New Brvtalism No. 102 - group A

Release date 4th December 2017

Order:  http://mannequinrecords.bigcartel.com/product/mnq-117-group-a-group-a-12

Berlin based Japanese industrial synth duo group A make their debut on Mannequin Records with a killer 3-tracks self titled EP.  

Tommi Tokyo (synth, drum machine, vocals) and Sayaka Botanic (violin, tapes and sampler) released 2 studio albums and 1 live album in Tokyo, before to move in Berlin in 2016. With their mixture of dark minimal synth, avant-noise, striking visuals and performance art, the duo still carries on the very breath of early industrial pioneers such as Throbbing Gristle, Die Form, Klinik, Cabaret Voltaire.

The EP was recorded in Tommi's bedroom and later mixed together with Mannequin Records head Alessandro Adriani in his own studio in Berlin. The first two tracks of the EP, 'T.O.P.' and 'Ketabali' represents the duo personal reaction against the current economy, an up yours to capitalism, news and politics, all permeated by industrial rhytmic-noises and words with no meaning.
The B2 'Alibi' instead  was inspired by an autobiography of Hi-Red Centre(Japanese avant-grade art group in the 60-70's) written by one of the members, Genpei Akasegawa. Tommi found the word "Alibi"  in the book and she just started singing about the group. As she never wrote lyrics for that,  during their live performances they are always improvised, so changing and mutating every time.

Mixed by Alessandro Adriani and group A, Berlin 2017.
Mastered by Rude66, Amsterdam 2017.

Limited edition of 350 copies.
Special edition of 110 copies available on transparent vinyl with an extra insert.

Japanese industrial-experimental-synth outfit composed by Tommi Tokyo (synths, drum machines, vocals) and Sayaka Botanic (violin, sampler, tapes). They create a unique mixture of dark minimal synth and avant-noise with striking visuals and stage performances.

This mini album was written and recorded through the winter of 2017 and 2018 based on the recordings of some improvisation sessions at home band's studio since they moved to Berlin in early 2016. The main inspiration was focused on the ongoing threads from the collapsed ecological system and the injustices of Mother nature and animals. “Circulation" was intended to capture their daily concerns and draw the destructive human behaviour through their sounds. The tension and the whole vibe is very different compared to previous works. These songs are purely made for home listening.

“Circulation” was originally released in mid 2018 on a very short run by Kashual Plastik and sold out after just a few weeks. This new edition includes, besides all original tracks, an unpublished piece entitled “Deform” and a breathtaking remix prepared by the NYC based musician Hiro Kone.

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Charly Schaller. Born in Munich Germany, Schaller discovered her passion for techno during her gap year when she was first exposed to it as a raver in Berlin’s Techno clubs. After moving to England to study at the University of Cambridge, she developed her penchant for diverse sub-genres of techno music after being exposed to an ambit of musical cultures in the UK. 

Upon finishing her studies in Philosophy, Charly relocated to Berlin and began Djing in various clubs and venues across Berlin and Germany, including: About Blank, Grießmühle, and Arena Club.

Since her debut, Charly’s DJ repertoire has embraced an eclectic musical collection that allows the audience to explore a truly personalised sensorial experience. Boasting a passion for tracks with vocals, as well as Rave, percussion heavy bangers, and dramatic synth lines, Charly merges divergent musical styles in her DJ sets as a unique signature; one that inspires the audience to be fully immersed in the euphoric experience that only music can inspire. 

Charly is currently a promoter and resident at Edge Detection (at PAL/About Blank) and Strictly Forbidden (at Maze). More recently she has been picked up by Alan Fitzpatricks “We Are The Brave” label and will be releasing on their “Electric Soul” compilation in June, alongside playing various shows for the brand. We are thrilled to have her contribute to our series with this explosive mix of techno, acid, rave and more, showcasing her diverse sound.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Fabrizio Rat. The classically trained pianist and techno producer has existed in both the classical and electronic worlds since his teenage years. The result has been a unique evolution of the two sounds and an amalgamation into something fresh and groundbreaking. “Juno” comes off the new EP, Hera, out soon on Milan’s 24H imprint. The release finds 6 tracks of razor sharp techno with a romantic current and underlying mania. “Juno” perfectly captures the essence of the artist’s productions and the EP is an incredibly journey through genres, moods and ideas. 

Out April 25th on vinyl and digital. More at: www.thebrvtalist.com/fabrizioratjuno/

The past couple years have seen the steady emergence of Italian producer Maenad Veyl. From his early output on Death & Leisure to last years Body County LP on his namesake label, he has maintained a quiet yet powerful presence which is not confined to any genre or sound. The artist now returns to Veyl with an all new album, Reassessment. Building off his previous work, Reassessment is a monumental work of 13 tracks that traverses everything from wave, body, noise, techno and more and further sharpens the producer’s output. This a deeply personal work that is loaded with meaning and reframes how we perceive our surroundings. Today we are proud to present the track “Hardened Arteries” (one of our favorites from the album) and we also bring you a great interview with the artist talking about the album, quarantine and more.

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Marina Aleksandra. “Animal Industrial Complex" (Radolph & Mortimer Remix) is a work of pure fire which came to fruition in September 2019 when Marina contributed a slamming techno remix to R&M’s Exclude/Divide single, a massive remix that was featured in DJ sets around the globe and helped propel the single to the top of the  genre best sellers charts on Bandcamp.  Now the favor has been returned. R&M have taken Marina’s epic Techno original and re-worked it into a high energy EBM/Electro thrasher - taking Marina’s provocative vocal and looping it over raw synths and huge kicks and snares. This is peak time business for all the shutdown dance floors in the pandemic age. For the past couple years Aleksandra has been destroying clubs across Europe with her brvtalizing sound and high intensity DJ sets. This track proves once again why she has become one of our favorite artists to watch and you will definitely be hearing more from her soon on The Brvtalist.

The Brvtalist is proud to present a new mix from Diamondstein as Pure Violence. Diamondstein is an LA-based producer and performer primarily known for his monthly NTS show Night Shift, as well as his cinematic and melancholic releases through labels Dream Catalogue, Doom Trip, and others. His often eerie and experimental show Night Shift has been a mainstay on NTS since the first days of the station's Los Angeles presence and has featured guests ranging from Drew McDowall and Headless Horseman to Marie Davidson, Deafheaven, and Sacred Bones label head Caleb Braaten. 

Unlike Diamondstein's traditionally pensive and atmospheric productions and mixes, his alias Pure Violence focusses on more brash, intense, industrial techno. His February Pure Violence mix for NTS was a Resident Advisor Mix of the Day. Titled The Pent-Up Energy Mix, we are thrilled to host this installment of sheer brvtality that builds tension from the start and quickly unleashes devastation. www.thebrvtalist.com/newbrvtalism229pureviolence/
