Based in the heart of Railtown, Monstercat is known for being one of the most influential record labels in the electronic music industry. Founded in 2011 by Mike Darlington and Ari Paunoen, Monstercat has built a remarkable roster of world-renowned talent across multiple channels, including YouTube and Spotify. For the fourth year, after a one-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Monstercat produced a free outdoor block party featuring live performances from electronic artists on two stages along with art, video games, music education, merchandise, food and drinks and a premium lounge for VIP guests. The event took place on September 18, with thousands of music fans, music enthusiasts, culture aficionados, and locals in attendance.
