The closing set at the Varden stage is always a special time; Filled with excitement, tears, hugs, and exhaustion, it marks the end of four incredible days at Monument Festival.

This year Japanese maestro Wata Igarashi stepped up and delivered a legendary closing set. A psychedelic vortex of sound thundered across the forest as the dance floor was illuminated in radiant colors and fog, with smiling faces and dancing bodies all around. 

So find your best headphones or sit down in front of your speakers, turn it up, and time travel back to the Forgotten Valley. Guided by our friend, Wata Igarashi. Enjoy.

Monument Festival 2024 : Wata Igarashi

Very excited to share this set, recorded live at the Colorfloor of Lofi during Coda on the final day of ADE 2024. The warm and smokey colorfloor set the tone. A mysterious and intimate atmosphere that I wanted to translate into this 3-hour journey.

I began with lighter, fast-paced rhythms, gradually adding layers of darker soundscapes and heavier kicks. As the set progressed, I switched to a more entrancing energy, building up to an atmosphere that felt both groovy and hypnotic. An ideal handover to Kia and Reptant, who followed after me.

Thank you @ratherlost  & @paxromana_xxi for the invite. Really loved playing here.
Special shoutout to the cute and sexy dancers in the front sharing this moment with me! <3

A true legend and pioneering figure of techno, US sound architect and Geophone label owner Mike Parker breaks in on the RYC waves with a very special set full with his idiosyncratically dark, obsessive, inch-perfectly chiselled 4x4 wares. Before Boiler Room and co. were even a thing, a pioneering platform going by the name of Studio R° used to broadcast techno sets by prominent artists from a secret location in Berlin. This iconic, vinyl-only mix is Parker’s Studio R° set from 2013, now fully remastered for your listening pleasure. Building atmospheres unlike any other, brooding and transcending in equal measure, Parker has laid the foundation to an exceptionally rich body of work. Master of the industrial vocab, peeping towards Detroit but with his defining spin on the early days genre, Parker entices us down the path of steely monumentality and laser-precise mind control. Just as typically mazy, his present mix conjures up all traits of quality Parker material: 909-powered propulsion, enslaving acid whorls, Escher-like fractals. Wild, wild ride ahead.

A recent sonic memoir from a beautiful evening, playing a vinyl only (almost) set. Recorded under a snowy winter morning somewhere in the outskirts of Stockholm in December 2024.

This was by far one of the best Stockholm underground events that's happened the past 10 years. Massive props to the Stilio crew for their excellent effort.

SMØR&BRØD – Ørigins
Release number 14 is a double premiere: it is the ﬁrst Waswotsch release to appear on vinyl,
and the ﬁrst release by SMØR&BRØD ever.
The talented Geneva-based sound acKvist, co-founder of the BASSMENT! sound system and
member of the ADSR collecKve, takes us on a hypnoKc journey into the faster realms of
techno. The raw, energeKc tracks he coaxes out of his drum machines and synths have a
unique, fresh and posiKve drive.
You can clearly hear that there is a live act at work here, who has his roots in the sound
system culture. The 4 tracks are the result of studio jams and mixed in the Jamaican dub
tradiKon. SMØR&BRØD's love of machines and eﬀects, playing with the unpredictable and
happy coincidences has ﬁnally led to this extraordinarily lively and surprising EP
The opener ‘Portacabin’ on the A-side is a playful sawtooth ﬁlter elegy with delicately woven
metallic percussion elements that open up a slightly melancholic space.
A2 ‘Parallel Ballad’ is a hypnoKc, lively, cheeky canon that shakes you awake with syncopated
beats.
On the ﬂipside, ‘Urban Drive’ comes with exuberant energy, creaky acid basslines and 80s-
inspired, discoid synth waves.
The EP closes with the nasty ‘First Place’, which will Ke your head and legs in a knot if you're
not careful…
We're delighted!

