Jin Synth delivers a live recording of her set from Lacasita at OHM in Berlin from March of this year. The London-based artist provides a perfectly engineered trip demonstrating her ability to lead a dance floor. Words from the artist : "This is the recording from my set for La Casita at OHM on a freezing cold Thursday night in early March. It was a nice evolution of people chatting and hanging out whilst slowly warming up and eventually filling the dancefloor. Across the 2 hour performance, I kept things pretty dark, deep, and atmospheric using 4 decks so that I could play around with a lot of ambient and experimental layers on top of the tracks to give them more texture. Hope you enjoy it!

Wu Zhuoling (吴卓玲) https://soundcloud.com/zhuoling_wu Music Producer | Live Electronic Artist | DJ | Co-founder of Small Projects Records A chameleonic pioneer at the forefront of China's live electronic counterculture, Wu Zhuoling has built a reputation for deeply immersive performances and genre-defying sound. Performing exclusively with hardware, she creates live sets that guide audiences through a fluid sonic journey - from soothing ambient and experimental downtempo to soulful electronica, progressive IDM, and driving leftfield techno. Her music reflects a distinct artistic identity shaped by her cultural roots and over twenty years of production experience. Before turning to electronic music, Zhuoling was a folk singer and fronted a trip-hop band in the 2000s, an influence still felt in her melodic sensibility and lyrical story-telling. In her current electronic work, she weaves intricate sound design and rhythmic precision with organic warmth, crafting sonic landscapes that feel both progressive and deeply human. Zhuoling has performed extensively across China's major clubs, live houses and festivals, as well as at art exhibitions, fashion shows, audiovisual showcases, and open-air venues set against natural landscapes. Her international footprint continues to expand, with tours in New Zealand (2024) and the United States (2025), alongside performances in the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan. Her standing in the Chinese electronic scene is reflected by being invited as support act for the China tours of several renowned international artists such as Max Cooper (2024), Rival Consoles (2026) and Bonobo (2026). Her acclaimed releases - Another Shore (2022, LP), Uncharted (2023, EP), Reverie (2024, LP) and Uncharted II (2026, EP) - mark her evolution as one of China's most distinctive voices in live electronic music.

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/ahil.arthur/

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.

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 culture is still so present. That region has a deep connection to psychedelics and ancient rituals, which influenced my more recent dive into the trippy and trancey style of certain tracks I select. This mix is a reflection of that journey and the sounds that move me.'

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, always aiming to keep the energy rolling and alive. Looking back, this night definitely stands out as a personal highlight. Seeing Fragments grow into something that resonates, offering people a space to reflect and feel free, made it especially meaningful." Follow : https://soundcloud.com/aydinho767 Tracklist : 1.

“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.

“You never know what the other is going to play and that adds a lot of adrenaline. Then you can create something unique, a live patchwork, an improvised mosaic. Doubling the incertitude and the variables, you can definitely have more fun during the performance.” This mix, recorded live at Seed Stage at Mo:Dem Festival captures that exact friction, the moment where two distinct musical minds collide to form something entirely new. Across the three hours, the story unfolds with unconventional rhythms, experimental grooves and deep cerebral soundscapes that defy easy categorization. Spontaneous intuition evolves into a singular flow, where Spekki Webu's futuristic electronics meets the detailed, shifting layers of Mental.

We are thrilled to share Mary Yuzovskaya's set recorded live from Monument Festival 2025 as part of our MNMT 500 celebrations. Mary Yuzovskaya runs her set like an old but reliable steam engine locomotive. Except this train is going to Hogwarts. Mary is a responsible conductor, making sure everyone is on board, getting their bodies going at a steady pace, warming up the system for what's to come. Later. Her sound lives in a hypnotic but assertive space. The hypnotic part comes from steady patterns that loop and settle into the body. Rhythms that repeat long enough to quiet the thinking mind. You are not distracted by constant changes. The groove stays in place and draws you in through consistency. The whole Monument family is dancing in sync. Looking as good as ever. High in energy and anticipation. And then. The sky opens. But, we have our best lasers ON, saved for this occasion, saturday night, they weren't used on friday at all, and when the pouring rain hits the upgraded lasers, we have a million diamonds falling towards us. The crowd roars. Celebrates what nature throws at us. Surrenders to its will. No one left the dancefloor to seek refuge in their tents. No one. Mary Yuzovskaya responds... If you were there, you know that this was the start to what can only be described as the Champions League of festival night shifts. With Yuzovskaya, Pacho and Doltz seemingly playing one after another. Mary's job was to get the crowd going, but at the same time leave room for more. She delivered.

