Miss Monique’s trademark fusion of techno, trance and progressive has proven her a force to be reckoned with, and today sees her first release on Armada Music: ‘Subterranean’, in collaboration with acclaimed Canadian DJ and producer AVIRA, featuring Polish vocalist LUNA. Teased for months in Miss Monique and AVIRA’s sets, from Greece to Buenos Aires to New York City, this highly anticipated ID had fans begging for its release all summer long.
'Subterranean’ reveals a suspense-laden production that flawlessly intertwines the signature melodic outputs of the two producers. Spearheaded by a deep-digging bassline, anthemic chords and the palpable emotion that lies within LUNA’s vocal, the track lyrically explores a tumultuous romance spinning down into the subterranean, where the joys and terrors of love coexist, concealed by the surface.
"With AVIRA’s contribution to the production and LUNA’s vocals, I believe we have collectively crafted a record that feels perfectly at home on Armada Music,” says Miss Monique about her debut release on the label. “It means so much to me to have this support on the record.”
“Working with one of the scene’s fastest rising stars has been incredibly inspiring, and I’m over the moon with the huge fan response even before the track’s official release,” adds AVIRA. “I’m so excited to see this track pushed out into the world!”

Coupled with recent collaborations with Armin van Buuren and Chicane (‘Offshore’) and Live (‘Lightning Crashes’) and shows at the London’s Wembley OVO Arena, Hï and Ushuaia on Ibiza, Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Echostage DC and A State Of Trance In Utrecht, that makes the Canadian creator one of the most exciting acts in dance music today.
