Monotonik on (permanent?) hiatus

Monotonik, one of the icons of netlabelism, quits the scene, maybe permanently. After 219 releases Simon decided to put Monotonik and its sister label Mono211 in the fridge: "The landscape has completely shifted. The concept of a virtual label still has some value, and if I had more time, I�d like to explore that further. But there�s too much noise and not enough signal, and this seems like a great time to acknowledge that and step back."
You can listen again to netwaves' first episode (nws001): our start was intended as a symbolic honour to one of the oldest netlabels, Monotonik.

The whole goodbye / farewell by Simon.
