     Streets of Steel - A pure RAP Album

RAP, hip-hop? Guest rapper? What's going on, what's going on? Don't worry, on the one hand you don't have to endure any RAP from me personally, that would be
a disaster, and on the other hand I didn't get any very expensive vocals either. Alternatively, no cheap standard vocals.

If you follow my YouTube channel, you'll notice that I'm currently playing around a lot with AI. Same with Suno and various prompts and song lyrics. Streets is the result of spending many hours with ChatGPT4 polishing song lyrics and trying out very experimental prompts with Suno.

-
 

An example is the video clip from the first track. The whole number runs outside of the normal Monolab productions. If you want to discover my other excursions into the AI ​​world, I really recommend the YouTube channel. There you will not only find music clips, but also various AI video experiments. As I said, the "Album" doesn't have an official release number, but there is a typical Download package. MP3s and the lyrics to rap along to. :-)

News 11.11.2024 - 25 Years Monolab - Cosmic Comeback 2.0 Reloaded

                  Perspektive
        a Melodic Techno Album

After 8 years, things sometimes turn out differently than you think and you find yourself back in the thick of things more quickly.

Perspective is the result of many years of extensive optimization of the sound quality and song arrangement.

I definitely wanted to move away from the typical soundtracker sound and towards the typical sound of “the big wide world”. I just think many people will be surprised by the Cosmic Reloaded 2.0 sound.
    

Once Comeback 2.0 has been successfully launched and everything is as it should be, then I will finally tackle the modern website and hopefully the new releases will find a new stage.

Apart from returning after 8 years of abstinence, you can celebrate something like a 25th
anniversary. Monolab was born in the distant year of 1999 and my first release (more or less)was back in 1986 on Paradies. If I remember correctly, this was an Amiga 500 sound disk story.

With this release the ZIP names of the respective release also change. We now allow ourselves more than 8 characters and with the MP3s come the CD covers. Otherwise everything stays the same. The next release is already in the pipeline and will be out in a few days. A Deep Vocal House track.


Perspektive Tracklist:

Track 1 :  Perspektive - der Pfad Edit                                            
                124 bpm - 29ch. - 5.19 Min.

Track 2 :  Evolution von Techno - Original Edit                               
                124 bpm - 27ch. - 4.46. Min.

Track 3 :  Fusionsantrieb - der Zerfall Edit                                    
                127 bpm - 29ch. - 5.56 Min.

Track 4 :  Träume der Maschinenmenschen - Original Edit             
                127 bpm - 32ch. - 5.57 Min.

Since I don't want to deviate from my philosophy of free downloads for free people, there is now a PayPal donation link. Proven on Twitch and if you can get a few Sampe or Expansion Packs. The Nexus 5 update is also coming. I would be happy. :-)

Comments and Ideas are alwasy welcome.

Keep Movin,

News 02.11.2024 - Comeback 2.0 - Cosmic V3.0 - reloaded

Howdy Folks,

You hear it again and again, people who are believed to be dead live longer. At least for my part I can confirm the saying and I am 7 years ago for the second time emerged from the Trancentral or Nirvana.

After celebrating something like a comeback after ages in 2016 and have released one or two tracks, this should be a quite quickly comeback. The whole  Dilema started back in 2016, where I supposedly had one at the beginning of the year had severe viral infections and was completely off track for several weeks  stood. I successfully recovered from that and the rest of 2016 ran without problems.

At the beginning of 2017 the same game - virus - for several weeks out of life and recovered from it. But within the next few months I always had health problems, which meant that music and... Of course my regular work came to a standstill and I actually just  wanted to get through the day.

Then came September 2017. On a gloomy Sunday, no, I don't know, it was probably a normal Sunday and I felt really bad. Circulatory problems, dizziness and every movement was a marathon. Dizziness & circulatory problems were almost unknown to me until then and on Monday things got worse, instead of getting better.

My new family doctor also initially guessed my well-known virus, but just to be on the safe side, she checked my blood values. Well, those were from the heart wasn't really pleasant and took me straight to the emergency room. After the obligatory check, an false inflammation of the myocardium was diagnosed  Cardiac catheterization the next day. Not pretty, but would solve the problems explain and would be good to treat.

