New Year’s Eve is here and in honour of the occasion, we’re forgoing our characteristically downtempo Sunday Mix for a special weekend instalment of our flagship series, with Max Cooper at the controls. Bookmark this one for whatever you have in store for this evening – or any other occasion, of course.

In his own words, the innovation-driven producer and visual artist opts for a “psychedelic techno adventure” featuring tracks from JakoJako, Barker, Oliver Coates, Rival Consoles, ANNĒ and Venetian Snares. “Lots of melodies and beautiful feelings to get lost in," Cooper begins, "but also lots of unexpected turns and mind-mangling soundworlds, and plenty of genre-hopping so you never quite know what's around the next corner."

Crack Mix 541: Max Cooper

Kicking off our Live from Dimensions 23' series with a fiery mix from Cartulis' @unai-trotti. This spine-tingling 2-hour recording takes us straight back to Saturday evening at Cosmos, Unai taking the reigns from Raphael Carrau and guiding us into the night with a signature blend of techno, electro, breaks and more. 

This is a first of many live recordings from the summer that we look forward to sharing in the new year.

Alex Picone is a man who's seen many trends come and go and is now existing in a space outside of them; without a doubt occupying a unique spot in the dance music landscape. 

Primarily known these days as one of the co-founders of Seekers and Small Black Dots, with an extensive discography behind him and having put his hand to numerous other projects, there's a maturity to both his production and DJing that's rarely seen in tandem.

This propulsive, two-hour mix blurs the lines between the two; laden with Alex's own productions, the singularity of his artistic vision and depth of his record bag is on full display.

Must've Been Music

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

This set was recorded at La Nature Festival somewhere in a forest in Belgium. This three hours set took place in the middle of the afternoon on June 22 during the summer solstice week-ender yet on a grey & moody day. Dive in!

A true legend and pioneering figure of techno, US sound architect and Geophone label owner Mike Parker breaks in on the RYC waves with a very special set full with his idiosyncratically dark, obsessive, inch-perfectly chiselled 4x4 wares. Before Boiler Room and co. were even a thing, a pioneering platform going by the name of Studio R° used to broadcast techno sets by prominent artists from a secret location in Berlin. This iconic, vinyl-only mix is Parker’s Studio R° set from 2013, now fully remastered for your listening pleasure. Building atmospheres unlike any other, brooding and transcending in equal measure, Parker has laid the foundation to an exceptionally rich body of work. Master of the industrial vocab, peeping towards Detroit but with his defining spin on the early days genre, Parker entices us down the path of steely monumentality and laser-precise mind control. Just as typically mazy, his present mix conjures up all traits of quality Parker material: 909-powered propulsion, enslaving acid whorls, Escher-like fractals. Wild, wild ride ahead.

Second Subject - Excerpt - Patreon Mix for February 2025

To mark the upcoming release "Several Streams of Thought" - Steve Bicknell [@steve-bicknell] new album, due out on May 9th on double vinyl, with a limited edition including a 7-inch, KR3 joins forces with the British producer to deliver a mix that shares the album's title, capturing its spirit and essence.

This journey chronicles Bicknell's decades-long exploration of electronic music, reflecting his deep roots as a collector, DJ, and producer. Drawing from a wide palette of tones and inspirations, it offers a raw and honest snapshot of his constantly evolving sonic identity.

Over the course of 75 minutes, the mix shifts from bright atmospheres to textures of pure power, ultimately entering a dark, low-ceilinged tunnel before reappearing in blinding white, taking a deep breath, and continuing. 

It’s an intricate processing of various dimensions, featuring exclusive unreleased tracks from the 2x12" and 7" editions of the album.

Svreca needs little introduction. The Semantica label head has carved out a reputation in his hometown, Madrid, and internationally as a master of deep, hypnotic, forward-thinking techno.

For our One Year celebration at ://aboutblank in Berlin in May 2017, he held us spellbound under the glow of the late-spring sun with this luminescent mix of colours, textures, and sounds.

We are very excited to present the live recording of this set as the latest installation in our mix series.

Patterns of Perception 19 - Svreca

@svrecaofficial does it his own way.

For the next interview in our FOLD INVITES series, Enrique Mena spoke candidly about his label @semantica-records’ 15-year milestone and his thoughts on the direction of the musical landscape. 

For his accompanying mix, he provided us with an exclusive archival set, recorded live at Chiba in Japan in 2014. A fitting way to commemorate 15 years of his label, by looking back with appreciation.
