The sky clears. The autopsy is complete. reclaims the absolute present.

Monkery Collective proudly presents “Pinball Town”—the 14th and penultimate chapter of Nordi’s sprawling Atlas series, out everywhere today.

Following the stark textures of Here & Now and the acoustic vulnerability of Don't Let it, Gone, “Pinball Town” sees Nordi step entirely out of the dark. Sonically, the track is a kinetic masterclass in atmospheric groove. It trades alien landscapes for a lush, bouncing blend of lo-fi R&B and indie-pop, all anchored by his signature hip-hop cadence.

Lyrically, this is a ruthless, seductive critique of our plastic, manufactured culture. From the mid-century roots of the Barbie ideology to the modern fatigue of curated digital perfection, Nordi offers a sanctuary of raw, unvarnished reality:

“You don’t have to be perfect, no. Be authentic, last time I checked...”

No longer hiding behind ambiguity, the "smooth talker" has arrived. Grounded, honest, and straight to the point.

The countdown to the end of the Atlas series is reaching its zenith. Step into the light with us and don't forget to follow and support by sharing it! ⚡

The Atlas Series continues its descent into the raw truth. 

Monkery Collective is proud to announce the next chapter: “Here & Now” by

Following the survivalist resonance of Tales and the intimate negotiation of Don't Let it, Gone, “Here & Now” arrives as a sonic autopsy of the artist himself. This isn't just a track; it’s a reclamation of a history that spans from the drums in Mafra and Ericeira to the industrial pulse of the UK underground.

In a world obsessed with the "spin" and curated veneers, strips back the layers to ask the ultimate question:

 "Do you even know my history?"

Merging experimental conscious rap with an avant-garde edge, “Here & Now” is the daily medicine for those navigating the friction between their roots and their reality. It’s the sound of the kid caught tagging school walls, now drawing lines along with the bars that define a new sovereignty.

The Armour is Off. 🕊️

Today, the Monkery Collective unveils the 12th chapter of Nordi’s Atlas series: "Don't Let it, Gone."

Moving away from the mechanical punch of alternative hip-hop, this track is a profound exhalation—a stripped-back masterpiece of grand piano, acoustic guitar, and raw, fully sung vulnerability. It is a sonic autopsy of the "autopilot" life, a reflection on independence, and a heartfelt goodbye to the things we let slip away before we were ready.

"I pushed you out of my life... now I do this song."

From the sunlit optimism of Mallorca 2018 to the clear-sighted peace of today, Nordi invites you to embrace the human spark in a curated world.

We live in an era of curated realities, where the pressure to perform is higher than the desire to just be. In psychology, they call it the "False Self" – the mask we wear to survive. This track invites you to drop it. To ascend the "Stairway of progress" by asking the hardest question of all: Who am I?

The artwork for "WHO AM I" is a collage of two photos.
