The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Pierce With Arrow. The collaborative project of minimal techno pioneer Troy Pierce and Colombian audiovisual artist Natalia Escobar aka Poison Arrow, recently released their collaborative debut, Shatter (DAIS), which is a powerful work of sound and visual art. Veering from the producers’ well known dance floor oriented sound, Shatter is a cinematic record which masterfully weaves through different emotions and atmospheres. Their mix for us takes their sound and constructs a mind bending journey. 

To mark the mix and release, we also present a great Q&A with duo which you can read at: www.thebrvtalist.com/piercewitharrow/

Subosc Podcast 015 - TIN MAN & Foreign Material

Typically known for their jacking acid and techno sets, his range beyond traditional dance music should never be underestimated. @mikeservito played a beautiful set of ambient, trip hop, and downtempo tracks.

DSSarkives:  is a section where we will be posting sessions from artists who have somehow influenced the vision of dance music for our residents, friends, and collaborators. We will also share some sessions that we believe have very unique, strange, and hard-to-find characteristics on the internet.

For this first edition, we have this set by Troy Pierce (a veteran of M_nus) in "afterhours" mode in Medellin, Colombia. It's not your typical "energetic" or full of "fluffy" after-hours tracks, as you might expect. Instead, it's a set with a rather slowed-down tempo, we're talking about a set between 115 - 118 bpm... that remains dark, relaxing, loopy, and slowly creates a mesmerizing atmosphere.

From the first day we heard this set, we were very impressed and considered it highly influential for us due to its attitude and direction. It's a set that, even after 15 years, still sounds very modern and fresh. We love dance music, and this is a clear example that you don't need a fast-paced session with many hits to make a select group of people dance at an after-hours event.

We apologize for the audio quality of the set, but it's the only version available on the internet. It's quite a rare set. Nevertheless, we love it and want to share it with everyone.

Enjoy it, and look forward to more DSSarkives.

Secret Thirteen mix 183(April. 2016) - an imaginary soundtrack for Stephen Dwoskin "BEHINDERT"

This mix was recorded live from Reaktor's Katharsis event in 2017.  For those that don't know, Katharsis happens once a year and is dedicated to the faster, harder and more industrial side of techno.  This was my entire 3 hour set from that night.

Over the last few years we have built a steady relationship doing events together and sharing our passion for this music.  We are teaming up once again for ADE 2018 and releasing this mix as a thank you to all our followers and supporters.

TROY PIERCE
‘Gone Astray EP’ 
M52 2x12” + CD EP

Troy Pierce continues his mission up river into the heart of darkness, with arguably his most accomplished collection of tracks to date. Made up of music composed almost exclusively on the road, the ‘Gone Astray EP’ is driven by choices and ideas that would not normally have surfaced in a typical studio environment. It’s an innovative, ambitious project, not least because it tackles so many abstract themes in one sitting, often taking more than one mix to fully explore the hidden pathways that disappear off into this dense catacomb of sound. 

‘Even If It’s Alone (Black Acid)’ is a good case in point. The original version is abstract, freeform techno full of disorientating bleeps, metallic snare rolls and messed up vocal overdubs that offer the listener little in the way of a safety net. The Louderbach remix however is an altogether differ ent trip. Sparser and pinned down by a mechanical hihat/snare pattern, it utilizes spaced out delays and reverbs to create an equally intense atmosphere. Further highlights include the classic arpeggiated hookline at the heart of ‘Lost On The Way To DC10’ (prepared moments before a gig at the self same club) and the urgent tribal stomps of ‘Klitkut’ - another track with Ibiza after hour origins. 

Dramatic changes of pressure abound throughout the whole project, with Pierce making full use of the audio spectrum as he painstakingly deconstructs and reconstructs frequencies. Each sound is teased and twisted in all manner of directions, (check out the morphing acid line on ‘Golden’) with particular attention paid to the drum machine patterns that are refreshingly free from the linear constraints of standard techno. As a result the sound seems to move forward like a wall, constantly changing room size and shape, which is why you&rs quo;ll be forgiven for sometimes finding a door where the window should be.
Going astray can be a good thing, especially when you end up finding a better way.

‘Gone Astray EP’ is available on double vinyl, with the CD and digital download releases including two additional tracks ‘Word’ and ‘Go Without Me (Stay Away)’.
