Absira Live at Perpendicular 2024

Introducing Absira, the avant-garde project conceived by Marco Ragni and ABSIS. This recording is extracted from Espacio Perpendicular 24, marking their inaugural public performance amidst the enchanting Spanish forest. 
The live set, an entirely improvised feat, highlighted the potent fusion of their artistic energies. 
An underground maelstrom of tribal dub techno finesse.

Absira Live at Perpendicular 2024

On the Saturday night of Monument Festival 2024, amenthia recordings co-founder agonis delivered a legendary session of futuristic, crystalline electronics. With the dancers engulfed in thick fog and red lasers, and the newly upgraded sound system of the Varden stage at his command, agonis drenched the crowd with tidal waves of finely tuned, precision psychedelia that was crafted specifically for the Norwegian forest. The ultimate high fidelity speaker test. 

Play it extra loud for your family over the holiday season.

We don't often invite artists twice. But when a. brehme comes knocking, our doors are wide open. 7 years after DSS 022, the Peaou label owner is back on DSS 102.

This time, seeking hypnosis and being entranced by a groovy and trippy selection of various club oriented tracks played below 126 beats per minute.

As we turn the page to 2025, we find ourselves reflecting on the powerful moments that defined the Monument Festival last year. One such memory was the opening ceremony led by the incredible Sarah Wreath. A sonic experience that set the tone for connection, introspection, and renewal.

The intention behind Sarah’s live set was clear: to create a meditative space where festivalgoers could connect deeply—with one another, the natural surroundings of Veggli, and, most importantly, with themselves. It was more than music; it was an invitation to embark on a transformative journey, bridging ancient and modern worlds through sound.

Her performance blended electronic synthesis with acoustic elements, weaving together indigenous, ethereal, and psychedelic sounds. The result was a hypnotic tapestry of tribal ambient rhythms, designed to ground us in the moment while opening our hearts to new possibilities.

Central to the experience was the use of pure tones tuned to 432 Hz and 216 Hz, frequencies known for their cosmic harmony and healing properties:

432 Hz, often called “natural tuning,” resonated with the rhythm of the universe, fostering relaxation and emotional balance.

216 Hz, a harmonic counterpart, enhanced the meditative quality of the performance, drawing listeners deeper into themselves.

A standout element of the ceremony was Sarah’s use of a Chao Gong, amplified with a contact microphone and enriched with FX processing. Its deep bass frequencies (110 Hz) created a grounding effect, while layers of Tibetan singing bowls and other meditative instruments brought a celestial dimension to the soundscapes. Together, these elements formed a sonic portal—a sacred opening to the festival and the year ahead.

As we welcome 2025, we hold this memory as a symbol of renewal and intention. Sarah’s performance wasn’t just the beginning of the festival, it was a new beginning for all of us, a reminder of the power of music to heal, connect, and inspire.

Here’s to carrying that spirit of harmony and connection forward into the new year. May 2025 bring even more moments that resonate with the heart and soul.
With love,

The Monument Team

Monument Festival 2024 Opening Ceremony : Sarah Wreath (live)

We are super thrilled to announce we have reached a great milestone in our DSS journey. We'd like to thank everyone who joined and supported our project during the past years. On to the next 100!

Proud to present DSS 100, brought with care by Pianeti Sintetici, a conceptual concept by Davide Perrone (Primal Code). It draws inspiration from the factories of Magrathea, a planet in Douglas Adams' classic space opera The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where artificial planets are manufactured on commission.

Davide says. "I like to imagine the howls of creatures inhabiting solar systems outside our own. Rarefied atmospheres, alien sequences, and unfamiliar tonal scales. So, I see Pianeti Sintetici as an open-ended design research project where I can explore these inspirations."

You know that feeling when you find a good mix? That little hit of satisfaction, like, yeah, that was time well spent. But then there are the rare ones—the mixes that hit just right, that feel like stumbling upon a new friend you just know you’ll be spending a lot of time with. That’s exactly what happened when we heard the latest Delayed with… mix from Toxido Mask.

