POOLHOUSE PRESENTS...BRUISEFIST💥👊
a digital dub radio gothic..and the ultimate act of creative self-invention
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
I AM THE FIST THAT WILL CRACK THE SKY:
DR. REV. DJ POOLHOUSE UNLEASHES BRUISEFIST, A TRANSGRESSIVE CYBERNETIC RADIO RITUAL PERFORMANCE FOR BACKKLASH.💥👊
Dr. Reverend DJ Poolhouse—visionary pop art producer, self-styled octolectician, and “disco shock jock” talk show host—delivers his most explosive and genre-defying creation yet with BRUISEFIST, a transgressive pop-art performance disguised as a digital dub radio gothic, disguised as an “ordinary” episode of HERE COMES THE BACKKLASH, disguised as a Poolhouse bit RUN AMOK.
This absurdist and provocative sci-horror-comedy radio transmission blends high-theory with low-frequency, media critique with self-mythology, Poolhousean wit with techno-occultism, and AI protocols with supernatural prophecy.. The result is BRUISEFIST, the ultimate act of creative self-invention, a manifesto for the age of of the Cyberian, and an oracular pop art performance unlike anything else on the airwaves. 💥👊
A COSMIC WAR FOR THE FUTURE OF THE REAL: HIGH CONCEPT LIVING ART PIECE MEETS AUTOPOIETIC TECHNOFUNK FUTURISM
Poolhouse’s influences on this project range from the sublime transmissions of Detroit techno radio legend Electrifyin’ Mojo, the paranoiac metaphysics of Philip K. Dick, to the afrofuturist aesthetics of George Clinton, to the ritual performance art of Marina Abramović.
Taking direct inspiration from Maturana and Varela’s groundbreaking work Autopoiesis and Cognition: The Realization of the Living, Walter Benjamin’s The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and Donna Haraway’s Manifesto for Cyborgs, BRUISEFIST grapples with the post-human condition, the nature of the self and the cosmos, the weaponization of media and human perception, and the question of whether a mediated reality itself can be trusted. This is a radio experiment that does not just describe the spectacle—it becomes the spectacle. 💥👊
"THE TRANCE DOTH ALREADY BEEN ENHANCED"
The episode of HERE COMES THE BACKKLASH featuring BRUISEFIST is an electric séance, a digital dub radio gothic, and a sly comical and highly surreal critique of mediated reality. It is an artistic statement of intent, a thought-provoking spiritual transmission, a riveting pop broadcast, and a strikingly original unscripted performance piece–all in one: BRUISEFIST will leave listeners questioning whether they are consuming the digital content—or if the digital content is consuming them. 💥👊
HERE COMES THE BACKKLASH presents "BRUISEFIST"—a divinely transgressive, sci-horror-comedy cybernetic radio performance ritual by DJ POOLHOUSE. Now streaming worldwide via backklash.org and backklash.substack.com.💥👊
