The Null Club: Tracks That Shaped Our Sound

There’s something deliciously slippery about The Null Club. They operate in the negative space—half digital glitch, half late-night confession—building a world where distortion feels like truth and ambience hits harder than any chorus. In person, they’re exactly the kind of band you hope they’d be: sharp, self-aware, deeply nerdy about sound, and constantly pushing against the idea of what a “scene” is supposed to look like.

In our conversation, they unpacked the accidents that became signatures, the philosophies lurking under their noise, and the strange, beautiful logic behind their sonic universe. And because nothing explains a band better than the music that haunts them, we ended by asking The Null Club to walk us through the tracks that shaped their sound.

Fall Back – Factory Floor

I’ve only seen Factor Floor live once but it may have been one of the most important shows I’ve ever been to. It left a huge impression on me. As a band they seem to cover all the aspects of music that I love. I find that I am constantly inspired by them, and the repetitive synth line here definitely inspired Overgrown. 

Punk Weight – Death Grips

It’s the big blown out tom sound on this. I love that sound so much, and they execute it so perfectly on this track. The 909 with a load of distortion does a similar type of thing, so I just leaned into that. 

Watussi – Harmonia

I don’t think Overgrown sounds anything like this track tbh, but I really love this one. I love how artists from this genre were comfortable to just stay on the same rhythm or idea for a very long time. I think that idea in general had a huge impact on me. I kind of love music that doesn’t change much and just brings some elements in and out 

It Doesn’t Matter – The Chemical Brothers

The Chemical Brothers were a big influence on me in my early 20s. I remember the first time I heard this track I was really blown away by how intense the kick drum was and how horrible the hit hat was in this. I haven’t actually listened to this song in a long time, but it left a real lasting impression.
