Kia @ MAKING TIME ♾️ 2024

Neel at Floresta - Waking Life '24

@sunjuhargun is based in Thailand and has been bringing all new energy to the Asian scene for more than 20 years. He has Indian heritage and Japanese roots which inform his mystic sound and the music he releases via the the label he co-founded, Siamese Twins Records. As he proved when he played our festival back in summer, he transcends musical and cultural borders to bring everything from, warm and percussive tribal grooves to more psychedelic sounds, acid textures and mind altering techno.

Sunju explains his approach to this week's mix. "I wanted to capture a special memory using records picked up during my trips between Amsterdam and Japan over the past few years. The result is a selection that blends the past, present, and future. As with every mix, I approach things naturally, with spontaneity. Live recordings have a unique energy that you can only feel in person, but sometimes that feeling can get lost when making a mix at home. This here is 60 mins of a raw, spontaneous reflection of friends in my living room, just hitting record and going for it. No filter, no perfection—just creativity with a limited selection.”

Longtime friend of the label, Amsterdam based Human Space Machine (@humanspacemachine), who has released on the likes of prolific Dutch labels @delichting & @nousklaeraudio, as well as re:st and nowhwere, presents an amazing mix in his signature style of driving, psychedelic techno. 

With both DJ'ing and production output alike, Mike's name has been popping up increasingly everywhere in the last couple of years, and his productions span from 4x4 trippy, groovy techno, to intricate & otherworldly half-speed gems. This mix comes amidst the beginning of his Australia tour :) 

Welcome Mike! and thank you for the mix!

DSS 106 comes form across the Canal.
Softi is quickly becoming one of London's most sought-after DJs. With her dynamic sets, seamlessly drifting across different BPM ranges and without being bound to a genre, she manages to keep a unique and psychedelic sound.
Her vision is further extended through her Cozi label, where she delivers ep's, dj-mixes and a residency at the Brussels based Kiosk Radio.

DSS 106 | Softi

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.

No More Chains

Porcelain EP by @chloebattelle sails between electronica, minimal techno, and breakbeat. The palette is cinematic - deliberate and enticing with carefully textured synths, organic percussion, and drums anchoring each track. Cycling through tumbling breaks, lush pads, and carefully crafted samples that reference the soundscape of 90’s breakbeat and trance, the tracks build subtly, layering rhythm and emotion with intent instead of resolving into anything obvious.

Across the EP, there’s a clear sense of restraint in the production and a willingness to leave space and to let ideas breathe. Chloe plays with dynamics intentionally: low-frequency energy is employed strategically and the stereo field is used as a storytelling tool; widening, folding in, and then expanding again. Hyper vocal snippets, booming kicks, and sparkling perc hits, are largely self-recorded or built from scratch, propelling the emotional weight of ‘Porcelain’.
