MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 066 - Principle SituationDefined by an almost distant memory of equatorial vacations, re-kindled by Sonar 2019 and compiled to the backdrop of stranger things .. An overdue and eclectic fusion of melodic glissandos, arpeggiations, strings over breaks and 4:4 with a free flowing, percussive and textural direction.

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 065 - Radio Eden 4After an extended session, deep in collaboration with Deep Transmissions since early December, this episode finally makes its way on to the shelves just in time for the holiday... First five from yours truly sets up a path that has more of a four to the floor theme than previous volumes. Given the festive season, we have a bonus extended play length just over the 2 hour mark, with some extra stocking fillers of dub styles along with 2 cracking atmospheric DnB joints from RQ's excellent new LP. Programmed with 5-8-8-5, this outing is sure to offer some surprises. Sherry...2018-12-232h 04
MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 064 - Radio Eden Volume ThreeExtending on the 2 previous collaborations on a concept mix with Deep Transmissions, this episode flows in a more downbeat trip-hop, jazz infused direction. Still following Parisian influences, but with one eye on the Rising Sun..

The resultant selection seemed to be a hypnotic blend of a dub direction with jazz infusions underpinned by tribal percussive threads. Pensive but bouncy ..

To consolidate our different styles and common tastes, selecting outside the box to hopefully carve out a compilation with a cinematic feel, one that follows organic changes of pace, not over considered, yet still fluid, with its own sense of attitude and just a touch of sassiness.

This selection casts a historical perspective from mid 80s to early 90s and brings themes of Brass and Bongo, 808 Synthesizer Electro, Soul, Boogie and Jazz Funk Basslines.
The Mood starts out strongly using the 1210 as the tools that they are in a bootleg remix style of mixtape with drops into sections with a more club style of mixing, in keeping with the era.

Looking back to the late 80's into early 90's when there were some amazing turntable technicians that inspired me to take up the challenge of mixing tracks on vinyl. Beyond the 4/4.. this session rolls with a jazzy, gospel Hammond, string and flute infused journey from 101 to 120 through Soul, Acid-Jazz, New Jack Swing, early Garage, Deep and Detroit House[]:[][][]: the dionne track is so raw and the messages from Billy, Mel ( you rocked live at Fylde in 95) and the Colonel are as apt and...2017-05-211h 43

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 055 - Deepest DrumAfter a long hiatus, something for the seasons, a considered and culminated selection where monosonics takes an eclectic journey through jazzy and bumpy chillhop into slo-mo-disco via some ethereal soundscaping towards a Chicago inflected deeper house groove with some classic acid at the tail. Expect to hear soul inflections with nuances of New Order, DJ Krush, Nujabes, The Orb, Ulrich Snausch, U2, Stone Roses, Electro Boogie and New Wave Electro. A real mix of blends, seagues, beat mixes and one drops, such is life.. Enjoy

I was really pleased that these tracks were available for me to be able to compile them, but the fave has to be the Nichen track - lovely bass line, although the production on 'All I Want' is too good to ignore and Glen Hobbs has done some exquisitely epic work as well!

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 049 - Media NocheCulminating some hectic but eclectic recent experiences of the last few weeks and executed in the contemplative wake of a recent view of 'Eden'.
Elements of Bongholio Iglesias, D:Bridge, Jacques Greene and Sasha in the selection, coming off like a Back2MineOnTheGlobalUnderground.. but most definitely monosonics on a mad one on the holistic.
With a 100-120 BPM transitioning fusion of Glitch-Funk, DnB, Dub, Electronica and Deep House in an ethereally styled melting pot of defined snare patterns, intense bass-lines and open structures, a listening experience first and foremost.
The standout track for me has to come from Gidge, for...2015-07-2853 min
MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 048 - TardesWith a distinctly contemplative and organic theme to the first 6 into a half dozen tracks linked by spacy synths underpinned with latin inspired percussive patterns and the odd punch from a Disco beat, this really is game of 2 halves. I have still tried to shape a gradual build across the set, taking in a fair few styles.
In my mind, no one cuts it up quite like Phil Gerus, so a seemingly Cyndi Lauper/Atlantic Conveyor inspired production from him opens the shop up to make headway for a lovely and original piece of Afro production from Yuruba Soul. Loving...2015-05-1401 min

Based on a brief of 'Lounge meets club'
The first hour Builds from a festive dub intro with a laid back groove through slo-mo disco and soul influences into mid tempo funky disco based material to warm things through. At the 60 minute marker, tribal and soulful inflected deep house starts to develop for a solid hour of chunky warm grooves, accessible but still with a nice spread of quality.

