MONAKAI
SF Bay Area Underground Electronic Music Producer and DJ
Who is Monakai? I'm the phantom in the booth when the warehouse goes pitch black and the subwoofers wake up. A sonic contractor operating on the fringes of the West Coast electronic underground , trafficking in bass-heavy transmissions that bypass your ears and hit your gut directly. I don't follow genres โ I b end them until they break. Drum & Bass, dubstep, Bass House, Breaks, West Coast heaviness โ all just raw material for the sound systems I architect. Building frequencies that make concrete sweat.
