When you thought Electronic producer/singer-songwriter Steffen Linck, best known as Monolink, had shown us every shade of his musical palette with The Beauty Of It All, he surprises us again. ‘What You Running From’ is his next bold step, a sneak peek into the new adventures his creative heart is chasing.
The Track
With this track, Monolink captures the magic that’s made him one of electronic music’s most unforgettable voices, while moving his sound into new territory that still feels like home. The song pulses with a playful groove that makes your feet itch to move, but underneath, there’s that signature Monolink depth that yanks at your heart even as you lose yourself on the dancefloor. You can hear warped synths swirling around hypnotic percussion, building up under Monolink’s unmistakable, bittersweet vocals. This song moves your mind, blending energy with the kind of storytelling that makes Monolink’s music stay after the last note. The lyrics? They’re a gentle battle between running away and facing what haunts us, asking the questions we all dodge but never quite answering them. It’s classic Monolink, but with a new spark inviting you to dance, reflect, and maybe even find a piece of yourself in the rhythm.
This is his first original release since wrapping up the The Beauty Of It All era, and ‘What You Running From’ is the opening line of Monolink’s next story. He’s still forming tales and emotional soundscapes that have won hearts around the world; you can check out his next performance at Karrusel, or stream ‘What You Running From’ now on all platforms.
