premiere #49 AN - I + Unhuman - Five To Nine [L.I.E.S. Records]

One could be forgiven, if stumbling upon some nameless wav files, for thinking the White Stains back catalogue was perhaps a collection of unfinished pre-2012 Lust For Youth tracks Hannes Norrvide never got round to vocalising. Layered, synthetic pads are held together under ultra-bright melodies and an all-encompassing lo-fi atmosphere. Yet herein lies the beauty of the project; that it can present a sense of absence and still feel, ultimately, fulfilling.

But this new album is leap forward for White Stains' Belgian protagonist, Koenraad Impens. Pale Desires tip-toes tenderly the line between the washed-out synthpop of old and a move into a cleaner, more delicate territory. This is a far less aggressive incarnation of the project and whilst retaining some essential elements much of the harsh lo-fi aspect has been stripped away in favour of more ambient textures.

It's a sign of maturity; once commanding presence, now reclining under fading neons, White Stains is perhaps becoming the project it always wanted to be.

White Stains - Constant Summer

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Evitceles. Following acclaimed releases for electronic powerhouses as Opal Tapes, Yerevan Tapes, Seagrave or Sofia-based Amek Collective among others, Bulgarian producer Etien Slavchev presents Нелюбов (Sound + Matter). Roughly translating in English as 'Nonloveʼ itʼs exactly what youʼll get from the record. Нелюбов is mostly occupying the lower ends of both the frequency and the emotional specters of Evitcelesʼ music. 

Today we present the video for “Weak Eyes”, one of our favorite tracks on the album and a slow burning, rhythmic work of haunting atmospheres with a trip-hop vibe. The whole album is an incredible work of genre bending tracks and shows the diverse range of Evitceles. 

Нелюбов is out September 25th and you can pick it up on now on Bandcamp.
