| | Sounds Like | Bjork married Hallucinogen and gave birth to a spawn of Satan but we're not sure whether Miles used to lew first. Ok, let's try this one: tilt your washine machine at a 45 degree angle, throw in a couple of cats in heat, a dash of catnip, oh and a couple of dashes of tabasco and launch it into the spin cycle. Not doing it? Definitely like a covenant of fascist nuns playing bingo at the Fermi Physics Lab. Bonobos playing bongos? Chinooks with Chainsaws? Like armored vehicles drag racing. Well then, a driving sub-sonic pulse accented with tribal rhythms, processed percussion, subliminal atmospheres, the ocassional anti-melody, and highly detailed frequency work. | | Record Label | Soular Records | | Type of Label | Indie |

| About onnomon |
Soon after surging and spawning from an early Serge synthesizer unit, Dean took a shining to the otherworldly sounds of electronics, or was it just the knobs and patchcords...probably the knobs. After being suckered into playing guitar for a progressive rock band French TV and a fun stint with an electric african-style pop band called Ube he was drawn towards the industrial tech metal bands. From this a taste for dance music ensued. In 1999 at an excellent camping rave he caught an earshot of psytrance, the Return to the Source crew had appropriated one of the sound systems. So armed with a love for the sound, the style, the dancing, the chemicals, errr...uh...the incense, a new musical focus was found.
The "big break" came when in 2001 Deanie Weenie from his "hometown" of Louisville Kentucky moved to New York's Hudson Valley and coupled into the New York City psytrance scene. He eventually hooked up with Deeper in Zen, Mind Warped, and D-Space, and the Machine Elf himself and thus began Soular Records. In the subsequent 5 years the Onnomon project released a number of tracks on Soular compilations, and a full-length album "No Monno" in 2004. Also, "Virtual God" was released on Yellow Sunshine Explosion's Classic Goa Vol. II- to be found in barginbins everywhere in Goa India. Onnomon's tracks span from sheer and utter tastelessness to some serious funkshun trance wid da hooks, and some evil dark tracks, for fun. The concept behind the music is to let the inspiration dictate the music, not the genre, this inspiration is handed down from the chaos around us. Consequently, Onnomon tracks tend to blur stylistic lines.
