MONOLINK live in The Lab LA
The modular synth bore in the corner is already explaining to anyone who will listen why live vocals over a kick drum is actually groundbreaking. Mate, just drink your kombucha and dance. The intimate, hazy vibe at The Lab LA is proper hypnotic, perfectly suited for a live electronic hybrid set. Looking at the MONOLINK The Lab LA tracklist, the Rominimal rhythms chug along at a steady 119.5 BPM.
This MONOLINK live set is an exercise in slow-burn tension, anchored in 12A and 10A keys to create a deeply melodic, low-energy arc that completely mesmerizes the room. The crate digger moments are wonderfully varied. Blending Ultrademon's 'Bend' with the dark progressive classic 'Tiramisu' by Beckers & D'nox shows proper musical depth. The sonic journey is a beautifully cohesive trip.
Starting mysterious with an 'Unknown' opening track, the absolute pinnacle of the set is the breathtaking 12-minute live rendition of 'Monolink - Rearrange My Mind'. He finally brings everyone back down to earth with the closing track, 'Jayeson Andel - Awe (Part II)'.
