Behind the Mainstage : Release Notes

Marco Strous makes no apology in his return to Black Book Records, delivering a groove-heavy club weapon with ‘Monkey Swag’ as he rides months of sold-out shows and breakout momentum across the US. A punchy tech house roller packed with chunky drums, playful vocal chops, and undeniable dancefloor swagger, it’s a peak-time statement built on tight percussion and a rolling low-end. The release lands at a moment when Strous is becoming one of the most talked-about names in the scene. His rapid rise has been fueled by viral IDs like ‘Professor X’ (supported by Beltran), a hyper engaged fan base, and packed shows across the country. His sets alongside Chris Lake at major venues like Red Rocks, Bill Graham in San Francisco, and Brooklyn Storehouse have introduced him to massive new audiences, while his recent headline performances – including a sold-out night at Zey Zey in Miami and a packed-out show at Spybar Chicago – have solidified a fiercely loyal fan base. From Insomniac’s Escape Halloween to our upcoming showcase at Club Space Miami during Art Basel, The Concourse Project, Academy LA, Nova SD, and more, Strous has quickly become a mainstay on America’s biggest stages. With standout cuts like, ‘Tootsie Pop’, ‘Snogo’ with Gabe, ‘In The Park / Snakes’ on Black Book ID’s, and ‘BaBaBa (Hangover)’ with Chris Lorenzo, Strous has cemented himself as a staple on dancefloors and across tastemaker sets from Michael Bibi, Disclosure, Mau P, Dom Dolla, FISHER, Odd Mob, Beltran, and more. ‘Monkey Swag’ arrives as a definitive statement in this breakout era for Strous, marking a new level of scale, momentum, and demand for the UK producer – built to outpace everything before it.
