Artist Interview: Cookie Monsta
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- Tony Cook was just a kid when he saw his brother playing Music 2000 on his Playstation console and in an instant, after seeing two sounds combined to form something entirely new, Tony knew that music was his calling. After attending music college and getting exposed to Reason, his ability to make big sounds and killer beats was quickly apparent. It wasn't long before Tony was known to the world as Cookie Monsta - DJ, Producer, and Subwoofer-punisher extraordinaire.
We visited Tony in his Nottingham, UK studio to get an insight into how he layers Malström synths up to make his big speaker-rattling sounds.
Rest in peace Tony, you absolute legend. Been blasting your tunes out for years, definitely a big inspiration for me.
He's dead?😐
We never really die, we fade away
Cookie Monsta came across as such a relatable, genuine and funny person. With the industry awash with fakes and frauds, he was a flicker of fantastic normality. He made some killer tunes, and he'll be missed by so many. Rest in peace, Tony.
And at the end it wasn't enough for him at the end struggled with his demons
RIP COOOOOOKIIIIEEEEEEE
R.I.P COOKIE MONSTAA ❤️😪
unreal man. had no idea a breakdown of my favorite track of his existed on youtube. grateful. rest in peace to an absolute legend.
We met for 3 hours to interview and I edited for a few days. Cookie Monsta did a really cool demo and taught me a lot about dividing bass lines up between similar but different sounds to keep them interesting. I loved it and to share!
after 9 years ive decided to check on this video because its why ive started producing in the first place. still use reason to this day. then i wanted to check on cookie monsta and saw that he died 2 years ago.i just wanna say the homie changed my life for the better as well as reason :)
I gotta say I respect cookie monsta a lot more now after watching this
Rest in peace to this absolute fucking legend. We will all miss you greatly, Tony.
Rest in Peace man.
Some of your tracks is pure nostalgia and will always be to me.
He makes some of the best dubstep out there
RIP bro, this video was such a big help and how I feel in love with this tune and sound design, so thank you so much.
He will always be one of my favorite producers, ever since Bliss and Relax, I have loved his tunes
I still remember this 7 years ago... one of the best left us. Max respect for the master we will miss you. Thank you for you did for the bass lovers
I’m not even from the UK and I enjoyed listening to Cookie Monsta.
R.I.P you legend loved your music you inspired me so much and you seem so genuinely nice!
"did you play it for your friends?" - "yeah" , "did they like it?" - "no" ahhahaha very relatable when you are surrounded by people new to dubstep or hates dubstep
borgore got me into dubstep. cookie monsta made me love it. rest easy.
RIP Cookie!
Mental health really matters.
Much love & respect
Nice stuff Cookie Monsta!!!
rip bro..... tragic loss... forever a legend.......
R.i.p Cookie Monsta
Great dude clearly… seeing him unpack my fav tune is special. Rip my guy
Music 2000 was where I first came into contact with music production personally. Used to know a few people that made music in the rave/acid scene during the early nineties but music 2000 was the first time I saw something and was like hey, I can do this too.
It’s tragic that Tony passed away. RIP Tony! You were a legend!
Luv This Artist Interview WickeD!!!!!!!

RIP legend.
Miss you legend!
RIP legend
I really love his music! Awesome
That's a great idea!
It’s 2019 and you still can’t export an MP3 out of reason
RIP real fucking OG
SICK! Never knew he used reason. Awesome.
RIP Cookie Monsta.
I just saw him live in Ohio recently. He killed it. I'm in love with the bloke.
Music 2000 on PC was my first music production tool like over 15yrs ago ;)
This man is a real people person
He may be gone from this earth, he will live on through his legacy, music and creations.
Highly recommend checking out the FuntCase tour with Tony, 15 minutes of pure awesomeness

Classic in my book
Rip Man 🥺🖤👉🏻👈🏻
Amazing
RIP you still are my fav!🙏❤️
Great to see a Dubstep artist, that makes amazing music, uses reason. I was starting to think I can't get the sound I want because I use the wrong software, but it is probably due to a lack of talent :). Inspiring all the same!
I've been an ableton live user ever sense i started started to make dubstep. i use reason a little bit but I've never gotten into that much cuz i didn't really understand it but after watching this i think im gonna try to use it more
Same story bro, started with music2000, I always remember the christmas I got it! later I got Reason and Adam monitors as well, and there's no turning back from this path.
I love u cookie Monsta
Rip cookie 🥺😢
man he's pretty cool love his beats i heard someone say on the circus takeover that he never really knew what he was doing now i see what they meant
still respect.
I just noticed, the pc is showing windows, while the screenrecording software is showing os x :D
Still awesome piece!
Beast! Reason is My Program Been Loyal Since The 1st Version
I'd love to do a video like that. Hey if you've got any recommendations for artists you'd like to see, I'm all ears. :)
Herobust. Herobust. Herobust

I'd really like to know how he makes theese bass sounds
lmao cookie monsta is sick, he's just so awesomee
It's him! O-my-god!
Reason i started making music is this video
Great video! Is there any chance of there being a link or something to see the full interview?
THATS MY DAD I do miss him so much we had such good times we played games with each other all the time we had a French bull dog called bell without my dad so many funny times would’ve never happened we made a song together called poorassic world 😂😂 I’m 12 now
your dad was a legend
3:51 that was not actually boring I thought it was kinda sick !!!!!
Cookie Monsta - Level Up
RIP COOKIE MONSTA.
Nottingham were is that exactly? I love Cookie Monsta's music but i don't know his actual name and all but it sounds German?
props to propellerhead, know them some good artists!
Some of the better composite sit on this video. How long did it take to composite and interview Cookie?
please answer if you can. but if you have a combantor and do what cookie did 5 malstrums will each sound from each malstrum play all together??.
Is there any place i can get that round circus sticker? just in white and black. The sticker he has on his macbook. i would love to have one on my macbook :p
Thats DOPEEEE
RIP man
Cookie Monsta
Nice, should do one with funtcase as well
@PropellerheadSW It would be awesome if you could get an interview with 'Kill The Noise'!
Sweet
can we get a tracklist from this video i like the songs, i know riot and yo momma, but there is one i cant get my thoughts on.
Saw cookie last night with Zomboy at the Royal Oak Theater Michigan, was fuckin awesome, rock on cookie u make some o de best dubstep out there
I'd love to see an interview with The Widdler or Joker
I figured out the tracklist. The first song (The intro) is called Level Up. The second song (at 1:05) is called Yow Mama. (Northern lights remix) The third song (The most obvious one) is called Yow Mama. The next (and last) song is called Riot!
Farewell man....
1:16 - 1:25 was me when I first started making music
Keenan, it's called Reason and you can learn more about it on our website propellerheads.se
Track ID on the last track?
Great interview too :)
is there anyway we can watch the raw footage or a longer edit, been waiting for a cookie monsta masterclass/interview for literally years now, would be amazing to see the rest of the footage!? thanks, @propellerheadSW
@PropellerheadSW Please could you interview GENETIX? I'm a big fan of them!
maybe you should interview Dj Mustard. his style is real simple but he does some mainstream hits and I believe he uses Reason.
