HAEZER Releases His MONKEY EP

  • Wed, 1st Feb, 2012

On the 30th of January, HAEZER released his much anticipated MONKEY EP through SHAX TRAX. His 5th official release, Monkey features two original tracks - Monkey and Gangsta ft. Circe - and four remixes of Monkey by Doc Trashz, Pelussje, You Killing Me and Andy's ILL.

"This is a fun track, perfect for peak time DJ sets that's driven by rhythm instead of melody, with a cheeky playful undertone."

Monkey was made by HAEZER in three days, and then he spent around a year making small changes, getting remixes for it and finding the right label to release it through. Whilst playing around with sounds and melodies, unexplainable inspiration came to him and the track morphed into a circusy vibe and the visuals of monkeys performing at a carnival came to mind. He decided to call it Monkey, and then did the vocals for the track.

“It's a bit different from my other tracks, in the sense that it's quite simple.  The signature is the wobbles and the heavy distorted buildups. It's a bit more conceptual.”

Monkey is currently available on BEATPORT, and will soon also be available on most digital outlets.

On the 31st of January, after one day only, the Monkey EP was already at number 16 of the Top 100 Electro House Releases on the Beatport Chart!

HAEZER was recently chosen as the number 4 best DJ in South Africa by DJ MAG.

HAEZER just returned from Thailand where he was invited by Smirnoff Thailand to headline their CNX event in Chiang Mai. He is also back in South Afriica after a two month tour of Europe in November and December 2011. He will be going to Australia in February, will be headlining the Cape Town RAMFEST electro stage after Netsky, is due to play USA and UK in May and June, will once again be performing at Beatpatrol festival in Austria in July as well as Emmaboden festival in Sweden.

He is currently working on a remix for Make The Girl Dance due for release on ULTRA Records, and will then be in studio for the next two/three months working on his new 6 track EP.
