Belgian project Selm will release on 20 June via Aesthetical a new album entitled dehNUNG. Selm is the uncompromising project by Belgian brothers Thomas and Nicolas Giets, known previously for their work as Egotopia and Rony & Suzy. With Selm, the duo opened a visceral new chapter in their artistic evolution, diving deep into a world where industrial rigour meets introspective minimalism, where rhythm is both weapon and meditation.
Selm is not a project looking for comfort. Their new album eschews polish in favour of intuition. Born from minimal means and deliberate constraint, the music is steeped in contradiction: industrial and tribal, harsh and hypnotic, melodically restrained yet emotionally expansive. The record surges with rhythmic insistence, grounded in the raw, thumping DNA of 90s techno but bent through a fractured, noisier lens.
Cavernous textures trade places with stark, dry surfaces. Flickers of melody emerge from repetition, only to recede into the percussive shadows. At every turn, Selm plays with perception, refusing to choose between club energy and inner exploration. Their music occupies the grey zone where a distorted beat becomes a pulse of thought, and where sonic abrasiveness transforms into aesthetic clarity.
This album is a sketch turned statement, a reflection on how sound, even in its most unruly forms, can carry precision, depth, and beauty. Selm invites listeners to experience noise as catharsis, distortion as design, and rhythm as ritual.
