PREMIERE: Hybral - You In Latex (Subverted)

Hybral‘s powerful track starts with dark aggressive beats and hauntingly ominous atmospheres, evoking feelings of being threatened, and continues with evolving dystopian modular ambiences that sharpen the intensity of the overall alarming timbre. 

The track shakes the listener into a state of disorientation and asks to question ourselves and our position in society. It evokes the power and necessity of movement and destruction as a source of change. By using awry harmonies and noisy chaotic sounds, Hybral expresses how queerness disrupts and reorders norms by not following accepted paths and normative aesthetics.

Hybral - Haunted Desires (Noise Manifesto)

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Hybral. "Affirmative Action" is the title track off the new 12" from Berlin-based artist Hybral. Returning to their own imprint, Subverted, Hybral delivers a masterful take on drone-infused industrial techno—a blend of organically futuristic and fancifully artificial sounds through which Hybral delves into a thrilling sonic exploration of dystopic Giger-esque themes. Drawing elements from their previous releases and merging them all together in more impactful ways than ever before, here Hybral presents their very own musical manifesto that—through a process of extensive introspection—references only itself, delivering a genre-defining, true original magnum opus. Featuring remixes of “Undoing Bias” by SUBVERTED residents Fluid—giving the track his signature high speed and high impact flair—and Nnamael—rewriting its tale through a progressively hypnotising structure. 

Affirmative Action is out November 21 on vinyl + digital. Pick yours up at: https://subverted1.bandcamp.com/album/affirmative-action

PREMIERE: Hybral - Affirmative Action [Subverted]

A collection of fragmentary productions spanning 2021-2024.
The tracks remain unfinished and unpolished - a conscious decision for imperfection-, reflecting a scattered, chaotic time, preserved as a significant snapshot even though they may never feel “complete.”

Like a curtain drawn over furniture, this EP hides nothing but instead frames and softens the raw, unfiltered state of these pieces. It protects them as they are, imperfect yet meaningful, giving them space to exist. 

Fragments is not a permanent closing chapter but rather a temporary pause in the style of industrial techno. With this fragmentary EP, Hybral is shifting focus to their ambient project Theo Thorin Búr and planning a new EP in collaboration with Fluid as PARALLEL TRANSPORT.

We curate queer sex-positive parties with equally queer line-ups, featuring mostly non-binary and trans DJs. Our aim is to platform artists with gender identities that are under-represented in the music industry, showing that it is possible to have more inclusive and diverse booking practices without a decrease in musical quality, but in fact with an increase by bringing new and previously unheard perspectives to the dance floor.

Discovering and nurturing new talent is at the very essence of SUBVERTED. We stand in resistance to the homogenisation and sanitisation to which the techno industry has been subjected in recent years via formulaic, easily-digested productions and repetitive line-ups, and intend to continue opening the industry's gates for a new generation of artists that are pushing their own unique and fresh take on dark industrial techno.
