NM Presents: ILLEGAL GENERATION Vol. 2 by LIL INTERNET (2025) xx

A follow up to his 2024 mixtape, Illegal Generation Vol. 1, Lil
Internet brings you Vol. 2 — a new hour of fresh “gencore,” which
aired today on Mark Leckey’s monthly NTS radio show.
[https://www.nts.live/shows/mark-leckey] “Compared to Volume 1,”
Lil Internet writes, “Volume 2 feels closer to a truly functional
example of what AI generated music might offer outside of joke
songs and the emulation of styles that already exist—it’s also more
deranged.” “Both, however, are made in the tradition of
sample-based, breakbeat driven dance music,” Lil Internet points
out, which is to say music that “has always been made using the
latest technology and stolen data (uncleared samples).” In this
sense, Gencore is part of the natural evolution of what music
critic Simon Reynolds named the “hardcore continuum.” Could one
even argue that the big AI companies — sampling everything we type,
everything we upload, everything we do — follow the same protocol?
Perhaps the “hardcore continuum” has expanded from something we
listen to into something we are living through. SUBSCRIBE to New
