PORTLAND, OR (November 17, 2020) –  PayRange announced it ranked 83 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America now in its 26th year. PayRange grew 1,325% during the previous 3-year period.

PayRange’s Chief Executive Officer, Paresh Patel, credits the revenue growth to its passionate team that develops and markets innovative payment technology to an industry ripe for innovation. He said, “The automated retail industry, characterized by small ticket payments made traditionally with cash and coin, had been largely left behind by incumbent cashless payment providers. Recognizing the opportunity and leveraging our industry experience, we invented mobile payment technology designed specifically for this market that not only brought touchless payments to these machines, but also elevated the overall experience. We’re thankful to our customers for deploying our solution which is at the forefront of transforming an industry that has otherwise seen little payment innovation in over 50 years.”

“For more than 25 years, we’ve been honoring companies that define the cutting edge and this year’s Technology Fast 500 list is proof positive that technology — from software and digital media platforms, to biotech — truly does permeate so many facets of our lives,” said Paul Silverglate, Vice Chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader. “We congratulate this year’s winners, especially during a time when innovation is needed more than ever to address the monumental challenges posed by the pandemic.”

Ramsey Elkholy Leads Monotronic’s Genre-Defying Sound on Emotionally Expansive Single “Sun Song”

Published

3 hours ago

on

April 7, 2026

By

Los Angeles, CA, 7th April 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Ramsey Elkholy, guitarist, producer, songwriter, and founder of the indietronica collective Monotronic, continues to expand his distinctive musical vision with the release of “Sun Song,” a dynamic and emotionally layered track that highlights the project’s genre-blending approach and cinematic sound. Known for merging indie rock, electronic elements, and global influences, Elkholy has developed Monotronic into a collaborative collective that emphasizes cohesion, texture, and shared creative expression.

Founded in 2016 in New York City, Monotronic emerged from a vibrant and diverse music scene, quickly gaining recognition for its unconventional structure and evolving lineup of musicians. Under Ramsey Elkholy’s direction, the project has grown into a platform for collaboration, bringing together artists from varied musical backgrounds to contribute to a unified sonic identity. This “collective-first” philosophy remains central to Elkholy’s creative process, allowing each composition to reflect a balance between individual contributions and a cohesive artistic vision.

“Sun Song” serves as a compelling example of Elkholy’s approach to composition and production. The track opens with a gradual interplay between bass and melodic guitar, establishing a contemplative and atmospheric tone. As the vocals enter, they introduce an emotional depth reminiscent of shoegaze influences, supported by layered instrumentation that builds steadily in both intensity and texture. The early section of the track creates a reflective and immersive listening experience, drawing the audience into a nuanced emotional landscape.

At approximately 56 seconds, “Sun Song” transitions into a more energetic and optimistic phase, introducing brighter tonal elements and a heightened sense of momentum. This shift provides a striking contrast to the introspective opening, demonstrating Elkholy’s ability to manipulate mood and pacing within a single composition. However, the track continues to evolve, pivoting once again around the 1:23 mark into a darker, more introspective section. Driven by bass-forward arrangements and rhythmic complexity, this segment introduces a subtle post-punk influence, adding further depth and contrast to the overall structure of the song.

The interplay between light and dark, tension and release, is a defining characteristic of Ramsey Elkholy’s work with Monotronic. Through “Sun Song,” he constructs a multi-dimensional listening experience that moves fluidly between emotional states while maintaining a strong sense of cohesion. The track’s dynamic progression reflects Elkholy’s broader artistic philosophy, which draws from both his musical background and his global experiences.

In addition to his work as a musician and producer, Elkholy holds a PhD in Anthropology, and his academic background informs his perspective on music as a shared cultural and sensory experience. Having spent years traveling and conducting research across Asia and Southeast Asia, including extended time in India and Indonesia, Ramsey Elkholy incorporates elements of rhythm, environment, and collective expression into his compositions. These influences contribute to Monotronic’s layered sound, which often evokes a sense of place and atmosphere alongside its melodic and harmonic elements.

Now based in Los Angeles, Elkholy continues to write, record, and produce music from his home studio, further developing Monotronic’s evolving catalog. The project has received recognition from a range of media outlets and has built a reputation for visually engaging music videos and genre-spanning releases. “Sun Song” adds to this growing body of work, reinforcing Elkholy’s role as a forward-thinking artist capable of bridging diverse musical styles while maintaining a distinct creative identity.

As Monotronic continues to release new material and expand its audience, Ramsey Elkholy remains at the center of its creative direction, guiding the project with a focus on collaboration, innovation, and emotional resonance. “Sun Song” stands as a strong representation of that vision, offering listeners a richly textured and continually evolving musical journey.
