Monitor 66’s arrival onto the scene with last summers ‘Triscuits’ saw them pop up on a lot of top dj’s radar’s, such as The Magician who opened his Magic Tape 22 mix with it. It also saw their first release on House of Disco, their adopted home. Since then the two boys from Sweden have been honing their sound through a series of lauded remixes for Tempogeist, Kolombo & Rythm Operator. Now after some painstaking studio time they are ready to release their next original work, their first solo EP, Vitae on House of Disco Records. ‘Vitae’ starts with the title track, which firmly re-enforces their manifesto of making music for sunsets. Bit’s haunting vocals are given a different context with some invigorating melodies and bright positive basslines. Next up is ‘Virago’, a slightly more sultry affair featuring some rebuilt but familiar vocals that progressively open up as if bearing their soul and plenty of shifts and depth to keep sneakers on the dancefloor. Third on the EP is their most house orientated track to date ‘Nyx’. Hi hats keep the tempo as this one gets a little harder, again their vocal treatments are a signature of their sound but this time with a more 90’s feel. Finally we have ‘Cur’ featuring Oh Deer.
