About
Official website: http://www.mono211.com/
Monotonik is a net.music.label that _exclusively_ releases music online in the mp3 format. All of our releases are freely downloadable and distributable under a Creative Commons license that allows free non-commercial distribution, and we've been releasing .mp3 and .mod files online since May 1996. The label was founded by Simon 'h0l' Carless as an outlet for talented electronic musicians who weren't getting the attention they deserved.
Since then, Monotonik has released over 300 tracks from a variety of talented idm-ish electronic musicians from all over the world, including such artists as Lackluster (DeFocus/Merck), Bogdan Raczynski (Rephlex), Sense (Neo-Ouija), Tim Koch (Surgery/DeFocus), BrothomStates (Warp), Proem (Merck/Hydrant), Fun Tourist (Worm Interface/Sony Finland), Vim! (Surgery/Oggum), and many more.
Monotonik and its sister breakbeat sublabel Mono211 have been through a lot since '96. We've been featured in "Spin" magazine, have soundtracked a Sony Playstation game, were invited exhibitors at the Ars Electronica festival in Austria, have been played out on radio stations from Australia to Slovenia, featured on a Webby-nominated weirdass radio station, and have had millions of downloads of our tracks.
If you like the music we release, please support the real-world (CD/vinyl) releases of our artists, or if you're a label owner, sign them up to a deal.
If you're interested in releasing music on Monotonik (or need to get hold of us for any other reason!), then mail us at mono211@mono211.com with specific WWW links to listen to your music, and we'll check your material out and try to get back to you.
We do this for fun. Music is great, and giving great music away for free is even better. Hope you dig it.

Idmonster "Preloved EP" (mtk185) Jun 17
After a long absence from Monotonik (his last release for us was back in 2002!), we're delighted to welcome back UK-based musician Pendle Poucher, aka Idmonster, with a 3-track compilation of rather wonderfully varied electronic music, 'Preloved EP'.

"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Feel free to download my music!
