Montell2099 Returns to the Scene with His Debut Album in Tow

Montell2099 showcases his innovative approach to electronic music with the release of his 11-track debut album, DUALITY.


The journey Montell2099 has taken in the scene is truly unique. Originally from rural New Zealand, this artist found a passion for electronic music and began his ascent to international acclaim soon after. Since then, he’s gained nods from other significant names in the scene like RL Grime, Netsky, Alison Wonderland, and more, while continuing to put his creativity on display with each passing release.

While this year had been devoid of fresh music from Montell2099, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t dreaming bigger than ever. He took time to step back and reset creatively, allowing time for him to recalibrate his sound and reconnect with his roots. The result has now arrived just as 2025 comes to a close with the release of his ever-dynamic debut album DUALITY.

DUALITY boasts 11 tracks, yet true to its name, it also doubles as a deeply personal project for Montell2099. Found inside are boundary-pushing soundscapes that explore various electronic realms, each oozing with his top-tier production and reflective moments tied to his upbringing, those who shaped his early years, and the momentum he achieved globally.

“2099_RADIO” acts as a teaser of what’s to come, as Montell2099 flips through DUALITY‘s tracks with dial turns. Then, the ride truly begins with “I MIGHT,” a trap-fueled banger that’s fit for a festival mainstage. Those who want some doses of dubstep can jump around to tracks like “ENDLESSLY” and “LUV TONIGHT” to get their fix, while anyone yearning for some drum and bass can press play on “ENERGY!!” to spark their night.

Bass isn’t all that Montell2099 touches, though, as tracks like “SOMETHING 2 SAY” offer a flourish of the maximalist energy that’s dominated much of the scene in recent years. “PEACE OF MIND” is pure hyperpop bliss that delivers bouncy energy to brighten your life, and the album’s closing track, “HAIL,” sees him dive into the tech house realm for a more chilled-out ride perfect for your night’s comedown.

Give DUALITY a spin on Spotify or your preferred platform, and follow Montell2099’s social media channels to stay in the know on his upcoming shows and more.
