The stuff that I heard sounds like tape music producers doing industrial or noise.
There’s a lot of reverb for a style of music with a name like brut 
Just use a bitcrusher for changing sample rate of individual channels/parts. Good for making busy hi end elements stand out from each other imo.
the less bullshit you gotta do with converting and dragging shit around outside the daw the better
typically dismissive of you lol
brut is just a tongue in cheek name Ronzlo made up to unify a certain style of post-club/deconstructed club stuff that was blowing up a few years back i.e Wwwings, 111x, Rabit, Dedekind Cut etc

I dont think most of them use any hardware at all.
I’ve heard some very modular sounding stuff from FIS in terms of sound design
You should post up an example here of the sort of tune youre asking about

cba that would be too specific. harkat might be on the right track, maybe it’s just really bitcrushed normal samples that are chopped in percussive patterns. but ambient elements are also very common and that’s difficult for me to figure out, like how do you make ambient with a grid and point and click.
ya defo, all sorts of distortion effects and mid/side techniques as well
and always gotta remember, since the genre is typically super sample heavy, they might be using samples from hardware or hardware signal chains
the ambient stuff should probably be played out on some keys or programmed generatively

Need to get more Howl sets up so people can drink in the glory of de Brut.

Dude! That makes me so sad. We might have to just start ripping the streams.
It’s a strange (sub?) genre. It’s seems like it doesn’t matter what parent-genre your track aligns with, if it’s lo-fi & industrial/noise influenced, then it becomes Brut/Madshit/Ruffian etc? (Kinda what we did with Moop haha)
But then there’s tracks I’ve listened to that are just straight up noise/powernoise.
Or tracks that sound like what has been coming out on Ad Noiseam, or Ant-Zen, or Planet Mu for years and years.Or some of it just sounds like off-grid dubstep. Why’s it need another name? Brut is the dumbest name I ever heard.
I don’t know if I’m having a moan or what my point is really. I had one and now I’ve lost it.
idk man, just leave it be then?
hardly like anyone’s forcing the music or the moniker on ya haha
not sure where the lo-fi references are coming from tho, most of the stuff i’d consider in the genre is extremely digital and clinical sounding.

No I like the music. Just Brut is a silly name.
I think I meant distorted rather than lo-fi. Lots of noise, static and rumbles.
BAN! 🤡
Dumb name means it’s guaranteed to be successful lol. The best genres often have gash names. And p much everything @cyclopian said.
I coined the term because of:
-brutalist architecture,
-the original meaning of Brut in French (rough, unsweetened),
-the obvious overlap with the word “brute”, and
-the fact that a google image search for the word yields nothing but pictures of champagne and deodorant.
I also think some of you lot are confusing noisy/distorted with lo-fi.

Nah man, keep Brut.
Now you’ve explained it, the name makes a LOT more sense. It works.
And yeah I do interchange distorted with lo-fi a lot. Slap on the wrist.
