Monolink

Steffen Linck, better known by his stage name Monolink, is a German DJ, singer-songwriter, and producer acclaimed for bridging electronic dance music with live, emotive performance. Born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, Linck developed a penchant for songwriting and guitar at an early age, drawing inspiration from folk and alternative rock before entering the world of electronic music. Moving to Berlin, he immersed himself in the city’s vibrant club scene, absorbing genres like techno and house, and began experimenting with blending organic songwriting elements into rich electronic soundscapes.

Monolink’s innovative approach quickly set him apart: his music features intricate, melodic techno and house beats underpinned by his melancholic vocals and introspective lyrics. This distinctive style is evident in his debut album, "Amniotic," released in 2018, which received widespread acclaim for its emotional depth and dancefloor sensibility. Tracks like “Sirens” and “Swallow” showcased his signature blend of meditative instrumental loops and storytelling.

Renowned for his live performances, Monolink crafts immersive experiences by performing vocals, guitar, and electronic arrangements simultaneously, often building tracks from scratch in front of audiences. This unique approach has brought him to major festivals such as Burning Man, Coachella, and Tomorrowland, solidifying his standing on the global stage. His follow-up album, "Under Darkening Skies" (2021), expanded his sound, incorporating elements of indie, electronica, and dark pop, and featured collaborations with artists like Innellea, Ben Böhmer, and Stephan Jolk.

Monolink’s continued evolution and dedication to musical storytelling have earned him a loyal international fan base and praise as one of the most innovative acts in modern electronic music.
