Relief+Skizo – Gangsta Mood {REL#124}

Artist: Relief+Skizo
Title:
Gangsta Mood
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#124
Release Date:
1998/02/03


Some brand new material from the excellent Splif Productions, and it’s some kinda classy, slow-as-hell ‘triphop’. Or whatever you wanna call it. It’s well-mannered, dangerous, and looking to mess up your head, in any case, so watch those synapses, it’ll shove em back and feast on your neurons, sneaking in when you didn’t even notice. Or something like that. 🙂

Artist: Ramone
Title:
Flowing Like Liquid
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#123
Release Date:
1998/01/25


After his most excellent participation in last release’s Mortimer remix frenzy, Ramone returns at his rabid best with this oh so blunted piece of paranoia. Ramone normally cranks out his tracks from Germany, but is currently in New York doing.. something or other. We can only guess. Wu-Tang Clan collaboration coming up? 😛 Come back soon, Monie. 🙂

Artist: Various Artists
Title:
Mortimeremixed EP
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#122
Release Date:
1998/01/19


From an idea originally suggested by Oh-Gosh, and quite possibly Mortimer himself, this joint release (heh, he said joint!) with Black Sista is a collection of remixes of Mortimer Twang, Sweet Mortimer Tee, M.Twang Esq. With absolutely no irony, this release is dedicated to Meester Twang himself. Lucas, you rule. Don’t forget to check da Black Sista homepage at http://blacksista.mypage.org for more good stuff, of course. 🙂 And thanks to all the artists involved for making this rather pleasant. 🙂

Artist: TheFoxII
Title:
Roots
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#121
Release Date:
1998/01/07


Timewarp alert. Timewarp alert. Mono journeys back 10 of your Earth years, to a time when Bomb The Bass and S-Express ruled da world and The Prodigy were probably just jiving back from school to do their homework 🙂 Pump up the volume, we say, and thanks to former member, now all-star guest-star TheFoxII, for taking us back to the bad old days. 🙂

Muffler – Tama’s Kingdom {REL#120}

Artist: Muffler
Title:
Tama’s Kingdom
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#120
Release Date:
1998/01/02


Whoa. We start 1998 with a great doubleheader, showcasing exclusive extended versions of the two tunes from the winning Scoopex+Haujobb Amiga demo at The Party 7 in Denmark. This particular gem, a bigbeat treat from Muffler that we felt fitted best on da Mono label, is here with you now. But there’s also the other track, abstract techno in a FSOL-sorta-stylee from Jazz+Fndr, out now on Monotonik, – so check ’em both out if you know what you’re about. 🙂

Vim! – Norman {REL#119}

Artist: Vim!
Title:
Norman
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#119
Release Date:
1997/12/21


Mono’s final release of 1997, most likely, and an appropriately.. nice one. 🙂 Vim! really kicks the technique unlike anyone else, and here’s another example of that fact. I mean, _what_ is going on here? Can anyone tell us? It’s Aphex Twin meeting Tim Follin on a deserted road and beating the crap outta each other, we guess. Stand well clear and watch for the pyrotechnics. 🙂

Ice Climber – Teddy Bear Magix EP {REL#118}

Artist: Ice Climber
Title:
Teddy Bear Magix EP
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#118
Release Date:
1997/12/16


“i wage war on the tracking industry”. Live and direct from the land of the rising sun comes a supa-skilful 5-track EP from ice.climber, formerly known as Karl/Kosmic, sometimes known as Bogdan, permanently a maverick fixture somewhere on the scene. This is nice, very nice indeed, and some of da tracks are kinda remixes of some recent Mono tracks (Zyad and others…) Well, perhaps reinterpretations using the same samples would be closer to the truth. 🙂 Whatever, ignore ice.climber at your peril. ignore mono at your penelope pitstop. 🙂

01 – 900 [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]

Jazz+Fndr – Echtzeit (remix) {REL#117}

Artist: Jazz+Fndr
Title:
Echtzeit (rmx)
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#117
Release Date:
1997/12/07


Jazz and Fndr guest it up with this rather lovely drum+bass track, perfect for chilling out or rocking the funky beat, depending on how loud you play it. Mono recommends you play it very loud indeed. 🙂 Four channels can still kick some sizable ass, even with supa-complex jungle riddims, and here’s some further proof. Enjoy.

Zyad – Evil Banquet EP {REL#116}

Artist: Zyad
Title:
Evil Banquet EP
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#116
Release Date:
1997/12/01


The first Mono release by Zyad, our newest member, and it’s pretty easy to see how he fits in. Very nicely, as it happens. 🙂 So, we got more downbeat bigbeat pleasures for your cerebellum – just sit up and say thankyou. Although there’s definitely some scary, scary static-filled undertones to both these tracks. Be slightly afraid, be very slightly afraid. 🙂

Substance – Ruff Timez {REL#115}

Artist: Substance
Title:
Ruff Timez
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#115
Release Date:
1997/11/25


Ooch. Some serious roughness from the normally gentle and caring Substance. 😉 Well, ok, he’s hardly been a saint, but this is downright prosecutable. Jazz bass, twinkling hi-hats, and a buzz, buzz, buzz buzz in your eardrum bass from somewhere da other side of Pluto. The planet, not the cartoon character. Stand back before igniting.
