Monolab - Music since 1999

The weeks have passed again, and a lot has happened internally at Monolab. Let's start with the new release.

Release 64 - Cumshot is a fat disco house track by Burt Freedom. The finest disco stuff with a heavy bassline and guaranteed repeat performances.

In addition to the music, we've also found what we were looking for in terms of web space and a new home. We're therefore more than well-prepared for next year. Thanks to the new web space, we finally have the opportunity to bring the fat Monolab megamixes by Lee'o / Psimax to the public. Three mixes are waiting for you and will also be available as a special release in the next few days. There will also be a new house release from Cosmic called Schlittenfahrt. Look forward to it.

So, things are continuing in 2005, and with that in mind, we wish you a Happy New Year.

News 10/10/2004 - Double Release

Even though you might think things are getting pretty quiet around Monolab, we want to bring some fresh beats to your home sound system with today's two releases.

Release 62 - The Little Man and the Sea by Myrone is the finest electronic-style music.

Release 63 - Custom Physics is a small premiere, as it's the first DNB-inspired track on Monolab. A premiere of sorts, anyway, as it's the debut track from our new musician, Loolarge.

At this point, a big welcome to Loolarge, may the sounds always be with you. :)

The extremely long break between releases is partly due to my apartment move (various technical problems), partly due to a pinched nerve in my back, and finally, some serious stress at work. At the moment, I'm still having the problem that I can't track "interference-free" without starting a petty war with my new neighbors. :) It's all a matter of insulation and the necessary time.

But time will tell, and today we have two massively awesome tracks waiting for you. Let's get started.

Regards, Cosmic at Monolab Recording Studios :)

		News February 4, 2006 - New Musician & Music Howdy folks, Our beloved Monolab family has grown a little again. Sounds like the intro to new GZSZ cast members. :) Anyway, with Doc ../distortion, a musician from the old Tracker days is joining us. Now known through radio and television, he seems to be on a "back to his roots" trip, and his first release shows that he fits in well with the Monolab community. Release 67 - Dynamite Bitch is a fat house track not just for bitches. It's coming along well and is a must-download. So then, welcome Doc D. and off to the download, folks... News January 4, 2006 - Back in the country Howdy folks, After endless months of silence from Monolab, there's finally something for your ears again. Schranz and heavy trance should test your speakers quite well. Release 65 - Dynamic is a fairly monotonous Schranz track where bass and beats count. Already tested in the car and approved. Release 66 - Music from Beyond was once a gentle trance project, but after it hit the Schranz mixer, you probably won't notice it anymore. For technical reasons, only the MP3s are available at the moment. Apart from the fact that the trance track requires a lot of system resources and doesn't sound authentic on the current Renoise tracker, I want to conserve my traffic a bit. Over 20 MB of Renoise data, using just two loops, is pretty heavy. The sound and tone are getting better, but unfortunately, so are the bytes. I don't want to say much about myself personally, as the releases seem to speak a clearly positive language. Currently, all my stats are bright green, and I'm back to full life. If anyone, or a large number of people, wants to download the original Renoise 1.27 tracks, I'd like to optimize them and put them online. In that case, there's no way to know how many of you actually download the Renoise tracks. If so, please email me and we'll see what happens. So, friends of the night, this is just the beginning.
		News May 18, 2005 - Silence around Monolab Howdy folks, Our loyal fans must have been wondering for some time why nothing has happened at Monolab in recent months. First of all, I'm only posting this information on this page, as I believe it's only for the regulars and really isn't news that's posted online. I may be wrong, but that's how I see it. The story begins around the turn of the year. Lee'o's mixes and various tracks of my own were still planned. The only problem was that my physical condition deteriorated significantly in January. Constant fatigue, I was usually exhausted in the evenings, and this resulted in a complete lack of motivation. To be honest, I was glad that I was still able to manage my job halfway. The next weeks and months saw a severe viral infection, various flus, and other illnesses along those lines. I simply attributed it to the constant stress and massive overtime at work. In mid-March, I was proven wrong when I noticed a hardening in my body. The diagnosis and confirmation in the hospital, which then overwhelmed me, was, as most people probably correctly assume, that I had cancer. I was immediately admitted to the hospital and had surgery the very next day. This was in addition to countless tests, CT scans, and other examinations that are inevitable in such cases. The week spent waiting for the tissue sample results isn't particularly pleasant or enjoyable. However, when the result is extremely positive, as in my case, it literally takes a million pounds off your shoulders. The reason I waited so long to share this news is somewhat obvious. I didn't want to post anything here until I knew what was going to happen next. So, simply put, don't get the horses excited unnecessarily. After receiving the final report a few days ago, where nothing more was found in my body and all my values were perfectly green, I decided the time had come. Please forgive my silence and being left out in the cold, but believe me, the last few weeks have not been very pleasant and incredibly stressful. In the next few days, I'll only have radiation therapy, although I'm referring to the extent of my remaining treatment, and possibly a rehabilitation program. After that, I should be back to full life and find time for my favorite hobby. Certainly, my risk of developing cancer again has increased considerably, but I can also live to be 100. What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger. I can only recommend everyone to examine themselves regularly and also take advantage of preventative screenings. If I hadn't discovered it myself so early, including my preventative screenings, this story would have turned out much more negatively for me. Three to six months later, and it could well have been someone else writing this for me and adding "RIP" at the end. But always think positive. I estimate I should be back on top by the end of June or mid-July. I still have several tracks in stock, and the promised mixes are still waiting. This time, it definitely won't take half a year. Thanks for reading, and see you soon. Yours, Cosmic.
