Carlos “Mono” Ramírez and Humberto Polar started Monopolar back in 2000, shortly after they met, when they joined forces as Bogota’s La Sala Club resident DJ’s.
Bringing their joined backgrounds in both Jazz & Techno to the table, the two began experimenting in electronic production, and soon they began creating weekly joint DJ sets, moving swiftly to produce their own tracks and then onward to become a LIVE act. Their DJ experience led them instantly to the dance floor ethos, with a conceptual approach to their music: their Latin American origin. Away from the clichés and the obvious sampling, their tracks are deeply-rooted in the syncopated backbeat that defines the Afro-Latino sound through a contemporary Techno and House vocabulary.
Mono was a resident DJ at La Sala until the club closed in early 2010. His sets have achieved an almost-mythical status among the Bogotanian clubbers. Polar, meanwhile, moved to Mexico City in 2003, and has since traveled to Berlin regularly to produce.
From 2008, Polar has been leading the project, producing and playing at venues such as Berlin’s Suicide Circus, Club Der Visionaere, Picknick & Madchen Internat. In 2009, Monopolar won the “We Love Remix Contest” with a stab at Tiefschwarz’s “Yeah,” and was also chosen for the Mutek Mexico 5th Anniversary edition. The recent years have been really busy, as the Pantamuzik label continues to push boundaries in South America & beyond its shores.
Monopolar has played at big parties in different Latin countries along with the likes of Camea, Ryan Crosson and his reputation grows everyday as one of the finest Techno musicians from Latin America and a hard-working, passionate promoter of dance music at that part of the world.
