‘Meta’ is a new experiment from John Monkman, it sees him paving the way for a new kind of release format that embraces the world of the NFT. There will be two versions of ‘Meta’ released; The original – Extended Mix, that is limited to 50 copies and available to download and stream exclusively as an NFT via Opensea here as well as a shorter mix of the track –  available to stream and download on all DSP’s (link here).

Monkman explains: “NFT’s are reshaping/turning things upside down. They offer endless possibilities of how to release music whilst creating new ways to engage with the community…things were getting a little stale, so I’m excited to see where this new technology takes us”

Released on his imprint Beesemyer Music, ‘Meta’ showcases Monkman’s love of intricate, far-out modular sounds. The track is fused with an other-wordly vocal and follows on from his highly revered single ‘Ecstasis’, co-produced with Pete Tong and released on Maceo Plex’s label Ellum.

Asked how the track came about, Monkman says: “the track started as a live jam on the Buchla Easel – after recording multiple  takes, the main challenge was trying to make sense of the chaos – there’s a lot going on  – the vocals really help in grounding the track’.
