DJ Tankard - Program the Soul (Cyborg Rhetoric Remix)

Originally conceived in 2021 as an instrumental, “Anal Sex” began as part of @theuropeancanon’s early live AV sets following the release of their TAXAO EP. Built around a droning Korg Monologue bassline, sparse percussion, sampled jazz loops, and a pounding 808 kick, the track steadily evolved—layered over time with breakbeats and added rhythmic complexity.

While living in Barcelona, @dj_tsome contributed raw, unfiltered vocals recounting a surreal and raunchy sexual encounter, adding a chaotic human texture to the track. Further contributions came from Angelo Willem Ricci, Troublesome’s roommate at the time in Raval, who laid down jagged, No Wave-inspired guitar takes that were later chopped and reassembled in post-production.

The resulting track is an unholy fusion—part sleazy club anthem, part experimental collage—channeling the aggression of The Prodigy, the transgressive spirit of Genesis P-Orridge and Throbbing Gristle, the grit of So Solid Crew, and the abrasive guitar energy of the downtown New York No Wave scene.

“Anal Sex” is out now on streaming platforms, and available for download as part of “The Grooveyard: Volume 2” on cassette tape and digital format ⛓️
