SIgnal 042: Andrea Ferlin

With our 15th episode, we welcome another very talented artist to our Herbarium series. It is @alkini, the label head of the fabulous imprint @a-biotic. In his journey, he leads us through many different stages of consciousness, mixing intriguing beatless pieces with hypnotic rhyhthms.

Alkini chose the plant Lavender / Lavandula for this trip. Some words about it from his side:
'Various influences, various hues. 
I wanted to write something that resonates with myself using music that I admire.

Its color being my favorite and its scent never leaving me indifferent, lavender is the plant that brings back the most memories for me. 
It originates from Provence, in the south of France. A familiar place to me.

Originating from the western Mediterranean basin, lavender was already used by the Romans to preserve linen and scent baths. 
In Provence, lavender was employed in the Middle Ages for the production of perfumes and medicines, but it wasn't until the 19th century that its cultivation expanded.'

Herbarium No 15 - Alkini - Lavandula

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 🖤

MNMT 400 : DJ Nobu

It's certainly been a very strange and unpleasant year, finishing on an extremely sour note. However, some very, very wonderful and beautiful music has been released despite this, helping elevate one's spirit above the noise and dismal situation our planet is facing.

I didn't celebrate new year (a pint with my pal was it)...but earlier in the evening I made myself record this 2.5 hour mix of some of my favourite ambient and downtempo music of the year.

It includes Saeko Killy, Ramzi, XIII, Michal Turtle, Alek Lee, Quade, Pieter Kock, Secret Circuit, Erik Wollo, Ssiege, Jon Keliehor & Signy Jakobsdottir, Greville & The Lonely Voices, Finis Africae, Khidja, Froid Dub, Sign Libra, Habitat Ensemble, Simplists, The Black Frame, Kane Ikin, MD Pallavi & Andi Otto, Claire Rousay, Deep Nalstrom, Juna, Severin Black, Peter Power, Shakali and maybe a few others.

Leave a comment if you can't ID something and I'll try and answer. Mostly played from vinyl with a few exceptions.

Wishing you all a good 2024. Let's get together and make our voices heard!!!

Electronic Convergence - Verdant Session 04 - Dec 23

Ada Kaleh combines hypnotic rhythms with rich, naturally evolving sounds that invite the listener into a parallel world. Ignoring genre boundaries and questioning the linear nature of time, each episode guides the listener though whirling soundscapes, DMT realms and time loops, creating an aural safe space in which to explore.

Supersanity w/ Ada Kaleh - 2nd of December 2024

Exploring the realms of sound, creativity, and connection. As a DJ and music producer, I craft immersive journeys inspired by minimalism, spirituality, and deep introspection. With a decade of experience in breakdancing and a love for photography and art, my sets are a blend of rhythm, emotion, and storytelling.

EP:02 soon: Jules David & Ben Abrahams remixed by Herck & Jay Tripwire

*Vadim Svoboda of Makesense about my Rupert Wall mix:  "GREAT MIX Katharine, I have nothing to say but: tight, personal, varied but very homogenous... top notch."  

*Feeder Sound Romania: “her recordings are intense and with a sophisticated perspective on sounds and rhythms." 

Those who crave nourishing sonic sessions have followed Katharine’s journey along the Australian East Coast alongside her musical partner Ben Abrahams for over two decades as they’ve influenced the scene with their exciting taste & consistent delivery of stimulating underground house & techno, in clubs & outdoors. Known for 'that sound', they uncompromisingly brought West Coast house to the Australian underground scene.

Together they created ‘Strange Brew’, an all ages acid-house vinyl party at the Billinudgel Pub, Byron Bay, & for their first gatherings there, the infamous 'Shed' was built;  revelling in the Outback for sunset was deliciously surreal, dancing to stripped back house grooves amongst the gum trees. 

They ran eight extremely memorable years of Saturday nights at Elsewhere Bar on the Gold Coast. Katharine played psychedelic house before Ben's killer 5 hour sets, then both joined together for the heaving sweaty early morning hours.  Elsewhere won Best Music for a Club in Australia at the Sydney Bar Music Awards at that time. All vinyl back then.

Katharine had the first of her two children before returning to Melbourne and putting on high-vibe parties at the infamous Killing Time Bar & My Aeon,  always with a tight crew of Australia’s best underground djs.  

Katharine made mixes for Art-E Romania and the Microtechno Podcast series 10 years ago, having long been recognised for her way with intricate sounds, particularly with Romanian collectives and lovers of micro-house &  minimal.  She appreciates music which alludes to the transcendent - both gently & powerfully.  As an undeniably charged up being she just keeps on lovingly creating fresh soundtracks for her friends’ lives. Last year she made 21 mixes for amazing collectives around the world, including Half is Enough Romania's Strangers in the Night: each session is an experience. 

Her unique way elevates and deeply satisfies at both sunset & sunrise, and she has played magical closing sets out in the forest, most recently for the Comfort Zone crew on their final day on the main stage by the creek. 

Find her playing at Killing Time Bar & Fiftyfive Bar: where she seamlessly mixes fresh minimal with the best of early 2000s West Coast house, she's at Motion:Theory parties & playing for local crews, but experience her anytime through the Motion:Theory mix series and the sessions she makes for collectives who appreciate her taste and storytelling ability: 
it’s LUSH MINIMAL for the dancefloor.
