John Monkman stands at the forefront of the global electronic music scene. Known for his dynamic performances and cutting-edge studio productions, Monkman has earned a reputation as both a live music pioneer and a master of sound design.

Affiliated with some of the most prestigious labels in electronic music, including Kompakt, Ellum, Beesemyer Music, Siamese, and Anjunadeep, Monkman delivered the spellbinding track Siren for Kompakt and collaborated with Pete Tong on Ecstasis for Maceo Plex's Ellum Audio. His releases, such as the Komplex EP on Anjunadeep and the versatile Tune In Turn On EP for Ellum, highlight his remarkable range. With two Beatport number ones—his remix of Solomon Grey's Twilight and his single Don’t Have to Be Beautiful—Monkman has further cemented his influence on the global electronic music scene.

Equally compelling is Monkman’s remix portfolio. His remix of U Love for Sasha’s LNOE 100th release, supported by Patrice Bäumel and Sasha, showcases his creative versatility. His rework of Space Date by Adam Beyer and Green Velvet for Drumcode demonstrates the respect he commands within the industry. Monkman has also been remixed by Moby. In 2023, he reunited with Pete Tong for an official remix of Duran Duran's Give It Up, marking another standout moment in his career.

On the live stage, Monkman’s impact is undeniable. He has headlined festivals like the UK’s Noisily Festival, brought his live set to the Ozora Festival in Hungary, and performed at the Anjunadeep Festival in Albania. His recent achievements include headlining Rainbow Serpent 2021. The debut of John Monkman: Live at Coachella 2018 with The DoLab was a pivotal moment, revealing his innovative approach to live performance.

The year 2024 has been a defining chapter for Monkman. His latest live show, Pulse, premiered in Paris through a collaboration with Collectif Scale, breaking new ground with its kinetic light art installation. Filmed in a Paris warehouse on July 6th, this show delivers an immersive audiovisual experience that pushes creative boundaries. In the same year, Monkman released Khord on Anjunadeep, followed by three singles—Vader, Roller Vox, and MAYA—on Beesemyer Music.

Continuously evolving as both a performer and a producer, John Monkman remains a driving force in the electronic music landscape, with his innovative studio work and electrifying live shows securing his position as a leading figure in the scene.

Born and raised in La Manchuela (Cuenca, Spain), Niño Piña discovered his passion for electronic music during his teenage years, with house as his first great obsession. While studying Architecture, he began experimenting with DJ software on his own and quickly fell in love with the art of mixing and blending different tracks, shaping a unique sound.

His first steps were linked to sharing sets in online forums, mainly within the tech house and techno house genres. Over time, his style evolved into a more diverse proposal that integrates elements of deep, organic, progressive, melodic, and downtempo, always with house as the central axis.

Although music is not his main profession, he feels more connected to it every day. For him, mixing is almost therapeutic, and he seeks to transmit that sense of liberation to his listeners.

In recent years, he has had the opportunity to share sets on the official channel of Henry Saiz (one of his biggest influences) and to release a remix on his prestigious label, Natura Sonoris. A step forward on his path to carving out a place in the scene and bringing his music to more ears, more hearts, and more dance floors.

Nacido y criado en la Manchuela conquense, Niño Piña descubrió su amor por la música electrónica en la adolescencia, siendo el house su estilo favorito. De manera autodidacta comenzó a experimentar con software para DJs mientras estudiaba Arquitectura, y pronto quedó fascinado por el arte de la mezcla y la fusión de diferentes tracks, dando forma a un estilo propio.

Sus primeros pasos estuvieron ligados al intercambio de sets en foros especializados, con el tech house y el techno house como géneros predominantes. Con el tiempo, su sonido evolucionó hacia una propuesta más diversa, donde conviven elementos del deep, organic, progressive, melodic y downtempo, siempre con el house como eje central.

Aunque no vive de la música, cada día está más conectado con ella. Para él, mezclar es casi terapéutico y quiere que esa sensación de liberación llegue también a quienes lo escuchan.

En los últimos años ha tenido la oportunidad de compartir sets en el canal de Henry Saiz (una de sus mayores influencias) y de publicar un remix en su sello Natura Sonoris. Un paso más en el camino hacia su sueño: hacerse un hueco en la escena y llevar su música a más oídos y más pistas de baile.
