BIOGRAPHY
Monstercat is a Canadian independent company specializing in the production and distribution of electronic music. Founded in 2011 by Mike Darlington and Ari Paunonen, the label was initially created as a way to promote emerging artists in the electronic music genre. In a short amount of time, Monstercat gained immense popularity within the electronic music community and signed several internationally recognized artists.
One of the main distinctive aspects of Monstercat lies in its innovative approach to music distribution. Instead of sticking to the traditional model of full albums, Monstercat releases new singles multiple times a week. These singles are then compiled into collections that are released at regular intervals. This allows artists to gain greater visibility in the constant flow of new music.
In addition to promoting musical talent, Monstercat has also built a strong and engaged community. They have a highly popular YouTube channel and regularly host live events for their fans.
Although Monstercat started as a humble effort to support independent artists, the company is now recognized as a leading label in the electronic music industry. With an innovative approach to music distribution and a strong commitment to the community, Monstercat continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the music industry.
