Just had a mate email me about Monolake last night in Manchester. was
apparently amazing.
and some OT-ness for the nerds: his custom controller just sported one
firewire cable apparently.

hi!
actually he's a guy from berlin whose name is robert henke. his website:
http://www.monolake.de/
if you're into ableton live you should know him. the whole ableton idea
was born out of a music project done by robert henke and gerhard behles
feeling the need to create their own software to be able to create music
the way they wanted to.
one half of this project was "robert henke" whilst "gerhard behles"
cocentrated more and more on the software project now known as "ableton
live".
if you need more info check out this very nice article (in english):

i woudn't call monolake a dance project but when i saw him performing
last time he rocked "berghain". on this night i met a guy from japan on
his trip to europe. when i asked why he had come to club berghain
although there are so many clubs over here his answer was: "monolake".
you can meet robert in the clubs or at hardwax every now and then. last
time i saw him as a guest he was at the moodyman show at club
water-gate/berlin.
a very nice set from 99' is online at http://www.betalounge.com/
afaik he performed at oslo/detroit some weeks ago. and he can be found
at every important electronic music festival.
if you haven't heard his music yet you shurely have missed an important
artist of nowadays electronic music - regarding our planet - not just
berlin.
