HISTORY
At this time, Endo Monk had some years of experience (since the mid-1970s) in handling modular synthesizers.
The reason was a teacher at his school, who built an Elektor Formant Synthesizer as a school project to show the similarities of music, physics and mathematics. In this school (IGS) there were rooms in the basement that the students could use to make music.
There, too, Endo Monk had a room where this formant synthesizer stood all this years, because nobody else at this school was interested in that kind of music. This remained so until his graduation and progress from this school.
But their artistic paths were once again divided, as Stefano became more interested in Techno and Frank more in Rap / Hip-Hop.
When the so-called transformerscratching came up he developed the so-called Transformerscratchbutton.
Gemini picked up this idea later in his Transformer Scratch Device called Flashformer.
In 1992, his friend Fakir Alyn discovered the old and rotten Watercastle Geretzhoven from the 13th century and they began to rebuild it step by step. There he lives and works until today. The legendary S.O.M.A. Festival (Summer Of Music & Art) was born here too.
Over the years many techno and goa festivals took place there and he took care of the technical parts on site and met many artists from these genres and got influenced by the way. At the same time, he also founded his label Holy Chaos Recordings, because no one would like to release his extremely provocative Äi-Tiem tracks and lyrics. After the first two releases in own sales, Intercord took care of the distribution.
Also at this time he and some friends started to build a Skate and BMX hall. The legendary Domsports skate hall.
Legendary because he combined all artforms under one roof. Extreme sports, music, graffiti, dance and art.
They organized a kind of open stage in various lokations, socalled public jam sessions, which were recorded live for later release.
In 2016/17 he painted the Cover for the formation Andhim and their Donner EP as a big screen.
Andhim are an electronic DJ, Producer and Remixerduo.
In June 2018, he filmed his wakewave at a wakeboard session to get inspired by the pictures for a track.
Based an this track and video Chris Maico Schmidt aka Mike S. became aware of it and asked for a remix.
It may seem odd, but in the beginning of Endo Monk all these influences play a certain role.
Finally, because these themes also appear in Endo Monk's videos.
All this positive feedback brought Endo Monk to a decision.
The decision to release a first album named Kontinuum on which one of these remixes is represent.
The other remixes will be released as an independent EP on BluFin.
You will find this under: Discography.
And here it is...
The beginning of something that will end somewhere..
