It's Never Too Late is the debut EP from Parisian techno artist M.O.L.N, featuring four tracks which demonstrate a wide dynamic range of production techniques.
 
The opening track Buchla gets straight to the point, blending elements of experimental, west-coast synthesis with pure peak-hour energy. It begins with an ominous, sidechain-ducked drone from the Buchla 208 complex oscillator before dropping into a heavy, 142 BPM kick/hat pattern. The 208 adds a sharp, percussive line shortly afterwards which persists through the length of the track in varying envelopes and modulation levels. “Where’s the water?”
 
Run Away They Are Already There starts with detuned elements on the 208, then the track quickly comes to a hard stop. Broken-beat kicks break the silence, then brighter timbres take over on the drop. M.O.L.N knows the rules and chooses to break them. Into The Psy Trap and 4 Bells are fit for the closing hours, showing M.O.L.N’s ability to create harmonious and ethereal atmospheres equally well. Pleasant melodic lines, lush reverbs, and slowly evolving pads are the defining features of these tracks.
 
M.O.L.N cites influence from early Detroit techno artists such as Jeff Mills, and he produces with a mixed hardware/software workflow. It's Never Too Late is his statement to “just hit record” and release some tracks: Darkroom Bureau found him with a Soundcloud search for “buchla,” so the strategy seems to have worked."

Dax J’s Utopian Surrealism observes our transition into a new dystopian era.

ALPHA - Out now - https://ffm.to/johnmonkman

Alpha is my first release on Henri Bergmann’s Automatik imprint, and it’s a track that came from getting lost in shifting rhythms and tension-driven grooves. I wanted to make something that feels hypnotic and always moving, something that pulls you into the low end and keeps you there. It carries a lot of the UK textures that shaped me and sits in that space between raw energy and control. Grateful to share this one with you, and excited for it to finally be out in the world. Let me know how it hits you on the floor.

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.
