Don’t know what to do with this, but wanted it somewhere other than sitting in my laptop.

Maybe it was a nameless track by a soundcloud user called 00683402-289 — the cover a blurred face of a woman with ghost-white eyes, like Sadako from The Ring, cut by digital glitches and strange numbers flickering in the background. The link vanished hours later. But those who listened… never forgot.
I found it by accident. It was 3AM, headphones maxed, scrolling through random SoundCloud playlists. It started with a muffled laugh, like someone locked in a closet. Then came static, strange rhythms, distorted Jersey kicks — too fast, too broken, something was wrong. There were whispers. TV noise. Voices I couldn’t understand.
Since then, I started seeing a pattern. Different profiles. Same cursed energy. Tracks with names like bathroomcamera3final or i see u in the walls. Producers hiding behind aliases. Accounts disappearing overnight. But they all shared one thing:
The music felt… alive.
🎧 What is Horror Club? Before the blood hit the dancefloor, Jersey Club was pure bounce and joy — fast, chopped-up, full of Motorola ringtone charm and YouTube-480p nostalgia. But over time, something… broke. Glitches multiplied. BPMs spiked. And what once sounded playful turned unrecognizable.
Horror Club is what happens when that energy gets possessed. The structure is still there — the kicks, the stutters, the loops — but now warped, cursed, infected. You hear voices that shouldn’t be there. TV static. Disconnected calls. Ghosts saying “dead… dead… dead” instead of “bounce”. And those iconic whip sounds? They’re still around — but drowned in bitcrush, flanger, and digital rot. Less nightclub, more haunted hospital hallway.
If classic Jersey sounds like a packed summer rave, Horror Club is a cold 4AM rave in a collapsing asylum with one flickering fluorescent light and a generator on its last breath.
This isn’t just a new style. It’s a transmission. And you might’ve already heard it without knowing.

🎧The mysterious online entity known only as “DJ Wallh4x” released this project on Club Cringe back in 2021. Every moment scratches every fold of your brain. Although the samples on the album range from cute video game references to church hymn vibes, there’s an undeniable evilness in every track. I listened to the whole album in the shower the other morning and had such a glorious day after. Favorite tracks “BMORA CLUB”, “Buy Mode”, “Crazy Hand”.

Absolute weirdo art-pop from the early 2010’s, a more fringe entry from the 4AD catalogue if that tickles your fancy

🍔I’m convinced restaurants have popularized them because they can use less meat and charge the same price. It’s a small thing individually, but on a global scale…
