Monument Techno Podcast

Bambi https://soundcloud.com/bambi-dj and Beatrice M. https://soundcloud.com/beatricemasters met on Sunday afternoon at Monument Festival 2025, two artists connected through a shared affinity for bass driven, dubwise club music, and a natural understanding of how to shape space together. Their b2b felt loose and alive from the start. Wobbly low end, groovy, full of movement, with those bombastic, serotonin charged moments landing at just the right time. There was weight in the bass, but it never dragged. everything stayed in motion, fluid, breathing. The crowd followed. Tension building and dissolving in cycles, smiles turning into screams, small peaks opening into bigger ones. it felt lighthearted, almost effortless, but never lacking precision. What made it work was that balance. Playful but controlled, energetic but still elegant. A set that didn’t try too hard, yet delivered fully, keeping the floor locked in and open until the very end.

AHIL joins the Monument Podcast from Rotterdam with a rich and immersive addition to the series. Episode 511 unfolds as an ever-evolving journey, blending depth, energy, and seamless progression throughout. Some words from the artist - “Having the opportunity to create a mix for Monument, a platform and festival that has shaped my sound over the past six years, feels truly special. I approached this mix the same way I would approach a festival set, I want this to feel as a journey shared between artist and dancer. It begins with space to arrive, to settle into the moment, and to prepare for the adventure ahead. Slowly, percussive and deep hypnotic elements emerge, inviting the body to move almost unconsciously. As the story unfolds, rhythms intensify and tension gradually builds, guiding the listener deeper into the experience. What starts as a subtle pulse evolves into a more intense flow of energy, leading towards a final moment of release” Follow : https://soundcloud.com/a_hil https://www.instagram.com

The set unfolds with patience and intent — a carefully shaped journey through shadowy textures and driving rhythms. A snapshot in time from the floor of one of London’s most revered spaces. Some words from the artist - “MNMT has been my key source of inspiration for some time now, so it feels very surreal for my Unfold Opening set to be featured as a MNMT Recording… I came to Monument as a volunteer on the bar last year… After leaving Veggli, having experienced the music I love in the most idyllic setting on earth, dancing in the mud with no shoes, watching the rain fall through the smoke and being able to look at stranger as if they were my lifelong friend, I knew now more than ever that this was the sound I wanted to strive towards in both my DJing and productions.” Follow : https://soundcloud.com/horston https://www.instagram.com/horston.music/

Pianeti Sintetici, the alias of Italian producer Davide Perrone (also known as one half of the duo Primal Code), kicks off his set whisper-quiet and spacey, like echoes in the mountains far away. The soundscape is vast, and he slowly introduces curious, organic whooshes and creature-like noises, melodies that feel like they could be from another planet. It’s all done live, spontaneous and reactive to the crowd’s energy. The skilled artist creates a journey into a sci-fi dreamworld, an emotional sound bath that makes us forget time. Which is perfect. Pianeti Sintetici enters Varden at 1PM on Sunday, on the fourth and final day of the festival. The weather is cloudy but still warm, a nice Norwegian summer day. At this point we want to lift people, gently, and give everyone time to find their mind, body and feet. And get moving again. When he has everyone's attention, the Italian introduces a little more color with multiple drum patterns, creating a comforting and uplifting danceable energy. Follow : @p

Síoda Rua is a Berlin-based DJ originally from Ireland. She has enjoyed a lifelong connection to music, rooted in years of playing classical and Irish traditional instruments, which eventually led her into the electronic scene. Prior to settling in Berlin, she spent nearly a decade immersed in the Parisian scene, followed by a year touring across Mexico — chapters that helped refine her sound and broaden her artistic perspective. Regarding the mix Síoda offered some thoughts : ' This two hour vinyl mix is a showcase of the sound I feel most connected to right now. I wanted to build a journey into those hypnotic spaces, the kind of music that feels like being lost in a mystical forest. It is a place where I feel a real sense of freedom, allowing me to let go and lose myself in the music. Deep hypnotic techno has always been what I have been drawn to, but I’ve also developed a love for the tribal aspects of the music I play. It reminds me of my time living in Chiapas, a part of Mexico where the Mayan cultur

Aydin Imani joins us with a live recording of his session from the Fragments event series in the heart of Oslo, Norway. Some words from Aydin on the event - "This recording comes from our final @frgmnts gathering of the year in Oslo. It was a night shaped by reflection, curiosity, and the quiet satisfaction of having shared many meaningful moments over the past months. We wanted to end the year in a way that felt honest and fitting for where we were at the time. It was our first all-nighter of this kind, held in a new space, with a sense of curiosity and anticipation in the room. As the opening set, my idea was to mark a transition from the warmth of summer into a more introspective period, moving toward darker tones and colder days ahead in Norway (especially) . The dance floor felt warm, intense, and foggy. Smiles came easily, and that feeling stayed with us throughout the night. The set moves through different emotional shades, balancing playfulness and drive with moments of weight and inner tension,

“It was a last moment thing that we decided to change some parts of our live and just see where it would take us. I think when you find yourself at Mo:Dem, you always get a different vibe from what you’ve imagined, and this year we wanted to bring something more stripped down compared to the last one. I think this was our most fun and best one we played for Mo:Dem so far.” Recorded live at Mo:Dem Festival, this fusion of Spekki Webu and Feral is a powerful sonic catalyst, where the merging of two psychedelic techno maestros creates the ultimate techno Voltron. What emerges is a deep trip into sonic telepathy and high-fidelity minimalism, driven by high-octane rhythms and ominous sci-fi sounds that channel a raw, futuristic shamanic energy.
