Rinzen is a Los Angeles-based producer & DJ whose melodic, cinematic soundscapes evoke futuristic worlds and far-away planets. His 2024 debut album ‘Bend the The Light’ was released on Lane 8’s This Never Happened label and soundtracks a near-future, high-tech world. The LP has received early support from Mixmag, DJ Mag, Billboard, SiriusXM, KCRW, Dancing Astronaut and more.

Rinzen aka Michael Sundius began honing his innate gift for storytelling as a respected music journalist. He kick-started his artist career in 2017 when he was signed by deadmau5 to the Canadian’s renowned electronic imprint, mau5trap, which became his home for 3 consecutive EPs. 

Following this success, Rinzen soon found himself on tour with deadmau5 himself, performing over 20 dates with Zimmerman across the world, from Verti Music Hall in Berlin, to Fabrik in Madrid, to Printworks in London.

Firmly cemented as a talent on the rise, Rinzen’s music next found a home on an impressive pedigree of international labels: everywhere from John Digweed’s legendary Bedrock label, to Sasha’s Last Night on Earth imprint and Rufus Du Sol’s Rose Ave. With his music being played by global titans like Tale Of Us and Carl Cox, Rinzen was soon appearing at shows including EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, and Lightning in a Bottle.

Having made a name for himself across the underground and wider dance scene alike, 2024 sees Rinzen release his debut album: ‘Bend to the Light’. The 10-track LP offers his most comprehensive body of work to date, as well as one of the marquee releases on Lane 8’s This Never Happened imprint. The label stands at the cusp of the burgeoning melodic house movement, with Rinzen poised as the imprint’s breakout new star.

With his ground-breaking album and a world tour, Rinzen is creating, and conquering, new worlds.