Steve Bicknell enters the main room at The Villa, Oslo. With decades of experience, Bicknell plays with patience and intent. He does not rush the room. It takes about 25 minutes before he even remotely steps on gaspedal. His sound is rooted in deep and stripped back techno. Often influenced by dub, early UK and Detroit traditions. The set starts in the shadows, with sparse rhythms, low pressure. Early on, there is space. Space to arrive. Space to breathe. As the set continues, he builds through repetition. A new percussion line slips in almost unnoticed. A bassline tightens. The groove becomes firmer without becoming aggressive. Tracks are chosen for their texture and weight, with smooth transitions. The focus is on flow, and the dance floor is slowly pulled together. Later in the set, the pressure increases and the rhythm becomes more insistent. The bass becomes more physical. By this point, the room is locked into the hypnosis. Thank you Steve. And thank you to everyone who came to share this night with us Follow : https://soundcloud.com/steve-bicknell https://www.instagram.com/steve_bicknell/

Raär is a producer, live act, DJ and studio mastering engineer from Belgium. A true artist, who is not pinned down on one particular style or emotion: from soothing ambient to heavy and dark percussion based techno workouts to IDM-inspired takes on everything in-between. This live set was captured at the Stagno Records and Omen Wapta night in Milan last year and is one of his first longform live appearances. This set distills fragility and force into a compact, tactile listening experience. A rare snapshot of process in evolution: Raär's performance moves with restraint, built around unreleased material, early sketches from his Incentive LP (released on Omen Wapta earlier this year) and glimpses of what's to come in his collaboration with Stagno.

Hailing from Yerevan, Armenia, Innersha is a producer and live artist who has created a fresh and sophisticated perspective on contemporary live techno. Her sound is a dense constellation of IDM intricacies, celestial textures, and deep techno grooves that drift effortlessly into the depths of mind-altering psychedelia. This unique sonic signature has already led to visionary live sets at revered institutions including Bassiani, Berghain's Säule, and Pe:rsona, alongside multiple performances at this year's Mo:Dem Festival. For this recording, Innersha moves between the physical and the ethereal, constructing a narrative that perfectly balances the tactile weight of rhythm with the weightlessness of space. It is a trip that feels both intimate and expansive, navigating through cycles of sonic construction and deconstruction. A deep cerebral excursion witnessing the formation of entirely new sonic dimensions. Reflecting on the process that shaped this session, Innersha shares: "The recording is an exploration of materials and impressions gathered throughout 2025. Across the year, I found myself working with percussive instruments, exploring the pulse and the subtle variations of repetition that come from real movement. Another part of this process was diving into ambient abstraction, constantly shifting atmospheres that reshape the context. In the dialogue between these two elements, a story began to form about collapse, rebirth, and the formation of new universes. The set was recorded in my studio in Yerevan, where most of the days drift into exploring sound." Turn the volume high and lose yourself in a new realm of sound.

MNMT Recordings : Hewan Aman — Kune Festival 2025 “KUNE was one of my favorite festival experiences this summer. It was an absolute honor to be invited, especially for a set surrounded by fellow story tellers and music selectors I deeply admire. Wild and generous location, giving so much space to move at your own rhythm. I felt connected to the beautiful community that gathers there and held by the presence of the sea, which was like a constant anchor. The curation stood out. Long sets, excellent sound, beautifully designed stages, and this subtle intensity I keep finding in Denmark. I learned about Yndelov ~ a kind of quiet code that encourages not thinking you're better than anyone, even when doing something exceptional. I found that spirit present in the way the festival was curated and lived ~ generous, grounded, and without ego. My set took place between 3 and 6am, in the belly of the Vessel stage, a concrete bunker. The sun rose halfway through ~ I didn't see it directly, but witnessing it light up people's faces as they danced was equally moving. Squeezed in between Peachlyfe's dreamy vibe, and Lund & Ronde goblin psy ride I really couldn't be happier. Big love and thanks to the KUNE family. Really happy to be sharing the recording.” Hewan Aman is a DJ, sound explorer and artist whose sets move between deep bass, atmospheric layers and emotionally-charged rhythms. Drawing from dub, trance, breaks and experimental club music, she plays with contrasts ~ shadow and light, softness and impact ~ creating space for both introspection and collective release. Captured live from the concrete belly of the Vessel stage, this set chronicles Hewan Aman's masterful three-hour navigation from the depths of night into the first light of dawn at Kune Festival. The journey begins in shadow, moving through darker, psychedelic territories, with the mix evolving as the sun begins to rise, skillfully evolving and giving way to an ascendant wave of deeper, euphoric, trancey luminosity.
