Dub techno trusses, Ableton pioneers, systems thinkers; Monolake have done it all and yet continue to do it all again, despite having already beaten the game. The Berlin duo now take a step back, entering a state of retrospection with a new reissue of the 1999 surface-breaker Interstate: that late-90s waypoint that came just before Behles stepped away to develop Live. Their fourth album, the likes of 'Gecko', 'Tangent', 'Perpetuum' and 'Ginza' derive from their Max/MSP-driven generations a shifting, interlinked, hissing structure, rhythms billowing in the squall, high-end sizzles and snares grazing the ears like probabilistic-ballistic metal balls in an urn. Henke's remaster keeps the detail intact, full digital production detailing a game-changing, finely-modelled Y2K production approach.
