Formed in 1997 after Hill and Brunson met while producing visuals at the Channel Five launch party, they decided to take over for the original members of the Ninja Tune multimedia collective Hex that had disbanded around the same time. They soon collaborated with Coldcut for the Natural Rhythms Trilogy, including the critically acclaimed A/V single Timber.
Much of their music involves integrated visual experiences, and both of their main album releases have been CD and DVD combinations; the latest, Master-View, includes 3D "anaglyph" versions of some of their music videos and comes packaged with 3D glasses. Hexstatic has also been instrumental in designing VJ equipment, including the Pioneer DVJ-X1 professional DVD player.
Other artists they have worked with include EBN, Juice Aleem and David Byrne of the Talking Heads.

Hexstatic Lyrics

NINJA
I know you like music, here is a gift.
It is yours, I cannot accept it.
I want you to have it, but before you go please play some music for me.
Yes Master.
In three months time, I will be leaving.
Only the future holds the answer.
What does that mean master?
Our silver ninja empire was destroyed by the purple ninjas many years ago.
I am going to challenge them.
If I succeed I will return.
If I fail, never reveal your silver ninja identity.
We can help you master.
No this is my fate and mine alone.
Promise me, you will never forget the ninja commandment.
Good must always win, over evil.
Good must always win, over evil.
Yes Master.
Master.
What is it?
Master.
There is a guy in the South Village called Tony, he is a ninja.
What?
He must be one of Gordon's disciples.
We have to eliminate him.
Ringo said that he will handle it for us.
But he is no match for a ninja, go help him!
Yes Master!
Tomorrow you all will start your training in the outside world.
Keep in mind you must always be a good ninja, understand?
Yes Master.
Now, go practise.
Master.
What is it?
We saw Gordon in the forest, he carries the ninja sword of justice.
Huh, are you sure?
Yes.
I won't kill you.
Go back and tell Donald I'll challenge him.
Don't you know even your beloved student Tony will also die?
And today will be the final end to your empire.
Tomorrow you all will start your training in the outside world.
Keep in mind you must always be a good ninja, understand?
Yes Master!
Now, go practise.
The lyrics to Hexstatic's song Ninja Tune tell the story of a master ninja who is about to embark on a journey to challenge the purple ninjas who destroyed his silver ninja empire. He wants to pass on a gift to his student before he goes and asks for music to be played. The lyrics then delve into the backstory of the silver ninja empire's downfall at the hands of the purple ninjas. The master ninja states that he will challenge the purple ninjas alone and may not return. He implores his students to remember the ninja commandment that good must always triumph over evil.
The lyrics then shift to a scene where the master ninja is confronted by Gordon, who is carrying the ninja sword of justice. The master ninja refuses to fight Gordon and says he will only challenge his student Donald. The song ends with the master ninja again reminding his students to always be good ninjas and to go practice.
The lyrics are inspired by the world of ninjas and martial arts, with the voiceovers taken from the Hong Kong martial arts film, The Ninja Showdown. The song is an energetic blend of hip-hop, trip-hop, and electronic music genres. These genres reflect the fast-paced, action-packed nature of ninja movies and the martial arts philosophy of physical mastery and self-discipline. Hexstatic sampling The Ninja Showdown throughout also adds to the song's martial arts movie feel.

