Miss Monique presents Rajada: a chart that defines melodic house & techno in 2024
Ukrainian DJ and producer Miss Monique once again proves why she stands among the most influential voices in melodic house & techno with Rajada, a twelve-track chart that reads as a precise sonic statement. Far from a simple playlist, this selection maps the current ecosystem of the genre with authority, blending her own material with high-profile collaborations and bets on rising talent.
The opener: Agents Of Time leading the charge
The title track kicks things off with Rajada (Original Mix), co-signed with Italian duo Agents Of Time on Tomorrowland Music. Running at 128 BPM in D Major, the track unfolds a dense melodic architecture where layered synthesis intertwines with a firm rhythmic foundation — the kind of opener that communicates intent from bar one.
Labels and artists that build the narrative
- TH;EN & Mia Mendi – Fade Away (Siona Records): one of the chart's most atmospheric moments, with a harmonic progression in Gb Major that builds emotional tension gradually.
- Nu Aspect – Mind Illusion (Catch & Release): a tight production at 127 BPM in F Major reaffirming this project's ability to craft hypnotic soundscapes.
- Miss Monique – Blue Moon Factory (MAHOOL): a solo piece in A Major showcasing the artist's compositional maturity through warm textures and flawless progression.
- Argy & TNY – Running (NEWORLD): veteran Argy brings weight and experience to a collaboration that flows with effortless elegance at 126 BPM.
- Oscar L – When the Bassline Hits (Truesoul): Adam Beyer's imprint hosts this 128 BPM cut that, true to its title, hits with authority in the low-end frequencies.
- Miss Monique & Glowal – Rollin' (Siona Records): a satisfying closer that brings the chart full circle with the same energy it opened with.
Variety without losing coherence
The inclusion of Up In My Sights by ID ID and Greggio (Diynamic) in indie dance territory offers a welcome breath of air, proving that Miss Monique is not afraid to expand the spectrum without sacrificing editorial cohesion. The BPM range sits between 126 and 130, ensuring a smooth listening experience from start to finish. Rajada is, ultimately, a chart best experienced as an album.
