about

DS004

Death In The Cities is from Hamburg based artist Bonzaii. Tarkovsky's film Solaris was a leading source of inspiration for the EP. The five bass-heavy tracks exhibit a climactic quality that creates lucid imagery of an affirmed and undeniable collapse.

'All the tracks combine field recordings and samples from my time in the studio, plus sounds gathered over the years, touring with bands and travelling. The EP doesn't feature a single synthesiser, either analogue or digital. I get the most exciting results sampling my recorded sounds and manipulating them into unique melodic instruments. Using these recordings creates a strong emotional attachment to the sounds and enables a fast workflow that I enjoy.'

-

'The five tracks that make up Death In The Cities show the full potential of a visceral sound, capable of creating an alienating effect thanks to the desolating sci-fi settings of the EP. A science fiction narrative, an EP that manages to transcend the limits of the genre by creating a bridge between Bonzaii's mind and the outside world.' MARIO ARIANO, RADIOAKTIV

'“Eyes in the Water” is a slow, viscous ocean of forcibly dislodged existences; the title track a whirling pulsar sucking psyches into a gnashing void. Both are disquieting, distinctly cognitive experiences, once again chiming perfectly with the artist’s vision.' STEVE DEWHURST, UNDERSCORE MUSIC MAGAZINE

'You'd be hard-pressed to uncover the origin of the sounds, but the imaginative power of the music is so strong, the urge to analyse it soon fades completely. The music consumes you and takes you on a wonderful, cosmic journey. Every spin leads to a new trip, with new fantasies. While the music doesn't answer any questions, it most certainly delivers a most memorable listening experience..' GERT DERKX, OPDUVEL
