Zerstorte Zelle seems the type of artist to prefer to lean back from creating an online presence and platform, instead forming an identity purely around the sound he creates and distributes. Zelle’s personal route into the world of electronica involves homemade synth, experimental tracks built up through live recordings, and a dose of the unconventional.

Based in Brooklyn, Zelle has previously shown his talents working with ‘Skyes’, a synth-pop project that released their last indie alternative EP back in 2018. Although Skyes was able to cultivate a creative atmosphere in their discography, pursuing solo work can often lead to a freedom incomparable to that offered in a group.

Whatever the inspiration, Zelle released his debut EP as a solo artist on June 19th. ‘061920’ is a result of DIY music production, created at home with no computer editing involved in the recording process. The EP features five tracks which carry a vibe of minimal electronic and drone, pieced together with a notably experimental method which involved the use of DC motors and Mbira.

Our featured track from 061920 is ‘D_01’, a gradual composition which remains minimalist in its structure, pushing boundaries and escaping genre conventions.
