After 4 years I am back with the sequel to 22 Rhythm. Two hours of unreleased music from the past years. Plenty tracks in here are planned for release, so stay tuned.

I hope you enjoy listening just as much as I enjoyed the process of creating. As life evolves, so does my sonic interpretation of her cadence. Different from the past; different from the future.

MNMT 452 : Chloe Lula

DJ Sodeyama’s been around since the 90s, a Tokyo-based whizz and DJ’s DJ, whose career has offered the type of sound many selectors would envy. It’s incredibly sharp, meandering along its intelligent thread in unexpected and high-minded ways. Since the early noughties he could add producer to his soubriquet too, flexing his minimal muscle with early releases, a steady stream of ensuing ventures further cementing his craft via Korean-based deep techno distributor Artscope, Dynamic Reflection, illegal alien, Daybreak and many more. He’s also explored adjacent genres and ventured into the world of house under his parallel alias The People In Fog. Pretty full plate, but the quality of his sound has suffered nothing for it. His techno is an expert tapestry of interlaced details and lingering moods, injected with raw feeling and undeniable skill. It darts from peak to peak, fusing frequencies riddled with forward-pitched elements and vivid effects, and forges a long-range feeling that abuts the realm of both man and machine. Thick and volatile techno that serves as proof that the genre can keep expanding outwards in fresh and surprising ways. Bassiani Podcast 260 moves the needle further, it's quintessential Sodeyama: vivid climbs and steep descents, warped vocal samples, brave and unbending beats for prime-time raving.

Bassiani invites DJ Sodeyama / Podcast #260

80번째 벌트 팟캐스트는 스페인 지로나를 중심으로 2000년대부터 활동해온 전설적인 테크노 프로듀서, 30drop의 1시간 디제이 세트와 함께 합니다. 

일렉트로닉 음악 작곡가이자 라이브 연주자, 30D 레이블의 운영자인 30drop은 바르셀로나의 전성기 때 유년 시절을 보내며 포스트 펑크, 고스, 그리고 일렉트로닉 음악에 빠져들었고, 90년대 중반 바로셀로나의 전설적인 클럽들 - Nitsa, KGB, Moog, Syndicate에서 시데랄(Sideral)이나 앙헬 몰리나(Angel Molina) 같은 로컬 디제이들의 세트를 들으며 성장했다. 2000년대에 들어 테크노, 실험음악, 인더스트리얼 장르에 깊이 빠져든 그는 30drop이라는 가명을 만들고 40~50년대 미래 공상 과학 소설과 클래식 디트로이트,  버밍엄 테크노에서 영감을 받은 새로운 테크노 음악을 만들기 시작했다. 이후 그는 Berghain, Tresor, Moog 등의 세계적인 클럽에서 공연하는 유럽 일렉트로닉 뮤직 씬의 주요 인물이 되었고, 2014년에는 기능적이면서 동시에 실험적인 댄스 음악을 위한 플랫폼 30D Records를 설립하여 현재까지 이어오고 있다.
30drop은 2015년 Detroit Underground 레이블에서 첫 정규앨범 ‘Tools For The Dimensional Step(2015)’를 발표한 이후, 제프 밀스(Jeff Mills)가 운영하는 전설적인 Axis Records에서 ‘Soroban(2020)’과 Photosynthetic Zone Manifesto(2021)’, 30D 레코즈를 통해 ‘The Time Of Cruel Miracles(2017)’, ‘Insight Into Mind And Space(2023)’를 발매하는 등, 현재까지 총 5장의 정규 앨범과 수많은 EP 앨범들을 발표했다.

80th vurt podcast features a one-hour DJ set from 30drop, a legendary techno producer/live performer/DJ based in Girona, Spain since the 2000s..

Electronic music composer, Live performer and 30D label owner 30drop was born and raised in Barcelona where he first fell in love with post-punk, goth and electronic music during the city’s post-Olympia heyday. At the time, Spain was bursting at the seems with new artistic and cultural energy culturally in the wake of the ‘La Onda Layetana’ cultural movement in Barcelona in the late 70s and the ‘La Movida’ movement in Madrid in the 80s. 
30drop spent the mid-90s between legendary clubs Nitsa, KGB, Moog or Syndicate (in neighboring Terrassa) and various local skate parks, where tapes of the previous nights' sets by local heroes such as Sideral or Angel Molina were played and traded. Delving deeper into techno, experimental and industrial electronics in the 2000s, he adopted the 30drop moniker in reference to the drop-frame time code used for synching 1950s US black and white TV images to sound. He eventually began making music inspired by Russian, British and American retro- futuristic science fiction of the 40s and 50s, as well as classic Detroit and Birmingham techno. 
Since 2014 he has become a staple of the European electronic music scene, playing venues such as Berghain, Tresor, Moog Club, etc. The same year he also established his own 30D records imprint as a platform for both functional and more experimental strains of dance music. 
As a producer, 30drop combines elements of industrial, bleep techno and electro with polyrhythmic melodies and evocative soundscapes, creating create music that is both functional and listenable outside of the club context. He was released five full length albums, including Soroban (2020) and Photosynthetic Zone Manifesto (2021) on Jeff Mills’ legendary Axis Records, as well as Tools For The Dimensional Step (2015) on the Detroit Underground imprint, The Time Of Cruel Miracles (2017) and Insight Into Mind And Space (2023) on his own 30D Records, where he also collaborated with Gerald Donald (as Arpanet) for the split EP Phases (2018).

MNMT Label Showcase : Monday Off

A slow drift into the shadows at Tresor, Berlin.
The fourth chapter in the VVVT_MIX series emerges from the hands of Velvet Vortex founder Alicja Aksamit, who gently opened the night on July 5th, 2025.

Her set, woven from ambient currents, distant dub echoes and deep, resonant techno - invited quiet introspection. A delicate unraveling, suspended between stillness and motion. A moment out of time.

Let yourself sink into it.

A Protest Song

From his early releases on the legendary german imprint raster-noton, to his more recent output aimed at the club, Kangding Ray managed to trace a singular trajectory, navigating the unexplored territories between experimental music and dance music.

Through his consistency as both Live performer and DJ, and a number of critically acclaimed releases, Kangding Ray showed his ability to keep a genuine artistic approach, while slowly crafting a unique universe, equally focused on emotional response and visceral impact.

Kangding Ray’s music tests boundaries, evolving constantly in its exploration of texture and rhythms, while talking equally to the body and the mind.
From his past as architect, Kangding Ray kept a multidisciplinary approach to art, applying his craft in diverse artistic fields such as visual arts, film scores, audiovisual installations and dance performances.
