In this episode of Awake All Hours, we present the first of our summer festival previews, starting with the Barcelona giant, Primavera Sound! We breakdown the entire week-and-a-half long programme (4:00), highlighting significant electronic artists and sharing recommendations for those interested or attending either weekend of the festival, eventually concluding that they have booked all of music.

We then dive into album reviews, catching up on a couple of mega releases from two heavyweights of the scene - Kelly Lee Owens (37:27) and Batu (54:03). At this point, attempting to wade through he endless torrent of electronic music finally proves too much, so we have to roll over a bunch of other essential albums to next episode and instead simply finish with our favourite section - What’s In My Bandcamp Basket, rounding up our favourite recent DJ weapons and club-adjacent oddities!

Artist: Umwelt  / Title: Collapsar
Format: EP, 12” vinyl & digital
Label: Shipwrec / Release date vinyl: 22nd of May 2023 
Release date digital: 12th of June 2023

Umwelt knows his craft. From his no-nonsense acid-drenched electro assaults to his more thought-provoking works, the Frenchman can shred speakers as well as soothe souls. These two sides of the New Flesh boss’ sound combine as he returns to Shipwrec with the ﬁve tracks of "Collapsar". Worlds collide in the epic “Galactic Empire.” Beats are lashed with punishing acid rinses as a bold cinematic backdrop takes form. “Collapsar” maintains the grandeur, broad expansive chords stretching above a plain of tight percussion. A frigid stuttering synthline introduces “Reﬂectivity”, a line that breaks into a horizon searching melody punctuated by crisp rhythms and arcing keys. The breadth and depth achieved across the EP is staggering, Umwelt balancing danceﬂoor electro with introspection. This immersive quality comes to the fore in the sweeping soundtrack of “Redemption Ark.” That calm is cracked wide open with the frenetic ﬁnale. “Day Zero” incises from the outset, drums cutting into bulwark of bass before a barrage of keys attack. Exemplary from a master.

Ahead of Transmissions from Hackney, taking place across ten venues in Hackney Wick on October 7, we headed down to the Netil studio for a day celebrating the sounds of this year's event.

With mixes from Adam Pits, DJ Teeth, DJ Wiggles, Faery, In2Stellar, Inner Zone, Jin Synth, Kit Seymour, Miro SundayMusiq, and Remove Me, the sets travelled from textural, ambient soundscapes, through to high energy trance and techno - a taste of what's to come at next month's festival.

Feral & Spekki Webu : Convergence of Ethereal Realms

Emerging from the magnetic allure of Mo:Dem Festival's Swamp stage, https://soundcloud.com/feral_music & https://soundcloud.com/spekkiwebu delivered a live-set experience that firmly planted itself into the collective consciousness. Monument is privileged to share the set that marked their second harmonious collaboration, weaving a sound tapestry that continues to resonate.

Their performance at Mo:Dem Festival 2022 was a testament to techno's evocative power – combining FERAL's ethereal undertones rooted in Rome and Spekki Webu's enchanting rhythms hailing from Delft.

The duo's collaborative magic didn't halt there. By August 2023, they graced the stages of Dekmantel Festival ’23 aan ’t IJ. With Feral's renowned prowess in audio engineering and Spekki Webu's described aptitude as a 'snake charmer' for his intricate selections, they lifted audiences to interstellar heights. Fans are abuzz with excitement for their forthcoming live-set project at Positive Education on the 4th of November.

Beyond their joint ventures, Spekki Webu's skills extend to sound design freelancing, and he is renowned in post-audio production for films. Feral, on the other hand, immerses himself in the heart of Rome, running a studio where he excels as a freelance mastering and mixing engineer for various clients.

While you indulge in this Monument offering, allow your anticipation to build: a joint release on Aube Rouge, Feral's esteemed label, is slated for Winter/Spring 2024. This project, birthed from their combined expertise and shared sessions, beckons as a tantalizing next chapter in their shared journey.

From Modem to Dekmantel, with an eager gaze set on Positive Education and Aube Rouge, Feral & Spekki Webu's musical exploration offers marvel at every turn.
