The Psychedelic Muse – 18 years of Unfinished Monkey Records, mixed by Hentopan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDHMFikU-mo&t=2149s
UMR was founded in 2007 to promote creative new electronic music from Belgium, the Netherlands, Europe and the world. Besides frequently released digital EP's and albums of upcoming talent, they compile VA compilations presenting exclusive tracks selected by Hentopan.
The idea of 'Unfinished Monkeys' is based on a scientific theory that man has not evolved from primates but is an embryonic mutation, hence 'unfinished' in its instinct, creating culture, expression and also music as a way to compensate a lack of instinct.
The vision of UMR was to be a collaborative platform for artists exchanging skills and ideas, and a stepping stone for new artists and upcoming talent. It has always kept a non-profit vision and aim at helping artists. As independent releases are hard to draw energy towards, collaboration would make it so there's more continuity resulting in an increase of online traffic to the releases and also have less censorship or 'single direction' as there would be in 'major labels'.
UMR has always pushed the envelope by looking for unique sounds and creative crossovers. Artists that don't fit a mold were embraced and a sense of renewal and re-invention was always at the core of the selections.
Now 18 years in, it's clear when checking out older releases that they were indeed somehow ahead of their time and precursors to many interesting evolutions in psychedelic and unconventional downtempo and dance music.

Hentopan is the newest alter ego of Christoffel Hendrickx: neurodiverse cultural entrepreneur, musician, DJ and visionary artist of the conscious underground.
In the earliest days of Unfinished Monkey Records he was known as dustrickx and DJ'ing at raves and events all over Europe.
After journeys and international retreats – avoiding the grim consequences of drug abuse and sleep deprivation – he returned to Belgium with new inspirations and started DJ'ing for Ecstatic Dance as Atmapriya and producing psychedelic downtempo music, dub and Tribal Bass as 'Hentopan', Ancient Greek for 'all is one'.
At the core of the music selection and his productions is always the striving for a hypnotic and meditative experience, balanced with passionate and intense emotional rushes, danceable rhythms and a strong sentiment for experimentation, creativity and the subversive.
