  • 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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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 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!

    maybe you should interview Dj Mustard. his style is real simple but he does some mainstream hits and I believe he uses Reason.
