2020k is a Queer Pop and Experimental Electronic project solely headed by artist RJ Kozain, who was raised and currently resides in the Pittsburgh, PA area. 2016’s “Burst Mode” is the debut album from 2020k and was almost exclusively written, produced, engineered, and released (via a self-started independent label imprint, 2020k LLC) by Kozain himself and was re-released in a digital deluxe format on Bandcamp in December 2019. The record addresses various subjects with its music and visual presentations on how humanity interacts with technology in the 21st century, as well as explores themes of anxiety, love, politics, queer art, and sexuality. "Burst Mode (Digital Deluxe)" comes after a long recovery with post-concussion syndrome that came on a week before the original release of the record and lasted a year and a half.
