The 84th installment of our podcast series is curated by the multi-talented and multi-facetted Amsterdam based Djane Afra. She began avidly buying and playing records at the tender age of 16, infatuated with the classic sound of the 2000's; The Hacker, Miss Kittin, DJ Hell and his International Deejay Gigolo Records were all part of her musical upbringing. She soon found herself behind the decks, playing the records she loved to crowds at clubs and festivals around Amsterdam. When the pressures of Djing and club politics started to weigh her down, she decided to take a short break, focusing on another passion of hers; jewelry. Afra has now returned with a vengeance, becoming a resident at Spielraum Amsterdam as well as hosting her own bi-monthly party series at Melkweg called Illuminator (yes, that is a reference to UR). Enjoy this mix of detroit electro and techno records, a sample of what one can expect when seeing Afra light up the dancefloor.

Marco Bailey essential underground

The first in a series of fragmented audio edits based upon my live DJ set recordings.  Each one will attempt to capture the feeling and direction of the night, giving those who were there a reminder of the events they experienced while giving those who were not present a fragmented distortion of what they missed.

A little surprise to ease out of the summer and reminisce on the beautiful weekend we had at Monument Festival. I’m truly grateful for all the positive feedback I’ve received, and like many of you, I also felt the need to revisit this journey. 

Since there were some latency issues with my monitoring during the set, I decided to re-record the original tracklist to share this moment together as a sonic memory.

As a third-year visitor of the festival, I can safely say that my musical journey wouldn't have been the same without all the inspiring artists I have experienced at Monument. It has expanded my horizons in such a deep and valuable way, and it felt only right to reflect that journey in my set.

The mood I wanted to creat was an excursion over "Planet Monument". A bird's-eye view of the utopian place, shaped by many different sonic qualities that together form the festival we all love so much. 

Set time: Thursday 31st of August 20:00 - 22:00

MDK explores home in many different styles and genres but always returns to the underground sounds. After a prolonged period of playing.

After a considerable amount of time, we will be seeing a lot of new sets and significant improvements in sounds. These sets will take a dark ambiance with a blend of old school tribal sounds.
