Sewerslvt (pronounced "sewerslut"), was the project of an anonymous transgender Australian electronic music producer, known for their contributions to Breakcore, Drum and bass, and Jungle.[1][2][3][4][5]

Career[edit]

Sewerslvt was initially known as Sadboy Sheldon[6] prior to the release of the first studio album, Don't Be Afraid Of Dying[6][7]. During this time, they produced dance-party mashups.[1] They adopted the female identity and become Jvne/Jvnko later on when they debuted with instrumental hip-hop of Don't Be Afraid of Dying in 2017, whose songs are sampled melodies over trap beats. The album became known for the introduction that featured shock content.[1][5]

The ten-song EP Interdimensional Snuff Films[6][7] released in 2018[5] contained music that was incomplete. The songs featured are primarily remixes of Death Grips songs.[1] The double EP Sewer//Slvt released in 2018 as well. It opens with abrasive industrial music and chopped-up vocals in Sanae, continuing with a remix of Sade in Cute Panties Soaked in Arizona Iced Tea, and a remix of Daft Punk's Doin' It Right. The Japanese vocal sampled drum n' bass of Pretty Cvnt, their first Internet hit, released in Sewer//Slvt. The second part of the double EP shows archetypes of drum n' bass such as Oni and NTR Ending. Catharsis, after four minutes of funeral drones and a minute of guitar distortion, ends with the audio of the last video left by a Bjork stalker before he committed suicide.[1] After this, the EP ends with drum n' bass on Slvt.[1]

Starving Slvts Always Get Their Fix[6][7] released in 2018. After droning, the seven-minute Starving Slvt Overture blends electronics and Death Grips-style breakcore. Dopamine Rush reverses it, starting with an industrial-hop bacchanal and ending with ambience. The rest is sample-based drum n' bass and industrial music, (Cold Steel and The Maw) and sample-based drum n' bass and loops (Witness the Death).[1]

The five-song EP Child Sacrifice[6][7] also from 2018 caused controversy from the cover depicting sex abuse. The EP contains two tracks of looped and sampled drum n' bass: Was It Weird I Listened to "I'm God" by Clams Casino's When I Lost My Virginity and the eight-minute The Grilled Fish's Ballad.

They became a darling of the transgender subculture on social media (like 4chan and KiwiFarms[3])[5] but increasingly attracted controversy for their obsession with depravity and death. They excelled at marketing themselves on the Internet, becoming a center of mass for debates and discussions about the depression of persecuted transgender people.[1][2]

Drowning in the Sewer[6][7] from 2019 is sample-based electronic dance music. In Luciferians and Squids there is chaotic and visceral zenith, and in the eight-minute bass repetition of Lolibox, now one of their top songs. Suicide in Fragments samples video artist Lasse Gjertsen's "Det Ultimate Selvmord/The Ultimate Suicide", which is about a real suicide; Jvnko Loves You is about their male alter-ego, with vocals modified to a church choir and contrasting with drumming. The eight-minute long noise in Death & Humanity, alongside the 16-minute Nothingness with its own noise in difference timbres for six minutes, then atmospheric and fluctuating noise, after the former a lugubrious descent into a space of drones, and at the end was shock content. The insertion of audio documents of real cases of suicide propels Jvne's music into controversy status quo ante bellum.[1][5]

The five-song EP Infatuation[6][7] from 2019 contains self-flagellating drum n' bass (Inpeace) and re-contextualized samples such as Intheend, which appropriates Robert Miles' Children.[1]

Draining Love Story[3][6][7][2][4] released on the vaporwave label Geometric Lullaby in 2020[8], and is their most famous album to debut[3][5]. Their most famous song, with drum 'n' bass alongside modified Japanese vocals was Mr. Kill Myself[5], released on the album. Between electronic undertones and euphoric beats in compositions like Yandere Complex and the eight-minute Down the Drain. Mr Kill Myself, one of the more and most iconic drum n' bass songs of the era[3], begins with a synthetic tone before a string of drum n' bass alongside a high-pitched sample sourced from a Japanese Commercial. There is a collage of samples, beats and drones of sophistication in Ecifircas. Lexapro Delirium falls into a conventional techno/house tradition, and This Fleeting Feeling compares with an ambient style, but ends with a sobbing girl. The final song, the eight-minute Slowdeath, is a redundant loop of the same beat and melody as This Fleeting Feeling.[1]

The seven-song EP The World Is Fvcked[6][7][9] released on the vaporwave label Wave Racers Collective[10] in December of 2020, came with the Japanese-tinged ambient drum n' bass MAKE-ME-SAD, the industrial bacchanal Psychosis, the acrobatic breakcore of Something of Value Less Than That, and the ambient techno jam Ruined Snowy Day, alongside the seven-minute distorted techno I Really Like You Pt 2 and the seven-minute vocal sequel to Jvnko Loves You from Drowning in the Sewer, Jvnko Still Loves You.[1]

Skitzofrenia Simulation[6][7], released in June of 2021, with electronic soundscapes like Car Accident and drum n' bass of pieces like Purple Hearts in Her Eyes. Restlessness has drum n' bass, alongside an ambient sound of pitched up samples. The industrial music of Slvtcrvsher only lasts two minutes. I Break My Heart and Yours and Never Existed brought plaintive melody and drum n' bass.[1]

The single Tortvred Lesbians Ripped Apart[6][7] released alongside or just after Skitzofrenia Simulation, containing one 22-minute long collage. In Tortvred Lesbians Ripped Apart, the drumming acceleration ends at the seven-minute mark, replaced by droning distortion whose crescendo leads to infernal cacophony, from which a techno beat struggles to arise, suffocated the first time by the miasma but triumphant the second time, at the very end, save disintegrating in the general implosion of the music.[1]

We Had Good Times Together, Don't Forget That[6][7][2] from November of 2021,[5] and the last studio album was conceived after the suicide of their partner[3]. Among the tracks, All the Joy in Life Was Gone Once You Left begins neurotic but settles into a regular steady propulsive beat with a loud synth melody in search of a rousing chorus; and the exuberant techno carillon Light at the End of the Tunnel is upbeat. Ultradespair, which betrays angst and anger, and the harsh and oneiric ambient drones of Borderline. Dissociating, which is the dancefloor version of shoegaze-rock, and the supernatural pounding nightmare of Blissful Overdose. Her, presumably a requiem for their lover, a nonlinear collage of manic beats, nostalgic vocal samples and shrieking synth melodies that ends in a cosmic vortex. The 17-minute Goodbye, a suite in multiple movements, begins quiet yet glitchy but at the seven-minute mark picks up speed and becomes a melodic crescendo over an exuberant beat evoking wild partying, which then fades into ambience.[1]

Sewerslvt's music was part of a new wave of breakcore in the 2010s and 2020s with elements of ambient music, provocative themes, and cyberpunk anime aesthetics. Sewerslvt was associated with that genre and was part of a revival of its popularity. After the death of their partner in 2021, which resulted in We Had Good Times Together, Don't Forget That[6][7], the anonymous musician behind Sewerslvt had a hiatus from music, and stopped producing sole content under the Sewerslvt alias.[1][2][3][5]

On 6th June 2023, Sewerslvt released a collaboration song between themselves and AgonyOST.[citation needed] On 25th December 2023, Sewerslvt released another.[citation needed]

On 9th May 2024, the anonymous musician behind Sewerslvt created a new musical project, using the Sewerslvt name to promote it: Cynthoni. They released with an EP called Sewerslvt presents: Cynthoni, Pt. 1[5]
