Tek Session 2

Cisco Track - Dub Tech Research

Hello! Friends of the Monument.

Our guest for this episode is Luigi Tozzi(@luigitozzi). An Italian based producer with releases on influential labels like Dynamic Reflection and Hypnus Records (Sweden). We could expect to hear more from Luigi in the future as you could read about in the Q&A. On the note of “future”, this mix showcases a futuristic landscape of techno sounds and grooves. A real treat for the mind.

1. Which DJ would you like to share a beer and a conversation with? Why?

Probably with the guys from Northern Electronics, especially with Acronym.
I am paying a lot of attention to their output and like it very much, it's interesting
to me  how they express all a similar mood in their music, but keeping a very distinctive
and individual touch. They are very careful not to unveil too much about themselves, which is something that I respect, but I'd be very curious to know a bit more about their methods and workflow.

2. How do you make your music? And whats up with the deep and sci-fi sound style? 

I make my music with an hybrid setup, I own some analog machines (Ms20 mini/Microbrute and a couple drum machines) but I tend to work and process a lot in the box with Ableton and some plugin bundles. This is the way I will continue to work in my solo project, but in the future I am planning to make a collaboration with a friend here in 
Rome which will be centered only on machines. I think that jamming and arranging live can be very stimulating for creativity and I'm very looking forward to give it a try.

3. What's happening in the future? (releases, gigs etc)

A lot is happening in the next months, with Hypnus we will release a LP with great artists (such as Cassegrain,Ness, Svreca, Mike Parker, Alan Backdrop, Orphx, Cio d'Or and Edit Select) remixing our works from the past year.This will be released in January and in the following months I already have three solo releases confirmed and some remixes. Also I am very excited about starting to work on a live set, I know this won't be easy and will take some time but it's an objective I have fixed as a goal for 2015.

4. Any words to the people out there mesmerized by your sound? 

No I'll just take the chance to say THANK YOU to everyone who is supporting what I am doing, I would have never expected my first two releases to go out of stock that fast and I am very grateful for this.

Funes!

steht für einen Sound zwischen Tiefe, Melancholie und cineastischer Atmosphäre. Hypnotische Pads, schwere Kicks, Breaks und beatlose Momente prägen den Stil kombiniert mit Einflüssen aus Dub, Noise und experimenteller Elektronik.

Inspiration zieht Funes aus dem Leben selbst, mit all seinen Höhen und Tiefen. Musik ist Ausdruck innerer Prozesse so etwa beim Debütalbum Agonia (2021), das als Selbstveröffentlichung auf Bandcamp erschien und den Verlust des Vaters verarbeitet.

DJ-Sets von Funes sind mehr als Tanzflächenbeschallung: Sie laden ein zur Reise, zum Innehalten, zum Eintauchen. Ob im Club oder zu Hause es geht um Räume, in denen Bedeutung, Spiritualität und Emotion entstehen können.

Seit fast zehn Jahren folgt Funes einem fein geschulten, intuitiven Musikgespür. Die Trackauswahl folgt keinem Schema, sondern einem inneren Filter, der sich ständig weiterentwickelt. Podcasts und Sets spiegeln persönliche Phasen und aktuelle Einflüsse immer mit dem Ziel, durch die Musik anderer Künstler*innen neue Klangwelten zu erschaffen.

[ENG]

Funes!

Stands for a sound that lies between depth, melancholy, and cinematic atmosphere. Hypnotic pads, heavy kicks, breaks, and beatless moments shape the style, combined with influences from dub, noise, and experimental electronics.

Funes draws inspiration from life itself, with all its highs and lows. Music is an expression of inner processes as in the debut album Agonia (2021), a self-release on Bandcamp that processes the loss of a father.

Funes’ DJ sets are more than just soundtracks for the dancefloor: they invite listeners on a journey to pause, to immerse. Whether in the club or at home, it's about creating spaces where meaning, spirituality, and emotion can arise.

For almost ten years, Funes has followed a finely tuned, intuitive sense of music. The track selection follows no fixed pattern but rather an internal filter that constantly evolves. Podcasts and sets reflect personal phases and current influences always with the aim of creating new sonic worlds through the music of other artists.

Our next guest is a talented producer and dj hailing from Portugal, his productions have been featured on @aurora-mistica-records, @linee-sonore, and soon to be our 3rd release coming in 2026. His style dances between subtle hypnotic techno, subversive dub, while replicating elements of techy progressions, he definitely checks the boxes of a well crafted artist thriving in his element. 

A few words about our next artist;"Where shadows dance and beats echo, emerges an enigmatic force, a wanderer of sonic realms, seeking to uncover the hidden depths of forgotten beats and shadowy soundscapes.

Driven by the pulse of dark, deep and mysterious rhythms, each set is crafted as ritual, a conjuring of primal code.

As the fog lifts and the beats intensify, stands a guardian, a mystic navigator charting a course through the ever-evolving soundscapes."

Please welcome @fog_catcher

We are very glad to welcome Michel to our podcast series. There is a good chance to remedy your absence, if you are one of those who missed him in Prague in May this year, where we hosted his live debut. He was featured within the Hypnus Records showcase, that is a record label established by himself in 2013. 

Shortly after that he defined a sub-label called TOME, a medium for releasing strictly his own work, that tries to dissolve his fascination for the occult in his musical production.  
If you have known everything written above, we strongly recommend checking other sublabel of Hypnus named Kabalion.

Vicky Zissou has been capturing hearts, minds and dancing feet with her richly organic, eclectic sound over recent years, flitting between atmospheric, dubby, acid and raw industrial vibrations in a way that oozes with class and ensures your attention never wavers. Between Sweden and Berlin, Black Wave podcast no. 30 by Vicky Zissou.

Now’s the time to leave before another storm hits the coast, deeper into the island. Sand quickly replaced with leaves rustling under the weight of your drained body. A swift change in light marks the entering to the jungle. Rumbling of the ocean is left far behind, tropical heat with an orchestra of birds, animals and insects overflows every bit of you. Although, one particular sound stands out, with slow but steady repetition inviting from deep within the forest. The closer you get, the easier it is to distinguish meditative hum followed by a voice – a human voice. Emerging from the shadows a giant black rock with the carving o a wave appears, and the eyes gazing directly into you – the shaman has been waiting.
