Vera and I met as residents at our beloved Club Basis and quickly found out Vera was moving in a similar direction as I did a few years ago. Since we both originally came from different backgrounds, the connection felt extra strong. This called for a B2B. The synergy was even more intense than we expected, turning into a three-hour journey of layering and going deeper and deeper, slowly building to a heavy and dark crescendo. I personally don't think I've ever built up a set this perfectly, and this can only really be attributed to the incredible chemistry we had here.

We’re so excited about the outcome, that we decided to share the set, and we sincerely hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did playing this.

Tracklist: Impossible. Just send a message or reply to the set, and we'll do our best to give the track ID <3

The third EP on Rituals is from Sleepy Cat, who is also a LA-based DJ and producer who is well-known within the city's underground club scene. 

Having made an impact with his visceral live recordings and intense, immersive, hardware performances, he has an eclectic style and this release showcases a cerebral and hypnotic side of his sound following appearances on Orly Gal's Hidden Symbols.  

"Church" brings an ominous, hypnotic vibe that mesmerises as much as it unsettles. This track is a testament to Sleepy Cat's ability to craft deeply engaging beats that resonate on both a physical and emotional level.

SYN Premiere: Secus - Disruption of Change (Declan James Remix) [RITUALS004]

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Secus. "Embers" comes off the new album, Shadow in Silence, forthcoming on Rituals. Lining up his latest offering, label head Secus returns with his debut album which unveils a deep dive into his sonic evolution with a curated selection of 8 original works from the past year, plus 2 remixes. The release reflects the shifting textures and hypnotic energy that define his signature sound. 

Blurring the lines between driving techno and immersive atmospherics, the album moves through intricate rhythms, layered harmonics, and a sense of tension that builds and releases across each track. Adding further depth to the project, remixes from SOLëM and Declan James offer fresh interpretations, pushing the sound into new territories.

Out April 18th. Pick it up at: https://ritualstechno.bandcamp.com/album/shadows-in-silence

Launched by the label boss himself, Rituals is an underground techno label from Secus, situated in Los Angeles, USA, which has released EPs from Sleepy Cat and SOLëM.

'Shadows in Silence' is Secus' debut album, which features a carefully chosen selection of eight original tracks that were created last year, and together with two remixes, he reveals a deep dive into his sonic progression. The mesmerising intensity and fluctuating textures that characterise his distinctive sound are reflected in the release, and his previous productions are Steve Parker's MUTED rec, Detroit's Blank Code, Lindsey Herbert's EvilGroove, Vegim's TMMR, and 6AM Group's Synthetik Sounds, to mention a few.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the opening track "Fate," with a twisted and unsettling sound. Dark vibrations and tides of electronic pulses pull and push in this abstract and fulfilling slice of hypnotic expressionism.

TC Premiere: Secus - Vanishing Point [ Rituals ]

Secus, a mainstay of Bay Area record label Peer, has returned with his sophomore release on the specialist imprint. The Los Angeles artist showcases his creative range in the Negative Form EP, a cross-section of underground techno through five original singles.

First among them is “Ascent,” whose hallmark feature is its polyrhythmic chime loops. Hair-raising atmospheres spill in slowly enough for a symphonic crescendo to sneak up on the listener before each instrument retreats to the shadows.

“Drift Signal” takes a different approach, beckoning primal movement by way of an extraterrestrial groove. Every few bars, a distorted air raid siren rings out, leaving a gentle echo to trail off over the savage syncopations below. Cycles of shrill intensity add a layer of intrigue to this peak-time cut.

A dissonant arpeggio instills an air of urgency at the outset of “Negative Form.” Looped to oblivion, this motif transforms over the course of the single’s runtime. It hypnotizes the listener so deeply that they scarcely notice any of the changes throughout the arrangement.

Of all the EP’s conjurings, “Obsidian Lens” is perhaps the most haunting. Bass stabs hit like hand drums in this psychedelic cut, whose expert use of Foley effects seems to reflect one’s shadow self through a mirror of sorts. It’s up to them whether they see it for what it is, though.

The EP closes out with “Falling Through Static,” the most melodic entry of its tracklist. A cinematic chord progression paints with a more accessible emotional palette than all that came before, not to be outshone by the cerebral sound design that has proven to be Secus’ calling card.

As such, it only makes sense that Peer would tap him for a sophomore release. The label stands out as a rare constant in a rapidly shifting arts ecosystem, following the unspoken rules necessary to cut through the noise and reach revered tastemakers. Secus evidently speaks this language as well.
