Third Room presents: Monty

Monty has quickly become recognized for his unique approach to bass music. Originally from the UK but now based in Toulouse, France, he helped pioneer what people call the Toulouse sound.

Releasing music since 2015, Monty has put out a series of critically acclaimed works, including his 2021 album Hit The Lights. He is a core artist on 1985 Music, the label curated by Alix Perez, where much of his catalog lives. He has also released on respected labels like Critical Music, Vision, and Flexout Audio.

Monty's sound draws deep inspiration from hip hop, dub, roots reggae, techno, and bass music in all its forms, blending those influences into something uniquely his own.

He has toured extensively, playing shows across North America, New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and around the world. Highlight performances include sets at Let It Roll, Outlook Festival, and Canada’s Shambhala Festival. As a pivotal artist in the underground dance scene, most weekends see Monty touring around Europe’s best clubs. His DJ sets are known for blending genres seamlessly moving between 140, garage, halftime, and drum & bass.

Monty remains a key figure pushing forward the sound of modern bass music.

“A purveyor of the Toulouse sound, 1985 phenom, and supreme talent. Monty Brimley has quickly established himself as all of the above and this couldn’t be more evident than on his debut album, Hit The Lights.” — UKF, December 2021
