In a world where musical genres often feel like rigid boxes, few bands are brave enough to blur the lines as deftly as Monotronic. Hailing from the eclectic streets of New York City, this genre-defying collective, led by visionary guitarist and producer Ramsey Elkholy, has been carving their own unique path since 2016. With a distinctive fusion of indie, electronic, and world music influences, the band has been steadily making waves in both the underground and mainstream scenes. Their latest single, “Looking Away,” is proof that they are only just getting started.
Formed in 2016, Monotronic quickly made a name for themselves in New York’s competitive music scene. With Ramsey Elkholy at the helm as the primary songwriter and mastermind, the band’s debut was anything but predictable. Mixing elements of indie rock, ambient electronic soundscapes, and world music rhythms, their early work set the stage for what would become their own trademark sound: a seamless blend of East meets West, analog meets digital.
