The Rezday Special

Monosurround - Mushroomed [feat. VOiN]

The mad maestros of Maximalism have once again boarded their Outer Space Organ "OSO"* for a blast-off headed straight to the magnetosphere, on a one-way mission to give the soundtrack for the dancing lights across the  firmament. As the final installation taken from their album "Hello World", an extra-full tank of maximalism is injected into "Mushroomed", included on the EP with three brand-new remixes. 
Right after take off we experience Monosurround's rework, which smashes the outstanding vocal performance by the australian vocalist VOiN onto an highly energetic, epic instrumental of gigantomanic dimensions.
Just escaping the shockwave we arrive at the olymp of the Greek duo The Lifers. They refine the vocals with a pinch of chaos only to torpedo them with an almost rogue-electrified synthie-background and cosmic drums. Reaching the most outer section of the galaxy we meet Monosurround's old friends ProCon. The Canadiens wait on with a divinely wicked e-punk reincarnation, enriched with Countess Christsmasher's raving vocals and 80's style Space-Age melodies.

Monosurround mission control has cleared this puppy for lift-off and the countdown is running, so strap in, buckle up and prepare for some intergalactic audio combustion.

*OSO - Outer Space Organ: an instrumental spaceship equipped with a linear-chromatic keyboard. Tends to sudden dimension-jumps. Monosurround's traveling companion for the "Hello World" universe. Check out the artwork.

Message in a Bottle

"Making its first appearance on Vitalic's boldly innovative platform Citizen Records in 2006, "Cocked, Locked, Ready to Rock" represented a step forward for Ramtin & Erik towards a sound steeped in an aggressive sense of big-beat laden funk. 

On the eve of their forthcoming debut album Hello World, Monosurround inject new life into this hit, creating a package which bounds past its original incarnation in both musical scope and acoustic effect. While losing none of its underlying rebellious audacity, the "Summerized" mix imbues the song with a distinct symphonic disposition yielding a more thorough aural experience. Driven at its root by a fiercely assertive rock-tinged electro tenacity, a number of harmonic elements comes into play, giving at times the hint of a musical hybridization of the best of 1970s cop-drama themes and modern electro-pop. 

Also included in the release is the condensed Radio Edit, a Vocal Tool as well as the Club Edit of Summerized, which incorporates the hooks and dancefloor sensibility indispensable for any DJ wanting to provide a memorable moment. 

In successfully avoiding the simple, stale re-hashing of an old hit, Monosurround has created an entirely new beast that will breathe a bit of heat to the summer months, leaving everything in its wake washed in a cloud of steam."

Cocked, locked, ready to rock (The Gigler remix)

Flanked by new mixes to screw with your head, Monosurround – masters of Maximalism – are back on vinyl and digital for the second time on MS Records. Grab onto your heart, your eyes, and your ears and get ready for a new ecstatic experience in September 2010. A diamond in the rough, “All night long” - the original track from the album "Hello World" - is a rare treat to have in such a vinyl collection, but a great source of inspiration, as you’ll see.

Pow: Monosurround pump up the filth from their sexy “All night long” track with this impulsive and playful “Enfant Terrible” mix. The musical genius from the cool and calm original is picked up and batted into a dark parallel universe where crowds will be doing it hard and heavy on the dance floor, genuinely, all night long. Wow: immediately intriguing, Ziel 100 has created a terrifying little brother for Monosurround’s chilled and sexy number. Bare, timeless, and addictive, this sick little creation demands your attention before shooting you into cyberspace to orbit Monosurround’s Hello World Universe. It’s a heavily intoxicated dream – you’ll never want to leave.

As if this insane musical trip to the end of the universe and back is not enough, Monosurround present you with new top talent, winners of the All Night Long Remix competition: The House Council and Xyqph tear up the B side. This is a return to MS Records for Xyqph who certainly proved his quality on the last release "Hello World [Remixed]".

As ever with Monosurround, this release doesn’t just feel good and sound great, it is a complete work of art: the search for the sound of the universe is also sculpted in new and unique art work, so keep your eyes open as you race through the many parallel universes with Monosurround “All Night Long”.

Born out of a flash inspiration and musical necessity, the concept of Monosurround was first formed in 1999 in Berlin’s notorious Kreuzberg district from the restless minds of Ramtin Asadolahzadeh and Erik Schaeffer.

Monosurround wasted no time, immediately jumping into the fray with production on a pair of film soundtracks as well as a daring multi-piece live performance. They were driven by a desire to constantly re-define an ever-evolving and vibrant sound of modern electronic music. The following years saw Ramtin and Erik refine their sound and live performance, becoming a dynamic duo on stage, regularly providing the spark for dancefloors across the world with both their live sets and burgeoning DJ team. Unprecedented studio success paralleled their jet setting lifestyles, with the anthemic “I Warned You Baby” becoming a favorite of the summer of 2002, finding a home in both festivals and charts.

Further hits only reinforced Monosurround as being one of the up-and-coming providers of storming electronic club music and naughty electro-pop, with a flurry of releases on a remarkable list of labels such as Superstar Recordings, Moonbootique Records, Dream Beat, 1st Decade Records and most recently France’s leading Citizen Records (label of Vitalic). It is on this latest platform that the culmination of nearly 10 years of relentless and fanatical musical devotion gives birth to the long-awaited debut album from Monosurround, “Hello World”.
