THE
ARCHITECT
THE ORIGIN
It began in a theater. Not on a dance floor, but in the wings of an industry-level theater where Zack Bissell spent years directing bodies in space, understanding how light and sound could manipulate emotion with surgical precision.
But the script was too rigid. The curtain call was too predictable.
He traded the proscenium arch for the DJ booth, bringing that same director's eye to the chaos of the club. This wasn't just mixing tracks; it was SCENE CONSTRUCTION.
"Brutalism isn't a style. It's a refusal. A refusal to soften, to decorate for the sake of approval."
Lab Obsidian was founded in 2024 as a container for these experiments. A place where high-concept art meets the gutter-level grit of Brooklyn nightlife. Where a mix isn't just a playlist, but a classified document from a night that may or may not have happened.
Today, Zack operates at the intersection of sonic architecture and narrative design. He doesn't just play music. He builds worlds, invites you in, and then locks the door.
