Hanz is a talented beatmaker hailing from Oslo, Norway. With his unique style and creative approach to music production, he has captured the attention of listeners worldwide. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of genres, Hanz crafts mesmerizing beats that are both soulful and captivating.

His sound can be likened to artists such as Stan Forebee, Ben Bada Boom, and Taro, who also excel in creating atmospheric and melodic tracks. Hanz's ability to blend different elements together seamlessly sets him apart from other beatmakers in the industry.

Whether you're looking for laid-back tunes or energetic beats to get you moving, Hanz has something for everyone. His discography includes collaborations with notable performers like Makzo, Middle School, sadtoi, Ezzy, Mo Anando, Monma, illiterate, oddfish, Bao,and Smile High - just to name a few. Each track showcases his versatility as an artist and his dedication to pushing boundaries within the genre.

The key influences for Hanz' upcoming EPs lie outside music - "They are heavily influenced by film. Things like pacing, tension, comic relief, and climactic moments." "Plasty II," following last year's Plasty I, is the second of two recordings that form a kind of mirror shot of each other - you could say one is a frontal shot, while the other a back shot. Both EPs developed in sessions that started right before the re-issue of "Reducer" (on Tri Angle) in 2015."I was watching a lot of films and realized the ones I appreciated the most were shorter in length - films like "Tetsuo, The Iron Man". Over a year or so of working, I decided to trim compositions down and get to the point in underneath twenty minutes per EP. I named this work "Plasty" due to its constant structural changes, it’s as if the sound is being operated on surgically.”He adds - “I like tension and action. I edit my music like a movie, placing pieces of a song inside of other songs. Certain parts / melodies from part one reappear in part two and vice versa. That’s my way of making these EPs compliment each other by making them function like puzzles. The temporary moments on both EPs are for you to get better acquainted with this sonic environment. For example, the track "A Breathing House" is a short vignette on "Plasty I" that is based on the imagery of a house with breathing windows, doors, and floors." Cinematic influences are joined by inspirations from "the Surrealists" and the "cut-up" technique" (of William Burroughs &amp; Brion Gysin). "Plasty" is the sound of an artist evolving and emerging through exploration, it's the sound of an artist breaking free.
