In the expansive and often tumultuous world of electronic music, it’s a rare feat to find an artist who can bridge the gaps between disparate genres with both grace and audacity. Enter Dirt Monkey, or Patrick Megeath to those in the know, who seems to carry the weight of dubstep, house, and bass on his shoulders, and yet makes it seem as effortless as breathing.
This year, in particular, stands as a great example to Dirt Monkey’s audacious exploration of sound. His presence at Mission Ballroom wasn’t just another set; it was a sonic manifesto, a declaration of what’s still possible in electronic music. This bold statement was further amplified on his North American Full Circle Tour with Jantsen, reiterating his commitment to pushing boundaries and challenging norms.
Now, onto MYCELIUM SOUND PT. 1 – each track seems like a well-thought-out chapter in a novel that doesn’t tell its story in words, but in designs, drops, and collaborations. “Ignite”, featuring Christian Acamo, feels like a harbinger of the album’s core essence: a fearless dive into the unknown territories of sound. Then, there’s the voices like Shanna Raymond and J Nolan, which adds layers, almost like voices in a Greek chorus commenting on the central action.
As the anticipation for MYCELIUM SOUND PT. 2 bubbles up, one can’t help but reflect: Dirt Monkey isn’t merely producing tracks; he’s crafting an odyssey. And in this odyssey, each beat, collaboration, and transition becomes a marker on a map of modern electronic music’s potential.
