I Monster are a British electronic music group comprising of Sheffield-based producers Dean Honer and Jarrod Gosling. They formed in 1997, and released their debut album These Are Our Children.

However, due to Honer being involved with hitmakers All Seeing I, it wasn't until 2001 that they released their first single, "Daydream In Blue", a song built around a sample from the The Gunter Kallmann Choir (the same sample, co-incidentally, also used on a song by the Beta Band). The song was originally released on 7" on Honer's own label Cercle Records, which he founded with Add N To X's Barry Seven. It was later rereleased with a new mix on Instant Karma (record label) (in association with their own label Twins of Evil (which has also released material from Kings Have Long Arms and Mu Chan Clan.

They released their acclaimed debut album Neveroddoreven in 2003, which was re-released with a new sleeve in 2004. The band are regular guest DJs across the country, and have played live shows in London at various European festivals. Part of their live band is Fred and Marion from The Lovers (band), on guitar and vocals respectively.

I Monster have done remixes for bands including Ladytron, Pulp, Fat Truckers and Fad Gadget.

I Monster and their label, Twins of Evil, are both named after Hammer Horror films.

Their song The Blue Wrath was used as the theme song for the film Shaun of the Dead.

Their song Daydream In Blue was used in the film Riders (Steal).

They are currently producing the follow up to 'Neveroddoreven'.