Toxido has been on our radar for a while, and for good reason. She’s one of those artists who doesn’t just play music—she builds entire worlds with it. From weightless ambient to brain-twisting halftime to relentless techno, she moves through sounds with the precision of someone who truly gets it. Every mix, every track she touches feels like it was put together with care, with intention. You don’t just listen—you experience it.

And this mix? You’re gonna want to sit with this one. Or better yet, stand up—because the moment you hit play, you won’t be sitting for long. It’s DJing at its finest: sharp, fluid, and impossible to ignore. The flow is effortless, the energy is undeniable. One minute, you’re locked into a hypnotic halftime groove; the next, you’re riding a wave of rolling techno that hits in all the right places. It never loses its grip. You won’t want it to.

It’s no surprise Toxido Mask holds down a residency at Tresor—she plays like she was born for it. But she’s not just shaping dancefloors; she’s shaping the scene itself, overseeing the artistic direction of OMM Transmission, the evolution of the Catharsis series.

Some mixes are good. Some are great. And then there are the ones that stay with you. This is one of those.

About this mix (few words from F-ON): 
"About the storytelling, well,  i can explain how the process of the recording was:
Friday night, It has been a hard and stressful day.
Everyone at home is sleeping, so I take a RedBull can from the fridge and I go to my dinner room.
I close the door, and start to record. The healing vibes start in my technics turntables and my Genelec monitors that sound very low.
I don't want to wake anyone up.
The next two hours are just for me.

His progressive sessions, profound and with long mixes, are real voyages that sail through experimental music, ambient and horizontal and dubby techno.

His productions are 4x4 experiments of low tempo with field recordings and marked spaces, where he explores timbres, textures and cinematographic structures. He is resident at the Alpenglühen and Taiga sessions and owner of the label Antimatter together with Bule.

He is also the owner of Alpenglühen (the label) focused in deep and ambient techno which explores the thin line between light and darkness.

#45 - F-On - The Healing

Mariachiara Troianiello, the Italian sound artist behind the moniker Katatonic Silentio, works at the crossroads of electronic music, performing arts and sound studies. Active as a DJ for more than 15 years, her sets adopt multiple forms, fluctuating between an analogue past and a technological, fast-paced future. At times, her sets focus on pure abstraction, consisting of ethereal soundscapes that seek to transcend the tangible through a mix of musique concrète, world, spoken word, ambient or dub. At others, they come across as concrete and club-oriented, crossing techno, broken beats or drum'n'bass.

For MNMT 457, Katatonic Silentio presents this exceptional mix that intricately evolves with subtle and nuanced layers into a delicate yet mind-bending trip of unconventional rhythms and textures. Float into the depths now.

MNMT 457 : Katatonic Silentio

Ten years of On Board Music—it speaks for itself. We’ve been collaborating with them almost since the beginning, watching them grow steadily while staying true to their values—thoughtful curation, long-term relationships, and a real commitment to the artists they work with. Reaching a decade in this industry without compromising is something worth celebrating.

For their anniversary compilation, they brought together a group of artists who reflect that spirit. Among them is Jin Synth, whose track Self Navigation adds a spacious, introspective layer to the release. We first met Jin at Mostra Festival a few years ago and have been following her work since—whether through her releases, her live performances, or the way she approaches sound as something deeply hands-on. She also contributed a guest mix to our series, offering another glimpse into her precise, layered style.

In this conversation with Theresa Bäumel, Jin shares more about her background in sound art, her process of building custom instruments, and how she stays grounded in a constantly shifting scene.

BC009 :: Javi Frias - "Time & Space"

A. Dj Nature_Flip

“Over Paradise” is the second track taken from the forthcoming Echoes of Paradise EP on a brand new vinyl label out of Washington, D.C. by the name of Better Listen Records. It starts off with a bit of a filtered disco vibe as sampled female vocals are played over a groovy beat and bass while some keys gently loop in the back. A high string line amps up the anticipation and boy does it deliver as the track takes off into a jazz funk fueled jam. Led by a jazzy flute and super groovy bass, the main stretch of this tune makes it impossible to keep your feet still. Keep your eyes peeled for this EP as we expect this one to be a hot commodity with the release just around the corner!
