Burgeoning techno duo Bonsai ring in 2021 with Rule of Two, a highly-anticipated 3-track EP on Steyoyoke that features atmospherically driving production elements from start-to-finish.The latest entrancing endeavor to come from the pair directly follows their hard-hitting remix of Galestianâs âWorlds Apartâ, released in mid-September of last year, as well as their acclaimed 3-track âEvent Horizonâ EP from the month prior. Out now on venerated Berlin-based imprint Steyoyoke Recordings, the Rule of Two EP is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.
âForward Unto Darknessâ kicks off the EP with contemplatively brooding, elongated soundscapes. Repetitively stabbing synths, a propulsive rhythm, and infectious beat maintain the energy throughout with ease, and characterize much of the rest of this sonically enticing techno tour de force.
Listen to the exclusive premiere of Bonsai ‘Forward Unto Darkness’ on Steyoyoke:
The titular track, âRule of Twoâ, takes the reins next, and carries with it much of the same high-octane sensibilities. A rising tension is introduced in the first half, and takes its time to settle with the listener before unleashing forcibly with a four-on-the-floor ambiance.
Lastly, âAncient Homeâ rounds out the offering with a rapturous finale, evoking a palpable intensity throughout its entire duration. A melodiously flowing beat is paired flawlessly with the overall propelling tone, in turn crafting a rich juxtaposed mixture that doesnât let up. In all, the 3-track EP is yet another stellar techno masterpiece from Bonsai.
