RZN8R (pronounced "resonator") is the moniker of Oakland-raised, Brooklyn-based producer and singer Derek Buckwalter. His debut album CLOSING THE GOLDEN GATE is a collection of future soul tracks with influences of Motown, boom bap hip hop, dance pop, and jazz. A heartfelt and personal piece of work, the album is about RZN8R's departure from the San Francisco Bay Area after 27 years to move to Brooklyn. RZN8R draws from a wide array of influences, fusing his passions for singing, beats, and new thought spirituality to craft lush, deep, and hypnotic grooves. With a sound will make you go "oooh," SF Weekly says RZN8R's music "leaves the listener feeling invigorated and inspired," while DoTheBay says, "the expressive electronic beats and hair-raising synths pulsing from RZN8R strike a spiritual nerve."
