Miss Monique debuts on Insomniac’s Interstellar Recordings with “Look At You”

Miss Monique makes her debut on Insomniac’s “Interstellar Recordings” imprint with new single, “Look At You”.

With the release date of 19th April landing on the weekend of Miss Monique‘s second Coachella 2024 performance, “Look At You” feels like a fitting way to consolidate the Ukrainian artist’s meteoric rise across melodic house and techno with a welcoming embrace to the Insomniac family – one of the United States’ biggest tastemakers in electronic music.

Here’s what Miss Monique had to say about it: “‘Look At You’ is the first record I’ve produced with a big room / stage specifically in mind.” 

Inhabiting the space between trance and techno, Interstellar Recordings is a fresh label project from the industry behemoth and continues Insomniac‘s esteemed reputation for supporting trailblazing music from the world’s biggest headline DJs. Channeling the eclectic energy found in every Miss Monique show, “Look At You” pulls no punches with a dark, sparse production that leans into sawtooth bass, anthemic synths and an ethereal vocal breakdown that matches the label’s embrace of both light and dark elements.

Capable of filling cavernous festival stages as well as dark, low-ceilinged clubs, “Look At You” perfectly represents the artistry of Miss Monique; with momentum continuing to increase worldwide, her recent BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix debut was a statement of intent for the next step in her already impressive journey.

Marking ten years of her globally revered YouTube mix series, the channel is on course to surpass a million subscribers this Spring, a moment in time that sees her hosting a label takeover at London’s Fabric, and preparing to play iconic events including Tomorrowland and Dalt Vila, Ibiza.
