Kenneth G – Bonzai [Mainstage Music]

Kenneth G has been one of the most reliable names in the big-room house field. The Dutchman has releases on just about every major label, and now makes a return to W&W‘s Mainstage Music label with “Bonzai”. This track is a big-room thoroughbred, and that is something that has grown to be Kenneth G‘s specialty. He crafts a highly energetic melody that starts off as just a simple pluck synth. That melody then goes to an even higher energy level, as the sound comes together into a thick set of chords made out of a full-bodied synth. A bit of percussion is added, and then the synth is changed again into an even louder sound. A vocal sample typically reserved for right before the drop instead signals the beginning of the buildup, but expect to hear it again. After a few quick seconds, that vocal sample plays again but this time to trigger the drop. “Bonzai” comes in hot with a screaming synth choice, on top of a bassline that is the perfect hybrid of Melbourne bounce and pure big-room. This track from Kenneth G is an essential for festival season, so be sure “Bonzai” makes it onto your party playlists.
