Goem

**Goem** is a boundary-pushing electronic project rooted in the Netherlands' experimental music underground. Active since the early 2000s, they’re known for crafting gritty, hypnotic soundscapes that blend industrial rhythms, distorted textures, and avant-garde noise. Part of the Lee Douglas collective—a hub for Dutch experimental artists—Goem’s work often feels like a cryptic transmission from a post-industrial wasteland, with releases like *아리랑 - 1st Goem Album* nodding to cross-cultural sampling (the title references a Korean folk anthem). Their discography, including raw EPs like *Trenkel* or the remastered *Dertig CM*, thrives on lo-fi grit and tactile physical formats, with tracks often named after cassette tape measurements (see *8 Centimeter*). While shrouded in mystery, Goem’s output remains a cult favorite for fans of unpolished, confrontational electronics.
