UK-born and now based in New Zealand, (Maxwell) Monika is known for his expressive drum and bass tracks on well-known labels like Spearhead Records, Shogun Audio, and Fokuz Recordings. He’s just announced the release of his latest project, the ‘Off World’ EP—a sci-fi-inspired journey through drum & bass, breakbeat, jungle, and ambient music.

‘Off World’ is a spiritual follow-up to ‘Yikes FM’ (which dropped in 2021), and it’s the second instalment in Monika’s ‘MonTape’ series. This series is all about showcasing his creations that step outside the usual 174 bpm, club-ready realm. With ‘Off World,’ Monika dives deep into a retro, sci-fi vibe, drawing direct inspiration from classic novels like Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’ and Dan Simmons’ ‘Hyperion.’ The cover art and track titles aim to capture that mysterious feeling you get from one of those dusty old books. Musically, Monika has channelled artists like Om Unit, Overmono, John Carpenter, and Vangelis to create a cinematic, analog mood that’s still rooted in the drum-led world of club music.
