Monophonik (Live)
About
New Delhi-based Monophonik channels the quirks of free-flowing, synth-driven electronic music. He creates unique soundscapes based on machine-oriented notions and concepts in his productions and live shows. His hybridized sound wields a wizardry of synthesizers, mixing the old-school analog realm with the modern-day digital tools.
Delving into the nuances and imperfections of synths, Monophonik aims at conjuring stripped-down, sometimes intense, and temperamental sounds, in an attempt to humanize his music. A rave archaeologist, digging through time, blending his Indian heritage, the wild flavors of the UK and EU, and the sheer audacity of dance culture into his music. Monophonik’s releases often span through breaks, acid, techno, and trance with hints of Goa, Delhi, and beyond and his collaborations with artists from across the globe transcend borders and genres. Monophonik’s EP’s and singles have found homes on labels like Rhythm Section, Radiant Love, Mala Junta, Reel Long Overdub, and India-based Qilla Records, BoxoutFM. Recordings, Krunk Kulture, to name a few.
Monophonik has established his ground as one of India’s most sought-after live acts and has taken his live modular shows to festival stages like India’s Magnetic Fields Festival, Boiler Room, and Mixmag Lab. More recently he’s also performed in venues in the UK, Thailand, Vietnam, and more with his peak time, high-energy sets.
