MAGASIN 4 PRESENTS :
AUTHOR & PUNISHER (US) (Industrial / Sludge)
Author & Punisher is a one man band led by Tristan Shone. Utilizing custom fabricated machines, controllers and speakers called Drone Machines, the music draws heavily on aspects of industrial automation, robotics and mechanical tools and devices, focusing on the eroticism of the interaction with machine.
In 2024 A&P celebrated two decades of honing in on his craft - meticulously inventing, machining, experimenting, and creating custom musical instruments for his incredible recordings and live performances, touring the world with artists like TOOL, HEALTH, Pertubator, Neurosis & many others. 2025 will see the release of his eighth full-length album via Relapse Records along with an even greater emphasis and rebirth of the visceral, live ritual.
BONG-RA (NL) (Breakcore)
Monolith sub-frequencies intended to lift the listener to a higher level of consciousness, a state of trance and hypnotism. Bong-Ra mixes Doom Metal, Free-Jazz and Electronics in a completely new unique crossover heavily inspired by ancient and pre-dynastic civilisations. His personal philosophy and research into transcendency and existentialism inspired by the musical works of John Coltrane, the crushing weight of Doom Metal and the open forms of improvised free jazz using these into a completely new genre in itself. Hungarian drummer Balazs Pandi, known for his collaborations with legends such as Merzbow and Keiji Haino accompanies multi-instrumentalist Jason Kohnen in the timeless journey into unknown realms. As one of the pioneers of the electronic harsh subgenre’s Breakcore together with artists like Venetian Snares and DJ Scud, Bong-Ra (v1.0) lead the Breakcore scene for two decades, preaching his manic rhythms across the globe. After twenty years of carnage Jason Kohnen decided to metamorphosize his Bong-Ra alter ego and return to his original roots and passion of Doom. Founding member of the Dutch Doom/Stoner band ‘Celestial Season’ in the early 90’s, he transformed Bong-Ra (v2.0) into a sub based Doom machine.
CKOLLONTAJ (BE) (Industrial / Electronic)
Dystopian transcendent punk.
