  The longest night is here. 
 Many cultures, religions, and spiritual traditions have honored the winter solstice.
Regardless of your holiday traditions, this time of year can be honored by reflecting on the past year and participating in your own personal ritual of light or Ending & Beginnings.  

 With this wonderful celebration, we are excited to host a very special witch with her beautiful Solstice rituals tape. 
Her delightful style and unique podcast series:  'Hekske - The Magic Witchtapes' have always been very close to our hearts and we couldn't have been happier and more grateful for this beautiful story and a wonderful beginning of the year.
 It is a very significant date for many reasons, but when a love story of a witch counts 25 years on this powerful date, it all becomes more magical and mesmerizing. 
We wish you all a year full of love and happiness.

With our 15th episode, we welcome another very talented artist to our Herbarium series. It is @alkini, the label head of the fabulous imprint @a-biotic. In his journey, he leads us through many different stages of consciousness, mixing intriguing beatless pieces with hypnotic rhyhthms.

Alkini chose the plant Lavender / Lavandula for this trip. Some words about it from his side:
'Various influences, various hues. 
I wanted to write something that resonates with myself using music that I admire.

Its color being my favorite and its scent never leaving me indifferent, lavender is the plant that brings back the most memories for me. 
It originates from Provence, in the south of France. A familiar place to me.

Originating from the western Mediterranean basin, lavender was already used by the Romans to preserve linen and scent baths. 
In Provence, lavender was employed in the Middle Ages for the production of perfumes and medicines, but it wasn't until the 19th century that its cultivation expanded.'

With two major milestones upon us today, we're fortunate enough to be celebrating with one of the finest in electronic music. A new year is upon us and today we also reach a major podcast milestone, to celebrate we welcome none other than contemporary techno legend, DJ Nobu for MNMT 400.

With decades of experience and as founder of both acclaimed party ‘Future Terror’ and record label ‘Bitta’, DJ Nobu has slowly but surely turned from being one of Japan's finest, to one of the world’s most in demand selectors. A great friend of Monument who delivered an incredible closing set at our first ever Monument City Festival in 2023, we couldn’t be happier to be marking the occasion with him. 

For this very special mix Nobu presents a stunning introspective excursion through electronica and deeper shades to celebrate the two milestones.

Infinite thanks and gratitude to everyone who has made this journey over the last 12 years possible; from all the incredible artists we've been lucky enough to showcase to you, our beloved listeners.

Stay tuned in 2024 🖤

MNMT 400 : DJ Nobu

It's certainly been a very strange and unpleasant year, finishing on an extremely sour note. However, some very, very wonderful and beautiful music has been released despite this, helping elevate one's spirit above the noise and dismal situation our planet is facing.

I didn't celebrate new year (a pint with my pal was it)...but earlier in the evening I made myself record this 2.5 hour mix of some of my favourite ambient and downtempo music of the year.

It includes Saeko Killy, Ramzi, XIII, Michal Turtle, Alek Lee, Quade, Pieter Kock, Secret Circuit, Erik Wollo, Ssiege, Jon Keliehor & Signy Jakobsdottir, Greville & The Lonely Voices, Finis Africae, Khidja, Froid Dub, Sign Libra, Habitat Ensemble, Simplists, The Black Frame, Kane Ikin, MD Pallavi & Andi Otto, Claire Rousay, Deep Nalstrom, Juna, Severin Black, Peter Power, Shakali and maybe a few others.

Leave a comment if you can't ID something and I'll try and answer. Mostly played from vinyl with a few exceptions.

Wishing you all a good 2024. Let's get together and make our voices heard!!!

@freybenedikt

RUBBER TIJD with Benedikt Frey

Mixed album containing bonus material from live improvisations recorded at the same period as the album. Given as a download exclusively to Bandcamp supporters.

In the presence of the Sun
the grip of the frost release itself
into a dance of the early morning fog.

Ever moving in uncertainty
within light and shadows
clarity is born as we dissolve.

Indra's Kiss
opens the door
where Colors are the birds

&

the 108 dimensions of green
are dancing like the spider and the snake.

Moon is breathing as
the Spotless mind
and the drowned Sea.

Reflections on the Silent surface
of the morning lake
the one eye sing
a sudden song of Eternity.

Wa Wu We - 108 Dimensions Of Green (Mixed Album)

CALL NOW! is a liquid sonic narrative which finds its starting point in the different backgrounds and experiences of the guests and focuses in their expression through music. The series of shows will focus on the interactions of people with a constantly shifting everyday reality, in the context of the limitations of movement and personal freedoms, and specifically in the reclaiming of a necessary space where 
emotions can be expressed.

The first show consists of a 2-hour sonic exploration, which focuses on the interplay between the roots of the past and their influence on the present sensory experience.

Fourth episode of CALL NOW! for the first hour invites @Wosto a favourite dj/producer from Hamburg. The man behind Teertape label and part of Falbeil duo bringing us off-kilter rythms. 

Wosto was born in 1980 in Geseke (a small town near in „Wostfalia“) and he got no wife, no childen and no car. In the beginning of the 90ths he was a famous ice skater under the moniker RED FLAME. 
After an accident in 1995 and an identity crisis he started to collect records and began to work as a DJ for a fairground ride. Wosto and his gang G TOWN BEATS were discovered by the club owner Travolta Michele and they started to do DJ sets in the club KLIMBIM in Geseke. 19,994 of the 20,000 inhabitants of Geseke weren`t interested in the music of the gang and so in 2004 the boys escaped to Hamburg. 
In 2013 Wosto and his best friend @Kluentah founded @andateyka.So far they released 10 vinyl records on different labels all over the world. In 2017 Wosto and the two members of NOSTAGIE ÉTERNELLE started the trio SAUERSTOFFF. Wosto is also releasing solo records and is running his own vinyl label - TEERPAPPE."
