Club Furies

Monotone is the electronic music project of Italian producer Francesco Presotto, an identity navigating the crossroads of UK garage, breaks, and IDM. His sound stands out for its rigorous rhythmic architecture and high technical precision, framed by cavernous spatial design, tension-laden percussion, and a sculpted distortion that constantly oscillates between restraint and collapse.

Soft Chroma Recordings is an independent experimental electronic music imprint founded in 2023 by the artist Ex.Hale. The platform was created with the explicit purpose of cataloging and disseminating the conceptual spectrum of sound design, making room for abstract compositions, ambient works, spoken word, and textures that challenge traditional dance music frameworks.

Club Furies Mix Series: Cintas Furiosas Present Monotone

Soft Chroma Recordings welcomes Italian producer Monotone to its roster, marking his debut on Ex.Hale’s label with Baska, a two-track release. Drawing inspiration from sound system pioneers like LTJ Bukem, Makoto, and Doc Scott, «Baska» channels an enigmatic and deeply emotional energy. The piece weaves Reese basslines with ethereal melodies over an architecture that allows the Amen break to breathe fluidly, forging a hypnotic, dream-pop-tinged soundscape that sets the narrative tone for the EP.

The sound of «Wired Drive» feels simultaneously electric, fresh, and agile, yet nostalgic, magical, and enchanting—captivating the listener while delivering pure energy. Sudden percussive hits pull past eras directly into the present, joining the vocal elements to create a sonic texture rich in complexity, versatility, and masterful sound design.

Despite only a few years operating under this alias, Monotone has made a significant mark on the advanced electronic circuit through releases on imprints like Mindwaves-Music and Tentapes, gaining direct support from major figures across the global scene. With this output for Soft Chroma Recordings, the artist reaffirms the core of his vision: a synthesis balancing cutting-edge sound design with a deep respect for club culture history.
