Mono
Catalog #:

Release Date:

Back again, this time with a guest-release – thanks to the German duo Jazz n Smartass for providing the 24-carat entertainment, and the pretty damn stupid song title. 🙂 Following the example of fellow Germans Hardfloor in the silly songname stakes, are we? 😛 Heh, it’s a wikked track, anyhow. Mellow out.

Carebear – Confession {MUL#07}

Artist: Carebear
Title:
Confession
Label:
Mono
Catalog #:
MUL#07
Release Date:
1996/11/25


Carebear’s multichannel competition winner, as promised, and it’s a classy melange of all sorts of nice stuff – wicked speech samples, too. Kinda DJ Hype + Ganja Kru for our scene? 🙂 Carebear’s another Mono member who does 4-channel and multichannel stuff, anyway – both Dreamfish and Supernao promise some multichannel action soon too.

TheFoxII – Rushmore EP {MOD#48}

Artist: TheFoxII
Title:
Rushmore EP
Label:
Mono
Catalog #:
MOD#48
Release Date:
1996/11/20


Another double-release, this time from TheFoxII, and the title track wins the award for the Mono tune which makes us jump around the most, ever. Yes, ever. Speed those housevocals up, throw in some breakbeats, we got a guaranteed barnstormer, it seems. As for the second track, it’s a smart return to the style of earlier TFII releases on Mono – those chords are an absolute bitch to loop, tho. 🙂

01 – Rushmore Remix [MOD] [FLAC] [MP3]

Substance – Decay To Insanity EP {MOD#47}

Artist: Substance
Title:
Decay To Insanity EP
Label:
Mono
Catalog #:
MOD#47
Release Date:
1996/11/14


Another substantial release from the marvellous minimal-trancer, and this time a mellower track, twinned with a trademark phasing, hihat-smearing tune. 4 channels ain’t dead. 🙂 There’s more to come – watch out for a distinctly non-trademark triphop track from Substance in the coming releases. Whee, and what’s more, wheee.

Relief – Simon Says {MUL#06}

Artist: Relief
Title:
Simon Says
Label:
Mono
Catalog #:
MUL#06
Release Date:
1996/11/09


The debut release from the rather attuned Relief, and one of his neato multichannel tunes, grudgingly made after his Amiga keyboard broke. This is in the kinda style you don’t normally hear on a PC… isn’t it? On the unclassifiable side, but wikkedness increase – listen to those drums stutter ‘n roll and enjoy.

Dreamfish – Shredless Wonder {MOD#46}

Artist: Dreamfish
Title:
Shredless Wonder
Label:
Mono
Catalog #:
MOD#46
Release Date:
1996/11/06


Dreamfish returns with a groove that’s both minimal and lush at the same time, and we have to nod our heads to this one, don’t we? Unclassifiable? Yep. Groovable? More so. The transition halfway through the track is, incidentally, phat. Repeat play, please, and don’t spare the horsepower. 🙂

Keith303 – Anxiety Express {MUL#05}

Artist: Keith303
Title:
Anxiety Express
Label:
Mono
Catalog #:
MUL#05
Release Date:
1996/11/02


Well, Mono’s especially pleased to feature a guest release from one of the masters of the PC elektronik sound, Keith303 of Radical Rhythms. This track was composed ‘specially for Mono, and was to have been part of a Mono vs. RR EP, until spare time problems forced that to one side for a while. But we still intend to get a Mono and RR co-operation going sometime in the future, so watch out for that one… and in the meantime, enjoy this wikked track.
