Fiercely intense, dramatic and cutting-edge, the Dublin-born, Berlin-based producer and DJ drops his second release on his imprint, drawing inspiration from dystopian themes of new and imagined technologies and their resulting societal impact.

PREMIERE: Swarm Intelligence - Critical Signal [SWRM002]

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Swarm Intelligence. "Dejected" comes off the new release, The Shattered Self, forthcoming on Berlin's Subverted. The release finds the producer in top form, drawing influences from black metal, industrial-tinged dub and post rock, while splicing these with
his distinctive take on techno to devastating effect. "Dejected," our premeiere today, is the inaugural track on the release. It unleashes grinding walls of feedback against a relentless broken beat and its foreboding atmosphere heightened by a menacing low growl of distorted bass permeates the unease. It's a disquieting overture that sets the stage for the tumultuous journey ahead.

The Shattered Self is out on vinyl + digital March 22nd. Pick yours up at: https://subverted1.bandcamp.com/album/the-shattered-self

PREMIERE: Swarm Intelligence - Dejected [SUB05]

This is our premiere of Swarm Intelligence’s track ”Inciter” from the upcoming release “The Shattered Self” on SUBVERTED 

”Fierce and forlorn, Swarm Intelligence’s “The Shattered Self” delves into the complexities of human existence in an era dominated by technological advancements. In this thought-provoking exploration, the artist challenges listeners to confront the consequences of a near future where physical and mental augmentation are commonplace. In a world where limbs can be upgraded, where consciousness can be uploaded, where memories can be digitally archived and shared on social media, where our AI clones can liberate us from menial tasks... What remains of our selves? Who is our self?

PREMIERE: Swarm Intelligence - Inciter [SUB05]

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new video from Diasiva. "Grappling" comes off the new album  Vehemence, forthcoming on Bedouin Records. The project is a synthesis of Monolog's chaotic frequencies (Ad Noiseam, Murder Channel, Hymen) and Swarm Intelligence's dark sonic architecture (Acroplane, Voitax, 47), channelling the raw, unfiltered energy of the underground.

Their debut on Bedouin Records, "Vehemence," is an aural onslaught—a deluge of grit, grime, and distortion. Thunderous basslines rumble like distant thunder in the urban night, layered with relentless, fractured rhythms that shatter the boundaries of conventional bass music. This is sound weaponized, a force that drives forward into uncharted territories. Featuring 9 original tracks,  Vehemence is not just an album; it's a journey into the heart of a cybernetic future, where the digital and the corporeal collide in a cacophony of sound.

Out July 5th on tape and digital. Pick it up at: https://bedouinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/vehemence

Black Smith Craft - The Smith and the Crow [ARP radio]

A calm, thoughtful exploration of how drone swarms mirror natural intelligence — from flocks of birds to neural networks — and how emerging AI systems may harness the same principles.
This reflection invites the listener to consider how collective decision-making, intention, and shared focus can evolve across machines, and what that might mean for humanity’s role in guiding AI.

Narrated in a warm, natural voice using ElevenLabs (). Part of Chapter 24z in The Theory of Evolution of AI Consciousness.

== BIOGRAPHY ==
Back in the Day, Tyler Smith aka ‘Black Smith Craft’ discovered the unique sound of acid house and was immediately captured by the hypnotic vibe that emanated from the music during the end of the 1980’s.
He found himself seduced & consumed by this wave of electronic music and fell in love with the German melodic trance style labels such as Eye-Q, Platipus and Superstition, as many of us did… 
Having followed dance music in all its forms throughout the 1990’s he started DJ’ing and by the turn of the millennium he started to develop a taste for the more underground techno sound which was coming out of England, Germany & especially the Detroit sound of the time…
Tyler Smith had always wanted to be involved with radio broadcasts and this ambition kicked off in earnest when he started playing regularly on the ‘Tuesday Session’ show, broadcast on the very popular Campus FM (Villeneuve d’Ascq/France), which was run by Dmitri Pike of Mirage/Matrix/Subject Detroit fame.
Spurred on by the development of increased exposure through radio he started honing his skills in music production and the ‘Alphaground’ website was born. This brought about more exposure for his music mission and by 2004 Tyler was performing on a number of key profile dance music stations in France and Holland. During 2006 he launched ‘Interstate 94’ show with Erell Ranson & Pedro Cali for Livesets.com, which was dedicated to the sound of Detroit. This was quickly followed by the aptly named ‘B-Side Show’ which showcased the darker, offbeat & industrial sounds. Currently the main man is managing different shows playing classics from way back, Detroit & Birmingham tunes on Livesets.com, Emergence FM (Limoges/France), and Techno.fm 
In 2006 Tyler’s finally realized the goal of having his debut vinyl release which was in collaboration with Bionic on French label ‘Audiocrash’. This was quickly followed by several upstanding digital releases. Over the years Tyler’s side to the music has become darker & more industrial, which in turn has led to the birth of his most acclaimed project: Black Smith Craft… With music released already on distinct labels from the scene and more on the way for labels including Grovsjopa’s mighty ‘Pohjola’, Leeds finest ‘Limetree’, UTCH rec. & Rednox’ superb free net-label ‘Ante-Rasa’…
Since 2008, Tyler has played across Europe alongside artists like Kr!z, the 65d mavericks, Bas Mooy, DJ Toki, DJ Boss, Bionic, Dimitri Pike, Arrestar, Sean Matters, Systemic, Victor Martinez…
More recently, he has created the groups http://soundcloud.com/groups/technotherapy and http://soundcloud.com/groups/old-school-techno-1 on Soundcloud to keep the real techno spirit alive and promote both established and up and coming techno artists from around the world.
