Mick Jogger Variously atmospheric, spooky, pumping and reflective, but always on a journey. Whether you're moving or staying still, you'll feel like you're on an exploration while listening to this. Favorite track: Hair and Dust.

Christian Bishop OMG what a masterpiece from start to finish with so many surprises in between. One of the freshest and most exciting experimental electronic albums I've heard in a long long time. Favorite track: Parsing Time.

about

Heavy Machinery Records is proud to present 'Party Music For Popular People' the mind-bending new album from Melbourne electronica genius null hypothesis.

Are you a person? Are you popular? Do you like parties? Well, this album is made with you in mind. null hypothesis unceremoniously thrusts this screeching, mewling gift into your arms like an unwanted baby in a supermarket parking lot, confusingly accompanied by an ugly handmade card. Go on, take it. Have a nice life.

Party Music For Popular People is a multifaceted journey, exploring the chasms and peaks between relentlessly danceable noise cutups and gently nuanced ambience. Drawing inspiration from genres such as breakcore, neoclassical, death metal, donk, hip hop and chiptunes, the album somehow manages not to sound like any of them. Rather, if those genres had factories, PMFPP would be the dumping ground for their industrial waste.

On a technical and creative level, PMFPP is the product of challenge, an enforced expansion of skills. It captures the introspective vacuity that accompanies a lockdown-fuelled obsession with broadening musical horizons and learning new production techniques...all the while dancing around the bedroom to endless livestreams. The only wafts of meaning take the form of facetious self-effacement and nods to daft tropes. It’s dark, it’s brutal, it’s wry, it’s fun, it’s stupid. It may not articulate anything important, but it’s a love-letter to all the things that keep us us, while we can’t do any of the things that make us, us.

about

null hypothesis Australia

Broken beats/blips/distorted-crashy-glitchy-desolate noisescapes. Mostly made from field recordings and decaying electronics. Samples cut compulsively, looped and arranged with all the panache of a five-day-old goat and spat back out in a pounding tangle. There's stupid blippy gameboy stuff in there sometimes too. ... more
