“Kids of Summer” by Monotronic is a youth-oriented song that explores themes like limitless opportunities and endless possibilities for young people who are just waiting to seize the day.
At first, when the music begins it will feel as if you have just started watching a movie. The album’s high octane and colorfully kaleidoscope beat makes one feel like a true summertime. Visually it has the right elements through which one can easily identify it with youth. Even the passionate vocals play an important role and probably an important factor that makes it catchier to listen to than standard contemporary EDM songs. Besides, listening to the track will make you think of underground dancepop hit.
Perhaps the songs will resonate to a Bohemian young man coming of age, who is filled with yearning and curiosity to get out and experience the world.
The music is already out on some of the popular music platforms like YouTube and Spotify.

Monotronic’s “Kids of Summer” cannot be categorized under any specific genre. However, if you are curious about its roots, then what better way to understand than to trace back the life of its brainchild – Ramsey Elkholy, who is an anthropologist and musician / producer.
The New York-based collective pillage dance floor-ready grooves with impressive instrumentation, verging on virtuosity, while staying rooted in eloquent song craft. “I traveled pretty consistently for most of my 20’s, lived in other countries, and have always tried to stay open to new experiences” Elkholy says. “Later as an anthropologist, my research interests led me to the jungles of Indonesia, where I lived for two years, mostly taking notes and observing the people I was living among, basically trying to be a fly on the wall. That’s something that will always stay with me, that curiosity of the world and other people.”
These experiences filter through the genre-crossing songs of Monotronic. Settling back in New York, Elkholy made the decision not to pursue academia, but instead to focus on music, which led to shows throughout New York and the release of the band’s self-titled debut album in 2019.
After the cycle behind the first album, Elkholy decided to shift gears, focusing less on playing gigs and more on recording and songwriting, which led to a series of upcoming singles and videos to be released throughout 2020.
