Following the footsteps of "Ponisgate", my friend Messerhead and me went down the rabbit hole to get a clue on what a Ponigung might be. Turned out, it's complicated. Surprise surprise! If you're easily disturbed, maybe better check for the Omonius Dub Mix because besides all the nonsense in this tune, it's one of my favorite productions ever! Turn the Poni on!

The Ponigung (Original Pone Mix)

The dub mix of 'The Ponigung' for those who are easily offended and urgently need Omonius.

The Ponigung (Omonius Dub)

Always thought of extending the tech-section from the original. So here we are six years later with the full Fakaard treatment of Goddamnblue. Raw drums, a ravy break, the weird vocal and most importantly: Blas dir einen Knabberspaß!

Goddamnblue (Fakaard Rework)

Back with a fresh wave of uptempo trance, this is the first one that sees the light of day. Had the idea for the melody back in 2020 while working in the lab as some pump was making tonal noise. Wrote it down, but only started putting things together in spring 2021. While this obviously has this spring vibe written all over it, it also captured a lot of the emotions that I went through at that time. Didn't had the final track ready just last year at this season but here we are now. Go outside, take the tune with you and lift your mood! :)

Antagonist (Original Mix)

Started this record 6 years ago. But the thing is, when working on something for too long, the whole reason for it can change. I wasn‘t sure what to do with it but instinctively there was only the option to push it through. Without a doubt, this is the most personal track I‘ve ever made. So many details, covering all facets of feelings. Sounds cliché but I’m wrapping up a good part of past times with it and releasing it let’s me step into the future.

Vanished Moments  (Original Mix)

Back in 2018 I wrote one of my favorite melodies. Back then I felt the need of making the track more complex but over time realised that the early lazy version without the additional chords in the bass had the fresher mood. So here I am five years later with an updated version where the track in general is more simplistic. Kept it for the summer but here it is.

Take A Breath (2023 Flat Mix)

After a few months of silence, I'm starting to release music again with this one. It started out as a bootleg in spring 2022, using a sample saying the title words and for that reason I always had that Ukraine connection for that track. Couldn't really find a way to replace the sample, but then decided to go fully for the UA theme. Thanks to a friend from there I got the sample translated and recorded, which made the release possible. Definitely one of the more unique tracks that I came up with. Deep groovy trance mixed with thick floaty synth lines. I also thought its time for a new cover design and I'm really happy how all of this turned out.

Wanna Be Free (Original Mix)

Lately I shifted my attention again a bit more towards my progressive and experimental Bronzi alias. This one started as the 'outdoor battery challenge' where I went out into the sun and tried producing something (obviously inspired by the surrounding) before the laptop battery dies. It started with the deep synth arp line and I then developed more of a beat around it but decided to keep the stripped down chill out version as the original. So yes, there is also a proper club mix of that track coming later this year... Anyway, this track is about beautiful sunsets which get a soursweet taste if you experience them in the wrong place. Kind of the goodbye track to my IBK times.

Wrong Sunset (Original Mix)

Long summer mixtape, the third one under the Kaktusfest naming. Total spectrum as usual. Some new music, some classics, some IDs from your's truly, all thrown in there. Enjoy the musical journey travelling to your favorite summer spot.

Dancefloor tools for day and night!

Cactus Chasers (Arrival Mix)

Cactus Chasers (Departure Mix)

After the original chill out version of 'Wrong Sunset' earlier this year, here comes the full on club mix. Haven't really produced any Bronzi material  in recent years, but I'm happy with the fresh twist that this one got.

Wrong Sunset (Club Mix)

Got introduced to the song a few years ago during a holiday, loved the melody and decided a bit later to give it a little twist for playing it in sets.

КИНО - Красно-жёлтые дни (Bronzi Edit) [Preview]

Thanks to Messerhead for some very interesting samples!!!

Messerhead - Down Where The River Flows (HelG Remix)

Back in 2015 a good friend of mine teamed up with his brother for a little music production experiment, which resulted in a file with the odd title 'Albi03Master'. I liked the result but thought of giving it a little twist by doing a remix. While trying to recreate the original melody, it started deviating by accident but that new melody was proper goosebumps material. The whole remix then actually did not have much in common anymore with the original, but the track with its melody stayed a bit special to me as it was the first full on 140 uplifting track that I produced. Shame that it had a crappy production with me being only a year into my music production journey. So earlier this year I felt like giving it an upgrade. Turned out a bit more groovy, got a nice deep sub bass and a cheeky acid section for the outro. After showing the new version to my friend, we both came to the conclusion that it deserves a more proper name compared to before. Always associated this track with going out there with that friend and doing some crazy stuff so 'Outbreak' seemed fitting.
Enjoy!

Yearmix 2024

My cheeky take on Helge Schneiders "Klapperstrauß" under my Fakaard guise... 

"Däns tu se musig!"

Helge Schneider - Klapperstrauß (Fakaard Bootleg) [Preview]

The series of cheeky bootlegs continues: The original is a pearl of the internet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srNkGi6XG6U) and that "Technosong" sample was to funny for not using it,  in fact the whole thing is to good for not beeing recycled. So what I did was exactly what Günter & Jupp said: strike the old metal bucket, strike the shoebox, blow on the bottle ... WAHNSINN!!! - And now you´ve got a technosong...!
Enjoy! ;)

Hold On

Hold On (Bronzi 12inch Club Remix) [feat. Mark Bebb]

An epic over 10min long journey through dark progressive soundscapes. This track is probably the best definition of my Bronzi sound - dark melodies but a warm tone, always evolving.

Free Download!

Recidivist (Original Mix)

I've reworked two classics from my back catalogue under my Fakaard alias, which means raw tech energy!
Part 1 is "The Virgin Cake". The idea came from a spontanuous mashup, I've done while mixing the original with Key4050's Gianfranco. At that time there wasn't any hope that the last mentioned track would ever get a release, so I thought of doing my own techy version. Just banging drums and that weird but somehow catchy melody. And oh boi did this turn out ravy, it doesn't get any more Fakaard!

The Virgin Cake (Fakaard ReBake)

Progressive, Tech- & Uplifting Trance.
... or is that even trance?
Driven, techy productions under my "Fakaard" alias, "Bronzi" for Progressive House, Techno & everything in between.
Overall just authentic electronic music.
