Ramone – Get Busy On ‘Em {REL#100}

Artist: Ramone
Title:
Get Busy On ‘Em
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#100
Release Date:
1997/08/26


Kicking it into da stratosphere, brother Ram is on da hype tip with this absolutely wicked jungle track. The sub-bass, the timestretch vocals, the hiphop stylings, it’s typical Ramone, and all the better for that. Some weird ethnic stuff somewhere far in the background, too. Listen carefully, because all will be revealed 🙂

Distance – Infinite EP {rel#o2}

Artist: Distance
Title:
Infinite EP
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#o2
Release Date:
1997/08/26


This is one we’ve been saving up for some time, and it’s a _big_ treat. Distance/Orange hasn’t really had many tunes widely released, and here’s probably his first major release. But look what we’ve been missing. Here’s three of the most beautiful, soulful minimal tracks Mono’s heard in a very, very long time. Kick back, and enjoy.


Tracklist:
01 – Grind [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]
02 – Messy Accessories [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]
03 – Pond [IT] [FLAC] [MP3]

Whiskas – Magic Milktunnel {REL#99}

Artist: Whiskas
Title:
Magic Milktunnel
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#99
Release Date:
1997/08/17


Mmm. Another truly original release from Whiskas, and this one takes ethnic elements and fuses them with breakbeat to make something rather new and groovy. As for the name, who can say what intoxicants were involved in the process of calling this tune “Magic Milktunnel”? We certainly can’t say. 🙂 But watch out for more unconventionality along these lines, soon. Same channel, same time. Out. 🙂

Dharma – Shade {REL#98}

Artist: Dharma
Title:
Shade
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#98
Release Date:
1997/08/11


Ridiculously hot day here at Mono HQ, and a suitably humid and oppressive release to suit it. Dharma comes on strong with a ‘Sunstroke Mix’ of this excellent downbeat track, complete with weird jazzy inflexions. Perhaps you can see why he’s joined up with Mono now? 🙂 We’re scared of him, at least. ;P

Dreamfish – Lost In A Harthouse {rel#o1}

Artist: Dreamfish
Title:
Lost In A Harthouse
Label:
Monotonik
Catalog #:
rel#o1
Release Date:
1997/08/08


The first release for Monotonik, Mono’s techno sublabel, and it’s a brand new tune from the transcendental Dreamfish. We know a lot of the German RR guys are fans of this guy, so hope you like his latest project – we say it’s damn classy as always. And the title is a homage to one of the finest techno labels of all time. So sit down, relax, and check it. Chiiiiiiill.

Substance – Aftertouch {REL#97}

Artist: Substance
Title:
Aftertouch
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#97
Release Date:
1997/08/05


We were looking through the archives just now and came across this really rather irie track by Substance. It was entered in the music competition (subsequently cancelled) for the Digital Candy BBS, our former WHQ, earlier this year, but never really got spread properly. So, naturally, we decided to put it out. Rejoice, heathens, for Substance is your ruler and master. 😉

Relief+Skizo – Amber Beats EP {REL#96}

Artist: Relief+Skizo
Title:
Amber Beats EP
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#96
Release Date:
1997/07/29


Mommy, they’re scaring meeee. The Splif Productions duo hit us with another pair of tunes, if only to show us just how much paranoid toking they’ve been doing. Liberally smothered in Massive Attack-styled slow-as-hell-mo atmosphere, it’s time to duck behind the sofa and wait for the things to start coming through the walls atya. Respect. The title of the EP, in case you ask, is because this stuff is just like being slowly encased in amber. Struggling all the time.

Title:
Th (Mooncheese Rmx)
Label:

Release Date:

Well, another excellently original release by Vim!, a remix of one of his own 4-channel tunes (which we may release at some other date), and another scorcher. zoom, zoom, zoomie zoom, the tune zooms. 😉 Damn, it’s such a pity that mr.vim! is not much longer for the tracking scene.. seems a shame to waste such a talent. *sigh*.

Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#94
Release Date:
1997/07/21


Another eagerly awaited release from one of the most eagerly listened to artists on Mono – and phew, another scorcher. Mortimer remixes Twilight’s excellent “Crystal Rain” and takes it way above the temporal, onto another plane even. Chant those mantras, see the chords soar and the bass boom. 🙂

Blandest+Diesel8 – Mono backdrops! {REL#SP}

Artist: Blandest+Diesel8
Title:
Mono backdrops!
Label:
Mono211
Catalog #:
REL#SP
Release Date:
1997/07/20


Special release time, hah. We’ve got 2 cool (no, supacool!) Mono logos which both go very well as Windows backdrops. So we have a wicked black n white thang from Blandest/Acid, featuring all sorts of very nice superimposed subtlty, and an excellent rendered (?) logo from Diesel8 (ex.Razor1911) 🙂

Oki, so what you do to get a lovely Mono backdrop on your PC is as follows:

1. Load the logo into any paint program or Netscape/Internet Explorer.
2. Save it out into your Windows directory as a BMP 🙂
3. Right click on your screen, change your background pattern to all black, and your background wallpaper to the Mono logo. Centred, not tiled, style freaks. 😉

And that would be about it. Stay cool and watch out for more specials soon. 🙂 Those with Amigas can no doubt find something cool to do with the logos too, whee. 🙂
