The recording of my set at the last Monument party of 2022 in Oslo, playing before Rene Wise.

Monument at Røverstaden, Oslo 03.12.22

Clear as spring water, the memory of Shoal's beautiful live set echoing through the Norwegian mountains, finally sharing the stage together at Monument (@monument-podcast) after meeting in Amsterdam several years ago. Those familiar with our dear friends at Harmony Rec (@harmony-rec) will be undoubtedly familiar with Kenny's impeccable body of work, and for the rest an eye-opening treat awaits. Here, Kenny gathers highlights from his recent live sets and newly recorded material, arranged and refined into a perfect contemplation of the crisp arboreal air, a vivid composition of body and sound entwined tightly beneath the earth. Thanks Kenny!

@avsluta

Next on tentacular, we’re thrilled to host a mix from the multi-faceted Lucie Stepankova, known as Avsluta (@avsluta): a London-based sound artist, DJ, and curator. With a focus on the liminal spaces between ambient and dance music, Avsluta creates evocative experiences that invite deep, active listening and emotional connection.

Lucie is the force behind @introspective_electronics, a platform dedicated to exploring ambient-infused sounds through regular radio shows, podcasts, and curated live events. Her collaborative projects include co-running Sonic Garden—an experimental ambient and downtempo event series in partnership with AMOENUS—and co-curating @terra-obscura-london alongside DJ/producer Alicia, a bi-monthly exploration of ambient-tinged UK bass and progressive club sounds.

Through her live performances, Lucie improvises with a mix of objects, field recordings, electronics, and digital processing, crafting speculative soundscapes that embody the essence of nature and emotion. Her DJ sets are equally diverse, seamlessly flowing between ambient, downtempo, UK bass, and off-kilter deep techno, blending atmospheres that resonate both physically and soulfully.

She shared with us a few words with her mix

OCCA (ARCHIV)

OCCA has been organizing ARCHIV for over 10 years at the sacred club, Precious Hall in Sapporo, located in the northernmost region of Japan, Hokkaido. With his own party ARCHIV at the core, he has been expanding his scope of activities from all over Japan to the rest of the world. As an entity of singularity, he aims to transform time/space/spirit into unknown realms by arranging multifaceted elements such as the spiritualism of Psychedelic Music, the storytelling nature of House Music, the sci-fi dystopian feel of Detroit Techno and the trance of Minimal Music in a three- dimensional way through his deft mixing.
His rare presence has been recognized and he has been invited to play at DJ NOBU's Future Terror, Mindgames' The Labyrinth/Balance, and in recent years, has been invited to parties in Asia, Spekki Webu's Mirror Zone 5 Years Tour in EU, System Revival and Georgia's prestigious Bassiani, his circle of resonance continues to spread out.

Recording of Lynne's set at les Chaos Ambiants 2024
Mastering by Ryosuke Tsuchiya

Lynne is a Japanese artist who explores the outer realms of techno, experimental, and drum 'n'bass. First emerging in 2013 as part of Tokyo's underground scene, Lynne established herself quickly, winning the Samurai Music Mix competition and playing regularly at respected Tokyo institutions. Over time her sound evolved from its DnB roots to include more textural, obscure and experimental layers as she became fascinated with building emotive atmospheres and twisting them to her rhythm. Now an Astral Industries and Unknown Species resident, Lynne resides between Tokyo and London. She is an artist who is most comfortable in the grey space between genres, where her rhythm is a gravitational force pulling dancers in all the right directions.

[Les Chaos Ambiants]

The Pauza association presents Les Chaos Ambiants, a festival dedicated to the encounter between electronic music, the visual arts and the rich heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

This event is designed on a small scale to make it as comfortable as possible to listen, meet and move around, with a single stage to promote emerging and established artists, a natural setting conducive to the discovery of musical works and artistic installations, and an eco-responsible approach to limit its environmental impact.

The project has several objectives : to promote the European and international artistic scene, to stimulate and strengthen the cultural and creative network across the département and the region ; to help promote and showcase the natural and cultural heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté ; to support local produce and the local economy.

Lynne [Les Chaos Ambiants]

It's an honor to welcome Amsterdam's Loek Frey to our series, whose meticulous attention to detail and eminent experimentalism command the mind's attention like no other. The OQAD label head and Omen Wapta collaborator invites us to peer delicately beyond the edge, unveiling a hyperintense, subsonic blur through which a primordial palette begins to emerge. I've been looking forward to sharing this episode for quite some time, and to revel in this blend of artistry and precision was truly worth the wait. Thanks Loek!
