Dgtlmonkey – The Land Of Dirty Beats And Bananas [REVIEW]
Last week, the postman rang my bell and I got Dgtlmonkey‘s debut album called ‘The Land Of Dirty Beats And Bananas’. The disc featured 10 tracks full of experimental Electro music. When I played it on my boombox, I thought I was listening to the soundtrack of a science fiction film. Minutes later, I realized this is the type of music Mr. Oizo, Justice, Boys Noize actually produce. I’m sure there are people who like to listen to a variety of mixed sounds integrated into one single track, although it may sound noisy. In my own personal opinion, I believe this is not ideal for clubs, however, this type of music will sound great in small bars; I have to recognize that the future of music is going to sound someday like Dgtlmonkey. Well, I have three favorite songs:
Where Are You Now: The song reminds me of a French DJ called Tom Snare. Yeah, it sounds a little bit like “Philosophy” and it could be a great debut single.
Always Never: It’s like most Chill Out songs, just listen to the rhythm and relax your muscles. 🙂
Funky Monkey: No joking, you’ll hear monkey sounds + funky danceable beats. Somehow, it makes me feel like if I was inside a jungle lol.
Creative minds don’t cease in their efforts to find electronic background music for videos. The good news is that Shizo van de Sunflower shares his anniversary album which will be of great benefit to your projects!
Whether you’re uploading clips on YouTube or TikTok, here’s a 14-track material entitled ‘Works 2006-2016’ that will truly enhance your visuals. Despite the upbeat nature of most of these tunes, there are also a few ones showcasing a delightfully laid-back touch.
As a matter of fact, the low quality of royalty-free music was the motivation behind Shizo van de Sunflower’s wanting to help video creators. So, back in the 2000s, he went to Creative Commons and marketed the tracks on Jamendo.
In subsequent years, the evolution of his production techniques meant a dope flow while channeling his emotions into sophisticated melodies and rich instrumental tones. Consequently, he remastered his gems and decided to move his productions to popular streaming platforms.
Shizo van de Sunflower is still making a name for himself after his recent success with the previous album ‘Drone 1.’
To the surprise of many, he has surpassed over 20k streams on Spotify. Not to mention, his DnB single “Changes” is currently the best song in his catalog.
Well, from now on, if electronic background music for videos is exactly what you need, whatever first comes into your head should be his timeless body of work. At the end of the day, inspiring and encouraging others to visualize something with his sounds must be a rewarding experience for him.

“When I was living in Paris, the change of scenery drew me to start writing some solo music. It felt very liberating for me to write songs on my own. The EP is definitely ‘darker’ and more visceral than songs I’ve previously released. I’ve always wanted to release a project like this because I feel like it’s the only way for me to channel certain emotions – and I feel like this sound is a big part of what I wanted my project to sound like when I originally started it.
I don’t think it’s about anything in particular but it does reflect this state of introspection/dreaminess that I experienced when I first moved to Europe. That’s why I named it ‘REVES’ – it means ‘dreams’ in french.” — NASAYA
With every release, NASAYA simultaneously paves the way for a new and invigorating era for the genre landscape. Combining nimble breakbeats, chopped vocal samples, and complex polyrhythms, NASAYA’s work is more than music but a spectrum of art.
