DJ_YAZI_Katharsis_Stories_009 | at EDEN 2021, Japan | July 2021

Alongside kindred flame Haruka, he’s half of improv/jockey act Twin Peaks. Solo, he’s a techno veteran (and two time Podcast invitee) with a hunger for imported fare. Influenced by an abundance of Japanese dub and jazz, and member of avant-garde hip-hop ensemble Think Tank, DJ Yazi’s protean inclinations spawned Black Smoker Records once upon a time, and residencies at Tokyo staples, El Nino and Konvektion. These continue, and with each new trip around the sun Yazi makes several across the globe. From coast to coast, his laser focus, heed for detail and undeniable skill are worth a raver’s pilgrimage all their own. A mixture of deep, trippy sounds and off the wall references make for a singular sound as Bassiani Podcast 160 will attest. This one’s a slow burner, a live recording from the second night of Future Terror’s 20th Anniversary on the Horoom floor: oddball and laid back, a fresh taste of what this decorated pioneer has up his playful sleeve.

DJ로서 그는 깊은 그루브에 중점을 둔 세트를 통해 여러 스타일을 넘나들며 유연하게 움직입니다. 디테일과 정확성, 데크를 능숙하게 컨트롤하는 그의 모습은 그가 이 예술 장르에 오랫동안 몸담아왔다는 것을 분명하게 보여줍니다.

DJ YAZI at rural2023

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 🖤
