Monolab - Music since 1999

Echos of Tomorrow is more than an album. It's a look back—and a look ahead. A homage to the golden age of synthpop in the 80s and 90s, inspired by Depeche Mode, Visage, Soft Cell, New Order and the spirit of an era when machines conveyed emotions. Created from over 700 rendered songs and 50 different prompts, this work is the condensed result of weeks of creative work between man and machine. A blend of melancholic darkness, electronic precision, and emotional depth united in 14 select tracks that blend past and future.

The songs range from darkwave, synthwave, melodic electro, and modern house. Each track carries a piece of retro DNA, embedded in a contemporary club structure, refined by atmospheric vocals, shimmering pads, rolling basslines, and pulsating arps. The album tells stories of memory, transience, and digital loss—but also of hope, new beginnings, and a clear light at the end of the tunnel.

A project that thrives on a deep love of electronic music—supported by Suno AI and accompanied by an audiovisual aesthetic that runs through it like a red neon thread.

If I were a copywriter, I'd probably say something like... Get ready for 9 electrifying disco house tracks that blend vintage funk, groovy basslines, and modern house beats into a dancefloor explosion! Whether you're into Daft Punk, Purple Disco Machine, or classic Chic vibes, this compilation brings together the best of the past and future.

I've been a fan of filter house, French, or simply disco house music for ages. Since Suno generates the tracks, proper filters or French loops aren't possible, but with certain tweaks to the style, you can get pretty close. Although, disco itself works quite well with Suno. The vocals are really good. 80% of the video clips were generated with Wan 2.1.

You might not believe it, but none of the women or people are real. What a shame. :-)

9 tracks with 3 themes. As always, the download includes the cover art, lyrics, and the tracks.

The second AI album from our "street rappers." You grow with your challenges, and on the second album, I adapted the structure of the lyrics and deliberately incorporated drops or breaks within the individual parts. Even breaks with extensive scratching are now possible with Suno, as are various effect drops. The vocals are still truly sublime, and if you play this stuff to uninitiated people, they wouldn't be able to tell that these are "AI rappers."

The style guidelines have also been changed. While initially, the style was something like rap, hip hop, and the like, this section has already grown to almost 20 lines. Specific information about various subgenres or artists, or what the mood of the song should be. With Suno v4, you have truly extensive options. The videos also took a step forward. Leonardo.ai was used predominantly.

This time, there are 8 tracks with 3 themes. As always, the download includes the cover art, lyrics, and the tracks.

If the title brings technotronic to mind, you're right. Decades ago, there was a Pump up the Jam remix album. When I'm in my old school phase, the neighborhood gets it in the form of technotronic. The original Pump up Jam is, for me personally, one of the best dance tracks of all time. It can really only compete with KLF (What Time Is Love / Trance Version), Humanoid (Stakker Humanoid / Acid), or Jolly Roger (Acid Man). I've been working on a remix for years, but none of them have passed my personal quality control. :-) This remix album is something of a small homage.

For the 8 new mixes (2 solo releases), I used a new prompt technique with Suno within the lyrics section. I really like the result, and luckily, you get 6 remixes instead of 5.

6 tracks with 1 theme. As always, the download includes the cover, lyrics, and the tracks.

RAP or hip hop at Monolab? Guest rapper? What's up, what's up? Don't worry, for one thing, you don't have to endure any rap from me personally, that would be a disaster, and for another, I haven't purchased any expensive licensed vocals. Alternatively, I don't have any cheap standard vocals either.

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