Fractal grooves, fuzzy synths and a bass that hits you right in the feels: Bonsai’s music has its roots burrowed firmly in sample-based music’s rich lineage. The magic behind Thomas Reining’s project lies in creating something organic from disparate musical sources – serving the directive to merge distinct worlds and defy expectations of what a concert and a club experience could be. 

On stage Bonsai is a pure feast, with Reining’s noodling-with-keys-and-knobs seeking synergy and courtship with its dynamite rhythm section. Indeed, a Bonsai performance tends to unlock both body and spirit in the strangest, most revitalising ways.
