Connection Lost

MONK

Avoidant Records
AVD010 | 2021-03-26  
From the depths of the Glasgow underground comes the as yet unidentified artist, MONK. Born in the shadows, MONK has decided to let his music be the message. Displaying phenomenal production skill, this debut release from the anonymous producer is drenched in excellence. The pure, authentic and anthemic sounds of quintessential synths merged with unmistakable 808 driven beats results in modern classics, cut from on electro and breaks from this shadowy Glasgow native.

Title track Connection Lost leans on that classic Drexciyan sound as tweeked out, syncopated elements pepper the synthetic landscape created by huge, sweeping pads. Under Pressure brings a more breaks tinted edge and hits hard with huge 808 kicks and a proper funked up beat as a snarling bassline takes hold and detuned pads create a supernatural vibe. Table For One continues the with a more psychedelic feel with MONK’s use of ethereal pads across searing bass and razor sharp, direct percussion delivering the attitude. Core closes out this massive release on a deeper tip but still packs a punch. MONK’s use of tension in his sounds creates a more laid back feel with this track but deftly manoeuvres in an aggressive sensibility with a low slung baseline and yet more keenly honed percussive strikes.
