Artist: DJ Nova/Elektroblef
Title:
Oldskoolmonotonikantiks
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
mtkdj07
Release Date:
2000/07/03


A little more of the mixed-up-ness for your tired brain, and perhaps the best mix Monotonik’s released so far, Slovenia’s DJ Nova presents us with a mix of classic older Monotonik tracks from Lackluster/Distance, Prob, Jiva, and others..

In the style of his previous mix for Mono211, but much more laidback, “Oldskoolmonotonikantiks” uses soundscapes, cut-ups, and ethereal voice-overs to really mix things up intelligently, and the selection of tracks is pin-point sharp. In conclusion – this is your brain [&]. This is your brain on Monotonik [!!&!!]. See what we mean?

Tracklisting:

1. Distance (aka Lackluster) – “Grind”
2. Dharma – “Otsuki”
3. Distance – “Only”
4. Distance – “Tourists”
5. Dune – “7”
6. Jazz+Fndr – “Antigotchi”
7. Mellow-d (aka md) – “b”
8. Distance – “Thor’s Magic Bathtub”
9. Prob – “Chinwokh”
10. Prob – “Naks Raks”
11. Distance – “Mabo”
12. Prob – “Skyline”
13. Jiva – “Unicorn”

[NB – A number of these Distance/Lackluster tracks, previously released on Monotonik, are available in souped-up LP/CD form via Focus/DeFocus, please consider supporting Monotonik artists and buying them.. check out the Lackluster discography for more information/online stockists..]

Elektroblef – Md Showcase {mtkdj04}

Artist: Elektroblef
Title:
Md Showcase
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
mtkdj04
Release Date:
2000/05/17


Another dj-set from our Slovenian friends at Elektroblef, this hour-long mix mainly showcases Monotonik friend and affiliate md (once mellow-d), who was due to release his “Between Gaps” album on Monotonik as our first CD release.

It now looks like we’ll be sticking to the Internet-only thang, so we may release that album as mp3-only, or md may do something else spooky with it. In the meantime, the first released track from it, “Fres Core”, is available on the Merck records compilation “Squadron” (try http://www.m3rck.net/squadron for info/realaudio – the compilation also features many other Monotonik-related people such as Lackluster, Frank Bolero, and Bauri.)

Md will also be CD-re-releasing his classic FM/Monotonik mp3 album “Appelsap” on Merck Records soon. But in the meantime try this great mix of his older material, both from that album and elsewhere..

[Interestingly, the whole mix is bookended by fellow Five Musicians member Hunz, who collaborated with h0l right back in 1991 on synth-pop atrocities but now has a proper record deal for his NIN-ish semi-electronica.. ah, the hindsight!]

the tracklisting for “Md Showcase” is as follows:

. on me > hunz
. cxib > md
. headroom > md
. laivurinkatu 6 > md
. te.2r > md
. xilo > md
. ibo:ng > md
. trem muls > md
. bjarn kv pontor > md
. appelsap 4 > md
. appelsap 5 > md
. appelsap 8 > md
. assimilate me > hunz
