Soma
Listen to “I Feel You” (XPOE002)
Zack B, or Soma to Xposure fans, is best known as Sz0n1ck, this moniker is a amalgamation of the word ‘sonic’ using Zack B’s own Christian name and the 0’s and 1’s that form the primary building blocks of his beloved digital audio. He holds a unique place in the intersection of Drum & Bass music, signature sound design and custom software development (yes, we thought that sounded well posh too).
Soma is his brand new and amazing alias whose debut D&B dancefloor destroyer has been snapped up by DJ XO for Xposure. The majority of Sz0n1ck’s diverse work is released through his own Freestyle Recordings imprint and Zack also heads ‘FSR Audio Development’ an influential audio software sub-imprint, with high profile users such as Maldini, Optiv and Spor. He also tells us; “I’m an operative in the Church of the Sub-genius Organization… we basically make undercurrents in all forms of media to hypnotize unsuspecting hipsters to do our bidding. All manner of girls in cat’s eye glasses have been hypnotized for the sexual pleasure of the Sub-genius!” To which we replied “Pics or STFU!”
Besides his outstanding work as a sound designer and software engineer, Zack is a self confessed espresso addict with a penchant for spicy food. He has three ‘studio’ cats called Pebbles, Picasso and Miho… it is not clear what their role is, perhaps they help with mixdowns using their superior hearing, or perhaps they sit there like lazy sods as cats often do! We are also under the impression he has been known to abandon his studio duties to go trekking in the wilderness with hippies… nice.
