Miss Monique opens her listening diary with a top-tier playlist
Ukrainian DJ and producer Miss Monique, an undisputed reference in contemporary melodic techno and progressive house, shares her Playlist Of The Week: a fifteen-track selection that works as a snapshot of her current sonic universe. Far from a simple collection of favourites, the list draws a coherent narrative arc moving from pulsating groove to melodic euphoria, with a carefully placed pop nod at the very end.
Tracklist highlights
- Hot Sauce (Extended) – Kapuchon, Miss Monique, GLZ: A powerful opener at 129 BPM. Organic bassline, smoky textures, and that tension-and-release balance that defines Monique's signature sound. One of the most complete tracks in the selection.
- Rajada (Original Mix) – Agents Of Time, Miss Monique: The collaboration with Italian duo Agents Of Time is pure class. Hypnotic groove, enveloping percussion, and a progression that builds steadily. At 128 BPM, one of the darkest and most elegant moments of the set.
- Blue Moon Factory (Extended Mix) – Miss Monique: Her own production at 127 BPM that distils her full musical language: ethereal synthesizers, deep kick, and a melody that lodges itself in the subconscious. The centrepiece of the playlist and a statement of her current creative peak.
- 909 Pulse (Extended Mix) – Matara: The hardest track in the selection at 130 BPM. The title says it all: raw classic drum machine percussion with main-stage energy.
- Hypercolour (Extended Mix) – Foals, CamelPhat, Yannis: The most crossover pick. CamelPhat transforms Foals into club material without betraying the band's indie essence. At 122 BPM, it serves as the playlist's emotional breathing space.
- Beautiful People (Miss Monique Extended Remix) – David Guetta, Sia: A remix that elevates the pop source material into progressive territory with elegance and restraint.
Context and conclusion
The selection moves predominantly in the 124–130 BPM range, the natural territory of new-generation melodic techno and progressive house. Closing with Tiesto's Beautiful Places at 90 BPM acts as a palate cleanser, a curatorial detail that speaks to editorial maturity. A playlist that reflects an artist in peak form with a strong creative voice of her own.
