UPFRONTBEATS

John Monkman’s ‘Entropy’ is the first of two singles to come on his Beesemyer label this summer.

London-based Monkman is a notable presence in the house & techno scene with releases on labels like Ellum Audio and Kompakt. He is a renowned studio wizard who has also worked on music with legends like Bryan Ferry while taking his ever-evolving audio-visual, live set everywhere from Warung Beach Club to Glastonbury. His lush textured and detailed beats have given him plenty of Beatport chart success and this new single is likely to do the same.

The multi-layered ‘Entropy’ is an edgy and futuristic cut. The drums make for a heavy groove while a whole world of malfunctioning machines, withering synths and smeared pads bring the drama. The ever-evolving track is evocative of a cosmic battle in deepest darkest space and is sure to bring some real drama to the dance floor.

This is another standout track from John Monkman.
