NTHNL and the groove dwelling jazztronic tribalism of "Hate Creator" (Official Video)

 

"This is the first single off of my upcoming techno-opera, check out the video and be open to it"


The groove dwelling jazztronic tribalism of "Hate Creator", by NTHNL (pronounced Nathaniel), the moniker of Jake Rudin, a Brooklyn-based composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and instrument-maker, is darkly drawn, wonderfully weird like a run through a mysterious maze, a mix of gothic funk rock with Andalusian dips, jazz punk flips and askew art rockian progressive psychedelic frills, all at once. "Hate Creator" accompanied with a trippy, flipped out Official Video is the lead single from Rudin's next album /movie "What Kind of World is This", a "techno opera" dropping early in 2026 via the label Youngbloods. 

Rudin besides composing, played all the instruments except for violin which was helmed by Minnie Jordan. This included Flute, Shakuhachi, EWI, guitar, production and mixing. The track was Mastered by James Bernard. I am loving the ride here and where the song takes me in my mind. It is the kind of audacious kind of sound track that you might expect in a supernatural Nicholas Cage movie as written and directed by Panos Cosmatos or maybe the next barn burner written and directed by the Safdie Brothers.

Cool.
