Out September 5 via Embassy One, the German artist delivers an arresting breakbeat cut exploring modern disconnection and human awakening
German multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and producer Monolink returns with “Perfect World”, the latest single from his forthcoming third studio album The Beauty Of It All, set for release on September 26, 2025 via Embassy One.
In “Perfect World”, Monolink ventures into new rhythmic territory, swapping his trademark four-on-the-floor pulse for a groove inspired by UK garage and breakbeat. The result is a track that feels both intimate and kinetic; a hypnotic blend of shuffling percussion, warm synth textures and Steffen’s unmistakable, contemplative vocals. The production carries a sense of restless energy, mirroring the song’s themes of modern distraction and disconnection. Melodically rich yet spacious in its arrangement, it invites listeners into a soundscape where each beat feels like a heartbeat and every chord resonates with unspoken emotion.
Speaking about the record, Monolink commented:
„The idea for this track started as a jam session with my friend Severin Kantereit where we lay the foundation for the groove and the chords. I wanted to create something different and break out of the 4 to the floor groove, feeling inspired by UK garage and break beats. The song and lyrics came to me on a morning in a café in Hamburg, watching people rushing to work and following their jobs, seeking constant distraction on their phones. Including myself.“
Paired with the single is a striking official music video directed by Nicola von Leffern (who previously helmed the visual offering for Mesmerized). The film presents a sharp, cinematic contrast between digital isolation and physical awakening.
Set in a world where people move through life with their eyes locked on glowing screens, the video blends the tragic and the absurd: a person nods off mid-scroll and drops their phone on their face; another struggles to lift their head in the mirror each morning, even with both hands; a massage therapist works one-handed while doom-scrolling with the other. Anonymous crowds drift through the streets, bathed in the cold light of their devices, until a rupture occurs.
Two strangers make eye contact. A spark of connection spreads. Their bodies breathe, move and dance. This awakening ripples outward into a collective eruption of raw, unchoreographed expression; a defiant, human counterpoint to technological paralysis. Each gesture declares: “I am here. Not online. I feel this moment.”
Perfect World is the latest taste of The Beauty Of It All, Monolink’s most personal and sonically adventurous work to date, written in solitude in rural Germany and steeped in themes of impermanence, beauty and human connection. Known for seamlessly blending live instrumentation, evocative vocals and electronic production, Monolink continues to push the boundaries of modern electronic music, delivering tracks that resonate as deeply on headphones as they do on festival stages.
Coinciding with the album release, Monolink will bring The Beauty Of ItAll to life on an extensive European tour this fall. Renowned for his electrifying live shows – where electronic beats merge with live guitar, vocals and immersive storytelling – Monolink’s performances are both sonically and visually transportive. Fans can expect to hear brand-new material alongside reimagined versions of favourites from across his discography, all delivered with the dynamic energy and intimacy that have made his shows a must-see.
Monolink – Perfect World is out now via Embassy One.

Der Track ist die vierte offizielle Single aus Monolinks drittem Studioalbum The Beauty Of It All, das weltweit am 26. September erscheint. Der deutsche Multiinstrumentalist, Singer-Songwriter und Produzent Monolink veröffentlicht heute seine neue Single „In My Place“, den neuesten Vorboten seines kommenden dritten Studioalbums The Beauty Of It All, das am 26. September 2025 weltweit über Embassy One erscheinen wird. Ein zutiefst energetischer und emotional aufgeladener Track, getragen von treibenden Rhythmen, zurückhaltendem Gesang und einem verzerrten zentralen Riff – „In My Place“ entstand ursprünglich aus einer spontanen Synthesizer-Jam-Session zwischen Monolink und Produzent Toby Siebert und entwickelte sich organisch zu dem, was nun weitgehend als Live-One-Take aufgenommen wurde. „Dieser Track begann als Synth-Jam mit Toby Siebert, und das fertige Stück ist im Grunde eine Live-Aufnahme dieser Session“, erklärt Monolink. „Ich höre ihn mir immer noch sehr gerne an, weil damals so viel Energie im Raum war – und ich spüre sie sofort wieder, wenn ich den Song auflege.