----------

Sharing a Berlin studio together for five years before they started working together, Aikin and Monolog’s work together is a testament to the power of collaboration to elevate creative and technical processes. Two styles collide to create something unlike either, the results are explosive, raw and out-of-the-box.

Monolog, an alias of Mads Lindgren since 1999, is famed for intense, densely layered noise-based experiments that push technological limits and fuse his diverse experiences in metal, noise, jazz and DnB. Collaborating with Aikin was a process of slimming his production style down, harnessing the mesmeric power of rhythmic repetition. For Aikin on the other hand, a seasoned DJ whose subtly cinematic productions have appeared on labels like Mord and Gegen Berlin, this collaboration was about reaching for new extremes. Given full creative control by Evar, the result is raw and unrestrained. In Aikin’s own words: “I'd consider this record one of my most savage, but also thanks to that, the most technically accomplished.”
