It started in 2010 with the "Just This" parties. Hunter/Game's own party, held in secret locations round the city, Just This has made Milan a compulsory stop for the touring electronic artist - from early shows that focused on local acts like Mind Against and Tale Of Us, growing to far bigger events with names like Dixon, Seth Troxler, Koze, Tennis and other DJs in Hunter/Game's worldwide scene. And alongside the parties, the duo have released on Innervisions, Rumours, Last Night on Earth, My Favourite Robot, Hot Creations and Dynamic - with a Kompakt release in early 2015 - and each EP has earned more fans for their lush, deep-grooved analogue soundscapes.
In 2015, alongside a heavy Europe and North American touring schedule, Hunter/Game will open the doors of the new Just This vinyl label. Distributed by Kompakt, the label opens with the leftfield electronic dance stylings of Danish-Icelandic band Primal, a Hunter/Game release, and another to come within five months. With a stylistic approach that leans toward Hunter/Game's own, Just This releases are aimed at the discerning dancefloor, but are as influenced by the wild ambition of 80s electronic acts as by contemporary analogue production techniques.

Hunter/Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These demons they came for my head
I battled depression
And came out ahead
I count up my blessing instead
I went through hell and some dirt
My vision
It never reverse
But his best ain't enough to put me in a hearse
2018
Mentally tiring
Needed rewiring
Went through the fire
And end up acquiring
Thoughts of enlightenment
Through my environment
Suicide on my mind
So violent
Almost died
I'm not bragging
I'm crying, Man
You and I
Both alike
We requiring
A peace of mind
Keep a piece on my side
Never know when to fire it
Ignite the sirens
Spark up the violence
I been too silent
For way too many years
Way too many fears
This gon' be our year
Hunter a tyrant
Kick down the walls
All my demons retiring
God is my source
And the Bible my sword
Keep a clip on my hip
If there ever a war
I'mma rage
Til' the floor come undone
And you crush as I'm smiling
Lately, I been on the ledge
These demons they came for my head
I battled depression
And came out ahead
I count up my blessing instead
I went through hell and some dirt
My vision
It never reverse
The devil was given his worse
But his best ain't enough to put me in a hearse
Uh, New year
Same me
New shoes
White tee
Same girl
Wifey
I've had enough of hypebeast
I've had enough of IV's
Hunter D
So clean
I'm 'bout 6 foot 3
Your man 5 foot 3
Gimme 5, 4, 3
2, 1
Twenty One
This month on the two one
Turn two two
God bless ya
I'm the best, Yuh
Toe to toe with vets
Think you might need a vest
To protect your own chest
Making moves like it's chess
I'mma make you upset
When they call me the best
Lately, I been on the ledge
These demons they came for my head
I battled depression
And came out ahead
I count up my blessing instead
I went through hell and some dirt
My vision
It never reverse
The devil was given his worse
But his best ain't enough to put me in a hearse
I was running from my pain
And all my demons
They was hunting
I was troubled by my thinking
Jesus saved me
Gave me purpose and a reason
Now my music saving kids
From the deep end
The lyrics of "Origins" by Hunter/Game offer a deep and introspective look into the artist's personal journey and struggle with depression. The opening lines, "Lately, I been on the ledge / These demons they came for my head," indicate the artist feeling at their lowest point, emotionally and mentally.
The following line, "I battled depression / And came out ahead," highlights the artist's resilience and strength in facing their inner demons. It shows that despite their struggles, they were able to overcome depression and find a way forward. Instead of dwelling on the negative, they choose to "count up [their] blessing instead," emphasizing a shift in perspective and gratitude for what they have.
The reference to going through "hell and some dirt" further emphasizes the artist's difficult journey. They state that their vision is unwavering and never reverses, suggesting a strong sense of determination and clarity that helped them navigate their darkest moments. The line about the devil being given his worst but it not being enough to put them in a hearse signifies their stubborn refusal to be defeated by the challenges they faced.
The second paragraph delves deeper into the artist's state of mind and the intensity of their struggles. They speak of the mental exhaustion they experienced in 2018, the need for rewiring their thoughts, and going through the metaphorical fire. The mention of suicide on their mind reveals the depths of their pain and desperation.
They express their vulnerability by stating, "Almost died / I'm not bragging / I'm crying, Man." This highlights the emotional turmoil they endured and emphasizes that their strength is not a boastful display but a genuine expression of the overwhelming emotions they went through. The artist also acknowledges their own faults and similarities with others who require peace of mind and protection, symbolized by keeping "a piece on [their] side."
The third paragraph takes a more boastful and confident tone. It speaks of the artist's self-assuredness in the new year, declaring "New year, same me" and expressing disdain for hype and materialism. They mention their own height as a symbol of their self-worth and confidence, contrasting themselves with others. The references to numbers and numerology indicate a belief in personal significance and divine blessings.
The line about being the best and going toe to toe with veterans can be interpreted as the artist's determination to prove themselves in the music industry. They suggest that their success might evoke jealousy or anger in others. The lyrics imply a drive to make a mark and establish their superiority.
The final paragraph brings the focus back to the artist's transformation and newfound purpose. They admit to running from their pain and being haunted by their demons but emphasize that Jesus saved them and gave them a sense of purpose. Their music is now portrayed as a means to help others who might be struggling, saving them from the depths of their own despair.
Overall, "Origins" showcases the artist's personal growth, resilience, and a newfound sense of purpose as they navigate their battle with depression and turn their pain into something meaningful and impactful.
