Monolithic

Monolithic is the alias of the Japan-born, New York based music producer, DJ, and audio engineer Jun Torii. His music and style draws influence from a multi-national past, having lived in Frankfurt, and the greater Detroit area before moving to New York. Monolithic gained his initial following through both Bandcamp, and major YouTube tastemakers through the audio-visual pairing and releases of his dreamy, and nostalgic feeling house records. Monolithic’s music is now reaching clubbers and music lovers internationally and record “Alone With You” has reached 2M+ streams across all platforms, and has since been re-issued on vinyl.

By day - Torii works as an audio engineer for TV & Film post-production. By night - he produces a wide array of warm, encapsulating sounds across a variety of tempos and styles - from acid house to breakbeats, heavily leveraging distorted 808 and 909 drums, nostalgic melodies, and retro chords that pay an ode to the 90s. He is a frequent DJ at Brooklyn’s go-to underground club spots, including Public Records, Good Room, Bossa Nova Civic Club, and others.

Monolithic has championed most of his original releases independently, through his self-funded and managed imprint - Platonic Solids. Outside of this, he has been invited to release on Australia’s infamous Clipp.art recordings, Portugal's No She Doesn't label, and Brooklyn based Lwlvls.
