Description

Monaqee are multi instrumentalist / pianist Bencze Molnar and producer Jules Hiero. Vanis is a bassist based in Budapest, deeply rooted in the city’s vibrant underground culture. Bencze and Vanis are members of the jazz fusion group Jazzbois. Being rooted in the underground hip hop and jazz scenes,the artists started this project to create a distinct sound, blending jazz, hip hop and lofi elements in a sophisticated way, that stands out from the crowd. The only feature on the Album is from Domenico Lancellotti, a pioneer of Brazilian beat culture. Robo Wars is a project born from three years of spontaneous sessions in Budapest. Over this time, the trio captured their best moments, weaving them into a smooth tapestry that blends jazztronica, hip-hop, and lofi beats into an analogue experience. Driven by electric bass, drum machines, and an arsenal of synthesizers including the Prophet, Juno, Moog, and the new UDO designs, Robo Wars feels alive, raw, and deeply musical. Each track breathes improvisation: Most of the material was captured live during jam sessions, with only minimal overdubs. The result is a project that preserves the spirit of freestyle creativity, much like a true jazz performance, later sculpted into structured songs by Jules Hiero.
