VOLRUPTUS
Few months ago, during collecting information about Nina Kraviz we found out a bunch of artists promoted via her label. One of the personas from that group was a mysterious Volruptus. From the official statement we know that it is The Alien Boogie Commander from the 5th dimension currently occupying Berlin, Germany, but watchful foxes will always track every scam for you, dear Steemians ! As our highly advanced AI systems proved, that behind Volruptus we can find a Bjargmundur Ingi, a Berlin-based acid electro/techno producer from the cold and distant Reykjavík, Iceland. Since the youngest years, this lovely Alien fellow has been playing around with music. You can read his childhood memories about the experiments with archaic samples and voice modulators in the rare interview here. Innocent years has had to pass away, and the true revolution was rising on the horizon..
Volruptus - SÚRMATUR [bbb011]
One day I saw this documentary called Scratch. I wanted to be a DMC world champion at scratching. I had already been scratching a bit at my friends place but then I got my own turntables (...) As I got into more genres and mostly electronic ones I would drift away from hip hop into more experimental mixtures of electro, hardcore/jungle, dubstep, Miami bass and such. Then I lost my computer and my backup. In drunken carelessness I lost it and it got stolen of course. So the first 6 years of my work were gone. At that point I had quite recently gotten my modular, But forgetting my old tunes made my new ones more different and better actually. I had to make a fresh start.

Volruptus - Misanthropy (Dark Stöff) V1 M1 [bbb011]
Probably a lot of people would give up at this point but Volruptus took it as a good sight for a new beginning and actually since his debut on Icelandic label Sweaty Records in 2016, his musical carrier accelerated with the speed of his own sounds. It shouldn't be a problem to imagine that in the small and closed community, the underground network of artists is working even tighter. Everybody known everyone and everyone knows everybody so the feedback works in the both directions. Thanks to this mutual support, a lot of rare stuff from the closest circle of Volruptus' friends can be broad to the wider audience through the twisted, crazy, bassy mixes online, small clubs, the biggest venues or caves, wherever we can spot The Alien Boogie Commander. Exactly during the Icelandic Cave Rave, Volruptus' sounds were introduced to Nina Kraviz & Bjarki which soon developed into close cooperation, like labels showcase nights around the world (including Sónar) or two EP's released on bbbbbb and one EP on трип. Please enjoy this specially recorded for XLR8R brand new mix including a lot of unknown material which Bjargmundur Ingi considers as a "really fucking good!"
If you are looking forward to have a rare opportunity to see this alien live, please follow RAVING FOXES' footsteps. 1.12.2018 we are heading to the WORM Rotterdam for the cosmic party with Volruptus, Animistic Beliefs, cosmox & Van Anh. Tickets are also literally out of space - 10e for this kind of gig is almost nothing comparing it with the prices of the other gigs with his attend, such as upcoming Blizzard People at Griessmuehle or past Sónar, Tresor Nights. Enjoy your weekend with the outstanding twisted acid electro and neak-breaking techno sounds from the 5th dimmension.
