Santa Monica, CA (Top40 Charts/ Interscope Records) London-based EDM trio MONSTA announce the premiere of the
Alabama directed video for their new single "Messiah" today on VEVO. Comprised of producers Rocky and
Rufio with vocals from front man Skaar, the rising group is a product of the UK dance scene whose progressive sound and uncompromising refusal to be pigeon-holed by any one genre has been making waves with peers and live audiences alike. MONSTA will release the Messiah EP via iTunes May 7th.
In the wake of the
Skrillex and Nero remix of MONSTA's track "Holdin On," the band's debut EP reached No.1 on both the UK and US iTunes electronic chart selling over 100,000 downloads and prompting music bloggers to cast the spotlight on the trio, further cementing their crossover status and underground dance scene credentials.
"Messiah" combines all the best parts of electronica, dance, soul and gospel with producers Rocky and
Rufio injecting an unmistakable and infectious energy to the track which sounds as euphoric on speakers as it does on the dance floor. But what makes MONSTA uniquely different from anything in the current EDM scene are Skaar's soaring vocals- his inimitable voice, which
Skrillex describes as "like f*** angels are singing," driving "Messiah" like an unstoppable juggernaut.
Having toured extensively through the UK,
Europe and US with the likes of
Knife Party, Kill The Noise, Nero and Swedish House Mafia, MONSTA have built up a large and loyal live following through their infectiously energetic performances- evidenced most recently in the U.S. at Swedish House Mafia's LA Masquerade Motel and in Austin at SXSW.
