Rocking house parties is how Monaco spent most weekends in his not so distant adolescence. It was those renegade house parties where he really learned to rock a crowd. The desire to make people dance trumped his desire to awe them with technical scratches. That spark, coupled with his location guided his production style.
Nick Monaco hails from northern California’s Bay Area, the cradle of hella, hyphy, and 808-heavy house. Monaco quickly discovered San Francisco’s dirtybird records who managed to seamlessly weave all three into what he refers to as “hella hyphy house.”
In 2010, Dirtybird resident Worthy found Nick Monaco (who barely broke twenty years old) and eagerly released his first EP ‘Sideshow Tango’ on the highly regarded label, Anabatic Records. The EP is an homage to the local hyphy and house cultures-- featuring the East Bay anthem that originally caught Worthy’s attention, ‘That’s Oakland Baby’ and ‘Amame’ (not to mention the popular Worthy remix).
This decade has a lot in store for Monaco, who is ever productive with original releases, remixes, and collaborations. He is finishing up a smashing EP with another baylien, Mr. Spock himself—Ardalan. Together, they are the freshmen of San Francisco’s new house sound.
Monaco’s sound is very friendly to booty’s, hips, and everything in between. His name should make it somewhere into your vocabulary in the near future.

I dance with my baby all night long
I dance with my baby all night long
I dance with my baby all night long
Take my hand, my love
We move open to the sun
When i see you i can child
The first verse of Nick Monaco's song "Drama" conveys a sense of joy and contentment. The persona of the song is dancing with their baby all night long, which symbolizes a carefree and liberating feeling for the persona. Dancing with their partner is the ultimate expression of love, passion, and freedom. The repetition of the line “I dance with my baby all night long” serves as a reminder that the persona is immersed in the moment and nothing else seems to matter.
The chorus of the song encourages the listener to take the hand of their beloved and embrace the feeling of attraction and love. "We move open to the sun" could be interpreted as the persona breaking free from their inhibitions, and allowing themselves to be vulnerable and exposed to others. The line "When I see you, I can child" is a playful metaphor for feeling young and free when the persona is with their lover. It represents the butterflies in their stomach that they feel when they are around their lover.
Overall, "Drama" by Nick Monaco is a joyful and light-hearted song about loving someone and being free to express it. It encourages us to embrace our passions and enjoy the little moments of happiness with our lovers.
