John Monkman & Rinzen - Fade

Originally from NYC, I’m a 37 year old married father of two beautiful girls, I’m now down in music city (coincidentally, I was a musician when I was younger but no longer these days). Nashville is a great city for people passionate about music, it’s been incredible to live here. I’m an annual Bonnaroo attendee, and other fun fests I’ve been to are Coachella, Lollapalooza, ACL, Bonnaroo, EDC, and will be attending Bourbon and Beyond this summer.

I have an extremely eclectic taste in music. My musical journey roughly is as follows:

Dave Matthews Band was my first concert with friends and no parents. From there I got into classic rock and dipped my toes in the jam band scene. I went full send on Phish when I got into them and they were my favorite for years. Through Phish and all of their covers, I got into pretty much everything haha. Indie was a big part of my of life during college and my time living solo in NYC, and now I’m a fan of electronic music primarily.

If I had to state my favorites these days, my top three would be Four Tet, Radiohead, and Frightened Rabbit. My kids already seem to love music, they must take after their father!

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.

Attican is a progressive house DJ and music producer hailing from the Pacific Northwest. Known for his captivating blend of euphoric melodies and deep basslines, Attican’s sound creates an immersive journey that resonates with both casual listeners and dedicated dance music fans. His tracks have gained steady support from tastemakers in the electronic music scene, and he's currently preparing to release a new series of singles that showcase his evolution as an artist.

From his first exposure to electronic music in the early 2010s, Attican has consistently pushed boundaries. What started as a fascination with underground sounds soon transformed into a full-blown passion for music production and DJing. Attican’s versatility is evident in his ability to craft anthemic tracks that still carry a deeply personal touch. Unlike many of his peers, he’s able to evoke emotion through layered melodies while keeping the groove intact—making his productions as much about the journey as they are about the drop. He’s been praised by industry leaders for his "ability to create timeless moments on the dance floor" and has supported major acts at venues from intimate underground clubs to festival stages.

What sets Attican apart is his deep connection to the Pacific Northwest, an area known for its diverse and independent musical scene. Drawing inspiration from everything around him—from the foggy forests to the electric energy of Seattle's underground dance music scene—Attican’s music is as much a reflection of the landscape as it is a product of his experiences. As he continues to grow as an artist, his music evolves with him, bringing an ever-changing yet cohesive vibe to his growing fan base.

Looking ahead, Attican is gearing up for a string of new releases and live shows in 2025, promising fresh sounds and even more immersive performances.
