♫♪  Chocolate Grinder Mix 71 - Logitech HD Webcam C270, 720p Widescreen Video Calling and Recording (960-000694)

Delve deep enough in the world of SoundCloud and you’re bound to discover some truly innovative musicians, artists who seem to either have low ambitions for their music or simply don’t care about getting widely distributed. This mentality can result in the wildest, risk-free experiments on and off the internet, and while not every artist on this mix approaches music this way (maybe none of them do), the majority have precisely this quality of uninhibited adventurousness that exaggerates or goes beyond the confines of the genres by which they were clearly influenced (grindcore, noise, hip-hop, new age, vaporwave, musique concrete, etc.). From the pseudo-collage approach of VHS Logos and Shortcake Collage Tape, to the mallfuck plundering of Happens and 骨架的 (now known as 骷, FYI), to the 21st-century beats of 食品まつり a.k.a foodman and Rebuilder, to the unclassifiable warpings of 肉人形✰MEATDOLL and ICFC, to the solemn modernism of Dirty Beaches, and finally to the post-lolicore horrow show that is BillmaZter, this mix isn’t for the faint of heart.

Fetishization and obsession mix here with a 21-century technological future that’s stretched so aesthetically and ideologically thin that it’s already starting to vanish before even starting to materialize, where what’s lost in translation is not meaning, but coherence.
