The purpose of this V/A is to represent through the finest industrial techno artists, and thanks to them, showcase this sound in its purest and uncompromising forms, to remain connected to our black-hearted roots and disrupt the future with the demonstration that other ways of advancing are possible and must be embraced in the search for new ideas to further develop, not just the sound towards a shift, but the whole panorama of electronic music as a countercultural movement, in unity. Each track is a brick and places itself in the broad spectrum of contemporary dark and raw electronic music, there's no rest for the wicked.

s t e v a n - Mi Ire (SUBVERTED)

Eidetic imagery is the ability to remember an image in so much detail, clarity, and accuracy that it is as if the image is still being perceived. It is not perfect, as it is subject to distortions and additions, and vocalization interferes with the memory.

Scars consists of not only simple pain, but also the scenery and emotions that arise at that time within. 
And it disappears gradually while repeating cell division. 
However, it may be the real scars that is left behind with it. With that in mind, we face another day.

The unstable and distorted beauty that seems to break if touched is very ephemeral and very strong.

Trust True - Bastard (Cancel Remix) [Premiere | ASKRN15]

LA-based Techno label OMEN Recordings celebrates its 6 year anniversary with a very special edition of their RITUAL VA Series. Hand-picked by label boss, AXKAN, himself, "RITUALØ6" offers 6 incredible selections that represent the OMEN sonic aesthetic impeccably. 

Mastered by Artefacts Mastering, from Gio's gorgeous studio in Berlin, "RITUALØ6" manifests some of OMEN’s finest tracks selected over the past 3 years. The RITUAL series continues its six-tracker format with this unique anniversary release showcasing venerable artists from the various corners of the Techno world.

The compilation opens with mysterious producers I MURDERED conjuring up sinister sonics and eerie vocals in “Skin Jacket”. A beguiling flute bridges the track from a steady rhythmic pace into a frenzied, buzzing hive of industrial Techno.

Rising LA artist EAS offers his eclectic spin on dark Techno with “Walk the Earth.” A dynamic chugging bassline pummels through its entirety, intertwining with a dizzying, metallic aural to heat up any warehouse with its underlying EBM influence.

Italian legend AYARCANA left us his last produced track where he summons savage spirits with “Epitaphs” as ANSOME lends his belligerent broken beats and uncompromising dynamics to the resulting remix.

Explosive peak-time stamina runs wild in CRYSTAL GEOMETRY’s “Alborz Range.” The French producer deftly shows off an industrial-leaning modular style. Obliterating and futuristic, this track is guaranteed to rile up any dancefloor. 

Poland’s HATELOVE shows off his aggressive brand of Techno with “Riot” slinging twisted distortions and mesmerizing mania. Featuring German-based THE HORRORIST, this fervent track takes hellish soundscapes to new depths. Vocals used by kind permission of RIOT Records and Oliver Chesler.

Closing out the compilation, OMEN head honcho AXKAN unleashes seductively ominous themes across “Lacan’s Dream.” Nefarious, tribal-influenced percussion leads the listener through otherworldly realms for a monumental conclusion.

This EP will be available in USB-stick and digital formats everywhere. This latest "RITUALØ6" is a brutal masterpiece of a VA compilation and further cements the label’s position in the underground Industrial Techno scene—as if one needed any convincing.

All original tracks written and produced by the featured artists.

RITUALØ6

THE HORRORIST - RIOT (HATELOVE Remake)

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]

Swarm Intelligence - The Shattered Self

Swarm Intelligence - (SUB05)

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 ourselves? Who is our self?

Swarm Intelligence draws influences from black metal, industrial-tinged dub, and post-rock, splicing these with his distinctive take on techno to devastating effect. "Dejected," the inaugural track, unleashes grinding walls of feedback against a relentless broken beat, its foreboding atmosphere heightened by a menacing low growl of distorted bass that permeates the unease. It's a disquieting overture that sets the stage for the tumultuous journey ahead.

The second track, “Eros” envelops the listener in a visceral soundscape, where haunting atmospheres intertwine with grinding feedback and pounding percussion. Initially tense, the track evolves into an unexpected and almost euphoric climax, adding an unforeseen emotional depth to the sonic narrative. Yet, beneath the surface, an undercurrent of tension remains—an ever-present reminder of the fragility of our self.

On the flip side, "Inciter" channels inner fury through a guttural chant punctuating a Birmingham-styled broken beat, marching forth with unyielding force.

Finally, "Portal" offers a moment of quiet introspection, as haunting pads echo a mournful refrain while micro recordings of whirring machinery are assembled into the percussion section. It serves as a poignant curtain-closer.

Through "The Shattered Self," Swarm Intelligence challenges listeners to reconsider their perceptions of identity, consciousness, and agency in an age where the machine and the human converge. It's a haunting and profound journey—one that invites introspection and contemplation long after the final reverb tails fade into silence.

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.
