Brazilian Afro House powerhouse Curol has delivered a stunning reinterpretation of Monolink‘s “Beacon,” bringing her signature rhythmic intensity to one of the German artist’s most emotionally resonant tracks. The remix drops today via Berlin’s Embassy One as part of their ongoing series reimagining Monolink’s acclaimed 2025 album The Beauty Of It All.
This marks another standout addition to Embassy One’s remix collection, following previous reworks from Yamagucci and Maxi Meraki. Each artist brings their own sonic fingerprint to Monolink’s deeply personal compositions, and Curol’s take might be the most transformative yet.
Afro House Meets Melodic Depth
Curol’s approach to “Beacon” is both respectful and bold. She maintains the emotional core that makes the original so compelling while completely reshaping its foundation through an Afro House lens. The result feels like discovering a hidden room in a familiar house—everything clicks into place, but the experience is entirely new.
The Brazilian producer anchors her version with driving percussion and rich low-end movement that immediately pulls you into a more hypnotic space. Her subtle melodic flourishes dance around Monolink’s vocal delivery, creating this gorgeous tension between the track’s reflective nature and its newfound dancefloor urgency.
It’s that balance that makes this remix special. Curol doesn’t just speed up the BPM and call it a day—she fundamentally reimagines how the song moves through space while keeping its emotional DNA intact.
Breaking Barriers in Brazilian Electronic Music
For those unfamiliar with Curol’s work, this remix serves as a perfect introduction to one of Brazil’s most influential electronic music exports. She’s been a driving force in the Brazilian Afro House scene, not just through her music but as a trailblazer for female representation in electronic music.
Her performance resume reads like a festival bucket list: Rock in Rio, Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, and Ushuaïa, just to name a few. She’s also made waves at Amsterdam Dance Event and even performed at the Paris Olympics—talk about range.
The accolades speak for themselves too. Curol’s been featured on 1001Tracklists’ The Future of Dance list for four consecutive years and made history as the first Brazilian woman to release on All Day I Dream. Her tracks regularly hit number one on both Beatport and Traxsource, proving her appeal spans both underground and commercial spheres.
Embassy One’s Remix Series Continues
This “Beacon” remix continues Embassy One’s smart strategy of showcasing different perspectives on Monolink’s The Beauty Of It All material. Rather than just commissioning remixes from similar artists, they’re pulling from diverse corners of the electronic music world.
The result is a collection that shows how versatile and enduring Monolink’s songwriting really is. Whether it’s getting the Afro House treatment from Curol or different interpretations from other producers, these tracks prove they can support multiple creative visions without losing their identity.
Curol’s “Beacon” remix is available now on all platforms via Embassy One. Given her recent momentum and the quality of this rework, don’t be surprised if this becomes a staple in sets across festival stages this summer.
