God Is War the Los Angeles-based artist and producer a.k.a. Mack Chami joins forces with Toronto-based Andrew Nolan (Intensive Care, Column of Heaven, The Endless Blockade) for The Hunt, and stretch boundaries into oblivion without compromise.

Friends and occasional collaborators for over a decade, throughout 2022, they assembled The Hunt, pooling their respective talents into one vision. “Andrew brings order to my chaos,” notes Mack. “I’ll do my glitchy stuff, and he’ll pick out the parts he likes the most and makes them more cohesive. I feel like we’re pushing forward by using more unconventional electronic music approaches to create a dark and heavy electronic mashup of dubstep, IDM, and hip-hop,”

The result of this cross-pollination is a harrowing détournement of contemporary electronic music’s utopianism, presenting the listener with a post-apocalyptic dubstep, a vision of a block party after the oil runs out.
