His sample-free tracks are built from synthesizers, guitars, and self-made recordings, ranging from minimal techno to acid house and ambient textures. His 2011 EP Acdise #2 on International Feel gained significant recognition with support from Laurent Garnier, James Holden, and Todd Terje. Gonno has collaborated with Berlin-based producers including a series of EPs with Nick Höppner on Ostgut Ton, the Berghain in-house label. His work bridges Japan and Europe, with releases on labels including Beats In Space, Perc Trax, and Merkur Schallplatten.
