JOHN MONKMAN PRESENTS INNOVATIVE RELEASE ‘META’
John Monkman makes a highly anticipated return to the spotlight with ‘Meta’.
Meta is an experiment, paving the way for a new kind of release format that embraces the new world of the NFT. There will be two versions of 'Meta' released: the original Extended Mix, which is limited to 50 copies and available to download and stream exclusively as an NFT, and a shorter mix of the track, which is available to stream and download on all DSPs.
Monkman says:
"NFT's are reshaping/turning things upside down. They offer endless possibilities of how to release music whilst creating new ways to engage with the community…things were getting a little stale, so I'm excited to see where this new technology takes us."
Released on his imprint Beesemyer Music, Meta showcases Monkman's love of intricate, far-out modular sounds. The track is fused with an other-worldly vocal and follows on from his highly revered single 'Ecstasis,' co-produced with Pete Tong and released on Maceo Plex's label Ellum.
Asked how the track came about, Monkman says:
“the track started as a live jam on the Buchla Easel - after recording multiple takes, the main challenge was trying to make sense of the chaos - there’s a lot going on - the vocals really help in grounding the track’.
