This week's guest is MonkeyRascal. Known for his bold, genre-defying sound, MonkeyRascal shares the story behind his name and how it reflects his mischievous and playful approach to art. From his early experiences with psychedelics to his fascination with wonky, heavily swung drum grooves, he reveals the personal journey and creative process that shaped his unique style.

MonkeyRascal talks about his love for unconventional sounds, like crunchy, saturated drums and "crummy" samples, and how he balances experimentation with anchoring grooves to keep listeners engaged. We compare his music to Cubism, explaining how fragmented and refracted elements create a “hall of mirrors” effect in his tracks. From layering reverb tails to building unconventional grooves, he reveals how his unique approach to sound design makes his music both quirky and immersive.

The conversation touches on everything from the melancholy influence of Radiohead and Flying Lotus to the clever experimentalism of G Jones and Mr. Carmack. MonkeyRascal shares how negative space, tension, and unexpected drops add emotional depth to his music, making it perfect for dance battles and headphone sessions alike. He also reflects on live performances, the evolution of bass music, and the delicate balance between chaos and structure in electronic production.
