Monolink Is Up To Big Things Like a Video & A Remix
Monolink Releases Music Video for Latest Single ‘The Prey’ and Gets a Remix on Top of It
Monolink has been up to big things! Recently, he released the track The Prey. Now, this track gets not only a new music video but a remix as well! We’re going to outline both of the releases in this post, so let’s get started with the video!
The Prey’s video was directed by Paraic McGloughlin. The video uses distinct visuals and striking photography to truly share the feelings behind the track. For instance, the themes of seduction, exploitation, and self-realization are explored and discovered throughout the video.
Paraic McGloughlin commented — “This video took on a life of its own, starting in one place and ending somewhere quite different, touching on the idea that people can and do in some way or another prey on one another, their surroundings and exploit what the planet has to offer. We aimed to create a sense of searching for something pure, amidst the sometimes messy animalistic nature of the world we live in.”
Paraic McGloughlin is an artist from Sligo, Ireland. He holds a BA in painting from Ponzan, Poland. His focus is generally portraiture which is illuminated by painting, photographing, and filming the face. He holds other music video credits including ‘Circular’ and ‘Platonic’ for Max Cooper, Weval’s ‘Someday,’ and many more thought-provoking and imagery-laden projects.

German artist Monolink’s last single, The Prey, was a huge success. He wants to expand on the success as he works with Mind Against to create and explore a dancefloor-oriented version of the original track.

Alessandro and Federico Fognini transform the original track into a whole new beast. They add their mesmerizing spin on Steffen Linck’s sultry vocal and rhythms to create a new beast altogether.
