Something Wicked artist Cookie Monsta represents the loud and grime side of bass music. Born and raised in Nottingham, the sound that comes from this producer and DJ has been described as a “demonic bass-saw that easily lacerates the ear drums.”
From a very early age, Tony Cook was always interested in music and video games. As a child, he spent hours on his brother’s Playstation creating sounds and making loops on Music 2000. Seeding his studies of music technology, Tony transitioned easily into music production, “I started to produce at college around October 2007 and it’s just evolved from there really. DJing then was in demand after people wanted me playing my songs at their clubs and now have been all over the world and I’m now hoping someone will put a rave on the moon!”
His barbaric basslines and grimy style quickly started to generate mass appeal and soon he received support from Flux Pavilion. Intrigued by Tony’s ability to create unique and mystifying noises, Flux invited him to join Circus Records. Not long after, Cookie Monsta was born, releasing his first single “Ginger Pubes/Blurgh!” and breaking into the world of bass.
His recent single “Come Find Me” featuring Flux Pavilion, is already clocking in over 200,000 plays on Soundcloud. An intense journey layerd with pristine vocals and unpredictable breaks, this track encapsulates Cookie Monsta’s unique sound. Tony’s love of music is deeply rooted, “If you’re passionate about making music and you know you want to make music then knuckle down and stay on it. If people doubt you carry on, no matter how bad things get. Music isn’t my hobby, it’s my life.” We couldn’t agree more. Come find Cookie Monsta on Saturday, October 26th at Something Wicked.
