The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Oliver. The London-based DJ and producer's sound lies sound lies at the intersection between Post-Punk, EBM, Darkwave, Industrial and Rave. Cutting his teeth at London's warehouses and clubs, he is also emerging as a great producer, with his debut EP, ‘Knuckle Love’, released in late 2020 on St. Petersburg’s, Mosaique Records. Armed with remixes from Colombia’s Filmmaker and newly formed LANDER (one half of Years of Denial + Claus Fuss), the EP personifies the alternative space Gibson operates in.

Coming up he's also got a release on Oraculo and today we are thrilled to host this killer set which perfectly puts his sound in focus.

New Brvtalism No. 310 - Oliver

We always remember Diffuse Reality as a dynamic recording project, and since its first releases, it has always shown itself to be a very active label, very committed to the music scene they champion, and although it covers different musical genres derived especially from extreme sound treatments, it has always maintained a style that identifies them. We must bear in mind that this project was founded on corrosive and industrial techno, however, its development during these seven years of life has advanced in different directions, adding new proposals such as Teorema or Periphylla. 

Diffuse Reality returns to its origins with a release that honours its principles, ideals based on cooperation with big names and an attractive format. New York's Donor contributes four original tracks that are gutted and reworked by Alien Rain, Zadig, Squaric, Pfirter and Shao, plus a bonus track from Japan's Yuuki Sakai. In total the album is made up of 16 tracks and will be released on vinyl, cd and in digital format.

Release date: April 1st, 2022.

Premiere: Donor - Apollo (Squaric 5AM Remix) [Diffuse Reality]

SYNDROME

First up in Nicolas Bougaïeff’s ‘EP1’ is 'Primal Express', in which he returns to NovaMute for their next wave of releases with layers of elastic synth lines and rolling drum funk. It’s the first instalment in a three-part series on the Mute offshoot and is a dark but enticing work of heady minimalism featuring enchanting synths darting like cosmic rays into otherworldly dimensions. The psychedelic 'Obviate Thought' then boasts tight and punchy drums overlaid with haunting sounds that pan throughout the mix in tripped-out fashion. Last of all is 'Concrete Love,' a gritty and glitchy techno pumper with mind-melting loops and scratchy synth textures peeling off its percussion as the whole track powers on unrelentingly.
 
Berlin Academy of Electronic Music founder Nicolas Bougaïeff is not only a DJ who has played institutions such as fabric and Berghain, and a producer who has regularly released on Mute and NovaMute, but also someone involved in music technology. He designed the controllers for Richie Hawtin’s Plastikman Live tour, and in 2010 with Hawtin, he co-founded Liine, the company behind the landmark music app Lemur. Now, the Berlin-based Canadian Bougaïeff drops another artfully crafted and hugely potent techno EP with ‘EP1’, setting the tone for the stellar releases that will follow.

Sharing the same forward-facing approach to techno music, it was about time that Roman DJ and producer Adiel lands her debut EP on Stroboscopic Artefacts. Just a few months on from the drop of the label’s anniversary compilation ‘X – Ten Years of Artefacts’, featuring the broadest array of talents including Rrose, Shifted, Efdemin, Denise Rabe, Chevel, Lucy and more, the timing couldn’t be better for both her and Lucy’s mind-expanding visions to unify.

Following on from an array of 12-inches on her own imprint, including a recent joint effort with Anthony Linell, ‘If Not Now When?’ is an ode to the all-enveloping strangeness of eternal nights that cuts a path of ecstatic light in the dark. Breaking the ice, the title-track plunges us in an effervescing pool of menacing reverbs, bloopy signals and rippling synth tides on a murky tip, while its faster and sharper twin ‘At The Bottom Of The Sea’ vigorously ups the ante to ensure optimal peak time firepower.

Flip sides and here’s ‘If Not Me Who’ diving even deeper into tape-echo’ed bizarro, swashing back and forth from blunt lo-freq frenzy to liquid-like levitation. ‘ESRR’ rounds off the package on a further freaky note, merging heavily processed vocals and swampy, octave-shifting keyboard movements to form a slice of wild, cross-pollinated electronics laid upon a much enticing techno swing. The very epitome of surgically executed dance music with a fascinatingly soulful, nearly shamanic edge to it.
