Breaking out in 2015, John Monkman seized the attention of the global dance music community with the release of two widely acclaimed summer dance-floor gems: his remix of Solomon Grey’s ‘Twilight’ (Beatport #1) on Anjunadeep and 'PHØENIX' with Pete Tong, released via German label Kompakt. The latter marked the second collaboration between the two, following on from their Suara single ‘The Bumps’, which was remixed by electronic music royalty Moby in 2015. The pair delivered a third instalment together in 2016 with the engrossing 'Aurora' on Beesemyer.

Renowned for his impeccable quality in the studio and behind the decks, the US-born, UK-bred producer and dj has taken his productions around the world, performing in iconic venues from Brazil's Warung to Ibiza's Ushuaia and beyond.
