about

personalbrand - How To Respond To Turmoil EP [OMB001]

experimental and apocalyptic club DJ and producer Personalbrand. Currently based in London after 3 years in the Taiwan scene, his productions mix up grime, garage and hardcore sounds into twisted new forms, exuding feelings of anthropocenal anxiety and post-future optimism.

How To Respond To Turmoil is personalbrand's attempt to use hard dance as a framework to deal with individual and global turbulence. It was created during a time of deteriorating mental health and following a scattershot binge of app-based ancient wisdom, Youtube motivational speakers, contradictory Quora advice, and self-care blogs. Over two tracks, personalbrand contemplates whether hard times require hard music. Can accelerated tempos and relentless drums sooth a sense of disorder, or just add to it?

On EMBRACE CHAOS, hints of optimism creep out of anarchic competing melodies, frantic snares, and polyrhythmic percussion elements.

PURSUE PAIN delves further into the idea of accepting life's difficulties. A disembodied digitised voice repeats a mantra-like phrase about internalised pain over pounding kicks and a hypnotic morphing synth.
