Twenty-four years on from its original release on Imbalance Computer Music, Monolake’s third album Gravity finally lands on wax for the first time, courtesy of Field Records.

A foundational document in the evolution of minimal and dub techno, Gravity distills Monolake’s unmistakable blend of spatial precision, kinetic rhythm structures, and sub-heavy architecture into a deeply immersive listening experience. 

Arriving just after the turn of the millennium, Gravity marked a turning point for Monolake. With co-founder Gerhard Behles moving on to other ventures, Henke produced most of the album solo and journeyed deeper into spatial exploration and the dub-informed principles that underpinned their project from the start.

This first vinyl edition, remastered by the album’s key sonic architect Robert Henke, embodies a colder, more industrial tone compared to Monolake’s earlier works, with a meticulous focus on texture and spatiality. It features hypnotic loops, eerie ambient washes, and a sense of sonic precision that feels almost architectural.
