The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Semantix. "Viol8or" comes off the new album, Violent Protocol, coming out on American imprint DKA. The solo project of Keaton Khonsari (Razorbumps, Narrow Head), Semantix is the result of years in the Texas underground that Khonsari spent learning synthesis and production. Violent Protocol contains 5 originals and three remixes from DKA alumni Balvanera and Autumns along with Orlando's Mother Juno. 
The result is a killer release featuring raw, ebm onslaughts like our premiere today, "Viol8or". 

Violent Protocol is out January 13th on cassette and digital. Pick yours up at: https://dkarecords.bandcamp.com/album/violent-protocol

Welcome to the free and the wild. Free Range is Ernestas Sadau and DKA co-founder Matt Weiner, and theirs is a uniquely dynamic and textured brew of mutant beat, acid industrial, slow psy-hop and hauntological EBM, churning and percolating with equal doses of the primordial and the futuristic. Wild Life being somewhat of an impressionistic concept album, the imagery here is animal-focused, but drawing on a kingdom more far-ranging and uncannily peculiar than anything we’ve been exposed to IRL: imagery invoked includes animorphs on the moon and prehistoric amphibians at the bus stop, or lizards playing guitars connected via usb directly to the sun and powered by pure helium, hacktivist jaguars in mangy gamer chairs wearing paper sunglasses, or just regular old wooly mammoths reemerging from the blacktop.

Wild Life’s nine pieces make a consistently heavy program of thud and thonk that somehow manages to cultivate plenty of stylistic contrast, strikingly organic and wildly imaginative. Album-oriented listeners are treated to a thematic coherency that spans the 4/4 driving and sometimes chugging prog-house gurgle of “Prokofiev’s Dog” and the non-Burner desert acid psychedelia of “Lizards on the Sun” and still has room for the sublime in “Panda Mick”, a gorgeous emotive slice of electronica that conjures something between The Knife and Enya. This adventurous breadth to the material that confidently justifies the album format is a striking aspect to all three Free Range records, but has never been more pronounced than now, with an arc spanning the chasm between the haunted space kraut of “Jaguar Is Waiting” to “Goat In The Shell” with its CGI-cinematic d’n’b—think cyber heist scenario featuring the Word paperclip help avatar adorned in a raved up tracksuit. From primordial germ to synthetic multi-cerebellum’d synthetic being, the evolutionary arc on display in Wild Life is a truly special offering DKA is honored to present to its dedicated listeners human and animal alike.

Following up on 2021’s ORDER, Anglo-Australian EBM/Synth-Punk project delivers a 3-track statement, a preview of intent and a sonic flag-planting PSYOP, guiding the masses to anticipate next year’s full length LP, TOMORROW’S DREAM. Taken from a body of work stretching over 2-years of writing and touring various scenes around the UK and Europe, these tracks have been tactically chosen to put the listener in the crosshairs. Their raw, infectious and unadulterated sound gets under the skin and we're excited to bring you the first track of the EP today, "Heaven's Gate".
