Monokino (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) weaves ear-piercing synthesizers, angry guitar
riffs and pounding drums with a highly-exceptional voice to produce futuristic sounding,
awe-inspiring pop. Monokino is signed to China's largest independent label 'Modern Sky' and frequently 
participates in China's growing music festivals.
