Monokle, a genre crossing electronica producer, occasional fisherman and graduated psychologist from St. Petersburg delivers our 34th Mutecast. Monokle's musical path lays in the more ambient route. That makes sense, since after doing some research we found out that he's mostly inspired by Eric Satie and by silence. His music is at times intense, making you glide along his beats and basses. But the real proof of his love for ambient and classic minimal music lays in his melodies, and in one of his more critically acclaimed track 'embers', released on KI Records at the end of 2012. A track with a long stretching intro, but slowly evolving into a dance floor monster.
In this 36 minutes mix Monokle showcases some well thought out and daring ideas and a heap of different genres; breakbeats, air, landcapes, classical music, experimental stuff, hypnotizing loops topped off with fantastic transitions. It's all in there. While listening we had daydreams of being on a small boat, in the middle of a lake. On the one hand soaking in the landscapes, surrounded by silence, freezing cold. But on the other hand being lost in your own world and thoughts. One with the outside aswell as the inside. It's monokle's world. Enjoy!
