Emerging from the shadows of his former alias, **Mono Code** (formerly known as Deft Design) delivers his transformative debut EP on Cimmerian Records. "Fallen Angel" marks not just a change in name, but an evolution in artistic vision – pushing the boundaries of bass manipulation and percussive architecture into uncharted territories.

Across four meticulously crafted tracks, Mono Code descends into the darkest corners of minimal dubstep, where intricate sound design meets raw emotional depth. The title track "Fallen Angel" sets the tone with cavernous bass textures that seem to breathe beneath layers of precisely programmed percussion. "ZigZag" follows with its unpredictable rhythmic structures that challenge conventional patterns while maintaining an irresistible groove.

"Overlap" demonstrates Mono Code's masterful approach to spatial awareness, creating a three-dimensional soundscape where elements phase in and out of existence with surgical precision. The EP concludes with "Gradient," a fitting finale that showcases the producer's ability to seamlessly blend atmospheric tension with carefully calibrated bass weight.

This release represents more than just four tracks of forward-thinking dubstep – it's the metamorphosis of an artist shedding past limitations and emerging with renewed creative purpose. Cimmerian Records proudly supports this pivotal moment in Mono Code's journey, inviting listeners to witness the birth of something simultaneously familiar yet entirely new in the underground bass music landscape.

Mono Code  - Gradient

A shapeless young soul, forever wandering between tectonic rhythms and fleeting melodies — searching for balance between two opposing selves: one drawn to raw, driving intensity, the other to subtle, introspective soundscapes.

Raised in Suceava, my fascination with sound began around 2012. What started as simple curiosity soon became a language of its own — a way to translate feeling into motion. My first live set in 2015 marked the moment everything changed, opening a path of exploration that continues to unfold with every mix and shared night.

Over the years, I’ve grown alongside artists who shaped and inspired me, each encounter leaving echoes that find their way into my sound. For me, music isn’t about arriving somewhere — it’s the constant drift, the dialogue between rhythm, instinct, and reflection. It’s where I lose myself, and where I keep finding something new.

It’s the sound of becoming — and I’m still listening for what comes next.

Pushing the envelope of bass music.
