"what happened?"

| The 'Hardcore Continuum' was anything but: it was characterised by a set of violent exponential ruptures. House, Techno: |Cultural contagions| ravaged the periphery of the |Command Core|. Points of Entry: Detroit, Chicago. |status: novel incunabula| —the rapid |en|coding of a message— crossing the Atlantic. Mycelia from neurogenesis: || New York hip-hop, 16bit sampling, Funk, Soul: 16th note grooves with |Swings| within 2-4 bar patterns. |Interruptions| in traditional structures, often leading to |Breaks|. Utilisation of the song's |break| as the primary rhythm, further compounded by the practice of |Disassembly| into new ||| combinatory structures through DSP, a |[syn]| flow of |[dia]| interruptions, an |[dia]| cut that is |[syn]| continuous: a wandering womb, it was said, that engendered a new kind of machine. Acid, winding stabs, ecstasy, accelerating tempos: Hardcore Rave as an in|fection|. Schema of subterfuge in the streets of England -><- brewing from the air down. By this point it was already too late. |dia|technics manifested in |break|beat as speed, euphoria |it came in from all directions: (from cold war runaway psyops)(from the islamic golden age and the asynchronous discovery of zero)(from Nino's dream)(from the outside that wants in)|, intent of puncture through systems whose catatonia-in-repetition was approaching. |||| | The 'end' of the Hardcore Continuum was the point at which the increasing rhythm became pitch, an infinite multiplicity of cuts becoming One.

'A little sugar' is a discursive dissection of this event, a point in time which boiled to infinity. Not as a returnal to form (as the current music fosters in repetition ad nauseam, trying in vain to conjure the specter of poiesis against impersonal death); but rather a clinical departure into the No|thing —from whence music comes (and must therefore go).
