Hi there!
D-monCk here "D – monk" aka Dave Coconate. I'm a dj/producer from Chicago Illinois that creates and mixes all genres of music through the theme of the hooded monk.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Growing up, music has always been a part of my life from my grandmother Mercia Fiore performing with Elvis Presley to my mother being featured on the power hour with John Powers. This always influenced me to create something that not only I enjoy but everyone can enjoy and that's why as a producer I chose to create any genre of music that I feel reaches people the most. After hearing so many awesome producers in the electronic scene such as Deorro, Jauz, Tiesto, and Destruco, this really inspired me to enter this scene as these were some producers and djs that I truly looked up to. I have produced several different genres ranging from future bass to hip hop. Currently my latest project that I am working on is very house oriented with genres like bass house and g house. I've always love to see people full of energy and I felt that bringing this element to light with my style was a must do.
What´s new right now?
Currently the project that is being finished is an EP called "House of Friar". This is gonna feature 2 bass house tracks with the super talented producer known as k.a.r and a g house track that I am really excited to share with everyone. I also have a few videos coming out as well that I'm putting together with my team to help promote the tracks with some fun comedy. I do have a few shows coming up in Chicago that can all be found on my Facebook and Instagram pages and some fun giveaways and merchandise that's coming soon!
