DECAY MIX 030 - Monako

A gracious and refined contributor to the thriving underground in the city - producer, DJ, and co-founder of Big Ting Recordings, Monako (@monakooo) joins us on the Midday Mix. Today's set retraces Monako's roots with a track list comprised of primarily SWANA artists he admires as well as some local Australian artists (and adjacent). Strap yourself for an expansive passage through various tempos and genres of the electronic realm as Monako glides us into club and onto the dfloor.

The Midday Mix - Monako

Monako has been a core figure in Eora's (Sydney, AU) electronic music scene for over a decade, making his mark as a DJ, producer, and co-founder of Big Ting Recordings and Dayshift. Known for his bold, bass-heavy sound, he thrives in the city's underground bass and techno community, pushing fresh ideas and championing the music he loves.

With a deep appreciation for breakbeat-driven sounds, Monako's sets move through techno, drum and bass, electro, and ambient elements, all tied together by gritty basslines and punchy percussion. His ability to adapt to any setting - whether a dark, intimate club, a sprawling warehouse rave, or a packed festival stage - has made him a favourite among Eora's electronic music crowd.

Beyond DJing, Monako has helped shape the local underground scene, curating and promoting events that bring cutting-edge sounds to the city. As a co-founder of Big Ting Recordings and Dayshift, he's played a key role in booking and hosting some of the world's most respected artists, including Loefah, K-LONE, Pinch, Madam X, Kahn & Neek, Jeremy Sylvester, DJ Flight, and Wa-Fu, among others.

His club-ready productions, built on breakbeat textures and detailed sound design, have earned him regular play on FBi Radio and respect from listeners and fellow artists alike. Internationally, he represented Australia at Outlook Festival (Croatia) in 2016, while back home, he has delivered standout performances at Subsonic, Secret Garden, Dragon Dreaming, and countless warehouse and club events.

Monako is always searching for new ways to challenge the limits of sound, breaking free from the usual constraints of tempo and genre. Whether building deep, atmospheric journeys or delivering raw, high-energy bass and techno, his approach keeps crowds locked in and the energy flowing.

What we have here is the finest selection from Sonia Calico, the amazing Taiwanese producer and DJ, very well known around underground circles in East Asia!  End of November she has embarked on her European tour, stopping by in two Croatian cities - Zagreb & Zadar, showcasing her talent to regional audience.

In her own words: "This mix is like my usual listening preference that has all kind of style and rhythm, ethnic elements from different parts of the world. Including some of my unreleased edits and new music from my friends. I always enjoy mixing tribal, chants, percussive sounds into synth, pure electronic tracks, so to create an atmosphere jumps between analog and digital world.  I would recommend listening to the mix while doing some mild labor works, such as sweeping the floor or hanging out the laundry. Hope you'll enjoy the mix."

Therefore, stay tuned and enjoy!

RA Live - 19.07.2019 - Peggy Gou & Palms Trax, Sónar, Barcelona

A little late on the upload with this one, but here's my mix for Triple J's Mix Up which aired on the 7th September, 2019. One hour of multi-genre dance-floor things, 130-170bpm. Big love to Andy and Triple J for having me, and the very kind words from Tia below!

"Not afraid to throw down a menacing bassline, he’s quickly become a fan favorite in Sydney’s growing underground bass and techno scene. Lighting fires under dancefloors across the city, his sets duck and weave through techno, drum & bass, breakbeat and plenty more.

This mix is no different, kicking off on an electro tip and winding all the way up to some heavy breakbeat and jungle. Buckle up!"

Triple J Mix Up - Monako - September 2019

Dart Echo's mix series kicks off with Rings Around Saturn (@rdjm0). Notorious for idiosyncrasy, experimentation, and a wide breadth of taste and knowledge, Rory McPike's 2020 releases saw him jump from fizzing electro on Pure Space to low-ride, dubbed-out bass on Modern Hypnosis. 

His Dart Echo mix is evidence that no genre is safe from the Melbourne stalwart: the journey paces beautifully through the bubbling groove of tech and deep-house with highlights from Galcher Lustwerk and Loraine James and Le3 bLACK. Cognisant of the global predicament, McPike expertly expresses how we're feeling, delivering a mix equally apt for a socially-bubbled lounge-room boogie or a solitary plunge into headphone-headspace.

Dart Echo Mix #001 - Rings Around Saturn

Qi M0N0 (@qi-mono) arrives with an assiduous selection of rolling left-field sounds with a particular focus on mid-tempo tracks with vocal oddities.

Dart Echo Mix #002 - Qi M0N0

RUPA (@rupa_anurendra) follows with a superb mix of well-rounded electro and modern breaks, beginning gently before cranking the heat up with belters from the likes of Rudolf C and Ex-Terrestrial.

Dart Echo Mix #003 - RUPA

Lily July (@lylyjuly) jumps into the high gears of DnB before weaving an immaculate blend of contrasting tones and sounds that gradually cools down in the second half, all picked out by an ear that is evidently far reaching and curious.

Dart Echo Mix #004 - Lily July

Lara K (@l_arak) smears the lines of conventional mixing by expertly selecting a non-linear myriad of sounds and feelings, leaping from serious head-bangers to more contemplative and wandering tones.

Dart Echo Mix #005 - Lara K

Dart Echo continues to explore sounds emerging from circuitry, orchestrated in pure or hybrid forms by genius, and always affecting people, whether alone or with others, viscerally, cerebrally or both. Recalling analogue sound’s definition, our releases are infinitely variable in nature.