CHAPTER 2 — THE SPORE-STORM EXPANSE
The river deposited Eloen onto a plain of cobalt grass swaying beneath an amethyst sky. A gentle snow of spores drifted down, each mote popping into kaleidoscopic shapes when it touched the ground.

Ahead sprawled the Spore-Storm Expanse—a biome where thoughts erupt into living hallucinations. Eloen’s first exhale birthed a miniature sun that bobbed around her head like a curious sparrow. Her second formed a violin-tailed comet that circled her ankles, singing in frequencies she felt more than heard.

A towering figure emerged from the spore haze—part stag, part mycelium, crowned with antlers that branched into nebulae. Its eyes reflected every possible version of Eloen, from triumphant to terrified.

Stag-Shaman: You chase what cannot be caged. The Supernova’s eyes are windows and mirrors; they grant revelation at a cost. What do you offer in return?
Eloen: I offer the only thing I possess—my uncharted curiosity.

The Stag-Shaman bent its head, touching its nebular antlers to her prism shard. Reality rippled. A new route—carved in threads of luminous mycelium—spiraled toward the horizon. Then walk the spire of questions, the shaman intoned, and keep no answer for yourself.

With that, the hallucinations dispersed, and Eloen marched on, trailed by a constellation of living questions that fluttered like paper cranes in her wake.

CHAPTER 3 — THE HOLLOW ECLIPSE
The grassland ended at a vertical cliff that sliced the world clean in half. Above loomed a Hollow Eclipse—a black coin eating the sun from within. Its corona radiated oscillating mandala patterns that drummed against her skull. Gravity tilted, hurling her sideways onto an invisible staircase that circled the eclipse’s rim.

Each step plunged Eloen into a memory not her own: civilizations that built cities of laughter, oceans woven from silk, wars fought with symphonies instead of steel. She climbed through lifetimes in minutes, shedding old fears like molting skin.

Halfway up, she encountered a mirrored corridor containing a multitude of possible Elos. One was ancient and weary; another sparkled with childlike mischief; a third bore haunted eyes and battle scars. They spoke in unison: Choose who walks onward.

Eloen closed her eyes and realized the trick—all of them were true, but none complete. She stepped forward without choosing, absorbing them like colored threads into her own tapestry. The corridor shattered into prismatic dust, and the staircase delivered her to a plateau of black glass.

There, suspended in the void, glowed the Thousand-Eye Supernova—now immense and breathtaking. Its surface shimmered with a million iridescent pupils, each cycling through impossible spectra.

The cohesive array of depth charged devices that Anthony Linell has produced is formidable. From his opening statements as Abdulla Rashim on his early label of the same name, right through to his recent work that puts his aliases aside, there is a robust and rigorous intent that compounds the elemental strategies of techno's models to apprehend his singular vision.

Presiding over Stockholm's Northern Electronics label with Varg (Jonas Rönnberg), Linell dispenses with mechanisms of attention on all fronts. Marked by an indefatigable self-reliance, the label presents exactly what it means to display, and no more. Carving an idiosyncratic platform for his music is as great of a warning as there could be that Linell's leveraging little toward the benefit of the audience. By his measure, the familiarity and comfort of contemporary techno is stripped back to its rushing heart, the senses left tailgating the strobe in a fit of intuition over decision. The greater this is exposed the colder it gets, and its in these extremes that Linell's caustic rhythmic precision hits. Live, it comes off as a galvanizing strike from the outside; analysing the room as a DJ, it's a case of being pursued through the dark.

Just as the brevity of Linell's output in the eyes of techno is exalted as it is brought into focus, the background to this blurs as you start to decipher his other projects. Lundin Oil skirts the fringes of noise and experimental music, and in collaboration with Varg as Ulwhednar, this is perhaps even more pronounced.

Purposively ricocheting between the techno world and experimental electronic music, Linell forges a distinct passage that gathers the aesthetically uncompromising motifs and missions from across this spectrum. It's this combination and resolve that's brought Linell to the world's attention, however little that attention has been solicited.
