Monarke

**Monarke Biography**

Monarke is the electronic music alias of Dutch producer Thomas Rietema, known for crafting lush, hypnotic tracks that sit at the intersection of melodic techno and deep house. With releases on respected labels like Stil vor Talent and his own imprint, Something Happening Somewhere, he’s built a reputation for blending emotive atmospheres with driving rhythms—perfect for both introspective listens and dancefloor moments. Recent tracks like “Departure,” “Blur,” and the dreamy “Between Us” showcase his knack for weaving haunting melodies into immersive sonic journeys, while remixes like “Shadows of You” highlight his versatility. Whether he’s dropping extended mixes (see “Dwalen”) or experimenting with moody textures (“Brood”), Monarke’s music feels like a late-night drive through shifting emotions—always moving, always evolving.
