Monopunk

There's a refreshing energy about Dave Smith aka Monopunk. Where others may shy away from losing it on the dancefloor in an attempt to maintain their cool, Dave is at the centre of it all, orchestrating a full-scale shake down to the sound of crashing bass and devastating breakdowns. Given his passion for 'causing it' it's no wonder that his preferred style these days is the face-melting sound of 'tear-out' Electro.

After discovering the instant gratification of the electro sound which has the power to make people quite literally come alive on the dancefloor, he quickly settled on the bruising basslines and slamming drops of no-nonsense Electro. Having only been producing for little over a year, Dave has already notched up some high-profile releases. This summer alone he unleashed two EP's to devastating effect, enlisting none other than Hostage to remix the skull-denting 'Expo Warning' – a slamming, peak-time weapon which inflicts a bleeping tirade of abuse on the ears (a compliment by the way incase you were wondering).

Sure, this harder edge is not for everyone, but much like Dirty Dutch there is a passionate, hardcore following who are hungry for that little bit extra. They're not interested in standing at the side, they want to be right in the middle, rinsing every last ounce of sweat from their bodies, giving every second spent on the dancefloor 100%. Take that energy to the studio and the result is Monopunk.
