In Episode 169 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg discusses the move by the Kyiv City Council to name a street after Nazi collaborator Volodymyr Kubiyovych, who was instrumental in forming the SS Galizien Division. The plan was quashed by Kyiv's mayor following protests from the Israeli ambassador—but not before internet tankies exploited the affair to portray Ukraine as a "Nazi state." Ironically, this came the same week that President Volodymyr Zelensky honored victims of the Holocaust at the Babi Yar memorial in Kyiv. The unseemly nostalgia for Nazi collaborators who fought the Soviets in World War II is opposed by the leadership of Ukraine's Jewish community—who also vigorously repudiate efforts by Kremlin propagandists to launder Putin's war of aggression as "denazification." Russia's fascist pseudo-anti-fascism is likewise repudiated by Ukraine's own bona fide left-wing anti-fascists, in groups such as the Solidarity Collectives, who now support the Ukrainian war effort against the Russian aggression.

3hr Opening Set from the March 8th 2024 show at Smartbar with Ben UFO and myself. 
A fun, slow building, funky set covering a vast array of styles but centered on bass and breaks. Really tried to stretch myself on this one. Snuck a few unreleased originals in there as well.

LYRICS -

HOOK
Crack the sky- I see the moon
Gave my life to be with you
Called you three times, got the voicemail Texted twice and then I knew
I should prolly wakeup
I should prolly wakeup
All black sky I see the moon
Wakeup
She leaves me bruise
Every night I lay an think of
Payback
But it ain't no use
Get my revenge or should I maybe stay back An wait it through
Im hoping that karma find just where you lay at An pay you too

VERSE
Been on my way for payback Wasted my life for paychecks Leave it to me to keep on a grudge I keep it on me to pay debt
So say less
Cause secrets seep in mulch
An dirt on you could eat us both Dreams are turning miracles
an nightmares always leave a hole
Bleed, 

hook
when I fall asleep Nightmares haunt an creep 100 rounds what I got on me They plot on me
I need cream, 1000 hour weeks Round your town, I'm deep
Walkin around with my head in space I'm counting sheep
I see things when I fall asleep Hear them calling for me baby Everybody think I'm crazy
I see things when I fall asleep Hear them calling for me baby Everybody think I'm crazy

VERSE
 Who's to blame it on
Sprintin for my life, the bed I lay upon
I made in patience, diggin graves for everytime I played it wrong The faces in the dark are people I ain't seen in way too long Secrets stain the pane
I read the room before I played the song
God aint never granted me sanity, why I'm good as gone
But look the part an carve out my vanity in the book of John
You won't never break me or
The ground in which I stand upon
Wrap the handle with the tape an slam it on granit floor

BRIDGE
Baby take me way back
Said id kill you - all I want is payback

VERSE
Pay my debts an made a wish
To grip the ledge, gave death a kiss
An weighed the odds, he’ll never win
He’ll never be himself again - so
This to anyone who ever been broke
Just let go
Take a breath an see the skies of jet smoke
I see visions As I lay awake of
Silhouettes an shades of grey
The Whispers out monitors been louder now that things have changed Watch your back cause karma fast
A Visit paid be all in cash
Took the paper an did the dash
He trippin bad
Fuckin the game up, came up
Climbing the way up
Wide eyes wake, an smokin stay up
runnin in place, I’m runnin a lay up
Too many times I said I would stay but
Gone - I’m with the wind
Temp is less then ten
Yeah
Guess he’ll never win
Nightmares got em pinned

HOOK
Crack the sky- I see the moon
Gave my life to be with you
Called you three times, got the voicemail Texted twice and then I knew
I should prolly wakeup x2
I see things when I fall asleep Nightmares haunt an creep 100 rounds what I got on me They plot on me
I need cream, 1000 hour weeks Round your town, I'm deep
Walkin around with my head in space 
im countin sheep
I should prolly wakeup
All black sky I see the moon
Wakeup
She leaves me bruise
Every night I lay an think of
Payback
But it ain't no use
Get my revenge or should I maybe stay back An wait it through
Im hoping that karma find just where you lay at An pay you too
I see things when I fall asleep
Hear them calling for me baby
Everybody think I'm crazy
whos to blame it on

GREY - P A Y B A C K (PROD. CLXCKWRK)

THE COMEDOWN (prod. Xantu)

I took some breaks my partner in sonic crime (https://soundcloud.com/ghotiphoti) shared with me (we have a collab project, more on that soon!) and gave them the XZK treatment :) 

Magic Eight Ball Breaks Cooked To A Crisp

The first of several remixes of my dear friend 🎱's track 𝘼𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙞𝙖 (https://soundcloud.com/ghotiphoti/anemoia) but please head to his bandcamp https://ghotiphoti.bandcamp.com/track/anemoia and buy the original or at the very least, follow him <3

ghotiphoti - anemoia (XZK remix)

“Grauzone” is pressure made audible—
a collision of memory, decay, and mechanical pulse.
Recorded live to timeline, mixed on instinct.
No linearity. No answers. Just grey matter in motion.

KNUCKLEDUSTER & THE CRAWLER SONG "Greyzone" | My Hero Academia Vigilantes Fan Song

Haven't touched this one in a while but I wanted to upload this jam recording. It's part of my upcoming live set and a release on a new label.

Needs some love to finish it but this is core me, my sound.

XZK - Sharpest Shooter (preview)

Preview jam of what is probably going to be the B-side of Sharpest Shooter. Except for the drum hits, I only used one 4 bar synth loop sample that I chopped up to create all the other layers. All the rest are ludicrous FX chains, Max 4 Live automation and sends.

I have it set up to be as long as I want it to be, eternally looping and variating. But I don't recommend going in alone.

XZK - Mourning Assembly (preview)

Not nearly as hard as my life has been.

A rework with custom drums added and upping the tempo of Fallen Angels VIP (https://soundcloud.com/zuurkern/xzk-fallen-angels-vip)

Featuring:

- Konka - Shinobi Shuffle (https://soundcloud.com/deepdarkdangerous/shinobi-shuffle)
- Substance, Kowta - MAD (https://soundcloud.com/deepdarkdangerous/mad?in=deepdarkdangerous/sets/demons-400998527)
- XZK sends, drums, shenanigans and secret sauce

XZK - Fallen Demons

Another slice of the greyzone pie fresh from the oven. I can do this all night.

A rework with custom drums added and downing the tempo of Fallen Angels VIP (https://soundcloud.com/zuurkern/xzk-fallen-angels-vip)

Featuring:
