Berlin-based Monolake (Robert Henke) has been working
on sound and music projects since 1995. Henke in conjunction
with a collection of friends (Porter Ricks, Substance, etc.),
helped organize the Basic Channel and Chain Reaction labels
in Berlin. While each individual in this small group has a
unique approach to his work, there is nevertheless a common
thread tying the label-mates together, one that's less concerned
with creating dance music and more to do with working with
sound and experience. Indeed, Henke has stated that he's not
a musician at all. Stripping music down to its basic elements
(and sometimes beyond), Monolake and a handful of other artists
are responsible for a new genre called, for better or worse,
minimal. Of this vein music critic Simon Reynolds notes, »It's
no use for neophytes; this is the shit you get into after
you've been through all the other stuff, after it's sensitized
your hearing to the point where the micro-tweaks and infra-nuances
are exhilarating.«
