We are proud to present to you our newest release : MONSTART VOL.5 [MNSTRT013] 

Including 10 original club music tracks by talented producers from all around the world. What is the club ? What are feelings inside ? We tried to think what club music will be in 2017, each track represents a particular feeling made, a certain attitude and atmosphere, but it boils down to one thing, the tracks are made to dance and nothing else. Simple. 

" Montpellier and Paris-based clubnight and label Monstart follow up from a stellar 2016 crammed full of eclectic releases, parties and Rinse France shows with their 5th compilation to date. Headed up by one of France’s finest DJs, Ouanounou and visionary dancer Chatte Chatoyante, “Monstart Vol. 5” is a love letter to the club and the physical experiences it can offer. Having cut their teeth as promoters before forming the label, there’s a performative element to everything they put out which makes it hard not to bust a groove when you hear a Monstart track. As Ouanounou notes, ‘Dance and music must be associated for us, we can’t even imagine a party without more than just DJs performing.’ 

Building on their vision of an international club sound that represents artists from all around the world, the release features artists from Lithuania, Zambia, Germany, Russia, USA, Denmark and, of course, France. Whilst compilations of Night Slugs-esque club tracks from multiple nationalities has become a stereotyped calling card for small labels like Monstart, what makes this album stand apart from the sea of ‘club-comps’ is how much freedom the producers are given to explore their own sound and identity; pushing the genre to it’s limits. Each track represents a particular feeling, a certain attitude or atmosphere but always it boils down to one focal point; these tracks are made to make you dance and sweat. 

Ryan Wick kicks off the release with “U & I,” which deftly marries percussive UK funky drumbeats with breathy vocal samples. Elsewhere on the release Paradoxe Club’s De Grandi creates an afrobeat-inspired synth workout on “Global” and Hyperboid’s Fisky delivers a trippy house track crammed full of endlessly stuttering delay effects on “Rontonda.” Hexagon Dub’s Sheik rounds things off with Vera, showcasing his unmistakably British ear for an ominous bassline and unexpected counterpoints throughout. 

For the Monstart founders, ‘a world must be created within music to give people a unique and new experience to remember.’ This compilation fully realizes this desire to highlight dance music’s spatial and atmospheric elements. Turn it up loud and dive into the Monstart world. "

James Bangura - Curtain Call (SHE Spells Doom Remix)

We are so grateful to have a track from AMEN The Producer @amen-producer in our catalogue!!! So many of his tunes made their ways in our DJ sets for the last 3-4 years. The producer, artist and DJ from the Bronx NY handles a wide range of styles from trap and hip-hop, house, Jersey inspired club to his own booming strand of footwork. He is also a member of the terrific Papi Squad collective frequently co-creating with them.
The 'DJ Trak' is a hard Jersey Club assault stripped down to its core elements allowing one enormous bass kick to take the entire room at times. AMEN’s distinctive craft shine through the entire trak with skippy hip-hop vocal edits, extra large bass pounding kicks, echoing chants, percussive tones and constant rhythm variations.

“Let's Put The Groove Back in Techno and House Music”.

Jaymie Silk doesn’t make straight up-and-down techno or house music. The Paris-based artist draws from arange of influences informed by his Afro-European heritage, his teen years as a rap producer and a subsequent move to Montreal, where he fell into the city’s ballroom scene. The result is truly idiosyncratic music that’s as richly varied as his path.

Quickly noticed for his productions mixing rhythms from the Jersey Club, combining African percussions with techno and house sounds, his avant-gardism propels him in the sphere of those artists perpetually challenging the established norms. Constantly playlisted by renowned DJs on BBC, Rinse, NTS or platforms like HOR, described as a "prodigy" or in the lineage of "great black innovators of house and techno" by Juno Daily, it is by releasing projects and remixes on labels like Fool's Gold, Shall Not Fade or Pelican Fly that he asserts himself as a unique artist.

His album "The Rise and Fall Of Jaymie Silk & Rave Culture" and his recent EP "Rub Music Vol.1: Artificial Realness" have been acclaimed by the electronic media, which ranked them in the list of the best albums of 2022 and the best projects of January 2023. Among the first to use AI-generated voices, Jaymie has shown, once again, that he still defies the norms, as evidenced by the notion of Rub Music that he introduced this year (contraction of Rave and Club Music).

Now back in Paris, whether it was with his monthly talk show on Refuge Worldwide where he talked about mental health, on stage (Igloofest, Piknic Electronik, Trabendo...) or via guest mixes as for Annie Nightingale on BBC Radio 1, ''freedom'' is a driving force in Silk’s music, both in its political message, whether subtle or overt, and in his refusal to play by stylistic “rules”.
