Basic Instinct - Vertere x Ombra INTL 'Rave Tool' [Mastered At The Wall]

31.12

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Silver Tears, the new duo composed by Curses and Skelesys. They surf through the dark waves with their new track “Always Shine (Wait For The Rain)”, splashing echoes of early Sisters Of Mercy and hints of The Cure's 'Faith' guitars injected with ethereal melancholic vocals in a haunting search for love. 

The track comes off "Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX", the second compilation meticulously curated by the Berlin-based musician and DJ Luca Venezia, known as Curses, in collaboration with legendary Eskimo Recordings. This sonic adventure hovers into the edgier realms of club music, unearthing its darker facets. Spanning across three CDs and three 2LPs, "Next Wave Acid Punx DEUX" boasts an impressive collection of 49 tracks, connecting the pioneering industrial sounds of Throbbing Gristle, EBM legends like Nitzer Ebb and the post-punk experiments of people like Malcolm McLaren and Big Audio Dynamite with some of the most exciting artists around today, such as Boy Harsher, Nuovo Testamento and Years of Denial.

PREMIERE: Silver Tears - Always Shine (Wait For The Rain) [Eskimo Recordings]

art:cast °184 | Baldov

Some artists make noise. Others listen first - then carve out their own frequency in the quiet spaces between a kick drum and a sunrise. Baldov, real name Théo Bertat, has spent the last decade threading himself through the undercurrents of Europe’s vinyl culture. As a co-founder of Undergroove Records, half of the duo Wave Catchers, and a familiar presence behind the booth and in the bins, the Paris-based DJ and producer carries an energy that’s patient but insistent — always pushing for connection over spectacle.

Whether he’s shaping warm minimal grooves for labels like LEGRAM VG & Rubber Ducky or sketching new sound maps alongside Heimyl the Lazer Man, Baldov’s mission is clear: keep it intimate, keep it human, and above all, keep it honest. He’s the kind of selector who still believes a DJ is there to serve the moment, not steal it - a mindset that naturally flows into his new partnership with Headliner, where design, sound and respect for the craft matter as much as the party itself.

In this conversation, he opens up about the story behind the Baldov name, how a broken arm and a bike crash gave birth to new music, why the art of the long set is sacred, what his dream DJ mixer might look like, and what a perfect night could be when you strip it all back to what really counts: records, connection, and the magic that happens when the needle drops - and nobody wants to leave.

Strictly Human Pseudo Stories

Upside Down

WEMOTO RADIO - 034 - MARC BRAUNER

If there’s one record you’ll want to have this summer, it’s Ossie’s ‘That’s a vibe’ EP. The London producer makes his debut on Heist with an irresistible dance record loaded with high-energy UK grooves and a fair nod to classic US house music.  

DJ/producer Ossie Aneke a.k.a OSSIE has been releasing music for over a decade, releasing forward-thinking electronic productions on crucial imprints such as Hyperdub, Skepta’s Mas Tiempo, Brownswood and his own Supercali music. His Heist release features 4 tracks that are rich in sound, sampling and vocals and are all filled to the brim with personality. 

The EP kicks off with ‘That’s a vibe’; a shuffling and breezy affair with a quirky, high-pitched vocal and lovely chord chops that all fit together perfectly. The production is immaculate and you can hear Ossie feeling totally comfortable in his sonic space, where he takes the best parts of London and Chicago and blends it into something totally unique. With that catchy melody and vocal, this one is quite earworm. We've been playing this one out a lot, and the reaction from the crowd (and track id requests) are great (as seen in our recent raw cuts set in New York) 

“Are you still smiling” ups the tempo and takes us deeper into the London sound, with a riff of pulsating strings, garage drums and a nasty bassline. This track, (which could have easily been on Daphni’s latest album) has everything we like about contemporary electronic music. It’s full of feelgood elements, quirky samples and a groove that will get the even the stiffest hips shaking.  

Ossie is not one to go for the same trick twice, and he’s very well capable of going deep as we can hear on ‘Clay clay’. On this track, we see Ossie pay homage to classic US house music, with minor chords looping over a crunchy diva vocal and a solid house groove. The EP finishes off on a high note with ‘True freedom’: a track full of energy with sampled chords and lots of vocal elements working together to great effect. The percussion programming is clever and full of forward momentum and the bass is so fat it probably won’t fit through club door.  


Ossie delivers an EP that’s unique, catchy and produced with such confidence, that these tracks have already become a staple in our sets. 

Get ready to dive into the sound of Ossie and as always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

Kha0s - ACIDITY (Free DL)

The door of the house was ajar, lock broken and glass smashed into tiny pieces. Every inch of the interior had been defaced, damaged and neglected. Nothing seemed salvageable. She took a deep breath, this was her responsibility, she was in charge of taking care of this space and she'd failed completely. What could she do or say to rectify this? There was nothing that could save her if she told the truth. Everybody would ostracise her, cast her off. Her reputation would be in tatters. She only had one option... To lie through her teeth. It felt like eating knives...

Lithuanian artist Jaroška's music blends influences like post-punk, rave, EBM and electro. His latest record gets the rework treatment from Berlin duo Local Suicide and Argentinian producer Skelesys who, between them, have landed on Ombra International, Multi Culti, Bordello A Parigi and Rotten City Trax.

PREMIERE: Jaroška - Eating Knives (Local Suicide & Skelesys Remix) [PPP]

Direct from the Hague (via Vilnius, Lithuania) comes your new favorite darkwave artist - Caline With C. This alias was created for the reason of experimentation, as a free space for exploration of the unknown, both in the outside world and within. Emotional experience (which often works as a strong drive and motivation to the artist) and soundwave are the main focuses for Caline with C (aka Kamile), now studying Sonology in a master program.
In her own words: “I am a DJ, composer, performer, researcher and basically open to any kind of mentally, emotionally and acoustically stimulating activities. All my world turns around sound. I believe that “in the beginning, there was sound…”, therefore learning to talk and understand the language of sound has been a true delight.” This ethos comes across in the clear experimental versus intuitive approach at play on “Once in a Blue Moon”, with tracks that were recorded approximately over a period of one year. Her influences vary widely from musique concrète, industrial, bass, hip hop to dub, breakbeat, house, techno. The resultant 5 pieces move from ambient through darkwave, footwerk and bass with motifs of funky percussive house scattered throughout (courtesy of Kamile’s beloved Quasimidi Rave-o-lution 309), and is a pleasure for lovers of sonic experimentation.
