Get In The Mood (Jared Leopard Edit)

Ouanounou, from the south of France and based in Montpellier, has been co-founder, label manager, producer and DJ of the Monstart label since 2009. His DJ sets and residencies have resonated in famous clubs in France and Europe, where he is specialized in a wide range of musical genres, from Global Bass music to more specific styles such as Dancehall, Reggaeton, Grime, Kuduro, Baile Funk, Juke/Footwork and Ghetto House.

His debut EP entitled "Début" released on Monstart in 2014 placed him on the club culture scene as a producer known for percussive rhythms, and genre fusion. Subsequently, he developed the Monstart label with 19 releases noticed by the scene.

Resident at Rinse France for 5 years, he has been based at Piñata Radio for a monthly residency since 2021.

In 2019, he created the Audioscore studio, where he took on the role of music supervisor for global TV campaigns such as Sidaction, Honda, Skyn, Oppo, etc. 

Through his 15-year career, Ouanounou offers us in 2023 his new EP "Stepping Out, composed of 10 tracks, including 4 unreleased remixes. Exploring club energy in the 130-160 BPM range, this highly UK-influenced project is an ode to club effervescence.

Monstart was born 15 years ago, out of love and celebration. The fruit of the meeting of Ouanounou (DJ) and Chatte Chatoyante (dancer-performer). 

With its pack of artists coming from all over the world, the label has been exploring club music and culture. Not caring about adhering to one specific genre, they draw from all of their combined influences to create a hybrid project.

With one idea in mind : to be together while celebrating the richness of human singularities.

Since 2009, 80 events mixing music and performances, 21 releases on the label (EPs and compilations) and a 5 years residency on Rinse France have allowed them to express their own vision of club music. After 5 years of Rinse’s residency,  Monstart is experiencing a new chapter with their homies of Piñata Radio by starting a musical journey, becoming their new monthly hosts. 

“For us dance and music are inseparable. We approach them in a personal, visceral and inclusive way. We don’t care about fitting in.”

Since 2019, the label has opened its publishing and sync branch named 'AudioScore', producing music for worldwide advertising campaigns.
