Name: Out Of The Fray by Monolog Rockstars
Duration: 3 min 18 s
Description: Monolog Rockstars’ latest single can be considered an artistic impression of the sometimes quite volatile state of mind experienced by the band’s lead singer Ramon Lookman. A rough mix of beats, synthesizers and expressive vocals gives rise to a dark and brooding base for the icey and explicit vocal parts.

Almost Froze

so deep underground, it ain’t detectable by sonar gear,
way off the grid for anyone to ever hear it
some even consider it to be unfit for human ears
I’m however still releasing more and more each year

If you want to you can call it musical diarrhea,
it doesn’t matter to me as much as that you really feel that
it touches you, in ways you thought nothing should do
and that it sticks, as in the obvious example of the shoe

Been down here for so long I got used to the higher gravity
that’s how my body managed to extrapolate once it left its cavity
been pulling the moon a little closer every decade ever since
waiting for the day this  whole charade ends in a major tragedy

that’s why I’m down there, in my space gear, having fun
stocking short on human contact, excessives and the sun
That’s why my shit tastes great like grannies apple pies, cause,
I’m still digging for the diamonds, searching for the name of god
until I die

Underground Ultra

Monolog Rockstars’ latest single can be considered an artistic impression of the sometimes quite volatile state of mind experienced by the band’s lead singer Ramon Lookman.

Out Of The Fray

The whole thing started out in December 2014, when Julian Winter had discovered Fire to the Stars’ remix of Monolog’s Another Day. Julian immediately asked if he could have a multi-track version of the track from Fire to the Stars front man Tim Spelman, which Tim, as always, was happy to provide. 

Whilst Julian was working on his version of the Another Day remix / Made of Fire, Tim thought it would be a cool idea to return the favour by going all the way with a remix if Julian’s track LA, even arranging a real cello quartet for the string section. When both remixes came back to us, we were quite overwhelmed with the result, and saw no other option than to release both tracks as part of a larger Humanworkshop remix EP. Hence Metamorph was born.

YUKU stands as a counterpoint to contemporary arts culture and the way that it is experienced and consumed. In an age where music has been devalued to the point of performers being a list of names intended to sell tickets, impatience on the dancefloor, music being just another track in a playlist, and the visual artwork that accompanies it relegated to being a thumbnail in the corner of a player—we stand for those artists and listeners who take joy in immersing themselves in the worlds and journeys that are created by those who create. YUKU is an open and accepting forum of ideas, expression, and creativity that allows for those who are willing to drink in the emotions and concepts being communicated—an island of experience and stimulation for the kinds of people who like to be surprised, those who aren’t satisfied to hear and experience the same things time and time again, an oasis in the never-ending sea of digital information and consumerism.

We invite you to join us there...

Audeka — Leisure Lands EP
Featuring Monolog Rockstars

Release dates:
Worldwide release (digital & vinyl) — 22/10/2020

"The Leisure Lands EP is a collection of tracks that we feel could live in the same painting. In one corner, there are morning tones, calmness outside, and a little blue hint in the sky that the sun is coming out but isn’t here yet. In another corner, there are psychedelic rituals and ceremonies taking place. Over the past year, we selected projects that fit the image of this painting. We have been using some exciting new software and instruments to add new audio to our productions. Lately, primarily Kiloheartz Multipass, field recordings, our new cello, other oddities that one might find in their home, and digital synthesis."

The Lockdown

Driving Away

Monolog Rockstars are Leisure-B and  the brothers Bas and Ramon Lookman. Originally coming from their hometown Bussum in the Netherlands Leisure and the Lookman bros go way back, so their musical endeavours already crossed paths many times in the past. It took up until may 2013 until they decided to work together.

Leisure B. comes from a background of sound design, thus his sounds have a cinematic character and a dynamic flow, with influences ranging from triphop, to dub,  drum ‘n bass, jazz and old school. Leisure B. has been making music with various people/bands in different configurations. Originally a bass player, Leisure is a gifted producer that uses the studio as his personal playground, where styles and/or influences don’t matter as long as the end result is a piece de resistance in the nowadays mass media controlled pop culture. Leisure is based in Germany and is an important musical backbone for the area he lives in and for the musicians he works with.  

The Lookman bros have been making music together since the age of 8 years old, Bas was playing the guitar while Ramon played the piano. It didn’t take long before they were kicked out of music lessons, originating from their problems with authority and started to teach each other how to play the piano and guitar, making them autodidact in almost everything they do in the musical landscape. They played in various bands and worked together with many musicians, but always found time to compose songs together, varying from alternative rock and pop, to triphop and cross-overs, resulting in music that still not has a label in modern music. Ramon his main contribution lies in the creative area and vocals and keys, where Bas his main contribution is rhythm and bass, guitars and overall composition.
 
The roles of the members of Monolog are divers and different as they each have their own specialty. Leisure and Bas are in charge of sound, rhythm/bass and production value where Ramon usually is the creative coming up with the initial idea before running off to the next idea. If a good idea pops up, Bas and Leisure are normally the ones coming up with the know how and input to make it a real good song. Together they master all the musical elements essential for a high quality production. However they work with many musicians from different musical backgrounds making Monolog possible, ranging from guitar/bass and drum players, to percussionists, vocalists, violin/cello players and all the other musical elements needed to make Monolog possible.  

Monolog therefore is an ongoing creative collaboration, serving as a quality stamp for a mixture of styles thereby crossing the musical divide.
