John Monkman & Pete Tong - Ecstasis [Ellum Audio]

Hello Soulful Techno lovers I am UK based artist Michael Walken.

I first started getting into the minimal techno and electro from places like Germany properly around 2004/2005 I believe, Gabriel Ananda was incidentally one of the very first artists I remember really loving the sound of. I believe Ihre Personliche Glucksmelodie was one of the first I heard. I had been moving through genres of dance music since being around 11 after hearing The Prodigy. But when I first heard Gabriel and this blend of minimalist techno and electro I immediately loved the playful hooks and upbeat melodies and electronic sounds. The techno I had heard before was mainly through big bands such as Underworld and The Prodigy but really got excited by this fresh upbeat melodic european sound.

So getting speaking to Gabriel last year, being one of my favourite and first techno artists I heard was very exciting. Gabriel liked the first track I sent, which spurred me on too make more. Firstly I had a middle eastern riff that I jammed which went on to be Peace In The Middle East. Definitely my finest solo work to date. I am no Bob Dylan but I always loved the protest song so Peace In The Middle East really just became a subtle protest song I suppose. I think it has drama and beauty, and the silence and undisturbed music that peace can bring in the interlude in the main breakdown.

The second track Peace Agreement leads on from Peace In The Middle East. Imagining there has been a long standing Peace Agreement which sticks. I was lucky enough and completely bowled over when Gabriel said he would collaborate on this track. I have had some great feedback in the past from some big names such as Hernan Cattaneo, SLAM, Orbital, BIllie Ray Martin but being able too actually throw ideas round and collaborate on the same track as someone of Gabriels calibre and a favourite artist of mine was a dream come true! This led to it being much deeper and warmer in its ambience with a much better structure and a track I will be immensely proud of.

Lastly I already had a very dreamy electronica folky track that I remixed for a friend J.Perkins which Gabriel liked the vibe of immediately. And in corona times I think some warm optimism like this would be welcome. I think it leads on nicely on the ep, starting with drama imagining peace and by the end in a warm daydream in an almost perfect world.

Thanks Gabriel and Soulful Techno for giving me the chance to showcase myself. I hope people enjoy!

Nolan & Luke Brancaccio „See The Stars“

See The Stars (Stelios Vassiloudis Remix) 
See The Stars (Come Closer Remix) 

Long time Mobilee fans will be pleased to hear Nolan & Luke Brancaccio's "See The Stars“, which encompasses that light and deep much loved Mobilee sound, with a future facing, breaks-infused cosmic journey through growling swelling synths, airy percussion, and evolving evocative vocal and instrumental story lines that interplay into a unique transcendental electronic trip pointing skyward.

We are thrilled to welcome this strong pairing to Mobilee, after collaborations on Crosstown Rebels & Bedrock. 

Nolan returns after recent EP "6AM / Drifter" became one of our favourite releases of 2021. His unique inspired genre-breaking creativity fits with the Mobilee ethos, and he never fails to deliver a quality record that stands the test of time. Luke Brancaccio brings a strong history from amongst the stalwarts of the boundary pushing progressive~melodic world, with many a release on Bedrock, collaborations with Nick Muir and John Digweed, and recent remixes of iconic classics including Rockers Revenge’s “Walkin’ On Sunshine” & Beth Hirsch’s “All I Need” for Last Man Music (legendary label of Maceo Plex, Solomun, UNKLE and Bookashade).

Stelios Vassiloudis' Mobilee debut takes the track to the club. Athens based Stelios is a rising force in electronic music and this rework showcases his depth of talent. Forceful drums drive the vocal message into a late-night stomper, with a sense of space through which to "See The Stars".

Completing the record, Russian stalwart Mike Spirit's alter ego Come Closer returns to the label after the success of "Milla Ella" EP with an ethereal interpretation that transports us immediately to an inner world of darkness and flashing light, further invoking Leyzen's all-encompassing experiential creation.

John Monkman

Beesemyer | Siamese | Kompakt | Ellum | Anjunadeep 

All Inquiries - Claire @ beesemyermusic.com

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.
