Hybral joins us for episode 37. The berlin based Dj and Producer has emerged as a true rising star throughout 2020/2021. 
Distorted kicks and grueling percussion and basslines are at the forefront of their sound.

Following up from a recent show on 'HOR' as well as a mix for 'The Brvtalist' podcast, the founder of the subverted podcast series comes at us with an hour of cold hearted industrial and EBM.

Blasted and cutting sounds immersed in dark ambiances characterize the mixes of Hålbå, embodiments of his vision focused on society's decay and its consequent uncertain future.
Chaos, despair, and distress are some of the feelings that the artist tries to convey on his Podcasts, a result of depth research of unconventional audio material with a huge impact for the listener.

V/A: Bats In Pool (Vol. I, Vinyl)

Plaster and Rivet join forces to offer the first track of Uncanny Valleys (Vol.III)

“Uncanny Valleys” compilation series is related to the theory introduced by japanese robotitian Mori Masahiro back in 1970, referring to the paradoxical perception of the existing similarities between robots and human beings.

This third opus focuses on Modern sonics, through a variety of genres and interpretations of these aesthetics. While the volume opens with a aerial and breaked track, it unfolds with ritual and 'techno' blending, before stepping into deconstructed territories with heavy vocal and digital manipulations. Finally, the final contributions open up sharply designed sounds and noisy atmospheres, which maintain the link within the compilation series.

Taking a look at music that is influenced by a genre - Industrial-, created in the times where the concept of Uncanny Valleys was created, helps us to grasp the links between the theory and art, both inspired by the development of technologies and its influences on both personal and societal aspects.

N.I.M PODCAST :: EP.73 [Dim Light]

Premiere: Patch Records presenta a sus primeros artistas varios, en cinta y digitalmente. Con sus nueve pistas, este VA está explorando una combinación generalizada de estilos techno, industrial y de ruido.

El lado A se abre con una atmósfera de suspenso y emoción, combinada con vibraciones increíblemente oscuras,
que es seguido por el techno de mascaras y la evolución hacia un final de ruido aún más brutal, arítmico y áspero.

En contraste, el lado B está cargado de sintetizadores martilleantes, duros como el acero, percusiones que golpean y almohadillas morphing sombrías,
manteniendo algo del estilo bastante lúgubre y casi religioso.

Premiere: Patch Records presents their first Various Artists, on tape and digitally. With its nine tracks, this VA is exploring a pervasive combination of techno, industrial and noise styles.

Side A opens with a suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere, paired with stunningly dark vibes,
which is followed by facesmashing techno and evolving towards an even more brutal, arythmical and harsh noise end.

Contrasting, side B is loaded with hammering synths, hard as steel hitting percussions and gloomy morphing pads,
whilst keeping some of the rather dismal and almost religious flair.

Exome - Fractured System [Patch Records]

Artist: Nekyia & FossaDelRumore
Title: Transient Sense (Grebenstein Remix)
Album: Facing The Absurd
Label: @voidanceberlin
Release date: May 31th, 2021
Format: Vinyl + Digital
Buy link: https://nekyiafossadelrumore.bandcamp.com/album/facing-the-absurd

With this extreme sound statement titled ‘Facing The Absurd’, Nekyia and Fossa Del Rumore aimed to express a common point of view on what we all call reality, probably a standpoint shaped by their life in the magnificent yet creatively arid city of Firenze, while experimenting with sound as they have always been doing during their long-lived collaboration. Let’s face the irrationality of things, the lack of meaning of an alienating life, the limits of human condition; and let’s embrace this condition with a new inner quiet, shifting the focus on the beauty around and within us, with perception as a source of inspiration and personal improvement. The chase of a chimerical meaning keeps still making perfectly sense for us as transient individuals. ‘Facing The Absurd’ is a dark collection of absurdist theories written through the meeting of modular noise, post-industrial and bass music-infused techno explorations, with a multi-tempo improvisational approach and subtle tributes to extreme music scenes.

Mycelium Syntax

Dark Symphony is a dark yet elegantly unfolding cinematic composition that thrives on tension and emotional depth. Its sound design feels made for motion picture: slow-building dynamics, gradually layering textures, and subtle dramatic crescendos draw the listener into a vivid world of imagery.

The track evokes powerful visual emotions — it could easily underscore a post-apocalyptic landscape, a tragic hero’s journey, or a deep inner transformation. The mix provides a wide spatial dimension, allowing each element to breathe while maintaining a cohesive dramatic flow.

The composition reflects professional cinematic sensibility — reminiscent of Hans Zimmer or Jóhann Jóhannsson — yet with a distinctly modern, personal touch. Dark Symphony stands out as an atmospheric score that balances beauty and darkness in perfect harmony.