The next day I went straight to the operating room in the morning.  During the course of the investigation, a contrast medicament was administered and this medicament just nuked my heart. At least for a while shift at the shaft - closing time. Next life as cow comes up - no white light - no pictures of the past - just dead. After a while  I came back with a brutal headache again and was completely off track. Intensive Station, met a lot of new people and was given a lot of new drugs. Before my heart attack there was no medication, but after the infarction, then 8 different medications. A dream...

To keep a long story short, there were some really annoying ones that followed and painful years. 3-4 more hospital visits, problems from the medication and all possible consequences. I was happy that my employer was so more or less couldn't do without myself, but music or others leisure activities were no longer an option. The first 4 years were partial really bad, but now I've stabilized quite well. Advantage, after 35 I stopped smoking straight away in 2017. Disadvantage, 35 kilos through the changed metabolism increased.

However. I hadn't given up music completely, but basically I did I only really got started again this year.  Meanwhile besides Nexus i bought Vengeance Avenger 2.0, which makes my options even more extreme expanded.

In addition, a few new effect plugins and various sample packs. A new provider, with far more space and unlimited traffic was added and in addition to Soundcloud, Hearthis and the website here, there will also be YouTube music video releases in the future, to open up this area too. YouTube, however, only for the new releases. There will also be a new website, but that will only come after Comeback 2.0, Cosmic 3.0 or the reload - whatever you want. :-)

Don't pin me down, but it'll be melodic techno before Christmas at the latest Album and a fat vocal deep house track from me. Both sound quality and the music itself has evolved quite a bit... I really am I'm curious to see how and whether there are any reactions at all. :-)

In this sense. If you have any questions, just write to us or wait until the music hits.

Translated with google translator because I'm a little out of practice. :-)

Cheers,
Matthias.

News 11.06.2016 + 17.01.2017 (8 Years later...) - 2 new Trance Tracks

Howdy Pardy Folks,

This time only 8 years late, the last two releases before my more or less departure. I discussed this fact above. Back then, I simply forgot to enter and upload the two tracks here. Happens...  :-) Well...

Release 88 :  Zeitsprung 1988 - Acid House Edit                                 

I always wanted to release a real acid house track and this gem is the result. The acid sound comes from a plugin (Phosycon 1.0) and I controlled all the buttons individually via Midi CC or controlled by the pattern effect. It was a lot of fun back then... Almost 6 minutes and 136 bpm.

Release 87 :  Deine Freiheit ist eine Illusion - Progressive Edit           

 A really nice "Oldskool" trance track. Over 9 minutes long and Main Melody still blows my mind 8 years later. Back then there was even praise from the old master DAC, from Radical Rhyhtms at the time.
 ______________________________________________________________________

Howdy Pardy Folks,

with some delay two new tracks. This time two fast und pushing Trance tracks. Fragmente goes more towards Melo Trance while Schicksal shows my little preference for Schranz. Currently i work on various Schranz tracks and a ACID special Track.

Release 85 :  Fragmente der Zukunft - Struktur Edit                         
-
Latest track and started this year. Pushing drums, beats and ARPs (i love arps). It is a bit inspired by the most recent release from Ananda Shanti. Next track "Der Mensch bestimmt sein Schicksal" is stylistically the same style but with more Schranz influence. 8.20min - 144 BPM.

Release 86 :  Der Mensch bestimmt sein Schicksal - der Osten Edit  
-
The journey continues. Another trance styled Track. This time more monotone and a bit like my old schranz stuff. 145 stompin bpm. Again inspired by Ananda Shanti. 6.40min. - 145 BPM.

News 16.04.2016 - Comeback ... Comeback .. Comeback ... Comeback

Howdy Pardy Folks,

after a 10 years long delay and much more creative development I celebrate a more or less surprising comeback. Meanwhile, much time has passed and so I've actually never stopped tracking Music. The only problem was that I had somehow reached a standstill and because of privat things i did not find enough time and motivation to release and publish new Music. In principle, for me, the story web music was done.

Earlier this year, came Philipp "Stimpy" Giebel regarding a radio show about Radical Rhythms toward me. RR was my first Web-Label and we were something like pioneers in this area. Long story short. After countless emails and thoughts about my music, the radio broadcast and a comeback Philipp had me persuaded successfully to a restart.

