"Brussels-based trailblazers Monoko and Inkko are here to ignite the dancefloor with their first track of 2026, "Making U," a bold debut that immerses listeners in the UK-influenced electronic house scene. This fresh release stands at the crossroads of UK garage, house, and electronica, drawing sonic inspiration from heavyweights like Four Tet, Fred again.., and Gold Panda, while carving out its own modern identity."
"Euphoric and energetic, "Making U" is crafted for those unforgettable late-night club moments and the euphoric connections found on the dancefloor. Yet it also resonates with reflective listening at home or on the go, inviting you to lounge in its emotionally intelligent soundscape. @ monoko.music / @ inkko_music Cover 📸 @adrienne.nicolai Monoko, the visionary force behind this track, brings a unique perspective shaped by his Swedish and Belgian roots.

With a seamless blend of dance music and ambient textures, Inkko's productions evoke both movement and introspection, inviting listeners to embark on an auditory exploration through his ever-evolving musical landscape."
