Méchant EP by Bad Brahmin

Arkham Audio launches dark techno sublabel Arkham xxx with a gritty EP from Bad Brahmin named Méchant EP.

Méchant EP by Bad Brahmin Art by Arkham Audio

The hammering hardcore techno drums and hypnotic sequences of "Méchant" set the tone for Bad Brahmin's debut release on Arkham Audio's new sister-label Arkham xxx. The focus of the new division is a darker, harder, and stronger sound, readily apparent in "Taboo" where rattling drums and mechanical stabs drive the track, distorted clamor and muffled screams echoing throughout its halls.

Next up, "Nettoyage" is a techno weapon complete with the crushing reverb of repeating bells before ‘Hammahalle Secrets' ties the release together with heavily distorted rhythms and mysterious swelling synths.

Bad Brahmin's "Méchant EP" is a quality statement of intent for the new Belgian label, hosting four reinterpretations from respected artists in the harder techno realms - including a remix from E-missions veteran Tred, techno powerhouse Patrick DSP, Moments in Time & Soma artist Rudosa as well as Erratum & Arkham label head Cri Du Coeur.