It is a worldwide communication.
(1) The Kishida Cabinet, which continues from President Biden and Shinzo Abe, is in a bad politics with no quitting war and anachronism.
It seems that human beings, who have repeated the history of alternating Western and Eastern civilizations every 800 years, are not even aware that they are now facing the mass extinction of living organisms.
It can only be described as vulgar and incompetent.
My previous life is a new Musashi, but even though I wrote in the Book of Five Rings that I left for posterity, "I know the truth from a big point of view from a multifaceted way of thinking, and I reach a deep state from shallow." Then, it is a body because it has not been read much anymore.
In the future, it will not be possible unless it is an era of coexistence and co-prosperity that respects the spiritual culture of the Orient and makes good use of the material civilization of the West.
Furthermore, the Kishida Cabinet has announced that it will promote nuclear power plants, and that it will drain radioactively contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean next year, but I have to stop them at all costs.
Nikola Tesla has already stated that spiritual phenomena can be explained by science, and former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has said that "environmental energy is the dream, not the nuclear power plant." Furthermore, the world system that uses the earth, the Tesla vacuum tube, etc .... If we do not know that we are in the era of reviewing Nikola Tesla, we cannot do it.
(2) Is the Biden administration going to involve South Korea this time?
I am on the side of Russia, China and North Korea.
It's just because these three countries are more correct.
Many of the Kishida Cabinet and Japanese men have taken them to the United States and are thinking of a peaceful solution.
The United States will take it to the dichotomy of President Biden and President Trump, and will recommend President Trump to Japanese living in the United States.
The Ukrainian bag clearly shows the shadow of the Biden administration.
Although I was a master of military art in my previous life, I ended my life in an unfortunate situation. The previous life was a new Musashiya.
③ It was from the second grade of elementary school that I got into the space and began to suffer with or without it.
However, since the true structure of the Big Bang was elucidated in 2002, it is no longer finite or infinite.
Furthermore, after I understood the meaning of frequent synchronicity around the fall of 2020, it led to the flowering of PSYCHIC, which enabled my transition to a parallel world.
The video is a proof video when three primary colors of color are generated from sunlight, and they are regarded as four-dimensional space-time solidarity together with me, and the reproduction of space is started again.
And, in a certain month when human beings other than me were destroyed, it was the only person who was revived from the particles and waves of light, who lived in Aichi prefecture and was the only person involved in the Kyokushin Kaikan. put.
Kensaku Yamamoto, who was revived on a certain day in May 2003, walked east and crossed it before he returned home at that time, so he is not aware of it. However, it is undeniable that I may have dreamed of the time when I revived him with all my might.
④ Takeshi Kitano said, "If there are aliens, there may be only the spirit," but that is the collective unconscious. Scientifically I can explain it. By the way, I affirm that there are no aliens.
I also know where the center of outer space is.
And when I appeared on the TV program "World Maru View! TV Special Investigation Department", Takeshi Kitano looked at me and said "Allah". "There is no god other than Allah."
⑤ Democratic society and politics of fools, by fools, only for fools BY GODMAN (Goten first-class 634)
The Japanese public has only human-level values and stereotypes. The feeling of loneliness that has always dominated Nikola Tesla is painfully understandable to me. And without a sentence, he is a great man who died at a hotel.
The following is a passage from Dogra Magra by Yumeno Kyusaku.
The psychology of protozoa that is common to other microorganisms appears. It is a movement that seems to live meaninglessly and move around meaninglessly, and is often expressed by so-called crowd psychology, fashion psychology, or rubbernecking psychology. When you pull away each of the moving actions, it seems to be completely meaningless, but when it gathers in large numbers, it causes the same terrifying action as various fungi. It will be. In other words, things that shine, things that are fine, things that are loud, things that are simple in theory, things that are clear in stimulus, new and easy-to-understand things, are swarming toward, but of course, without judgment. , I have no understanding. A lot of people go while being drawn by a lot of people as ecstasy (kokotsu) with the same unawareness and uncertainties as the microorganisms placed under the microscope. There is a meaningless impression, pride and peace of mind, but in the end, I am so absorbed in it that I am lavishly abandoning my life ... riots ... … The state of falling into a revolution, etc., has a view of sperm that concentrates on a drop of malic acid.
For the first time, human psychology approaches the laws of movement change in physics and chemical formulas. In other words, since it comes to the point of being inanimate and skinny, politicians and other popular professions use it in addition to the moldy spill that is the center of such humanity. It doesn't become.
In such a psychology, focusing on the simplest and lowest grades, wrapping them from the outside to the outside with a high-grade complex animal psychology, and wrapping them with so-called human skin. It is the spiritual life of human beings to decorate with ribbons and labels that have social, appearance, personality, and personality, apply makeup, sprinkle perfume, and walk along the road. When we dissect, it is discovered that, as shown on the right, most of the memories of the animal psychology of the ancestors latent in the human body cells are nothing but reproductions. But this is very much like the anatomical observation of the body mentioned earlier, how the fetus wraps such an infinite amount of complex and diverse psychological memories in the subconscious or instinct of its cells. ..
"What made the fetus do so"
Things like that are not explained at all. No, even the fact that the content of one human spirit is the ruins of the evolution of all things in the past hundreds of millions of years is shallow, saying "human beings are primates of all things" or "I am human beings". It is in a state of being hidden by (Asahaka) self-esteem and not being careful at all.
