Oakland-raised and Brooklyn-based future dance producer RZN8R is set to make waves in the electronic music world with the release of his highly anticipated cover album, “MISTR.” This album is a landmark in RZN8R’s career, marking his first full-length project to prominently showcase his classically trained countertenor vocals and serving as a deeply personal artistic statement.
Released exactly one year after his engagement, “MISTR” is more than just a collection of covers. RZN8R playfully subverts expectations by taking well-known love songs originally written by men and transforming them into exhilarating dance anthems. Through this unique approach, he breathes new life into familiar melodies, infusing them with his signature forward-thinking sound and energetic style.
“MISTR” is a genre-defying dance project that weaves together a vibrant tapestry of musical influences. Listeners will hear elements of afro-beats, stutter house, amapiano, bass music, gospel, and baile funk. This blend promises a truly unique and exciting sonic experience that stands out in today’s music landscape.
For the first time in a full-length release, RZN8R’s choirboy-honed, classically trained countertenor vocals take centre stage. His powerful and beautiful voice, rarely heard in electronic dance music, adds an unexpected and compelling dimension to the album. This bold step forward highlights RZN8R’s dedication to pushing boundaries and redefining what’s possible in dance music.
Adding an intimate layer to “MISTR” is the involvement of RZN8R’s constant collaborator and “Best Woman” at his wedding, Kaeli Earle. Earle assisted with vocal production, helping to enhance both the emotional depth and the sonic richness of the album. Their creative synergy is evident throughout, giving the project a heartfelt and personal touch.
RZN8R’s creative process draws inspiration from a wide range of influential artists, including Kaytranada’s smooth grooves, Fred Again..’s emotive energy, Hamdi’s bass-heavy rhythms, and Aluna’s innovative soundscapes. The album is also deeply rooted in the vibrant energy of Brooklyn’s underground dance scene, shaped by countless nights spent at Bushwick warehouse parties. This blend of influences results in a fresh, forward-thinking sound that is uniquely RZN8R.
The album is a celebration of love, creativity, and the power of music to bring people together on the dance floor.