It now has almost lasted half a year until I had enough material together and my creativity (I think) had found. However, the RR Radio Show and Stimpy showing a large share of this comeback. Under Links you will find the Show, his radio and the new Radical Rhythms archives.

Besides, it should be mentioned that you can find all new tracks also at Soundcloud.

On the one hand the release a corresponding link to each stream and the other is in the right menu, a reference to SoundCloud. For technical and temporal reasons the new releases are a bit longer available on Soundcloud. In the future, I will try to release a relatively parallel publication.

Release 79 :  Vergangenheit - Andere Zeitlinie Edit - 6.35 min.   
-
This deep House track was already done at 2010. 130 bpm, a groovy bassline and typical house beats. Remix from release 74.

Release 80 :  Walking down the Street - Tech Edit - 6.09 min.   
-
And the House story continues. Again a remix from a very old Radical Rhythms release (around 1995). Beats and some elements you will find in classic House styles too but the main goal was a more technical influence. 130 bpm.

Release 81 :  Expedition in eine andere Welt Trance EP             

1 : Sonnensturm - Original Version - 6.16 min. - 146 bpm
2 : Neutronenstern - Original Version - 6.13 min. - 146 bpm  
3 : Eine andere Welt - Die Ankunft Edit - 6.44 min. - 144 bpm

Mostly I have began the tracks from this EP already years ago, but really tracked final versions i tracked last year . From Sonnensturm there were at the end of 4 different versions and our much esteemed VIP - Fan Stimpy was just before a bridge jump. In principle, the respective tracks are intended to represent a journey. Theoretically, I could here to submit a nice story, but my poetic side is not really very strong. Besides, there are all quite fast and dynamic trance songs. One can say to psytrance, but in principle it remains for me trance. Qualitatively a quantum leap to my old trance tracks.

Release 82 :  Richtungswechsel - Einweg Edit - 6.01 min.           

In general, I 'm actually a deep house fan and all the new House Stories (Dirty, Tropic, EDM or Future House) were so far never been my thing. However, you should never forget the dark side of power and "Richtungswechsel" is the first of my new, well as appropriate :), House Style. In principle, I would classify it personally Hard - House, but my old Schranz works were then but a lot more violent . Recent projects have still more influence of EDM, but are still bascially house tracks. 130 bpm Cosmic Standard bpm.

Release 83 :  Bewegungsphase - Original Version - 5.49 min.   
-
I guess "Richtungswechsel" and "Bewegungsphase" showing which direction my house tracks are taking. Current projects proceed as said more towards EDM or Future House. Besides, I lay still value to intensive bass and beats. Nothing is more monotonous than Bum Bum sizzling with Melo. Sounds like RAVE at 130 bpm .

Release 84 : Wellenformen - Wellen 2.0 Edit - 6.21 min.         
-
The last track of the old line which I have begun in recent years and then brought to a successful conclusion last year. Harder trance / Psytrance. Kicks at 146 bpm.


 ______________________________________________________________________

So, after a 9 years break it had to simply a thick package appear with new tracks. One thing is certain, it will not again take 9 years until new tracks will be released and, for sure, the good old Cossi is back in full effect.

Feedback is gladly seen - either via mail or on SoundCloud.

Cheers,
Matthias aka Cosmic...

News 16.04.2006 - Releases 75,76,77 und 78..
Howdy Folks,

the beat goes on and get ready for the latest creative work tracked by the Monolab members Myrone, Burt Freedom and Cosmic. 

Release 75 - Zu Zweita by Bang Burt aka Burt Freedom evokes me on the good old disco times. Just a track which you must play serveral times to get it right.

Release 76 - Puto del mar by Myrone is just a fine House track after the fat D´n´B releases. It is also a rather catchy tune.

Release 77 - Sittenverfall by Cosmic sounds in german rather angry and devaluating and it is rather angry and harder Schranz stuff. Nothing for typical chartbreaker - consumer. Be sure to get more tracks in the near future.

Release 78 - Schwerelosigkeit is once again a rather releaxed Deep House Track by Cosmic. Just somewhat better than Vergangenheit and it was rather releaxed tracking.

My " Cosmic goes RAP " phun release is delayed because of to much to get for one day. Maybe next week and maybe with some D´n´B stuff. A lot of maybe´s, eh ? :) We´ll see...

And now, get the newstuff...

Regards,
yours Cosmic.
