Monk Audio
Monk Audio is a straight-up drum and bass record label based in the United Kingdom. Self-described as having a "dark, deep, tech, and minimal" groove, the label is a respected platform for sub-genre specialists, passionately supporting artists who push the boundaries of drum and bass music. The label was founded by FLEX, a seasoned DJ and producer, known by many for his innovative approach to the genre.
Since its inception, Monk Audio has become an influential hub for quality drum and bass releases. It introduced numerous artists like Azifm, Linear, and Dark Ops to its dedicated community of listeners. One of its most noteworthy releases includes Azifm's "Depth Charge", an infectious track that resonates Monk Audio's dark, intricate soundscapes.
A defining characteristic of Monk Audio is the label's commitment to nurturing new talents. Despite having released significantly underground singles, EPs, and albums, Monk Audio continues to prioritize the promotion of emerging artists. The label not only provides these artists with a professional platform for their music, but also brings their sound to the global stage through its label nights and events.
While Monk Audio might not have received major awards yet, the recognition it has gained from the drum and bass community holds fair testament to its impact and high-quality releases. Not one to conform to trends, Monk Audio stays true to their mission: to continue pushing the underground sound of drum and bass.
