Not your typical PFP project, Fvck_Avatars are 3D collectibles that have inherent utilities in the ecosystem Fvckrender is building.

FVCK_AVATAR//

You are billions of gigaparsecs away from earth, floating on a rust-coloured planet. The sky is black and the ground is rumbling. The dream feels vivid and real.

Sculptures made of liquid metal and glowing crystal embellish the planets in LVCIDIA. Created long ago by intergalactic artists, they express the fragility of our existence and the beauty of our humanity.

Today, they are yours to explore.

FVCK_AVATAR// #2616

Sometimes the only way out is through. Civilizations in ruin tell stories of prideful men burning bridges & passing judgment. I inhaled the ashes of the aftermath as visions of the past became clear. A guardian angel descended upon my ancestors, exiling them from the place they called home. A golden blade carved out the foundation of the castle walls and suspended it above the clouds for no man, woman, or child to ever return.

Centuries have passed since then, yet the paradigms remain. At my birth I was given a pendant in the shape of a key by an elderly traveler. My grandmother told me it resembled a legendary sword. I carried it with me for decades never knowing its true power. But the day you and I met, I experienced an awakening; a burning sensation beneath my feet. Warring kingdoms became our thoughts. The battlefield, our conversations. The pen is mightier than the sword but the power of life and death is in the tongue. In truth you were sent to destroy me, but as time passed we found happiness in one another. You returned to your homeland only to be deemed a failure and executed. But love is not blind. It sees you in the dark and chooses to be your light. 

An emotional outburst to the news of your departure created a rift in the earth beneath our feet. From the dust appeared the key of legend. What I believed to be visions, were in fact memories of reincarnation. The guardian angel in human form, cast down from the Eternal Garden to endure pain, suffering, and heartbreak. 

Oh, how much Ive learned. In my agony, I cursed my enemies. I sought out revenge. The trials by which I judged humanity, even I could not conquer. I learned that the heart is fragile, but love is the password to every soul.

So in this life, I use this key, like Cupids arrow  to restore the Earth.

Wheelie was the first song I made for My Golden Horse. 4KM (my producers) and I were in a studio session for about 6 hours at around 3am that night, the beat hit and I immediately knew what the hook was gonna be. Wheelie took about 6 months to make because we had a hard time figuring out how to weave in all the different textures, and pick all the right ideas to go into the final version of the song.

I just popped a wheelie on u = I just flexed on u. Its to remind ourselves that we deserve to give ourselves credit every once in a while after we put the work in to feel pride about our creations.

Winner of the golden egg receives a 1 of 2 merch piece that only the winner and I will own + the 1/1 music video of Wheelie

Every collector of my last sound drop (ASICS) + every collector who picks up an edition of Wheelie receives free merch as well + access to my twitter community + discord

WHEELIE #2

MEMPHIS IN THE HOUSE 

ASICS was just me popping my shit. I made it at the beginning of the process of my EP "My Golden Horse" and the song is about getting up, strapping your boots (asics) and getting to work and forcing the outcome you wanna see in life, no matter the odds stacked against. A lot of artists in this space have existed in an industry that's relentless and unforgiving.... It took a lot for me to become a fan of myself and tell myself I was deserving of blessings. Also the outro of this song is insane and it brings me so much joy every time I hear it.

ASICS #2

We made iPhone as the first track for my crowdfund project Your High Horse. I went to Atlanta like the first week we launched it and we immediately pumped out this song in about an hour or two. This was one of those rare occasions where I knew exactly how I was going to approach the song off rip. The idea was thematically inspired by Device Control by Frank Ocean + Everybody Nose by NERD and its one of those records where I wanted to paint a picture in a tongue in cheek way about the way we all use our phones. The idea is that theres two people in the bathroom at the club (supposed to be having a good time) complaining on social media about having to go out and then on the flip end, how we complain about how wed rather be on our phones than in the moment and how we all have this obsession with portraying something thats not accurate to the rest of the world. how we have this little device with the majority of the accumulated knowledge that we as humans have gathered over time and how it causes us all to feel detached from life in real time because we have entirely too much access.

