Phase Fatale - Burning The Rural District (2022)

burning the rural district overcomes 8 tracks of heavy rhythmics, cold sequences and blue flame atmospheres related to experiencing a closed society.

this energy is tied and twisted through a widescreen vision manifested in stressful breaks/dnb cut ups, and the maddening dysmorphia of bent sequences and signature fuzzy bass guitar harkening back to nyc post-punk roots.

recorded over many years entirely in tbilisi, ‘burning the rural district’ is influenced by the emerging super strong techno scene thriving in georgia, despite that there is a lingering homophobia outside of the vast club culture.

this is a snapshot putting a different window on that time of displacement, newness and ultimately creation.

lived vicariously and personally, in the aftermath of physical street violence among ex-soviet state impromptu warehouses, to the sudden suicide of an acquaintance, in the shadow of the orthodox church, an unlikely but singular uplifting freedom emerged from this very closure.
