Concepts
Best 3 moments
Key moment
Genre description flips into rhythmic procedure. Timestretched breaks approach "high-frequency sound," "time folds onto itself," and Land's jungle-war machinery "forgets how to count."
Key moment
Fisher's Terminator image names the pressure point. Jungle strips capital's "human mask," identifies with "the inorganic circuitry beneath," and fixes that turn in Rufige Kru's android death's-head logo.
Key moment
The afterlife runs through internet recursion. Machine Girl arrives "like playing Doom high on speed." New breakcore appears as a "future past," a reupload of the 1990s lost future.

Definition · paragraph 4
In an interview, Robin Mackay, a student of Nick Land like Mark Fisher, describes jungle music as a “weird multitemporal hybrid entity dedicated to picking apart the body and disrupting it with polyrhythm and with bass.” Twenty years later, the new breakcore music follows the same project. Artists like Machine Girl, xX_gloom13_Xx, Golden Boy, and Goreshit are the sign of a future past: not the representation of a new future, but the return to a lost future which was already celebrated by the 1990s.
Definition · paragraph 4
(https://bluelabyrinths.files.wordpress.com/2022/12/3-machine-girl.png) To listen to Machine Girl is like playing a video game like Doom high on speed. After jungle music, the new breakcore music represents the metropolis of the future following its reupload to the Internet: again, another techno-cultural space populated by cyborg killers and alien hunter races, but also characters from shooter video games and Japanese anime culture.
Mechanism · paragraph 2
[…] Annihilation becomes the condition of the radically new.” However, the principles of short circuit and destruction, so paradigmatic of accelerationist philosophy, are not exclusive to jungle music, in whose respect Mark Fisher and Nick Land were both the patrons and the theoreticians.
