Over the past few months, Australian DJ and producer Monster Machine has been igniting anticipation for her debut EP EXALTED, dropping a series of bold, high-impact singles that showcase her versatility and fearless approach to sound design. This week, she raises the bar once again with “Hopeless,” a blistering, high-energy track that firmly positions her as one of electronic music’s most compelling rising artists.
“I hope you enjoy Hopeless, my take on a gnarly drum and bass tune about heartbreak and longing, never fulfilled. Inspired heavily by Basstripper and his punchy sound, whilst embodying the heavy neuro-funk essence of a Noisia classic,” shares Monster Machine.
“Hopeless” plunges into the darker side of her creative spectrum, weaving together raw emotion and technical mastery. The track’s sharp production and explosive rhythms channel the influence of RL Grime, Nitepunk, and Knock2, blending elements of trap, drum & bass, and 140 to create a cinematic yet club-ready sound.
With EXALTED on the horizon, Monster Machine continues to define her signature style—one rooted in intensity, emotion, and innovation. “Hopeless” offers a glimpse into the powerful sonic world she’s building, setting the stage for one of the most exciting debuts of the year.
