DESCRIPTION:
UK Eclectic Mix Of Breaks , MInimal Techno Deep House, Breakbeat, Downbeat Electronica & UK Garage
Sharing a name with the beloved series of live events they launched in 2024, 'Pure Devotion' is Overmono’s most ambitious project to date. It’s the sound of beautiful imperfections, machine malfunctions and happy accidents, harnessed by the unflinching confidence that Overmono - aka brothers Tom and Ed Russell - have gained through years at the vanguard of underground electronic music, and subsequent breakthrough as one of the defining dance music acts of the decade.
Across the 11 tracks, Overmono have pushed their recording process into bold new territories, adopting experimental production techniques that involve synthesisers from the 70s and 80s, an antiquated train announcement speaker, and literally baking a crash cymbal in the oven. There’s a powerful sense of intention and physicality embedded in every choice, which extends to the emotive vocal features from revered British poet John Joseph Holt, close collaborator Kindora, and Paul Institute’s Ruthven. It’s an album that chooses emotion over desensitisation. Craft over efficiency. It's a labour of love. 'Pure Devotion'.
What started as a radical reimagining of Overmono’s live show in 2024 evolved into a phenomenon - from headlining Glastonbury’s West Holts to selling out London’s Alexandra Palace and curating Manchester’s Warehouse Project. As 'Pure Devotion' grew onstage in front of tens of thousands of people, its core ideas deepened and crystallised via isolated writing and recordings retreats to Spain and Iceland with nothing but two synths and an FX unit, channeling the momentum into the most life-affirming and groundbreaking music of their career.

Last FM Information on Overmono
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Overmono are the two brothers Ed Russel (Tessela) and Tom Russel (Truss, MPIA3). Under their respective artist names Truss and Tessela, they have forged formidable individual reputations as producers. Defining tracks such as Truss’ ‘Kymin Lea’ and ‘Beacon’ and Tessela’s ‘Rough 2’ and ‘Hackney Parrot’ for the likes of R&S, Perc Trax, and their own Poly Kicks label, have encapsulated so much of what is exciting and vital in UK underground, electronic music. Their collaborative project Overmono sees Tom and Ed come together on record for the first time.
In their own words:
"Despite doing some live shows together and the fact that we’re brothers, we hadn’t ever really written music together and wanted to start something new. We decided to head to a remote cottage in rural Wales, near to where we grew up. The trip ended up being the most creative stint either of us had ever had and after a week we had the foundations for Overmono." Read more on Last.fm.
