John Monkman makes his debut on Noir Music and this guy has been on my radar for quite some time now due to releases on Kompakt, Crosstown Rebels and Get Physical. I got the Trusting Source track about 6 months ago and basically signed it after one listen. Since then both John and I have been road- testing, talking about the track and John has been adjusting the track to dancefloor perfection. In the process of it all I suggested John that he made a 2-tracker instead of a single release of Trusting Source. He knocked me off my feet with first listen of Lacquer which is another genius piece of music from the London-based producer.Both tracks are super groovy. Trusting Souce being the classic and timeless effort and Lacquer the more experimental and forward thinking piece.Hit play and check out this fantastic double a-side release.

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.

Medicine Weaving of Eros and Wisdom from the 5 elements, the 7 directions (East, South, West, North, Heavens, Earth and Innerverse), with a mission to rise above and beyond the cupola of duality and being guided by Gaia to be a healing presence for this Earth for as long as possible.

We came out of the big bang as fission
Can we go back in as fusion? No. It could kill us all.
In the primordial state, there was no love, only Creation
Love is what we make of this
Love is needing perfection
We must become a waterfall
And get everyone wet as rain

“Love is the greatest force in the universe in that there is a great power in unconditional love. Love is God.” - Anon

The term "Twin Flames" came to me in late 2014 to explain an activation that described how my relationships could be so archetypal and profoundly healing. Energetically, I was holding space for unconditional love and nurture and upholding and respecting the freedom for others to truly know themselves on the deepest levels possible. 

After reading about the "Mission" of the Twin Flames, I knew it was my path as a consummate Lover. Seeking the truth of this mission, I followed a shamanic path which confirmed and supported my individual growth. It led me to join a shamanic lineage and adopt their #1 requirement which was to seek out the empowerment of the divine feminine and thereby drop all western attachment models and explore LGBTQ energetic connections (without discrimination against age, race, height, deformity nor disability). This practice opened up the ability to love unconditionally. I then discovered the relationship models being practiced in the Tamera community in Portugal as a means of living to "Love without Fear". I adopted their views on open relationship as a vehicle for further self-discovery through knowledge of and intimacy with "other". 

The Twins are here to heal dysfunction at the level of self, others, nature, their lineage, and teach humanity how life on New Earth is to be like, outside of the illusions we have taken for granted for such a long time. Twins are first to reach this balance and then support spreading this via ripple effect and the connection to twins all over the planet. The love frequency they emit when joined is said to affect the planetary grid for everyone's evolution

Twins are the role model for new relationship and family templates, free from dependencies, duties, contracts, compromise. In a world without fear and insecurity, where everyone is valued for what they are, this will be the new normal.
