Vim! – 0% Sianisms {MOD#127}

Artist: Vim!
Title:
0% Sianisms
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
MOD#127
Release Date:
1998/03/16


Does the man know no end to his beginning? More wonderfulness from Vim!, to whom this track makes perfect sense, but to the rest of us.. wow. It seems random but it’s all completely mapped out on graph paper before he starts. Next to his new inventions, the spaceship and the peanut that reverses time. Could you dance to this? Or just spasm? Heh, who cares? Just listen 😉

Distance – Palettes EP {rel#15}

Artist: Distance
Title:
Palettes EP
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#15
Release Date:
1998/03/09


The first distance release as an official member of mono/monotonik, and it’s another beautiful one. We don’t know where he gets it from but the style is wild and somehow all messed up but making sense and slowly emerging to reveal the horrible truth below a veneer of carefully tailored respectability and we can see the sonic truth coming slowly upon us from above like a vengeful angel but can only watch and wait as it envelopes us and eats our soul and our mind…. help us.


Tracklist:
01 – Thor’s Magic Bathtub [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]
02 – Gummy [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]
03 – Why I Am What I Am Like [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]

Hoffman – Stomp Da Disko-Tek {rel#14}

Artist: Hoffman
Title:
Stomp Da Disko-Tek
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#14
Release Date:
1998/03/06


I said, _how_ good? Boasting is for those with small brains, but even the Mono oracle (that’s Mr.Oracle to you) was gobsmacked by this piece of sonic mayhem. So he told us to tell you how much he likes it. So we’re not really boasting, then. Oh, that’s ok. Hoffman, for those not in the know, is the artist formally known as Dreamfish, and the South-West of England is yet to recover from the sonic attacks he has regularly waged on it. Take cover, low flying beats, mon!

Bay Tremore – Basement {MOD#126}

Artist: Bay Tremore
Title:
Basement
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
MOD#126
Release Date:
1998/02/17


A new guest release, this time from the rather attractively named Bay Tremore, and it’s a really funky headnodder, blunted stylee. This track was introduced to us by Zyad, who’s done quite a funky remix of it – this may come out on fsb sometime soon if we’re all lucky 🙂 Thanks to Mr.Tremore for letting us put out his most excellent tune, and remember, kidz, innovate, don’t imitate (that’s enough with the surreal song descriptions, you know who you are!)

Dharma – Flash, Gone Now {REL#125}

Artist: Dharma
Title:
Flash, Gone Now
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#125
Release Date: 1998/02/10


Dharma never bums us out, and here’s another track that hits all the right notes, percussively and chill-wise. Very wise,in fact, as it hips and hops and hippety-hops around in a kinda jazzy drummy funky way. Dub is love, this is almost better than the karma police coming round your house and taking you away. Heh, my karma ran over your dogma, man. 🙂

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. 🙂

Ramone – Flowing Like Liquid {REL#123}

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. 🙂

01 – Ramone+MortimerTee – Streetbeat 2 [XM] [FLAC] [MP3]
02 – Substance+MortimerTee – King Groove (Substance Mix) [MOD] [FLAC] [MP3]

Dune – Aliens With Many Limbs EP {rel#13}

Artist: Dune
Title:
Aliens With Many Limbs EP
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#13
Release Date:
1998/01/15


To coincide with the release of his live material (with Yolk) via MP3, and a number of unreleased modules, on http://www.brothomstates.scene.org and http://ftp.scene.org respectively, Dune has kindly allowed us to put out a couple of his best unreleased-to-date tracks out on Mono. We’d always meant to do something together, and now we have it’s kinda secondhand, but at least it’s unashamedly out there. And the tracks are anything but cut-price. 🙂 Going once..

01 – White Plastic [S3M] [FLAC] [MP3]

Zyad – . … .. .. …. . {rel#12}

Artist: Zyad
Title:
. … .. .. …. .
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#12
Release Date:
1998/01/11


Mmmmm. We figured we should really feature some more of Zyad’s rather gorgeous Monotonik-styled tracks, and here’s a really, really nice one. Sorta slightly Orbital-esque, but more driving, minimal, and twisty than that, it’s another example of why we started up Monotonik – whilst we love all the jungle/triphop/eclecticism, a lot of us really get off on da techno tip too. 🙂 So get off too.