“ Diese Energie ist das Herzstück von „In My Place“ – ein pulsierender, emotional aufgeladener Track, der mit analoger Wärme und ungefilterter Spontanität aufblüht. Es ist der neueste Vorgeschmack auf das kommende Album The Beauty Of It All, das im September erscheint, und folgt auf die bereits veröffentlichten Singles „Mesmerized“, „Powerful Play“ und „Avalanche“. The Beauty Of It All markiert ein neues kreatives Kapitel für Monolink (alias Steffen Linck) und befasst sich mit Themen wie Vergänglichkeit, Schönheit und menschlicher Verbindung. Als sein bisher persönlichstes und introspektivstes Werk beschrieben, wurde das Album in der Abgeschiedenheit des ländlichen Nordens Deutschlands konzipiert – dort, wo Steffen zu seinen Wurzeln zurückkehrte, um einen Klang zu erschaffen, der zeitlos und emotional berührend ist. „Für dieses Album bin ich zurück an den Anfang gegangen – aufs Land “, sagt Monolink. „Umgeben von Natur und Stille. Es wurde zur persönlichsten Musik, die ich je gemacht habe. Eine Reflexion all dessen, was mich hierhergebracht hat. Die Schönheit der Freude – und des Schmerzes. The Beauty Of It All.“ Bekannt für seine genreübergreifenden Live-Shows und seine klanglichen Erzählungen, hat sich Monolink in der modernen elektronischen Musik etabliert. Mit zwei gefeierten Alben (Amniotic, 2018; Under Darkening Skies, 2021) hat Monolink die Fähigkeit bewiesen, Genregrenzen zu überschreiten und immersive Klanglandschaften zu erschaffen – was ihm eine treue internationale Fangemeinde eingebracht hat. Mit weniger als zwei Monaten bis zur Veröffentlichung seines dritten Studioalbums verspricht The Beauty Of It All, sein bislang offenstes und innovativstes Werk zu werden. Begleitend zur Albumveröffentlichung hat Monolink kürzlich eine große Europatour für den Herbst 2025 angekündigt, auf der er The Beauty Of It All live auf die Bühne bringt – in einigen der ikonischsten Konzerthallen des Kontinents. Bekannt für seine fesselnden Live-Performances, die elektronische Instrumentierung mit Live-Gesang und Gitarre verbinden, sind Monolinks Shows dafür berühmt, die Grenze zwischen Konzert und elektronischem Set zu verwischen – und introspektive, emotionale Musik in ein mitreißendes Live-Erlebnis zu verwandeln. Die Tour wird mindestens fünfzehn Termine in Städten wie Wien, London, Paris, Madrid, Istanbul sowie mehrere in Deutschland umfassen – weitere Termine werden noch bekannt gegeben.

Tokyo, August 1st – Global dance titan R3HAB steps back into the FATAL FURY arena with a one-two punch, this time delivering a duo of singles in ‘Running On Empty’ and ‚No Consequence‘ to the soundtrack of the iconic franchise’s latest installment, City of the Wolves. This marks the Dutch-Moroccan DJ and producer’s third contribution to the game’s OST, where he joins a roster of electronic talent that’s as influential as it is diverse, including Solomun, Alok, Alan Walker, ARTBAT, and many more. Get ready for the fight on August 1, when both tracks land on streaming services worldwide.
Pre-Save: https://fatalfury.lnk.to/RunningOnEmpty ‚Running On Empty‘ and ‚No Consequence‘ complement each other like yin and yang, yet each firmly holds its own identity. They share a production sound palette and an upbeat tempo (pushing past 130 BPM), but the contrasting vocal treatments and structures ensure each carries its own aesthetic and energy. The raspy topline and dramatic builds of ‚Running On Empty‘ inject a fresh mainstage-ready feel, while the soft, processed delivery and breakbeat bridge of ‚No Consequence‘ give it an emotive and dynamic edge. Together, they bring a much-needed dose of adrenaline for heading into the FATAL FURY fight.
Since its arcade debut in 1991, FATAL FURY has stood at the forefront of fighting game culture, evolving from a cult classic into a global phenomenon. With each new chapter, the franchise doesn’t only push the boundaries of virtual combat, but style and storytelling too, a tradition now continued through music on The City of the Wolves‘ official soundtrack. Expect additional singles from Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Luciano, as well as another release from Solomun, as the soundtrack moves towards completion. The fight rages on until then, with ‚Running On Empty‘ and ‚No Consequence‘ from R3HAB dropping worldwide on August 1.
