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.
Lies
Hunter/Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The philosophy of modern man is leaking fast
No foundation for the fram by which you set your mind
Just a legacy for the feeble to find
Desperation breeding faith unto a pitiful lie
"Give us your money and we'll open up your gullible eyes"
No redemption, not a reason, but a symbol of why
[Chorus]
Believe the sacred blasphemy
They feed
That hollow voice inside your head
Receive the fleeting fallacy
They breathe
Trace every step from where you were led
Look back and tell yourself what they said
(Now flee)
And now you feel it pulling you down
How can you buy into a faith that hasn't permanent ground?
Give me blood-soacked, sacrificial worth
Not the artificial product of a fraudulent birth
Give me selfless, consecrated reprise
Not a worthless contribution to the science of lies
[Chorus]
Feel it pulling down
[Chorus]
The song "Lies" by Hunter/Game is a commentary on the modern philosophy of man, which emphasizes the importance of money and material possessions over anything else. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the lyrics describe how this philosophy has no real foundation, and is merely a legacy for the weak-minded to cling to. The second verse goes on to describe the desperation that can lead people to blindly follow these kinds of beliefs, and how they are often exploited by those who seek to profit from their ignorance. The final verse presents a counterpoint to this, arguing that true worth comes not from material possessions, but from selfless and consecrated actions that benefit others.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that these kinds of beliefs are ultimately harmful, and that they will only lead people further down a path of self-destruction. The line "believe the sacred blasphemy" is particularly powerful, as it suggests that those who follow these kinds of beliefs are not only misguided, but actively working against their own best interests. The song ends with a final plea to reject these false beliefs and embrace a more meaningful and fulfilling way of life.

Bow down- before the god of cash
Acknowledge money, the reigning deity of modern society
The philosophy of modern man is leaking fast
The belief system of modern man is crumbling
No foundation for the fram by which you set your mind
There is no solid basis for the ideas by which you guide your life
Just a legacy for the feeble to find
Only a weak inheritance for future generations to inherit
Desperation breeding faith unto a pitiful lie
Extreme need leading to blind belief in falsehood
"Give us your money and we'll open up your gullible eyes"
Surrender your wealth to us and we'll make you believe our lies
No redemption, not a reason, but a symbol of why
There is no salvation or justification, but only a representation of the cause
This digression of surrender is the science of lies
This retreat from critical thinking is the foundation of deception
"Believe the sacred blasphemy"
Have faith in the profane sacrilege
They feed
They nourish your false beliefs
That hollow voice inside your head
The empty voice in your mind that echoes lies

Accept the fleeting falsehood
Trace every step from where you were led
Examine closely every path taken that led you here
Look back and tell yourself what they said
Reflect on what they taught you
(Now flee)
(Now run away from it all)
And now you feel it pulling you down
The weight of deception is dragging you down
How can you buy into a faith that hasn't permanent ground?
Why believe something that has no stable basis?
Give me blood-soacked, sacrificial worth
Give me something with true, meaningful sacrifice
Not the artificial product of a fraudulent birth
Not something fake born from deception
Give me selfless, consecrated reprise
Give me something selfless, with deep spiritual significance
Not a worthless contribution to the science of lies
Not a meaningless contribution to the art of deception
"Feel it pulling down"
Experience the downward force of deceit
"Believe the sacred blasphemy"
Have faith in the profane sacrilege
They breathe
They inspire your false beliefs
"Receive the fleeting fallacy"
Accept the fleeting falsehood
Trace every step from where you were led
Examine closely every path taken that led you here
Look back and tell yourself what they said
Reflect on what they taught you
