As we move into the heart of the winter here in Montreal, we are proud to welcome back the talented Quebecois producer - Monarke. Hailing from Quebec City, he has gained international acclaim in recent years as a key figure for Soul Button's Steyoyoke. His 2021 debut on XYZ - Edge of Reality - struck a chord with global groovers. We are thrilled to have Monarke return for his sophomore release on the imprint : Footprints.

On the A-side, Monarke connects with Whirl for a collaborative gem. Footprints flows effortlessly into a sultry mood, allowing bespoke synthetics to capture the mind. Momentum rises as the track floats onwards, lifting ethereal tones from start to finish. Simply a beautiful production.

On the flip, Monarke turns the dial on Intricate. A warm breakbeat sets us in lockstep, and crisp percussives bring riveting rhythms. Utilizing enveloping energy and ominous melodics, the Canadian's progressive production swirls us into a sensational soundscape. A B-side built for the dancers.
