Due for worldwide release on August 21 via Embassy One, the single marks the beginning of a new creative chapter for the Berlin-based artist and multi-instrumentalist
Following the acclaimed release of his latest album The Beauty Of It All and the completion of its expansive remix campaign, Monolink now opens a compelling new chapter with the announcement his brand new original single, ‘What You Running From’, arriving August 21 via Embassy One.
Entering a new creative cycle, ‘What You Running From’ distills everything that has made Monolink one of electronic music’s most distinctive voices while pushing his sound into new, yet familiar territory. Driven by pulsating rhythms and an irresistibly playful groove, the track balances dancefloor momentum with the emotional depth that has become synonymous with Steffen Linck’s songwriting over the past decade.
Warped synth textures weave around warm organ riffs as hypnotic percussion steadily builds beneath his unmistakable, melancholic vocal delivery. The result is a record that moves with purpose, marrying kinetic club energy to the cinematic, emotionally rich songwriting that defines Monolink’s sound.
Lyrically, ‘What You Running From’ explores the quiet tension between escape and confrontation, asking difficult questions without offering easy answers. It’s a theme that resonates throughout Monolink’s catalogue, but here it’s delivered with renewed confidence and an infectious sense of movement, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the rhythm while reflecting on what’s beneath the surface.
As his first original release since concluding the The Beauty Of It All album cycle, ‘What You Running From’ marks more than just a new single; it signals the beginning of Monolink’s next creative chapter. Building on the emotional storytelling and cinematic production that have captivated audiences around the world, he continues to demonstrate his rare ability to blur the boundaries between electronic music and singer-songwriter craftsmanship, creating music that resonates as deeply emotionally as it does on the dancefloor.
