monolake (Robert Henke - Berlin) produces incredible sound and the software used to create it. After playing AK & WLG we managed to show Robert our wonderful coasts, suffice to say he gave NZ the big thumbs up!

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.«
