Madd Rod is a sound explorer setting no boundaries for his explorations in music production. With this long-awaited return to Inner Shah, the label boss unveils the work he has been working on, showing futurism through retro aesthetics.

The EP — named after the lead single, Against Hate Speech — is a collection of three dance tracks paced by strong basslines and vintage percussion.

The first track exalts a groovy mood, recurring to acid synths and bouncy stabs. A hypnotic riff drives the piece while rhythmic elements come and go, only making room for spacey leads that extol its aesthetics.

Face to Face relies on heavy toms and a fast bassline to set a rather dark tone that clashes with its dreamy chords. The track tells the story of two strangers who meet in a sweaty room, make eye contact and engage in a dance that lasts until sunrise.

"Echoes and Illusions" is poetically divided between bright vocal stabs and dystopic leads. Its dark tone is not a call to war but to the frontline — instrumentally shouting: life is good, the world can wait, and you deserve it.

The EP redefines the spectrum of Madd Rod's soundscape, giving hints of what to expect next. The promise is clear: faster and hypnotizing rhythms and a return to the past with the eyes fiercely set on the future.

The Cut (Marc DePulse Remix)

Eating Snow - The Cut (Marc DePulse Remix)

Artbat combo is composed by Artur & Batish, two ukranian artists whom are doing great and unique electronic music. Maybe you know them by 'Uplift', released on Diynamic. But in this debut release on Suara they show their musical palette in three amazing original tracks. 'Trip' has potential to be the track of the night if you play it in the right moment, magic breakdown. 'Knup' reminds of old progressive house tracks with a 21st century feeling and 'Wall' is for powerful sets, a track leaded by a mental arpeggio ready to burn your brain. For remix duties we count on Simon Baker under his nickname B.K.R. with a fat bassline remix of 'Wall' and the mighty Lauer take us to the EBM golden days with an industrial post-punk influenced version of the same track. One of the most mature Suaras releases over the last months.

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.