T4 takes us back on a more soulful and smoky vocal number, right through into the deserved hat-trick from the excellent remote collaboration between AtJazz and Julian Gomes. With such a fusion of the calibre of these two, coupled with a staggering line-up of vocal heritage...2014-05-251h 32
MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 040 - LegacyOpening up with a gentle ease in through some acid tinged soul rework from the mighty FFO, into some sax laden work from Cossta, the mix slowly develops a sound frequently tinged with pads and chords, delineated by some lush break-beat underpinning from Aeroymin. The mix never becomes euphoric but holds fairly constant but measured pressure out of the back of the restrained but punchy urban 'Right Now' track by German Brigante, possibly my fave release on this outing. Sad news that House Music lost another pioneering Forefather earlier this week... RIP Frankie K.

Some brand new freshness from Phil Gerus with 80's tinged synthy soul setting up the build into moody and deep with some jazzy percussive inflections, with the 'Differently', 'Changes' and 'Check' tracks toughening up the layers. Whilst the MoonBoots, Drop Lamond and Matt Mason tracks bring an urban edge to the proceedings. The 2 Chymera tracks piggybacked make for a lush organic wind down in a very much 'northern Exposure' feel. Episode mixed Live on Z1 and Traktor ..

With a veritable santa's stocking of chilled grooves, lush soulful keys and synths, we start off with a bit of Burial's latest work, moving through more low-keyness and moodily into an amazing track by Aamon, where the flows gets a more atmospheric and uplifting groove on - Think RoninXChicane:). From here onwards is the gradual ascension through tracks with a heavier floor presence that builds through a bit of party style from 97 to a pinnacle of Piano-Scratch Frenzy from ACIDUKE in first of 3 'Bonus' tracks.

Starting off squelchy and paddy with some nice quality Ukraine deep into quite reflective in the moody mode with tracks from Luca D'Arle and David Keno then moving towards the late night floor with a tough and dirty get down groove and swing, through some tribalism that peaks with lush deep pads on 'End of Brooklyn' dubbing back down to a heavy yet elevating closer.

Gradually building from an extended downbeat intro through moody, deep and soulful grooves with tight organic bass-lines that twist into more elevating strings and moogy chords.
Great tracks from Guti, Second City and my favourite is a tough call between the ascending groove of Leon Vynehall's 'Sister', the dub from SanFran and the very different melodica of Schegg's Night Owl.

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 022 - Continuity.. Slightly tougher than the previous episode with a more soulful yet analogue imprint. Inspiration behind this mix is the memory of the late great Kenny Hawkes ... He would have been all over a lot of the ripe fruit on offer at the moment.
Standout fave has to be the 80's ElectroSoul styled corker from System of Survival, not overshadowing 'Song for Her' and 'Flash of Life' Luper, Fabo or Dusky's cheeky garage style mix. Track11 - Jus 4 U Luton.

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 021 - Mas ProfundoStarts off moody and atmospheric, moving through synth-disco, dirty tribal, latin and soul influences towards a shiny and uplifting conclusion with elements of a 'Chicane' sound in a lot of the keys, but always deep.
The Teenzo opener is a real involver, T7 reminds me of the classic Tyrant sound and Baby Prince delivers an amazing slab of electro to finish.
Big shout to Juanfra, a quality Gran Canaria DJ who lays down a solid and slick selection every Friday and Saturday @ NoComments bar in Maspalomas, dropping deep and dope delights into the night... Sin Commentarios.

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 020 - ReflectionsAn amazing chapter in my life has recently come to a close, this is all about that.. A selection that is reminescent of the late 80's and early 90's which ascends from lo-fi, dubby and afrocentric into a bumpy garage influenced style, building toughly through some big chords and 80's influenced vocal into progressive peak at T10.
Tails off into T12 with a lush piece of melancholic and atmospheric glitchstep soundscaping by Lake Powel. Fave Tracks are from Fabo, one I missed from the Summer and the fresh sound from Henry Saiz, Shuri-Kan's remix of 'Love can't break you down...2012-09-191h 14
MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 019 - HorizonsStarts and ends with lush, richly textured tunes, moves into a more jacky and bumpy, uplifting house vibe.
Lots of cut-up vocal samples and dubby disco beat production, 80's keys. Inspired by some recent great times with great people in a great city.
My standout faves on this episode come from the mighty Sterling Void, Rudimental, FinneBassen, Alex Sanchez and Atomic Ranch on this episode.

