Brazilian Afro House powerhouse Curol has delivered a stunning reinterpretation of Monolink‘s “Beacon,” introducing her signature rhythmic intensity to one of the German artist’s most emotionally resonant tracks. Released today via Berlin’s Embassy One, this remix is part of an ongoing series that reimagines Monolink’s acclaimed 2025 album The Beauty Of It All.
This latest offering adds to Embassy One’s impressive remix collection, following notable reworks from artists like Yamagucci and Maxi Meraki. Each of these artists brings a unique sonic fingerprint to Monolink’s deeply personal compositions, and Curol’s interpretation might be the most transformative yet.
Afro House Meets Melodic Depth
Curol’s approach to “Beacon” is a wonderfully balanced mix of respect and creativity. She expertly preserves the emotional core that makes the original compelling while fundamentally reshaping its foundation through an Afro House lens. It’s akin to discovering a hidden room in a familiar space—all the elements are in place, but the experience remains delightfully fresh.
The Brazilian producer anchors her take with driving percussion and rich low-end movement that immediately immerses listeners in a hypnotic atmosphere. As Curol’s subtle melodic flourishes wend around Monolink’s vocal delivery, a beautiful tension emerges between the track’s introspective nature and its newfound dancefloor urgency.
This balance is what sets this remix apart. Curol doesn’t merely accelerate the BPM; she completely reimagines how the song navigates through soundscapes while maintaining its emotional essence.
Breaking Barriers in Brazilian Electronic Music
For those new to Curol’s work, this remix serves as an ideal introduction to one of Brazil’s most influential electronic music exports. As a driving force in the Brazilian Afro House scene, she stands out not only for her music but as a trailblazer for female representation in electronic music.
Her performance resume reads like a festival bucket list: from Rock in Rio to Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, and Ushuaïa, she has captivated audiences worldwide. Notably, Curol has left her mark at the Amsterdam Dance Event and even dazzled at the Paris Olympics—showcasing her remarkable versatility.
The accolades reflecting her success are numerous—Curol has been featured on 1001Tracklists’ The Future of Dance list for four consecutive years and was notably the first Brazilian woman to release on All Day I Dream. Her tracks frequently top both Beatport and Traxsource charts, illustrating her appeal across underground and mainstream sectors.
