Long Vehicle Round 15 w/ Reece Walker & Sinh Tai

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

2023 proved too much for the Omega III studio needles so the last show of the year on Wrecks Radio features an assemblage of high tempo trance tinged digitracks to push you on through the catacombs. Expect compositions from Klasse Kids Mogwaa and Luca Lozano alongside promos and digital files mined online.

WRECKS WRADIO - NEVILL ST CATACOMBS 4 - OMEGA III

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!!!

much love to Greg for jumping in as co-pilot just before lift-off, it was a real trip

A.F.O.M. International: I.W.D Showcase - Zozo - 08 Mar 2024

“This mix is a transmission from an eternal dancefloor always in the perfect moment of eternal dawn. Caught between ecstasy and introspective. In perfect balance between the past and the future.”

Growing up in Munich, it was the environment of Berlin, and in particular the now defunct underground venue Griessmuehle, that shaped the early sound of Jo, then known as ioth.

Influenced by local communities and the international music avant-garde, he shaped the sound that became the Jotel California trademark: Melting together trance, house, acid and electro into a bubbling cauldron of progressive energies.

As a DJ, he's proved his mettle on countless club floors and DIY raves he's organised with friends outside Berlin.

With releases on labels such as Klasse Wrecks, Inch by Inch and of course his own Warning crew, he quickly made a name for himself among musical connoisseurs and hungry ravers alike.

Comet Premieres proudly presents Summerslam, a standout progressive house weapon from Rockka on Brisbeats. The original drives forward with rolling grooves, a powerful low-end, and bright melodic lifts, striking that sweet spot between summer warmth and underground intensity.

On the flip, Matt Black turns up the heat with a peak-time rework built for full-throttle club moments. From early-set build-ups to main-room madness and sunrise finales, Summerslam lands as a must-have cut for every progressive house arsenal.

Sri Lankan producer Rockka has become a standout force in the progressive house realm, shaping a signature sound defined by deep atmospheres, emotive melodies, and powerful, flowing grooves. His music strikes a rare balance  cinematic in feeling yet built with the energy to captivate any dance floor.

With releases on respected imprints like Mango Alley, Juicebox Music, and SLC-6, Rockka has solidified his place among the genre’s most compelling new voices. His tracks have earned heavy support from tastemakers including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, and Nicolas Rada, consistently appearing in influential sets around the world.

From the North East to the South West, Matt Black’s three-decade journey defines unwavering passion for electronic music. A move to London in 1991 ignited his connection to dance culture, later solidified in 1994 when a John Digweed mixtape set his musical direction. In the studio, Matt became a respected producer, with releases on Perfecto Black, Bonzai Progressive, Balkan Connection, and Krafted Underground.

Supported by global icons like Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, and Guy J, his sound consistently resonates across the progressive community. His radio residencies on Frisky Radio and Proton Radio showcase his deep musical range to a worldwide audience. With fresh material in the pipeline, Matt Black continues to shape the progressive landscape with his evolving artistic vision.

COMET PREMIERES: Rockka - Summerslam (Matt Black Remix) [Brisbeats Records]

House of Azro Vol. 2 is a journey through the grooves that inspire me most. This project blends deep house warmth, classic house rhythms, and minimal textures into a smooth, driving flow built for late nights, long sets, and open-minded listeners. Each track carries its own atmosphere — from atmospheric pads to hypnotic drums — but together they shape the sound I’ve been crafting and evolving.

Turn it up, dive in, and let the rhythm guide you.
Feedback, reposts, and support are always appreciated.
More volumes coming soon.
