So here it is; VaderMonkey's newest album.

This album features an eclectic diversity to electronic dance music and has been designed to be a bookmark in his musical chapter. This album introduces his alternative alias TEKNO Monkey and also features some of the most exciting producing talent, that he has been privileged to work with.

VaderMonkey's diverse influences are showcased in this project, with his alternative look on high energy dance music. His ambition to push boundaries and perceptions of the genres that would otherwise be seen as a common style, have lauded support from many corners of the hard dance music industry.

Featured in this album are artists who've collaborated to create a diverse wealth of sound and energy. Such featured artists are: JLF, Damien Blanes, LOK-E & Mania-B.

There maybe more music to come from the VaderMonkey and his alter ego TEKNO Monkey, but enjoy this installment of his musical adventures.

In a Barcelona home pulsing with the early sounds of DJ Sisu, Dany BPM, and Javi Boss, a young Nekrohard learned that intensity in music is more than volume.
“Those artists were literally the soundtrack of my home… Sisu taught me feeling within electronic music, Dany BPM the power of clear, addictive rhythm, and Javi Boss that intensity that breaks through walls,” he recalls. The lessons were subtle but profound: rhythm, emotion, and narrative could hit harder than any speaker. It was the foundation for a lifetime obsession with sound.Portable speakers

His first experiments with transforming feeling into music came through a childhood rap group. Vulnerability became rhythm, and words became release. “It was my first school of artistic honesty… there is no sound without emotion behind it,” he reflects. Life, however, had other plans. Responsibilities, work, and study pulled him away from music. The obsession became a memory, dormant yet unbroken.
