Monolith, by Bong-Ra

Monolith

by Bong-Ra

supported by

Abom Another monolithic album where every song is incredible. It's a tough choice between Dawn, Monolith and Crawlers for my favorite song, but nothing gets me more excited than Crawlers. Very likely my favorite song of all time for the past 5 years. Favorite track: Crawlers.

Tom Lando This has got to be one of the sickest, most brutal collections of electronic music ever - certainly in recent memory. The atmosphere and weight of this album is tremendous. The lyrics are a perfect fit. Favorite track: Trillion Nemesi [ft. Sole].

about

The year 2012 : a timeframe where mythology meets reality. Predictions and premonitions clash with impending political and financial catastrophes. Coincidence or a forewarning ?
Whichever way we look at the era we find ourselves in, if by chance, circumstance or choice, evolving through centuries, it is clear mankind has reached the tipping point in its current fase of existence.
Peak oil, diminishing resources and over-population, the graphs of exponential growth have reached their peaks, the sell by dates have all expired and the scales are starting to tip.
MONOLITH is where mythology and reality clash. Civilization’s vicious circle in which mankind’s destructive nature makes her orbit . A species with the powerful gift of knowledge, abstract thinking and the perception of emotion, remains in conflict with its primary instinct of violence, treachery, greed and megalomania.
An era where concepts like religion and superstition overpower science and reason. Where law enables minorities to control majorities, dominated by race, heritage and wealth, resulting in a false distribution of power and strength. Resulting in centuries of rape and pillaging of land, cultures and traditions, in which our history is dictated by powers that be. The winners of battles write future’s history books.
MONOLITH is the end of a civilization. As many before this one, a pinnacle has been reached caused by excess and arrogance, war and corruption.
A MONOLITH must be created to signify the start of a new era.
The Mayans calendar predicted the end of a cycle in 2012.
The Egyptians built blueprints to preserve knowledge which could outlive civilizations.
Signals towards turning points to a new golden age in which a new period of darkness will first engulf humanity.
This darkness is creeping upon us. Crisis upon crisis, mass corruption, unemployment, injustice, totalitarianism disguised as democracy, poverty, (holy) wars, disease, famine...
This darkness is the MONOLITH.

Dada Twist
by Ruby My Dear

supported by 12 fans who also own “Monolith”

Everybody ready? Dada Twist ? Dada, oui ! Julien Chastagnol s'est entraîné sur un petit paquet d'E.P. avant de se lancer sur Remains Of Shapes To Come. Enfin, entraîné... Il suffit d'écouter Dada Twist pour constater le niveau de maîtrise. Culture populaire, urbaine ("Gjalle-zog", "Blue"), opéra de beatboxing extrême ("Hello, Auggie") se retrouvent mélangés jusqu'à l'absurde au sens dada du terme dans un grand festival de sons vecteurs de plaisirs et de POP ! Oh, but you sound like an angel! Jordan Vauvert
