Bonezy has been involved in music and audio engineering since his teenage years and has worked behind the scenes on releases from Tornts, Bigfoot, Gaz Hazard, 2023’s Kill Squad record featuring Overproof Pete, Bigfoot, Heata and Wallzee and numerous metal and genre albums.

Between it all we talk growing up, soundtracks and scores to movies, the influence and songs of Bias B, HG and 750, various albums, shows, how audio works and impacts the listener as well as getting into some of the music we can’t stand.

This is a great episode that gets into the nitty-gritty of sound and its interpretation by the listener, thanks to Bonezy 2 Bladez for breaking it all down and this entertaining conversation.
