NEURALINK COCAINE

co-founder of hyperglitch pioneers @glitch-dot-cool | @soup_lab is a producer based in Detroit. soup’s work has been coterminous with the development of hyperglitch, over a pair of EPs, live sets, and a number of singles and remixes, continually delineating and redrawing the possibilities of the genre. Across upwards of a decade of production, soup’s music has been persistently cutting-edge and persistent in its articulation of a sublimity readily available when computational tools become simultaneous with the shattered mouthing of experience.

One of the most beautiful things about soup’s Realist mix is its demarcation of hyperglitch as a glisteringly intertextual music. With glitch as a basis - and its tenets of emotive centrality and crystallisation via the systemic glitch - flickerings of all else become tinged with poetic importance. Touches of dubstep, future garage, caged tones reminiscent of French house. When glitch occurs it intimates alterity, some secretive crackling in perceived perfectibility. The fissure shoulders a humanity when it enters into cooperation with expression. The expression does not enter our world only as disruption, but a reformulation of the significance of what is broken apart and what is after broken. So when these other musics flicker, they do so not with nostalgia nor a parodic wink, but as composites of an overarching articulation of selfhood within the disrupt.

Many of these writings seem weekly to refer to potentialities, half-stoppered yet unstoppered voices - dubieties of hauntology and its unimaginative ahistoricity. soup’s mix is immediate. It does not disguise its urgency. Where it reappropriates, it colours with an exigency of feeling. It is heavenly straightaway and that itself is an adjuration to the radicality of beauty in the breakability of the at-hand.

I've been finding myself overcome by fragmented memories: the pang of the seasons turning, dreams that linger for days, events and relationships whose mythologies bear no resemblance to the real thing. I think this music reflects that, in a blurry sort of way. Qualities that once anchored my music have become desaturated. Everything’s more subtle, like a furrowed brow and a grin meeting for a fleeting moment on the same face.

This is music I’m still quite shy about. It took a long time to allow myself to start taking these feelings and ideas seriously, but they are a part of me, and always have been. It’s with great hesitancy that I share any of it, especially as my usual mode of operation is sequestering my work away indefinitely. I’ve recently entered a new chapter, unsure of how it will unfold, but trying to learn as always. I’ve stood here before under different circumstances, and I’m sure I’ll be back again.

All music is currently unreleased and is subject to change. Please respect this music in its unfinished state.

Nathan L. is a producer currently based in Berlin. They arrive to Realist off the back of the [LV.SNGZ] EP, one of 2025’s most head-turning releases, the culmination of many years’ work in a computational avant-garde. As much a culmination as the stimulation of a new beginning, NhL’s recent work exemplifies a development in the corpus of hyperglitch, matching technical exploration of the soundscapes of computational noise with investigation into the lives ravelled, contorted and performed in online and digital spaces, as well as further play with the audial potentialities of the computer and web as instrument. There is yet the extreme subversiveness of a music built from codified stammers and algorithmic rupture, but it gains now an intertextuality, a biographical element even, where the destruction of glitch is a means of articulating the ecstatic wasteland of the digital… where bodies are reshaped in a vortex of labyrinthine élan, of fan-communities and livelihoods sycophantic, cultural exchange and intertextuality where personhood is composed of the indefinite and abraded incorporeity chartered by this chaotic noise.

NhL’s Realist mix is a furthering of this world. Voices range from those of the obsequious YouTuber, petitioning our allegiance, to samplings of Japanese media, to voices reduced not to linguistic legibility but a choral thrum, incandescent in their heavenly incoherence, all posed alongside the shattering percussion of glitch. No longer an illustration of solely the instrumental possibilities of hyperglitch, this is an evincement of hyperglitch as a language for the articulation of new bodies, souls and skeletons refound and visible only in a surplusage of bits and data, entities like a cascade of perforated light, bemired in a canon of infinite disappearance. It is an articulation made possible by NhL’s combination of supreme creativity and mischievous bravery. It is an articulation only explicable when encountered. And this encountering an audacious, perplexing and the embodiment of an exigent, essential music.

Realist Alive Radio 029: Nathan L.

Guildford’s crown prince of glitch @thorjn found full flower with the 2025 album Through The Crystal Window. Thorjn’s most recent record exists entirely in its own realm. It sounds like what Thorjn was making before... the distinction is that there is no longer a “like”. There’s no longer the “like” of external comparison either. Just an actuality & accomplishment of singular sonic vision, a nu-planet made from its own hands only, with pacific vistas, ludic dreams, an emergent post-humanity that is an ur-humanity sung out of this amalgamation of imagination, breakage, soul and wires. It’s a music simultaneously busy and luxuriant. It might need its own language, not from hyperbole but because why attempt elocute what is soaringly said in sounds that bear their own beyonds. I still don’t know the words that Thorjn sings on its last track. I don’t need to know what a ray of light feels when to welcome Summer.

Thorjn’s Realist mix is constructed from the music that influenced Crystal Window in its development and the music to influence Thorjn in its afterglow, as work proceeded on the forthcoming NOVOPANGEA. It flutters through all manner of new age, ambient, IDM and hyperglitch, forming a kind of companion to Crystal Window, exhibiting the same extraordinariness of world-building, invitations into reveries lain on terrains ordinarily inaccessible. Summatively, the mix is the imaging of a world you can only see through sound. It’s a testament to Thorjn’s talent that this world agglomerates pasts and presents, summons vistas via sense alone, renders everything picturesque and palpable - a biome and a paean conjured in the proof of the possibility of art.
