Bonaparte is a musical chameleon whose eclectic mix of electronic beats, punk rock energy, and performance art theatrics has carved out a unique niche in the alternative music scene. The brainchild of Swiss-born musician Tobias Jundt, Bonaparte started as a project in Berlin in the mid-2000s and rapidly developed a reputation for their explosive live performances, complete with elaborate costumes and a rotating lineup of performers. Bonaparte's sound is an amalgamation of various genres, ranging from punk to electronica to indie, with a vibrant undercurrent of socio-political commentary that reflects Jundt's keen observational eye.

Over the years, Bonaparte has released a stream of singles and albums that defy easy categorization, reflecting the project's ever-evolving nature. Some of their more recent releases include "People vs. Money / Fuck Money," a defiant anthem questioning the role of capital in modern society, and "Good Things," which received an energetic reimagining in the form of a Maruwa Remix. "Higher Planes" and its accompanying Lauer Edit show the group's affinity for danceable beats, while tracks like "Astrid & Manolo," with remixes by Paula Tape and Massimiliano Pagliara, showcase a more nuanced approach, blending electronic elements with a sense of intimate storytelling. With "Keine Zukunft" and "1," Bonaparte continues to push boundaries and spark discussions, remaining as unpredictable and thought-provoking as ever. Whether delivering a pulsating live number like "Weinbar (Live in Abidjan)" or challenging listeners with the stripped-down dub mix of "Anti Anti," Bonaparte reaffirms their status as a cultural force that resists being pinned down by any single genre or label.
