Transmissions 550 with Boris

Back in 2023 we were lucky enough to release an exceptional podcast from Timnah - our ears were hooked! We immediately felt the potential and knew that she would be the DJ to provide the perfect festival afternoon soundtrack to our beloved forest.

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon at Monument Festival 2024, and Timnah’s set completely surpassed our already high expectations. From the moment she started, it was clear this was going to be something special.

Starting slow and deep, setting the stage like the opening of an epic tale, Timnah’s set unfolded layer by layer, note by note like a cinematic sonic story told deep in the forest by a master storyteller, one that could have only been by Timnah herself.

Available now on our SoundCloud and YouTube channels or wherever you get your podcasts.

If you were lucky enough to be there, DJ Maria's deep, transcendent trip likely remains etched firmly into your memories. Her legendary Saturday evening set has rightfully earned its place as a celebrated piece of Monument Festival’s history. Reflecting on her experience, she shared:

“..One of those unforgettable memories is Monument Festival. It was one of the best festivals of my life, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to perform in such a dream-like setting..”

Dream-like is the perfect way to describe her sound. Her set was a seamless blend of techno, trance, and acid—timeless and yet completely attuned to the moment. If you weren’t there, well..today’s your lucky day. 

Take a trip back to the forest and relive the dream today.

Monument Festival 2024: DJ MARIA.

There’s a rhythm to how the festival unfolds. Thursday opens slowly, almost like a breath in. By Friday night, the pulse is stronger, but not too heavy. Monument festival had settled into its rhythm, and Kia and Polygonia stepped into the wooden dj-booth together.

The forest floor was vibrating, the crowd fully present. Their set matched the moment—playful, warm, and alive. It felt like Friday was always meant to sound like this. Varden became their playground.

This was more than a strong back-to-back. Two years earlier, they met here, both playing solo, both part of the Monument line-up for the first time. This night marked an anniversary of their friendship. From solo artists to close friends, now creating something special together.

Andu Simion is no newcomer to the minimal scene. Primarily known for his work across various projects, he has contributed singles to numerous esteemed minimal labels and developed several collaborative ventures. A founding member of Lisière Collectif, he learned early on how to guide a dancefloor on a hypnotic, grooving journey, consistently surprising with a playful selection of tracks designed to mimic a trip through the night, body, space, and time.

Hailing from the outskirts of Ploiești, Romania, the city's industrial character is audible in his deep, subtly acid-infused sound. This distinct style has led to vinyl releases on Priku's labels Atipic and Atipic Lab, as well as on the prestigious Detroit imprint Moods & Grooves. He is also one half of projects like A Dublu and Anduli, and as a well-established member of the Romanian underground, boasts numerous releases on respected labels such as Howl Records, Polen, Particular, and Diffuse Reality.

Cadenza Radio 004 - Andu Simion

It’s peak Saturday night. Lasers, smoke, hazy dreams and perfectly tuned F1’s, even the trees are buzzing. The forest knows. Knows that a Japanese techno sensei is secretly entering Varden at 02:30 in the cover of darkness.

DOLTZ is a surprise, and not listed in the program. He comes in with an ambient, almost psychedelic sound. Then slowly layering of all the little sounds that circle around the main beat, letting tension build, balancing experimental and driving techno. There are no sudden drops, but periods of pulling back before reintroducing energy to the dance floor.

DOLTZ took us with him into what felt like a wormhole. The beat held us steady, but everything around it was spinning, stretching, and folding in on itself. The reactions from the Monument family were as different as they were similar. Some were jumping, some were shaking, others were dancing pirouettes, moving slowly, or standing still. At times, it was like being inside a centrifuge or a washing machine. Not dizzy, but surrounded, as if the sound pressed against the body. His set was a physical experience: immersive, disorienting, yet weirdly grounding at the same time. 

Friends, step into the rocketship and journey through the wormhole once again. Return to Doltz at Varden. The techno gods were smiling from ear to ear that night.

Monument Festival 2025 : DOLTZ (live)

When OK EG enters Varden it’s 8:30PM on Sunday. It’s been a slow and steady build during the day, much slower than the day before, people have been given time to rest properly from a late night on Saturday. This is the journey. The ebb and flow of the forest. It’s their job to get the crowd going for the last couple of interval sprints. They are well rested and ready.

OK EG’s expansive sound is deep and diverse. Their compositions display a range that shifts between delicate, textural soundscapes, and spiralling, mesmerizing, mind-trip techno.

They first went to Monument festival in 2024, taking a break from a residency at EMS in Stockholm to spend a weekend in the forest. They brought a field recorder with them and spent time on the riverbank recording the sound of stones and water.

And listen to this level of dedication; while preparing for their live set in 2025, they used those recordings to write a closing track called Monument Stone. This is what they said about it. ”In the moment of performing it at the festival, we felt that everything came together. The crowd, the music and the site connected and it happened just as we’d imagined it.”

During their set day turns to dusk. We transition together, ready for the night - the sound, nature, forest and lights. Hand in hand.
