Amandra, half head honcho behind Ahrpe Records, goes for subtly evolving
and droning atmospheres. With releases spanning both a wide range of
electronic genres and record labels: Nous'klaer Audio, AD 93, Music_is,
Tikita or Konstrukt, just to name a few; the French producer based in
Toulouse illustrates with coherence his own vision of acid and tribal
rhythms that can be presented with either bright and soft feelings or
through a darker, more disturbed path. 

*Amandra has been performing around the world in renowned venues, such as: 
Vurt Seoul, Lantern Beijing, Afterlife New York, Concrete Paris, Contact &
Dommune Tokyo, Berghain - Panorama Bar Berlin, Klubd & Emotions Festival
Cyprus, B1 Taipei, Khidi Tbilissi, The Grand Factory Beirut, Le Bikini
Toulouse, Printworks London.

Coming up next is an EP made together with his long time close friend
Michał Wolski on Dutch imprint Konstrukt Records, release date 28.02.2025.

We’re excited to present the 69th release of the Embodiment podcast series, featuring a set from Agonis, co-founder of Amenthia Recordings. After his mesmerizing performance at one of our club nights in 2024, we’ve stayed in touch, and now we’re thrilled to share this exploration of Agonis' electronic music catalogue.

Some personal words by Agonis: 
"The mix conveys music, which I think works for listening at home. I didn't want to go for one style but rather wanted to mix things with a similar vibe which fit the current spring and sunny mood."

We invite you to tune in as it’s a set that truly speaks for itself. Enjoy the ride.

Embodiment 069 - Agonis

Today, we’re very pleased to welcome Italian-born, Berlin-based Midgar boss, Severja. Jacopo has been blending art and music for the past two decades. As the founder of Midgar label, he oversees both artist curation and visuals, and he's also part of Monument’s design and booking team.

His journey spans Europe, Asia, and Australia, including a stint in Taipei during the pandemic, and he's gained a reputation for hosting some of Berlin’s most talked-about parties.

For Osmura, he delivers a unique set — starting at 180 BPM and gradually slowing down through ambient and trippy dub techno, before ramping back up with d’n’b and murky steppers.

This week we land in Valencia and spend a moment with Ilayruni, a 19-year-old with an ear for rhythm and space, still shaping his sound but already showing a feel for nuance. Earlier this year, he released Mountain Flyers EP on Sungate, a label with which we’ve worked closely over the years, known for its focus on various shades of techno and a taste for forward-thinking sounds.

His hour-long set is made entirely from his own material, and it leans into the shadows. It starts slow and murky, with a dense, eerie atmosphere that unfolds with intent. The progression is subtle but steady, each track steps a little deeper into the fog, each rhythm adds a sharper edge. There’s tension in the way it builds, but no drama.

There’s a clear affection for polyrhythms and off-center grooves, and a careful balance between control and drift. The textures shift, the pace grows, but the mood stays intact, claustrophobic at times, even hypnotic. It’s not polished to perfection, and that’s part of the charm. You hear someone exploring, reaching, figuring it out in real time. A young producer following instinct, not trends. We’re curious where that path leads.

Delighted to welcome Utrecht’s Vand to The Observatory, one of our favorite artists <3

From falling in love with his collaborative EP Laren with Bas Dobbelaer, all the way through to his recently released Trialism EP on ISOTOOP (a collective now turned record label, which he’s at the helm of), Vand’s sound has truly captured our heart.

With lush ambient soundscapes coupled with driving grooves, this mix encapsulates everything we love about electronic music <3

The Observatory - Vand

We’re delighted to share another great chapter of our Herbarium mix series, this time recorded by @reasphere! 🌸 It’s a journey full of gems from which you can sense that they have been waiting for the right opportunity to pop out in a very special story. Minimalistic yet trippy and deep compositions with very few but perfectly on point placed elements. rea chose Colobanthus Quitensis (also known as the Antarctic pearlwort) as inspiration for his mix.

Here's a little backstory by rea about his choice:
“It’s the the most southern species growing in Patagonia and Southern Antarctica.
Even above the polar circle it’s sometimes too hot for the plant to survive - similar to the selected music it needs a very specific setting and mood to unfold its power.
Enjoy the sharp resilience.”

Herbarium No 029 - rea - Colobanthus Quitensis

What’s better than a mix from electronic music royalty Cio D’Or? Two mixes. This week we present something very special, a tale told across two chapters. As a mainstay of techno for over two decades, Cio D'Or has consistently pushed boundaries, gracing the decks of revered institutions worldwide and crafting a legendary discography with releases on Prologue, Semantica, Hypnus, Time to Express and more. 

Across both mixes you will hear Cio’s unparalleled ability for sculpting minimalism and sonic architecture, masterfully recontextualizing familiar and obscure tracks alike, breathing new life into them and unveiling hidden dimensions. She dissects, reassembles and creates intricate connections between disparate sounds, all flawlessly executed with an alchemist’s touch.

Prisma 33 starts at a slower tempo, delicately building into an eruption of psychedelic minimalism. Dada grows with kinetic energy, with Cio sculpting sounds and textures into a deep trip where time seems to bend and dissolve, finishing with an unexpected wildcard that only a master selector could make work.
