The closer brings Liz Ocean and Sladyen Skaya together for the first time. Their voices don’t harmonize; they argue. Ocean’s high-end melody is pitted against Skaya’s low-end mumble over a broken footwork beat. It collapses into pure noise at 2:45, then rebuilds as a simple, beautiful synth pad for ten seconds before cutting off mid-note. Frustrating. Intentional. Perfect.

Artist: WakeUpNFuck (feat. Liz Ocean & Sladyen Skaya) Release: WUNF 3 Label: Self-Released / Unmastered Digital Rating: 7.4/10

Sladyen Skaya slows the tempo to a crawl. Think early Swans meets a broken CD player. Skaya’s delivery is half-sung, half-confessed, buried under layers of tape hiss and a single, repeating piano chord that’s detuned by a quarter-tone. At 6:12, it overstays its welcome slightly, but the final minute—where the rhythm drops out entirely, leaving only Skaya breathing and a distant siren—is genuinely unnerving.

Fans of Lustmord , *Arca’s Kick iii , or anyone who believes a “wrong” note is more interesting than a correct one.

The title track for the EP opens with a glitched-out alarm loop and a field recording of a hangover. WUNF’s signature lo-fi percussion hits like a hammer on a broken 909. Lyrically, it’s nihilistic but functional: “Snooze again / Lose a friend.” A perfect manifesto for the record’s lack of patience.

WUNF 3 isn’t an album you casually stream on a Sunday morning. It’s the third transmission from the chaotic collective WakeUpNFuck (WUNF), a project that thrives on distortion, loop-based aggression, and spoken-word vitriol. This installment drafts two distinct voices: the ethereal yet corrupted Liz Ocean and the guttural, industrial poet Sladyen Skaya . The result is 34 minutes of genre-friction that sits somewhere between post-club, power electronics, and deconstructed techno.
