Hailing from the vibrant city of Billings, USA, J. Michael Kober returns to the Bonzai fold with his latest effort on Bonzai Progressive entitled 'Dusk Heat'. Previously we saw him on our legendary Green Martian imprint with his mesmerizing creation, 'A Brief Infinity'. His musical journey has been one of diligent exploration and mastery of the tools and techniques essential to his craft. The result is a unique sonic fusion of Progressive and Tech, characterized by its profound, enigmatic, and assertive rhythms. His ascent to recognition began when a demo sent to JOOF Recordings caught the discerning ear of John 00 Fleming in early 2010. Impressed by its sonic depth, Fleming featured it as the track of the month on his esteemed radio show before promptly signing it to his label, with the esteemed Magnus enlisted for remix duties. Subsequent releases only served to bolster Kober's reputation, garnering praise from industry luminaries and propelling him into the spotlight. Kober remains deeply invested in nurturing the local electronic music scene, collaborating with promoters and curating diverse events and club nights that showcase an array of electronic styles. A beacon of innovation and talent, poised to leave an indelible mark on the global electronic music landscape with much more to come, no doubt. The Original Mix kicks off the release, opening with muted drums and hypnotic percussive elements. A slow burning bass fades up along with gritty accents that cut through the low frequencies. Trippy arpeggiated sequences twist and contort with extreme modulation before the break reveals a classic chord stab that dominates in the final act. A top-notch slice that will not disappoint. Thorin returns to Bonzai Progressive with an impressive remix. Over the years, Thorin has delivered a plethora of exceptional tracks, leaving an indelible mark on the label's history. Not content with merely crafting his own masterpieces, he has also made significant contributions to the remix catalogue, enriching the Bonzai sound with his unique perspective and skilful touch. His dynamic range and commitment to musical exploration make him a true luminary in the industry, and a cherished member of the Bonzai family. On the remix here, we're treated to one of his masterpieces as the track opens with punchy kick and delicate melody. A deep rolling bassline fades up, bringing forth a pure progressive sound that captivates. Wide, cinematic sounds combine with choir vox and plucky sequences while edgy bass drones ebb and flow. An epic slice that is not to be missed.