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 018 - Thru The LinesJubilations about the calibre of releases at the moment. Large amount of soul and vocal influences on nearly all the tracks all held together with a warm but slightly raw analogue sound, bumping bass-lines abound. Organic Bass riffs.
First half builds and bubbles, hitting the straight up disco at Track 5, the mix then heads towards the dancefloor... Standout vox on the Jon Silva, Shatti and Tennis with an Indie crossover offering. Liking Dubstep producer Giom getting on the Deep House production tip.

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 017 - Time In The CitySome fresh tracks with some laid back grooves and moody, sultry vocals, contrasting with some complex roland drum patterns and old-skool analogue riffs.
Rich layers in T1, Jazzy vibes on T3, Lovely Vox on T2 and T6, Nice Funky/Deep crossover from the legendary Cajmere.
Ascending at the peak with yet another great release from Martin Roth on AnjunaDeep, love what he's done with Ultra Nate!

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 016 - Waiting TimeThis episode definitely heads off on a more involved, deeper tip, much more low key than the last episode. Featuring plenty of vocal and Piano elements around the middle of the mix.
Most tracks are very recent, but I also wanted to include some older tracks, so 12 - 14 revisit some classics from around 2004.
Some new releases from fave labels FreeRange and SoulShift as well as releases from labels that I haven't picked up on before such as Loco and Mare. Standout for me is the chunky number from D'Steph.

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 014 - ArchitectureLots of tracks on this episode that have got me switched on lately, mostly new with a couple of older classics from jaytech and Axus/Rocco, quite a lot of vocal activity with underlying analogue bass-lines and chords. Slowly builds through a warm, sexy organic sound that develops into a tech flow at T8, with some lush sounds on 9 and 10, returning to a warmer deep tech deep house groove that finishes on a really rich layered track by Alveol. Can't pick a fave on this one, although just can't ignore the feel-good factor of 'Essential Love' and 'Japanese Rose'...

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 013 - SometimesFor this episode, Monosonics puts it down mechanical and chunky but deep and soulful ... Standout tracks are the proper dirty remix of Latecomer's 'The Magic carpet' by the irish maestros Fish Go Deep and Soul Clap's Electro rework of 'Changed' by Mario & Vidis. Also liking the recent Jimpster Dub of Freak Seven's 'We Bring the Music'. Tasty number from Booka vs M.A.N.D.Y and Hanna's latest offering is a nice moody number, tightly remixed by Karlo XVII and MB Valence.

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 012 - NewGenA collection of new stuff along with some great tracks that I had missed from 2011, starts off deep and light before dropping into the major keys with a standout track from Shonky, followed up by some lush 'Oldskool Chicago' style production and absolutely killer keys from Carl Taylor. After a very different breathy, almost poppy Track 6 and a wicked squelchy soulful vocal number from MaceoPlex. The mix then tails off into some gorgeously chilled dubstep/future garage treats from Eleven8 and Submerse, both too good to leave on the bench! Enjoy and look out for more MonoSonics soon ....

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 009 - Mystery JourneyStarting off Disco into Deep into Tech, with plenty of Eighties Synth B-Lines. Monochrome likes to do a mix to mark the onset of autumn - This is the 2011 edition .. Particularly liking Flight Facilities, the fusion sound of 'Counterfeit', The fresh, chilled C-Pen style vibe of Black Marlin and Himan, 'Hot Since '82' bang-on the NuDisco, as well as recloose's latest installment of complex, melodic Tech.

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 007 - CentrifugeBuilding slowly in intensity and tempo from chilled, lo-fi dubs through 80's soul, electro, tribal and garage influences into a full blooded 124 BPM eclectic Deep House Mix. I have deliberately tried to select a diverse range of material for this production and programmed a gradual ascent and blended mix style. I wanted the mood to be soulful and smooth yet still quite uplifting and ended up with quite a few Piano, Brass and Synth elements.. There are a few big tunes in there from TenSnake, Omar/Stevie and DJ Le Roi that I have wanted to include in a mix...2011-07-071h 12
MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 006 - Kenny Hawkes Tribute MixI remember seeing Kenny using for most of his sets around the 98-02 period, namely Space at Bar Rhumba, Plastic People(W1), Soulsonic at the Annexe and I particularly remember the Friday night he played in the basement of Bar Solo in Camden and also recall him being on the billings for the opening nights and ongoing at London's first new generation super clubs, the ill fated Home and highly succesful fabric.. This was testament to how influential and revered KH was.. With the unique selection and style that he delivered, you never knew completely what might be played, but...2011-07-0342 min
