Latest Releases

My new remix of " Some Good Here" by Rinzen & Anaphase  is out now, on Lane8's label "This Never Happened".

Listen on Spotify  ‣ https://open.spotify.com/artist/61wk5...
Download from Beatport ‣https://www.beatport.com/release/some...

"When I first heard the original of 'Some Good Here' I was instantly hooked - with the world on pause, it was the perfect antidote and tool to allow me to sit back and get lost in the moment.

The vocal performance from Anaphase is outstanding, hence from the outset I knew the vocals were going to take center stage. The original song has two very distinct sections  - there's the more intimate verse that draw you in, and then there's the soaring, higher register sections which lift the track. Trying to keep things as pure as possible I wanted a single sequence/melody - something that would sit along side the vocal and accompany it on its journey.  After much experimenting I ended up using the the Yamaha CS80 - with its slightly wonky pitch and rich character, they turned out to be a great pairing and I am really happy where its landed"

Rinzen ft Anaphase - Some Good Here (John Monkman Remix)

John Monkman makes a highly anticipated return to the spotlight with ‘Meta’.

Download on Opensea: https://opensea.io/collection/meta-by-john-monkman

Meta is an experiment, paving the way for a new kind of release format that embraces the new world of the NFT.  
There will be two versions of ‘Meta’ released; The original - Extended Mix, that is limited to 50 copies and available  to download and stream exclusively as an NFT, as well as a shorter mix of the track -  available to stream and download on all DSP’s.

Monkman says:

 “NFT’s are reshaping/turning things upside down. They offer endless possibilities of how to release music whilst creating new ways to engage with the community…things were getting a little stale, so I’m excited to see where this new technology takes us”

Released on his imprint Beesemyer Music, Meta showcases Monkman’s love of intricate, far-out modular sounds. The track is fused with an other-wordly vocal and follows on from his highly revered single ‘Ecstasis’, co-produced with Pete Tong and released on Maceo Plex’s label Ellum.

Asked how the track came about, Monkman says:

“the track started as a live jam on the Buchla Easel - after recording multiple  takes, the main challenge was trying to make sense of the chaos - there’s a lot going on  - the vocals really help in grounding the track’.

John Monkman returns to Ellum Audio with a pair of well-crafted cosmic techno tracks.

London-based John Monkman is the founder of Beesemyer Music but also serves up his rich sounds on Kompakt, Last Night On Earth and Drumcode. He works across multiple styles and as much as making music for the club, he also cooks up richly atmospheric and emotive music. He has worked with Pete Tong, Bryan Ferry and Nile Rodgers and when on tour, he plays live in the world's best venues.
First up is the immediately arresting 'Perception' with its flashes of synth, whirring drones and textured drums. Spoken words bring a sense of paranoia as twitchy effects, icy percussion and swinging drums all work you into a frenzy. Monkman took inspiration from a Timothy Leary interview for the record envisioning “a phrase repeating with a synthesizer response, in essence a conversation between man & machine”.

Second cut 'Impulse' is a more groove-driven tune with kicks that rock back and forth under slapping hits. The synth designs are futuristic and the whole vibe is one of intergalactic exploration of the unknown.
Both of these hugely accomplished tracks will bring a scene of cinematic drama to any set.

Tracklist:

1. Perception
2. Impulse

John Monkman's 'Entropy' is the first of two singles to come on his Beesemyer label this summer. London-based Monkman is a notable presence in the house & techno scene with releases on labels like Ellum Audio and Kompakt. He is a renowned studio wizard who has also worked on music with legends
like Bryan Ferry while taking his ever-evolving audio-visual, live set everywhere from Warung Beach Club to Glastonbury. His lush textured and detailed beats have given him plenty of Beatport chart success and this new single is likely to do the same.

The multi-layered 'Entropy' is an edgy and futuristic cut. The drums make for a heavy groove while a whole world of malfunctioning machines, withering synths and smeared pads bring the drama. The ever-evolving track is evocative of a cosmic battle in deepest darkest space and is sure to bring some real drama to the dance floor.

John Monkman lands on his own label Beesemyer with new single The Fountain.
Monkman is an exhilarating live performer renowned for his remarkable quality in the studio and on the stage. He has released on Kompakt, Anjunadeep and Ellum and taken his craft around the world from London to Amsterdam, Melbourne, Mumbai, Beirut, Los Angeles and beyond.
The Fountain is an exhilarating new cut with powerful tech drums and rich cinematic synths combined with classy operatic vocals that really stand out. They bring bright celestial energy and a sense of urgency that traps you in the loops and takes you ever higher. Dramatic claps and breakdowns add drama to this standout cut.

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.
