“kid blue mix sounding heavy…will grab and give a test drive….” Si Begg (Noodles Recordings)

“Loving this!!! Kid Blue remix is a peak hour crowd pleaser for sure. I can see the sweat dripping from the ceiling already… DJ Melee is a great Breaks track that will totally work in my breaks sets.

Monism Music will take the next step in the direction of becoming a stateside Tech-Funk label representing all that is techno, house, break and electro rolled into one. One of very few might I add. This week, our next release Monism 006 done by West Coasts, Jesse Brooks, had a spotlight done over on the TECH-FUNK MANIFESTO, owned and operated by Mr. Elite Force. You can check out what people have said already and hear a sample of the upcoming Zodiac Cartel remix scheduled for release right in time for the Winter Music Conference.

The original of this upcoming remix is done by West Coast based Jesse Brooks & Ken Rangkuty. Supporting remix duties by M07S.

Brian Thomas is a So-Cal Native with roots that seed as far as New England. A dj for over a decade., his first involvement was part of the Northeast Club and Party scene in the late nineties before moving westward expanding his platform to work alongside Simply Jeff. He then met MO7S and quickly became brothers from different mothers, throwing events in Los Angeles & Orange County alike. Today Brian is promoting Tech Funk events in Orange County bringing the likes of his peers within the movement. He has upcoming originals and remixes slated for early 2009 on Monism Music. His energy and passion for the movement is unparalleled, as he consistently brings the necessary funk to the system.

Thank you to Rhines and Brian Thomas for supplying the recording of the evening of ReLoad this past July. Below you will find our set on 4 decks. It’s a combination of all tech-funk. Completely unedited and straight from the night. Pure unadulterated rawness. The set was longer but the power was interrupted by a certain DJ who had large feet and disconnected the power cord. lol. We hope you enjoy!
