Monolake is a German electronic music project, initially consisting of members Gerhard Behles and Robert Henke, Monolake is now perpetuated by Henke while Behles focuses on running music software company Ableton, which they founded in 1999 together with Bernd Roggendorf. From 2004, Torsten Pröfrock became a member of Monolake. Monolake's minimal, dub-influenced techno helped establish the sound of the Chain Reaction label, also located in Berlin, subsequently using their own.

Could you talk a bit about how you approached sound quality in making this album? How did it affect the composition process, and how has it affected the final results? I find the term 'sound quality' a bit questionable; at least, it has to be defined before any discussion about it makes sense. In most situations it doesn’t matter, but sometimes - or for some kind of processing - the difference can be stunning. For the resampling process, the same rules apply for the recording, so I decided to produce the new album entirely in 96kHz.

Notes

Free download from the Monolake website.

"This track is from June 2006. I found it on a backup drive whilst searching for something else. When I made it, I soon felt something is missing, it sounded old and nostalgic too me, a dead end, a film watched way too often. Now, i feel even more distant to it. During the last two years my musical interest moved away from anything that could be labeled 'minimal techno', a genre that became totally empty, uninspired and formalized. A straight bassdrum beat does not make me dance anymore.

However, I like the color of it, this reminiscence to this certain sub-genre of Chain Reaction / post Basic Channel tracks. If I would have done it in 1995 - fantastic.
Enjoy it as nice background. I tested it for washing dishes, sorting invoices and watering flowers. It worked quite well.

And if you want to get an idea of my current vision of electronic club music come to a Monolake concert."
