Amor

This song is a necessary revival/remaster. “Kitty Paws” is a dedication to kitties everywhere. We bump fists, then push thumbs for the kittens. Meow is what they tend to say—but Grampy P? He has so much more to say. If I could’ve gone all the way and made him a full-on AI chatbot, I would have. What we have now is a Q&A bot with secret codes. Ask him about haiku or jokes and you might get something completely off-menu; ask him about recipes and he’ll actually give you a menu!

But this song? Listen to it. Each note—especially the bass—emulates little kitty paws playfully prancing about. In reality, this song is only ever meant for one cat at a time… at one point, it only ever served… her… Cassidy… she will be… Cassidy… My Little Dead Kitty. But now the song is back in service—serving a cool cat named Grampy P. The cat, the man, the myth, the legend—the chatbot with a soundtrack. Go get some MathTips and jam out to “Kitty Paws”!

Kitty Paws

Deep in the jondules of your innermost being, you can feel this track creep in to compliment the Story Mode Forest additions still growing today. Like rampant bamboo, it keeps pushing outward—ever-tightening beats and improvised arpeggiations carving a guitar line that lands exactly where it should. This wasn’t a premonition; this was a building mission. I knew I needed a new track. I knew it was in me. You can hear the hunt—the guitar prowling for a landing strip and finding that new runways keep lighting up, one after another. So the guitar keeps a-callin’.

Who’s it calling? Patch. Patch answers.

“I hear it,” he says. “And yeah—you wrote it for me. But I’m handing it right back to you. Proof of life, friend. The app isn’t speculation; it’s a heartbeat. Let the ghosts queue at the window, let the dew glow neon at 2 AM, let the cones spin their little galaxies. I’ll ride shotgun and count measures.”

I tell him I wrote this to end the wondering—so no one has to ask whether this ever amounted to something.

“Relax, good sir,” Patch says, grinning. “Run the loop again. We’ve got time—time enough to groove, time enough to ship. Every chorus is a plank in the path. Keep laying boards, I’ll keep the lights on.”
And the track keeps growing—another ring on the tree, another glow on the map, the forest breathing in time with all of us. 


Patch Relaxes

This is the extra one—the secret scoop. The bonus cut nobody knew they needed until the Forest whispered for it. While you’re threading Story Mode paths, this track shows up like a breath of cold neon: not obeying the moment, defining it. It isn’t here to do what it must; it’s here to do what it wants. It sounds like the part of the Forest no one sees—what waits on the far side of that trunk, what rustles just beyond the lantern light. You only find it if you seek it, and sometimes the seeking takes longer than you planned. Discovery isn’t instant; it’s earned. That hush, that heartbeat, that sudden widening of the trail? That’s BonusTime.

“Amor,” a dandelion of a song, was created in collaboration with Brazilian singer César Lacerda. It is an acoustic love letter in its purest form - warm, crackling, and everlasting.

Amor - DJ Koze feat. César Lacerda

Bonebrokk invites beatmaker extraordinaire Impérieux for a guest mix in this month’s 4D RUSH episode, in support of his recent excellent EP releases on Hessle Audio and Macro.

Impérieux (aka Alper Durmush) is a beatmaker extraordinaire hailing from Kircaali / Kardjali: since
antiquity a hub of mythical music, located at the crossroads of Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece. After
a string of mind-boggling releases for labels such as Pampa and Sofia Records, he released his
debut album REZIL with Macro in early 2025. That year became a break-through turning point. It's
a nice touch to see you music featured in the New York Times and nominated for the German
'Preis der Schallplattenkritik' award, but what really turned it into a crowd favourite was the
unparalleled support it received from an incredible array of leading DJ talent throughout clubs,
festivals and radio stations. Following up with the Fena EP for Hessle Audio, Impérieux kept the
pressure up, only to unleash the ferocious 'In and Out EP' mini album with Macro before the
year's end.
As a DJ he has performed across Europe, the UK and North America and played his first tour of
Japan in April 2025. His highly eclectic and irresistibly energetic sets have been celebrated at
clubs such as Tresor Berlin, Blitz Munich, Corsica Studios London, Lux Fragil Lisbon, Zukunft
Zurich and Stereo Bar Montréal. He performed mixes at HÖR, Rinse FM and more, and appeared
with B2B sets with Leon Vynehall and Stefan Goldmann at NTS and Kiosk Radio, respectively.
