Monolake was formed in 1995 as the duo of Gerhard Behles and Robert Henke, although on later albums the group consisted of Henke alone, with Behles focusing his time on running the Ableton software company. Their sound can generally be described as minimal techno filled with nice touch of fine tech dub, although the 1999 Gobi. The Desert EP, which contains a single 37-minute atmospheric piece, is a notable exception. Monolake first released an album and several 12”s on Berlin’s Chain Reaction label, then on Monolake/Imbalance Computer Music, which is operated by Robert Henke. 2005’s Polygon_Cities is the result of a collaboration between Henke and Torsten “T++” Pröfrock, who is now an “official” member of Monolake.

    dub techno according to Hong Kong album

    Minimal as 2nd or 3rd tag is more appropriate, just not as the 1st tag. "Silence" is his most interesting album for me btw :)

    I stand corrected, still think his work is more experimental that minimal. Compared to all the minimal artists u folks know, how much similarity do u guys find with Monolake tracks?! Artists tagged as experimental have much more in common to Monolake imho. According to discogs: SILENCE (Abstract, Techno, Ambient ) GHOSTS (Abstract, Techno, Ambient ) MOMENTUM (Techno, IDM, Ambient )

    I wouldn't take as gospel anything ANY artist says about their own music, at least in terms of genre or style. They might think they aim for something or other, but in the end no-one can be impartial towards their own work. Genre and style are ephemeral and largely defined by the consensus of audiences anyway.

    Murvin01 Perhaps you need to broaden your Monolake horizons because minimalist or minimal would certainly describe many of his works, particularly his sound installations and releases on Chain Reaction... and on Imbalance Recordings/Computer Music.. Ah pretty much everything, except the real dubby stuff.. Some of which I would still describe as quite minimal :)

It appears the New MySpace is in self-destruct mode

28 Nov 2010 | from blog.myspace.com/zoltansband

If it ain't broke why fix it?The New MySpace that has been changed without consulting us it's users is harder than ever to access. I'm glad The Zoltans have our own independent website …
