Monolog
Danish artist mads lindgren aka monolog is a traveller in sound both figuratively and across the European continent, working intensely in the studio and on stage and taking care of various jobs in the audio industry. The musical activities started as a guitar player in various metal bands in the 90’s, but with distinct reference to the jazz guitar he grew up with. this combination resulted in an aggressive sound with complex harmonic structures, continuing into experiments in modern jazz with the vestbirk noiz ensemble playing kitchen utensils, power drills, ping pong balls and Akai samplers.
In 1999 he gave birth to monolog, a solo project coloured by the sound of his prior sonic endeavours, but adding an distinct experimental angle to his music production. At the same time gaining experience as a drum’n’bass dj he drew references to this in his musical scapes and structures through a series of clashes with extreme noise, idm, metal and jazz.
Later he moved to berlin where he still resides, performing numerous live shows both in Berlin and as far away as China, Russia and most of the European continent.
Mads Lindgren’s monolog project is constantly changing, aiming for extremities and seeking them musically, technically and emotionally. whether it is hammering the drums or creating soothing harmonies, these musical poles are given life by intense binding of contrasts. Recent albums can be summed up as steps towards a harder, more dense and direct form that is new and yet unheard to the monolog alias. a staggering combination of ferocious intensity and atmospheric moments built on a flashing kaleidoscope of sonic facets between slow, steamrolling dub attacks and razor sharp drum’n’bass blasts. Signified by being brilliantly produced and carefully composed offering dense overwhelming walls of forging beats, thundering bass drones, majestic keyboard lines and well-integrated samples.
Main Labels: Hymen, Ad nosieam, Subtrakt, Denovali, Ohm Resistence, Acre recordings, Acroplane recordings, Tender.
Side Projects and regular collaborators: Diasiva [Monolog & Swarm intelligence], A Dying user [Monolog & Karsten Pflum], Subheim (recently release the conviction EP), Dean Rodell (Releases on Methlab, Ad noiseam and Subtrakt), Ivan Shopov (recent releases on Subtrakt)

Toxxistenze
Julian was introduced to Drum and Bass at the age of 16 by attending small raves in his hometown.This is where he discovered his love for fast and driving breakbeats. Drum and Bass then became part of his life and the next obvious step was to get into DJing. He began to spin in 2020, at first hooked on Jump Up, later on experimenting various sub-genres until he got hooked on Neuro Funk, which is what he identifies himself with now a days. After a lot of home practice, followed by some smaller parties he proved that he had wat it takes. He then got asked to play at Mannheim Takeover and Hard Ins Neue Jahr / SYLVSTER 2022 at MS Connexion Complex in Mannheim. Everything is just starting for the youngster and there will be much more to expect, look and listen! Semes like there is an exciting future ahead of him.
