Gargantuan Grief - Rise Toward The Ubermensch

An ode to failure!

Departing from the image of the genius artists, the Hit&Miss compilation wants to show the hidden parts of creation, by embracing missteps and abandonment as a natural part of any artistic journey. 

Open to all members of the Global URL Nation, it proposed a new home for projects that couldn't find a place to exist otherwise, due to artistic (self-)exigency, technical problems, bad timing or any other reason often unknown to the general public. 

With more than 20 artists from a broad range of styles, experience and locations, it gathers unfinished projects such as aborted WIP, forgotten drafts, lost files, unconvincing demos, compulsive emotional bursts or technical experimentations. 

With all its flaws and raw cuts, Hit&Miss asserts the strength of trial and error, and cherishes the impossibility to develop an idea into a finished object as a learning process towards one's growth.

In Japanese Buddhism, it's believed that when someone dies they are ushered down one of six paths depending on the karma accumulated during their previous lives. A being might end up in the world of humans, animals, demigods, or celestials, but it's also possible to end up reborn as a pitiable hungry ghost, doomed to an existence of insatiable desire, or even worse - be sent to hell, or jigoku. Ruled over by the Japanese lord of death Emma-ō, this hell isn't quite like the Christian hell, it's closer to purgatory, and cleansing the karma can take hundreds of millions of years of excruciating torture in extreme cold or immense fire. Japanese bass alchemist Gorgonn takes these themes as the basis of his debut album "Six Paths", assembling a spiritually weighty set of futurist dubs that consider the possibility that our mortal domain might be closer to hell than we realize.

Gorgonn describes himself as a Japalien exile. He left the country of his birth almost two decades ago, and since then has been working tirelessly to formulate Jamaican dub, noise, techno, and no-wave into a sound he calls "sci-fi steppas". If you've not come across his name before, there's a good chance you've heard his reverberations. An established sound tech who's worked with The Bug, Hype Williams, Seefeel and others, he's part of G36 with Kevin Martin, Dokkebi Q with Kiki Hitomi, and a former member of Devilman with DJ Scotch Egg and Bo Ningen's Taigen Kawabe. Just last year he released the acclaimed "Disentegration Dubs" full-length alongside JK Flesh, the veteran producer who's best known for masterminding Godflesh. All this experience blesses Gorgonn's productions with remarkable sonic force, and "Six Paths" is his most crushing display yet, smelting cannonball bass and osmium beats into sharp-edged soundsystem weapons.

Look no further than opener 'Abyss' for evidence of this: psychedelic synths draw the mind away from the mortal realm, while tangled, distorted beats push us back down to earth, our faces crushed into the grit and gravel. Using tweaked sub bass and unsettling drones, Gorgonn lays out a cinematic backdrop for the album, drawing us into a world that's terrifying, viscous, and nauseatingly familiar. There's a militaristic roll to 'Without Beginning and End', a track that juxtaposes spacey halfstep thrusts with death metal distortion, footwork polyrhythms, and unearthly pads that addresses the crushing endlessness of jigoku. On 'Invisible' meanwhile, Gorgonn torches the skeletal remains of D&B, abstracting familiar rhythmic patterns into fuzzy, ritualistic cycles that sound both ancient and humming with prospective technology. But on the closing track 'Life as a Beast', it sounds as if Gorgonn has come to a conclusion, and in a flurry of acid squelches and doomy foghorn bass blasts, he seems to have accepted that being reincarnated as an animal might be the best anyone can hope for. Who knows, you might end up as a cat.

XHL UNIT - "Aisle"

Online Tropics is an experimental electronic music producer based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. With releases on multiple specialized labels and residency spots for independent radio stations he spreads a selection of forward-thinking music based on empathy, life in a fast-changing world, and the exploration of how we connect to music with our bodies.


Jungle of Mind EP is about the paradox of the mind, which is at the same time chaotic and structured. The strength of the mind is both driving our progress as humans and at the same time the cause of many of the challenges we have to deal with. Music has a direct impact on this chaos and structure, which is explored on this new EP.

聲音來自對未知的超古代文明想像
斷垣殘壁的破碎痕跡中可看出曾發生的一場災厄
撞擊! 撞擊! 夷為平地!

The sound comes from the imagination of an unknown hyper ancient civilization
Broken traces of the ruined walls can be seen as a reminder of a disaster that occurred
Bump! Bump! Flatten!

Derealisation, the loss of connection to one's surroundings, a feeling that reality is foggy, lacking depth, a world we can't experience. Through our dependence on digitally mediated lifestyles we have drifted into an infinite number of personalised unrealities such that, for most people, reality isn't objectively real. Perhaps this is an understandable response to the alienation, manipulation, and obfuscation of the so-called real world. It is a distraction, a necessary distortion. Can we be re-realised? Can the world that a person's mind resides in be communicated? Or will we continue our spiralling descent into ourselves? SHARED UNREALITIES is a response to fake everything and real nothingness, our lack of trust in institutions, and our need for connection in a digitised world without meaning.
[written in collaboration with DeepAI Text Generation API]

The mechanism resonates with illuminated soft orange glow of superheated metals. Liquid memories seep into fractal thoughts of a crystalline reality.  A forgotten technology teeming with life.
