Kozmoz Unleashes THE BACKROOMS EXPERIENCE

Brace yourselves, bassheads. Kozmoz is dragging us straight into THE BACKROOMS EXPERIENCE—and trust us, it’s not your average bass drop dungeon. This audio-visual monster has been two years in the making. Every kick, snare, glitch, and growl was crafted by Kozmoz himself. But wait—he didn’t stop there. He animated the entire visual experience too.

This madman pulled a full one-man studio move, designing every surreal, VHS-drenched frame by hand while producing a lineup of face-melting bass tracks. It’s aggressive, immersive and absolutely unhinged in the best way possible. In his own words,

I’ve been working on this Backrooms audio-visual project for 2 years now. It’s been full of moments where I was ready to quit. So many ups and downs. Self-doubt. Burnout. But I kept going.

This project means the world to me. Every second of audio, every single visual—I made myself. No team. No shortcuts. Just a guy with a laptop

I can’t wait for you to experience the world I built and feel what I’ve felt while making it. This is more than just a project. It’s everything I’ve carried, everything I’ve built.”

THE BACKROOMS EXPERIENCE is made for fans of artists like Ray Volpe, Space Laces, and Svdden Death. It’s got basslines that’ll hit harder than your caffeine buzz and cinematic storytelling that pulls you deep into a twisted, digital world. Expect aggressive synths, hard-hitting drops, and a wild fusion of melodic elements and gut-wrenching sound design. Kozmoz teased THE BACKROOMS EXPERIENCE on Instagram with a cryptic post “>> status: UNSTABLE // source: LOST_ARCHIVE-014” —yep, that’s his vibe. If you’ve ever wondered what a haunted arcade rave sounds like, this is your answer. The music is intense, glitchy, and absolutely explosive.

These tracks have already caused massive reactions at recent shows; But THE BACKROOMS EXPERIENCE isn’t just something you hear—it’s something you feel. From the mind-bending visuals to the raw, pulsating energy of the soundscapes, this project drags you into a world where reality glitches and the synths are aggressive. Stay plugged in and follow Kozmoz on his socials below for the latest updates on his music and upcoming releases. This is just the beginning, and trust us, you’ll want to be there every step of the way.
