About

Monotonik is a net.music.label that exclusively releases music online in the mp3 format. All of our releases are freely downloadable and distributable under a Creative Commons license that allows free non-commercial distribution, and we’ve been releasing .mp3 and .mod files online since May 1996. The label was founded by [a1664134] as an outlet for talented electronic musicians who weren’t getting the attention they deserved. Monotonik and its sister breakbeat sublabel Mono211 have been through a lot since 1996. We’ve been featured in “Spin” magazine, have soundtracked a Sony Playstation game, were invited exhibitors at the Ars Electronica festival in Austria, have been played out on radio stations from Australia to Slovenia, featured on a Webby-nominated weirdass radio station, and have had millions of downloads of our tracks. If you like the music we release, please support the real-world (CD/vinyl) releases of our artists, or if you’re a label owner, sign them up to a deal. We do this for fun. Music is great, and giving great music away for free is even better. Hope you dig it. In a blog posting by owner Simon Carless in December 2009 it was announced that the label would be on indefinite hiatus.
