The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new music video from Kontravoid. Renowned for his decade-long exploration of dark pop intricacies, the enigmatic Canadian-born, LA-based artist delivers yet another remarkable full-length album, following the success of his previous works such as Too Deep (2019) and Faceless (2021). In his new album Detachment, he presents a unique blend of infectious body music, electro, freestyle and gothic nuances.

Today, we unveil "Losing Game," a track featuring Chelsey Crowley from synth-pop sensation Nuovo Testamento. It serves as a natural evolution of Kontravoid's distinctive sound, with his signature pulsating rhythmic bass lines and Crowley's vocals in an ethereal floating feather, shining through Madonna-esque overtones mixed with the hi-pitched allure of Clare Grogan from Altered Images. "Losing Game" feels like stumbling upon a hidden gem from 1984, yet it's a creation firmly rooted in the present. 

Out March 1st on Artoffact Records. Available on digital, CD and vinyl formats. Pre-order your copy now: https://kontravoid.bandcamp.com/album/detachment

Detachment

PREMIERE: Kontravoid - Losing Game feat. Chelsey Crowley [Artoffact Records]

030/313 – Berlin/Detroit, the fundamental techno union. Now Carhartt WIP, whose roots can be traced to Detroit, Michigan, join forces with Tresor for a collaboration that celebrates the enduring spirit of two music metropolises. Referencing the early 90s compilations like "Tresor II – A Techno Alliance", they present a 12" mini compilation with exclusive material from both cities.  

The compilation opens with "I.D.L.E.", a lost Model 500 track, of essential funk that touches the techno soul of The Motorcity, with trippy melodies and cosmic drilling traversing electrified Mojo freeways. It's followed by another true Detroiter: Ectomorph's "Searching (Live At Globus)", a first extract from their live set at Globus in 2021, which BMG and Erika played on borrowed equipment after Erika's case was lost on a flight. The A-Side stays in Detroit and finishes with "Your Body", an exclusive track by AMX, also known as The AM, one of Detroit's freshest funk techno sensations. She carries on the mentorship mindset by having learned from two of the greatest: D.I.E. and Scan 7. "Your Body" is a classic techno feel swinger, where subtle chords meet drum machine funk in the spirit of early Detroit techno.

DJ Stingray 313 opens the B-Side with a bang. Precisely hacked techno, full of dark funk and that special industrial jack, that the man in the mask has made his own. A total "Dynamic Instability". Magic & furious. The thrill continues with "Metal Goat", by JakoJako, one of Berlin's brightest synth sensations. She provides an introspective grower that slowly evolves into a fast-paced techno grinder, laden with micro shifts and magic twists. The final tune comes from Erik Jabari, a newcomer from the 030 zone, emerging from the Hard Wax peers with haunting modular synth techno – a feverish minimalistic trip of motorized kicks. DJ Pete performed as spiritual guidance on this one. It's floor proven. An overall cachet of "030313" - the small compilation with a huge techno heart.

Embark on a sonic odyssey as Iptamenos Discos presents a thrilling fusion of sound by label heads Local Suicide and Velax. Their EP casts a shadowy, atmospheric spell, blending industrial, electro, dark disco, and techno elements into a mesmerizing tapestry of sound.

The collaboration blossomed when the Berlin based Greco-German DJ duo, Local Suicide, crossed paths with Velax during his sojourn in Mexico City. Hailing from the frigid city of Surgut in Russia, Velax brings a narrative from the existential realm, having crafted music under various aliases for nearly a decade. Fatigued by the dichotomy of truth and falsehood, good and evil, Velax transcended to a metaphysical plane to weave his tales. Meanwhile, Local Suicide's distinctive blend of dark disco, new wave, EBM, and techno serves as the perfect complement to Velax's vision. This EP also boasts high class remixes from the esteemed French icon, Arnaud Rebotini, and the visionary Mexican artist, Andre VII.

The journey commences with "Keep Driving”, a hypnotic track charged with tension and dark undertones. It engulfs you in a dystopian cityscape, cloaked in fog, with imposing metallic structures looming overhead.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Comfort Cure. Detroit's dancefloor demolitionist is back with a brand new single and cassette release, "I'm the Drug", which comes on cassette format and also contains the new song "Lows" and a new version of "Hands of Stone" along with three remixes of "I'm the Drug" on the b-side. Compared to previous Comfort Cure releases, these new tracks focus on a more synth-pop and dance floor oriented sound. The three remixes on the B-side consist of a relentless EBM remix by NYC's Nuxx Vomica, a hard hitting club remix from Kansas City's Moon 17, and a skeletal minimal synth rework by Atlanta's Anticipation.

Zee Mon - Kisses In The Dark (Mufti Remix) [CRAVE009 | Premiere]

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Kris Baha. "Idorus Grid" comes off the new EP, Cyber Body Music Vol. 1" forthcoming on Kindcrime Recordings. With each track, Kris weaves a collection of sounds that echo with the whispers of a dystopian future, drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of cyberpunk lore, infusing his music with a sense of gritty authenticity, while the pulsating rhythms and haunting melodies serve as a soundtrack to the chaos of a planet in flux.

The enigmatic force behind Ghosts In The Machine is a legendary figure in the EBM scene, known for seamlessly blending techno, electro, breaks, and industrial elements into a singular sonic experience.

"Cyber Body Music" is a testament to Baha's ability to evoke a sense of raw emotion within the cold, metallic embrace of the digital realm. And beneath it lies a deeper message—a reflection on the inherent duality of the human condition in an increasingly digital world, challenging us to confront our fears and embrace the limitless possibilities of its frontiers.
