Donato Dozzy at The Labyrinth 2014.

Venue: Naeba Greenland, Gunma, Japan.

To celebrate 20 years of building Labyrinths, we have decided to release one set from each of the last ten years. I've chosen ten timeless moments that both document the history of the event and provide a historical snapshot of underground electronic music over the past ten years.

We have chosen a broad range--from closing techno sets, to morning ambient sets, to experimental sets to close the night. Each set represents a different side of the event. Taken together, they present a portrait of a decade of music.

The Labyrinthの20周年を記念して、過去10年間を振り返り、それぞれの年からひとつのミックスをピックアップすることにしました。イベントの歴史を記録すると同時に、過去10年間のアンダーグラウンドエレクトロニックミュージックの歴史的なスナップショットを提供します。今聞いても色褪せない、タイムレスな極上のミックスをお楽しみください。

テクノのクロージングセットから、朝のアンビエントセット、そして夜を締めくくるエクスペリメンタルセットまで幅広いセレクトですが、どのセットもThe Labyrinthの欠かせない側面を表しており、ここ10年におけるエレクトロニック ミュージックの全容とも言えるでしょう。

For MNMT 392 Sunju Hargun presents a very special mix. This incredible 2.5 hour journey was recorded in the Japanese mountains at the legendary Paramount Festival earlier this year. Delivered during the precious hours of sunrise with sounds of time bending, space stretching delights. Essential listening.

Sunju Hargun has over fifteen years of experience DJing, he has showcased his skills across the globe, from space-out sets in jungles to power psychedelic music in abandoned warehouses. From Asia to Europe, Panorama Bar to Organik Festival, Sunju has illustrated how his unique cross-fusion of cultures and musical blends is loved across multiple continents.

Building on his own Thai and Bangkok identity, with Indian and Japanese roots, Sunju, himself a fusion of various cultures across the Asian continents, has been one of the leading regional actors, ensuring that cross-pollination and collaboration have become essential facets of the Southeast Asian scene, with inspiration and energy regularly transmitting between cities and crews.

Beyond his love for DJing and bringing his musically diverse pallet to the dance floors, his labor-of-love projects, Karma Klique, and @siamesetwinsrecords, also are finding an ever-growing foundation in the pan-Asian electronic music scene, fostering human and musical connections across the region and beyond.

After listening to many Freerotation recordings over the years, it feels a bit surreal to share this one. I had such a great time meeting the freero community. Very special to feel the positive vibe and patience to build something new.
