Parisian artist La Mverte (@la-mverte) inaugurates his new label Les Enfers with an EP of typically leftfield electro and new beat fusions. His three originals come with big remixes from Javi Redondo and Anatolian Weapons (@anatolianweapons).

La Mverte aka Alexander Berly has carved out a unique sonic niche since 2014. He attended the RBMA in Tokyo, has released on labels like Her Majesty's Ship, and explores everything from Italo to New Wave, industrial to dark disco, krautrock to synth-heavy acid. His singular sounds have taken him to gigs at the world's best clubs and festivals and now, after a reflective time during the pandemic, he is back with a new label.

Excellent EP opener 'Nigredo' features Jean-Christophe Couderc from Vox Low providing sleazy vocals. It suggests a love of Detroit electro but reimagined through La Mverte's influences and machines, with angular drums and prickly synths lighting up the dance floor. With 'Albedo,' La Mverte offers an intense synth-wave sound with dark and ghoulish vocals, raw drums and stark hits that demand you jerk your body. The final original 'Rubedo' nods to Belgium's New Beat movement. It has physical drums, soot-black synth work and edgy late-night energy that will blow minds in any warehouse space.
First remixer Javi Redondo is a regular on the Correspondant and Dischi Autunno labels. He offers a club-focused and motorik re-reading of 'Nigredo' designed to make you sweat. Greek EBM, rock and electronic fusionist Aggelos Baltas aka Anatolian Weapons also offers a brilliant version of 'Albedo.' It is tinged with slowed-down trance of the sort that Vladimir Ivkovic might drop in the dead of night at Salon des Amateurs.

With Alchemy Calls, La Mverte continues to push himself and his sounds forwards into fresh new territory.

PREMIERE: Sons Of Traders - Anybody (Feral Colony)

Tomorrow, on what marks Kyiv producer Poly Chain's birthday, she's releasing her second charity project on fellow Ukrainian artist Lostlojic's Mystictrax imprint.

The pair have linked up again for Poly Chain's Fairy Disco mini album, a digital release and limited physical USB chain, which features six electro-inspired tracks composed over the last two years backed by two remixes from Kharkiv-based DJ Sacred and Frankfurt's finest Luz1e.

Speaking about the release, Poly Chain (real name Sasha Zakrevska) said: "the release date is my 29th bday and my wish is very simple yet quite complicated, as well as contained tunes themselves: keep supporting Ukraine, it's your every days shield."

All money raised from the album sales will be donated to 'Повернись Живим/Come Back Alive' foundation - the first charity organisation in the Ukraine who've received a license to purchase and import military and dual purpose goods.

Timothy J. Fairplay presents ‘Dungeon Module Volume One’ an eight track compilation of tracks made by occasional visitors, Alias’s, pseudonyms, mystery producers, assumed names and alter egos who make music in Timothy’s Dungeon Module studio. Some of these tracks have appeared in Timothy’s dj sets and radio shows over the last year. 
Theres Timothy himself with ‘88 Manchester swimming pool party jam ‘Soap’. ‘Brain Wave’ by Humberside synth pop/new wave outsider Roland Telescopes. The robotic electro of ‘Northeast Sector’ by Zentraedi and closing side one with some deepspacetechno is MR. R.I.N.G. with ‘Mick’s Broadcast’ - taking its cue from a cut from the Running Man Soundtrack with a similar name.  Side B begins with Main Street Mining and the flanger heavy jackbeat of ‘Main Street’, then we have the long over due return of Antoine Rouge with the stomping euro dance of ‘Street Sucker’. Berlin school from Longo with its disco beat and monotone ‘Dancing Boys’ refrain. Finally the raw electro of Effectron ll ‘One More Day’ made with just an 808 and a Transcendent 2000. 
Available on limited Cassette and digital Download.

Turbulent

Premiere: Poly Chain – Turbulent

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Poly Chain. "Afterhouse In SchneidersLaden" comes off the new v/a from Berlin's TYME collective. TYME is a newly found label that provides a space for emerging artists from Ukraine and the world to release music that transcends boundaries. For its debut release 'On the Silver Shore' , TYME invited 28 artists from different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. Their creations span across the wide spectrum of electronic music, ranging from experimental and ambient to hypnotic and groovy techno. Notable contributors include iconic artists such as Schacke, Shackleton, Cressida, Nastya Vogan, Pavel Milyakov and Yan Cook. 

Today we premiere this one from Poly Chain. The artist had this to say about the track: "During the last two years I started to produce slow and tender music again and I am happy it found its place and purpose with TYME and its fundraiser. Finally my experimental side and technical production one started to crystallize in the form I would love to build as an artist."

On The Silver Shore is out March 1st. Support the release at: https://tyme-berlin.bandcamp.com/album/on-the-silver-shore

After ‘De Wandeling’ release from xceptor in September 2024, Rotterdam-based imprint Feed The Void return with a seven-track remix compilation – courtesy of UK-born producer Birds...Our pick from this release is Poly Chain's rendition of ‘Home’ that emerges as a mesmerizing workout through space-delayed, yet haunting atmospherics driven by pulsating techno kick drums and gritty acid basslines. Accompanied by infectious, simmering whistles, Zakrevska crafts a warehouse-ready concoction, steeped in a cybernetic cauldron and ignited in the eternal bonfire of the underworld.
