Monolink Illuminates the Darkness with “Light Up My Dark”

German DJ/producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Monolink released his latest single “Light Up My Dark” on July 26th via Berlin-based label Embassy One.

The track was his second release of the year, following his collaborative effort “Shelter” with Innelea and CamelPhat. On August 9th, Monolink released the Extended Mix of “Light Up My Dark”.

Although almost four minutes longer than the original version, this extended mix offers the same bright vibrations and mesmerizing soundscapes that can definitely encourage the listener to feel the wonderful emotions around it. Monolink, whose real name is Steffen Linck, has also developed the lyrics to flow perfectly in the air, especially as they continue in harmony with the melodies and beautiful percussive sounds in this extended mix.

“Light Up My Dark” showcases the German artist's sound design, which is both thought-provoking and beautifully dynamic. The single takes listeners on a hypnotic journey full of yearning, small tones and soaring counter synthesizers. Steffen's melancholic lyrics are balanced by hopeful melodies and driving organic percussion.

Alongside the single, an official music video has also been released. Shot in a brightly lit rural courtyard in Melides, Portugal, the video features Monolink himself.

A hybrid solo artist known for his dynamic performances in melodic techno, Monolink combines classical training with a rich instrumental background. Organic chords blend with synthetic pads, hypnotic bass lines blend with emotional vocals and passionate performances blend with mental stimulation.