i started this song in the fall of 2021 after a fight with a family member. i felt so misunderstood and frustrated by how childish and inconsequential the fight was - on my way home i wrote the first lyric you said some things you never meant that you thought you did. as time passed, the fight that started with my family member shifted to one between me and myself. i was so disappointed at how much energy i let the entire situation take from me - the song became as much about a fight with myself as it is about a fight with someone else.  

in that moment i was certain that my relationships with my family member & myself would forever be deeply altered. but nothing actually changed - my wounds were just paper cuts. i wrote the lyric you dont hurt like you think you do, like a bug but i just scratch right through - and the rest of the song fell into place. i realized i wasnt writing about being angry or disappointed - i was writing about the power and amusement of realizing your own strength.

i produced the bones of the song as i wrote it. as the emotion of the song changed, i tried to make the songs darker, grittier elements to work in a light, playful way - the muted guitars and distorted bass line still drive the song, but the chord changes feel less serious. i sent the entire project over to my friend struan finlay in new zealand to fill out the rest of the production.

collectors will get access to a collectors-only telegram chat. the golden egg winner will also receive a one off piece of i could do this all night merch.

You said some things you never meant that you thought you did
For a second I was tongue-tied, twisted like a kid
And I warned ya, you spend too much time in your head
You're a ticking bomb and I'm an easy hit

But you don't hurt like you think you do
Like a bug bite I just scratch right through
Try to chase me down 4th avenue
You know I'll always run back to you

Yeah I could do this all night
You throw a mean punch but
I know you can't fight
And I gave up trying to
Give a piece of my mind
I'll let you be right
Run all the circles you like
I could do this all night

Took a shot, took my shoes off, said I'm feeling tough
But the truth is I'd feel anything that you want
And I hope these nights don't take the ones I loved
Oh give me your worst, make it all hurt, let me know when you've had enough

Yeah I could do this all night
You throw a mean punch but
I know you can't fight
And I gave up trying to
Give a piece of my mind
I'll let you be right
Run all the circles you like
I could do this all night

I love it when you talk me down
Throw your best shot now
If it makes you feel better somehow
Knock my teeth right out

Yeah I could do this all night
You throw a mean punch but
I know you can't fight
And I gave up trying to
Give a piece of my mind
I'll let you be right
Run all the circles you like
I could do this all night
Yeah I could do this all night
You throw a mean punch but
I know you can't fight
And I gave up trying to
Give a piece of my mind
I'll let you be right
Run all the circles you like
I could do this all night

I love it when you talk me down
Throw your best shot now

I Could Do This All Night #5

hi my name is ben :) i am an artist & producer based in philadelphia. i have been making music in the same corner of my parents basement for as long as i can remember. i started releasing music in late 2019 - i had been writing & producing for other artists for years but nothing ever felt good enough or special enough or me enough to release myself. i was a senior in college and terrified of failure but more terrified of entering the real world without a career. i will always remember how liberating and validating those first few releases were - i dont naturally share a lot but i fell in love with the challenge of being vulnerable in public

and then COVID hit - all of the stability and validation that i had cherished began to fade. while my friends were starting new lives in new cities with new jobs, i was moving back in with my parents. a lot of the anxiety and self doubt that i had kept at bay for so long crept up - i spent a lot of time in 2021 confronting the baggage that comes with pursuing a creative life. and i spent a lot of time writing about how music & my career ambitions have played into past relationships 

she was also pursuing a creative career - that was our glue but also our downfall. it is comforting to be with someone who shares your dreams and insecurities. but it can also be intense. and confusing. it wasnt until i sat down to write with my friend jono (julius black) that the line could i fix your heart if i fix mine? fell out and things began to make sense - trying to love someone who is just like you is hard

collectors will get access to a token-gated channel in my discord in addition to a private portal on my website (http://benkessler.world) and the golden egg winner will also receive a one off piece of just like me merch

Vaarwell - IDK

LNRZ ON SOUND WK 1 

Vaarwell is an electronic duo with a captivating signature sound. We were immediately drawn to the specificity of their writing and the tasteful beauty of the production. 

In their own words:

IDK is a UK Garage inspired track about the mystery of life, death and its aftermath. It questions a superior creator and the afterlife beliefs we were taught as kids. The song finds no answer to these questions, with the chorus being an admission of ignorance and eagerness to find out the truth.

 "I don't know what to believe. Am I really here? How?"
