CIRCUIT 900 - Sapientia EP - 08/02/2018

“Ability to apply relevant knowledge in an insightful way.”

More than two years after their first collaboration, Monstart Records and Circuit 900 are proud to announce the release of “Sapientia” on February the 8th, 2019, the new EP by the Danish duo and 14th release of the French label.
Nicolas Hansen and Jens Madsen created Circuit 900 a couple of years after meeting and exchanging music on Soundcloud. Since “Couch King”, their first EP (also released on Monstart), the two producers developed a percussive and drum-focused music with inspirations from uk bass, tribal house and uk funky.

After Andara EP (Sept 18), their last release supported by DJ oneman, Murlo, Akito and many others, Circuit 900 is back with Sapientia, a drum focused EP witnessing the progression of the duo toward a filtered sound focusing on the little details that make everything within the variations and construction of tracks. It also blends different styles, with a result of tracks fitting with house sets as well as techno sets.
“It’s a collection of tracks that’s been underway for a year or two. All drum-focused tracks that hopefully shows a bit of variety and the scope of our sound.“

Syn’s remix of Lines, showing her craft to challenge the track and breathe new life into it.
“ Circuit 900 sent me it last year and if was instantly a favourite of mine. The original track was very close to my style so I flipped it into something that scavenges their drums but also brings a completely different energy.”

The cherry on top of the cake, the second remix produced by Sylvere, French artist associated equally with the underground Parisian club scene and the hybrid percussive styles of East London basements. As he notes : “This remix is in the image of their last EP, namely a piece that puts a little bit of pressure. There are rhythmic UK Funky and Trance synths specific to my music.”

This EP is a turning point of a new year full of eclectic releases for the Montpellier/Paris based label and promoter Monstart, also celebrating its 10th birthday this year.
Once Ouanounou’s and Chatte Chatoyante teeth were cutted as promoters, Monstart was born. Renown Dj and visionary dancer, they decided to infuse their science of the scene into everything they touched, making Monstart hard to miss when you like to groove.
Each EP is a love letter to the clubbing and physical experiences it offers as you can feel listening to the impressive Monstart Vol.5 compilation, released in 2017.

As Ouanounou notes: “Dance and music must be associated for us, we can’t even imagine a party without more than just DJs performing”.
Turn it up loud and dive into Monstart’s world.

Circuit 900 - Sapientia EP [MNSTRT014]

Bermuda is a territory in the Atlantic Ocean spread across over a hundred of islands which have been luring holidaymakers for decades. More importantly though, it is a cultural melting pot with majority of population being of African descent and strong ties to the Caribbean, Great Britain, the US and Portugal being inherent in the country's past and present.

The islands are also a birthplace of Obeka (@djobeka), a young DJ and producer whose music is a perfect testament to Bermuda's Afro-Caribbean identity. Having moved to the UK aged 16, he started channeling his childhood years of absorbing the music via carnivals, handmade sound systems and riddim culture through the lens of British electronic/club music scene. The latest outcome of these experiments comes in a form of 'Move Like So EP'.

The release opens with a somewhat murky and dystopian 'Duppy Drum'. Containing a nod to Afro-Caribbean culture in its very title ('duppy' is a word of African origin widely used in Caribbean beliefs), the song features the sound of West African drums recorded live. 'Test System' - a first ever track with Obeka himself on vocals - brings surprising reminiscence of Otto von Schirach distorted voice heard on Modeselektor tracks all those years ago. To wrap things up, the title song ('Move Like So') is set at a lower tempo and has been written in a natural movement of dancehall as Obeka remembers it from back home.

Monstart was born 16 years ago, out of love and celebration. The fruit of the meeting of Ouanounou (DJ) and Chatte Chatoyante (dancer-performer). 

With its pack of artists coming from all over the world, the label has been exploring club music and culture. Not caring about adhering to one specific genre, they draw from all of their combined influences to create a hybrid project.

With one idea in mind : to be together while celebrating the richness of human singularities.

Since 2009, 80 events mixing music and performances, 21 releases on the label (EPs and compilations) and a 5 years residency on Rinse France have allowed them to express their own vision of club music. After 5 years of Rinse’s residency,  Monstart is experiencing a new chapter with their homies of Piñata Radio by starting a musical journey, becoming their new monthly hosts. 

“For us dance and music are inseparable. We approach them in a personal, visceral and inclusive way. We don’t care about fitting in.”

Since 2019, the label has opened its publishing and sync branch named 'AudioScore', producing music for worldwide advertising campaigns.
