SUMMARY:mark william lewis – Tony Bontana
DESCRIPTION:Dreamy, introspective indie blending ambient textures with raw emotional depth\n“The London singer-songwriter’s latest album is full of imagistic lyrics, foggy atmospheres, and moodily unconventional pop.”\nPitchfork\nMark William Lewis is an artist that exists between the cracks. He eschews easy genre categorisation, plays with the traditional conventions of a songwriter, and creates music that is poetically sharp, visually vivid, yet texturally opaque. Writing songs that explore the intersection between intimacy and alienation, connection and disconnection, he is a singular and bold voice operating in a distinctly unique yet blurry space.\nHis recent track ‘Tomorrow is Perfect’ is the first release via A24 Music, a song that feels like the purest embodiment of him as a complete artist to date, blurring the boundaries of imagery, music and words pushed to the forefront.\nLewis has received praise from Pitchfork and The Fader for his previous releases Sparkles 22-24 and Living, as well as featuring on NYC rap figurehead MIKE’s “Let’s Have A Ball” and collaborating with Bar Italia’s Nina Crisante on the song “Thinner”.\nOver the past few years, Lewis has become a fixture in more innovative spaces of London’s live music scene, with his performances and music becoming a word-of-mouth success. This led to sold out US debut shows at Elsewhere and Public Records (NYC) and The Echo (LA) last year and a full headline show at a sold-out ICA earlier this year. He has previously released music via Scenic Route, with the vinyl release of joint EP ‘God Complex/Pleasure Is Everything’ selling out in under 24 hours.\nTony Bontana, a Birmingham based rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, is a trailblazer in the UK’s experimental hip-hop landscape, renowned for his self-coined “Splayed” style—a distinctive blend of degraded, manipulated samples, non-linear rhythms, and deeply introspective lyricism, released through his independent label, Everything is Perfect Records.\nHis extensive discography, including emotionally charged works like L’Humanité (a tribute to his late mother), the mellow, left-field mixtape TUMPIT (2025), and collaborative projects such as The Beautiful Malaise (2025) with Psychedelic Ensemble, fuses abstract hip-hop, post-hardcore, indie rock, punk and soul influences, showcasing his genre-defying versatility.\nBontana’s production credits include work with prominent underground artists like Novelist, PREM, Lil B, Billy Woods, Jadasea, Goya Gumbani, Mary Sue and Cities Aviv, while his raw, evocative live performances have captivated audiences, notably as a supporting act for Nourished by Time’s 2024 UK tour with upcoming performances on their 2025 European tour, including Malmo (November 7, 2025) and Glasgow (November 24, 2025).\nTony is also a DJ with eclectic taste, showcased on various radio platforms. He delivers weekly sets on Birmingham Sounds Radio blending abstract hip-hop, Funk, Soul, and Electronic music. He has also appeared on NTS Radio with genre-spanning guest mixes of obscure soul, electronic, and experimental sounds, including on The Do!! You!!! Breakfast Show with Charlie Bones. Further radio features include BBC Radio 1 , Loose FM and Balamii, where his unpredictable sets, ranging from jazz to distorted rap to indie rock, reflect his “Splayed” philosophy of transforming the familiar.\nHis innovative sound and creative philosophy have earned critical acclaim from publications like Pitchfork, which lauded TUMPIT’s imaginative qualities, The Wire, which explored his “Splayed” ethos in a 2022 interview, as well as Afropunk, Cvltnation , Altpress and BABMAG, solidifying his undeniable growing influence in the global underground music scene.\n
