'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!”
A trailblazing Ukrainian DJ, producer and label owner in the melodic house and techno space, Miss Monique has captivated the electronic music scene with her unparalleled fusion of techno rhythms, trance, and progressive tunes.
Ranked among the top 10 fastest-rising electronic music artists by Viberate, Miss Monique (whose real name is Alesia Arkusha) continues to solidify her position as a force to be reckoned with in the industry. Notable highlights in her career include her Cercle performance with over 3 million views, an invitation to David Guetta's Future Rave events, Tomorrowland 2022 and EDC Mainstage 2022/2023, and being named Artist of the Month by Beatport in December 2021. Miss Monique's talents have also been recognized by legendary BBC Radio 1, where she recorded a unique mix in February 2023.
Renowned artists have championed Miss Monique's extensive discography, including Pete Tong, Vintage Culture, CamelPhat, David Guetta, Tiesto, Nora En Pure, and The Chainsmokers. Standout releases include her remix of Sied van Riel's 'Rush', which became the most-sold Progressive House track on Beatport in 2022, and her single 'Concorde', which spent six weeks in the Beatport top 10 Melodic Techno chart. Her latest release, 'City Boy', has been released on Adam Beyer's esteemed label Drumcode.

A guiding light. A common language. A connection. All those things epitomize AVIRA’s approach to dance music and the effect he has on his global following. Tickling the sweet spot between left-field melodic techno and genuine dance floor appeal, his music exudes a sense of purpose that appeals to casual listeners and purists alike. 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.
