Listen to Soulsmack

Zhonk is a brass-fueled bass duo from Austin, Texas, fusing the raw power of live horns with bass-heavy electronic production. With roots in jazz, funk, bass music and glitch hop, the project brings high-voltage energy to every stage—melding live saxophone and trombone with filthy drops, halftime grooves, and experimental sound design. Every Zhonk set is a one-of-a-kind experience, blending original music, remixes, and spontaneous improvisation. Their performances are a celebration of both musical precision and unfiltered joy, aiming to move both the body and the spirit. At its core, Zhonk is about more than just the music. The duo actively promotes a message of positive masculine energy—centered on emotional openness, mutual respect, and authentic self-expression. Through their art and presence, they strive to challenge outdated norms and help foster an inclusive, empowering community within the bass scene and beyond.
