Polygon Cities
Monolake
TECHNO
MONOLAKE is an open project dedicated to computergenerated music, founded in 1995 by ROBERT HENKE and GERHARD BEHLES They were impressed and influenced by minimal techno music and drum&bass and at the same discovered the sonic richness and sophistication of academic computer music
Polygon Cities is techno music beyond the standard grooves and sounds usually found in this genre It not only works on the dancefloor but also offers an abundance of composed and carefully placed details, which reveal themselves when listening to the tracks more often
The music is a journey into morhping, pulsating soundscapes and into permutative repetition, the elements that define the signature style of Monolake Fascination for technology, a sense of coldness and danger, a romantic escape, but also warmth, and euphoria
Monolake tracks have also featured on CSI Miami as well as accumulating two National tours of Australia with strong radio & print media support for each
XLR8R MAGAZINE \"Best Artist of 2004\" GUARDIAN \"by mixing his music with more contemporary elements, Henke turns techno into a canvas where he can create new hybrid sounds, thereby reinvigorating the art form and creating the most distinctive dance album in years CMJ WEEKLY \"the vibe is dark and wintry, with a sound that emotes the feeling of being locked in a closet without a key MEAN STREET LA \"easily one of the more orwardthinking electronic releases of the year
VITAL WEEKLY \"the drone is calming, like some kind of sleepwalking ether released to alter and immobilize the once lit characters built on this planet The versatility of Monolake makes its landing GRIDFACECOM \"Beats and the spaces between them are key to Monolakes oeuvre Each lengthy track is an experience, an immersive journey into accumulated late nights FREE WILLIAMSBURG \"the fluttering sounds on the track \"Tetris\" sound like bats to me, spreading their wings and diving headlong into the night The new Monolake is bat music for bat people, or industrial glitch for club zombies
