Monstart is proud to present the label's twentieth release, which will be available November 24, 2023. This "Stepping Out" EP is the result of the collaboration of two French artists: Ouanounou - the head of the label - and Gipsyan - a talented producer from Montpellier.

With "Stepping Out" this original duo pays tribute to their common musical preferences, which are in the mood of the UK & US underground scenes - hard drums, juke, footwork - and global bass. The result is a body of work that is technical, heavy, percussive, yet extremely harmonious. A musical journey into the club world, from 130 to 160 BPM.

"Stepping Out" is a 10-track album by Ouanounou and Gipsyan. They have combined their science and studio approach to create a work that is made for the dancefloor.

After participating in an artistic residency last January, the two artists began a deep process of reflection and creation aimed at defining their perspective of club music in 2023.

The project was based on the idea of liberation and artistic self-affirmation. On the occasion of this 20th release, "Stepping Out" will also be available in a limited edition on vinyl, marking the label's very first physical release.

about

“7 years after my first EP and all the experience gained in clubs and studios, I'm delighted to release this project with Gipsyan on my own label. For me, it's a complete project drawing on the many influences that have shaped my artistic identity. It's an EP made for clubs and dancefloors, which required a lot of introspection and artistic bias to bring to life. I'm also very proud to have so many talented remixers on this release, who have taken the tracks beyond anything I could have imagined.”
Ouanounou

“This project is a culmination, via Monstart, a label that motivated me because it was the only one I was in contact with even before joining through their events. This project inspires me with instantaneity and the uncompromising sharing of trends. It's a warlike, dynamic EP. It represents the common ground we share with Ouanounou personally, more than artistically. The result is raw and with a positive masculine energy.”
Gipsyan

about

Monstart

Once Ouanounou’s and Chatte Chatoyante teeth were cutted as promoters, Monstart was born. Renown Dj and visionary dancer, they decided to infuse their science of the scene into everything they touched, making Monstart hard to miss when you like to groove.

Each EP is a love letter to the clubbing and physical experiences it offers. ... more
