The arcade was very busy on a Friday night, people from all over the city would come to test their luck on the fancy machinery with the promise of a glorious prize just around the corner. One man however, was not here to make use of delicate skill or precision but to throw his weight around in a sultry and overwhelming fashion. He was known as a big puncher and he was here to hit the bag into oblivion. A small crowd of hard types had gathered beside the machine as he approached with a sense of promise and vigour. The fist would bang hard...

Monotronique is set to release a ten track album on the ever abstract Opal Tapes, the British label which has amassed a reputation for the odd and obscure. This one is made up of heavy hitting electronics and rugged escapism.

PREMIERE: Monotronique - Big Puncher [Opal Tapes]
