Smigonaut is the musical project of producer & DJ, Joshua Kipersztok. Characterized by his signature combination of bass-driven electronic music with the smooth finesse of jazz and hip-hop, his output ranging from introspective downtempo and trip hop beats, to fiery drum & bass, breakbeats and dubstep, all tied together with his signature touch.

From 2014 to 2020 he released several EPs and singles, catching the attention of discerning audiences across the northeastern region of the U.S., and was nominated for Dance/Electronic Artist of the Year at the 2020 Boston Music Awards. Since that time, Josh has relocated to Los Angeles and released a number of new works, both independently and with The Rust Music, including his debut album Antithesis (2022), which has seen a sold-out vinyl release and more than 1.5 million digital streams to-date.

Now he returns in 2025 with his latest independent work, a sophomore album titled Epitome, which falls on the chiller side of his consistently growing catalog. Boasting twelve tracks with featured artists including pheel., Drewidd, ZONE Drums, & his own duo project with David Westbom, GUNK, Epitome takes us deeper into the sonic world of Smigonaut, expanding on and further developing his musical lore.

and it rained...
ran away like i do
and it rained
she ran away anyway
fell away from you
and it rained
fell away fell away
found a way to you
and it rained 
she ran away anyway
found a way
fell away from you

and it rained...

pace run panic stay dig panic pray

im just surviving
carved by a stream
canyons between us
i can't fucking eat
you wouldn't survive it
no heavy machines
no axe to cut through it
they're under debris
it couldn't have happened
we couldn't believe
it wouldn't have happened 
but you had to leave
we're not immune to it
we're not immune to it
we're not immune to it
we're not getting through it

Night Chase

Dark and cinematic, Night Crawler is a bass-heavy dubstep track with hip-hop 808 influence — perfect for spooky season. Built around eerie atmospheres, a creature-like buildup, and a bone-rattling drop with a chilling scream, it feels like stepping into a fight with something lurking in the dark.
