Oh lord! what’s this trippy magnificence, please? @sunjuhargun

The recording from one of my favourite sets last year ~ Transcendence Festival in Japan 🌲🇯🇵

I’ve long been drawn to the deep, organic and electrifying techno of Japan–inextricably linked to open-air gatherings deep in the forest–so it was very special to play this set in the mystical woods of Nagano’s mountains.

I played after Japanese wizard OCCA @oooccaaa, from 11.30PM-2AM ~ descending into the night and far beyond ✧.*｡⋆

Deepest thanks to @takumiinamoto1994 and @djmaria-jp for the invitation to join this gathering of likeminded musical souls, I am very grateful to have shared this experience with friends old + new 🫶

Featuring music from Alan Backdrop, Toki Fuko, Jacques Adda, Nao Nhil, Huda, A Strange Wedding, Conceptual, GiGi FM, Kangding Ray, Zemog, Noise From Beyond, Danieli, Vardae +++

Hope you enjoy this psychedelic forest trip to outer space 🌲🌌🧚🌙

As the fog rolled over the Forgotten Valley, Ute collective co-founder Marius Bø was on duty to sound the Funktion-One alarm clock and open the final morning of Monument Festival 2024. Drawing the weary dancers back to the dance floor like some kind of magical rave pied piper, his musical siren call an entrancing three hour trip through ambient, electronica, and deep techno. An expert showcase in the art of delicately building momentum ✨

Travel through space and time with this gateway back to the forest today. 

Tickets for Monument Festival 2025 go on sale on November 20th - Mark your calendars - we hope to see you there.

Recording of OCCA's set at les Chaos Ambiants 2024 [Closing set]
Mastering by Ryosuke Tsuchiya

OCCA has been organising ARCHIV for over 10 years at the sacred club,  Precious Hall in Sapporo, located in the northernmost region of Japan, Hokkaido. With his own party ARCHIV at the core, he has been expanding his scope of activities from all over Japan to the rest of the world.

As an entity of singularity, he aims to transform time/space/spirit into unknown realms by arranging multifaceted elements such as the spiritualism of Psychedelic Music, the storytelling nature of House Music, the sci-fi dystopian feel of Detroit Techno and the trance of Minimal Music in a three-dimensional way through his deft mixing. His rare presence has been recognised and he has been invited to play at DJ NOBU's Future Terror, Mindgames' The Labyrinth/Balance, and in recent years, has been invited to parties in Asia, Spekki Webu's Mirror Zone 5 Years Tour in EU, System Revival and Georgia's prestigious Bassiani, his circle of resonance continues to spread out.

[Les Chaos Ambiants]

The Pauza association presents Les Chaos Ambiants, a festival dedicated to the encounter between electronic music, the visual arts and the rich heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté.

This event is designed on a small scale to make it as comfortable as possible to listen, meet and move around, with a single stage to promote emerging and established artists, a natural setting conducive to the discovery of musical works and artistic installations, and an eco-responsible approach to limit its environmental impact.

The project has several objectives : to promote the European and international artistic scene, to stimulate and strengthen the cultural and creative network across the département and the region ; to help promote and showcase the natural and cultural heritage of Burgundy-Franche-Comté ; to support local produce and the local economy.

Back in 2023 we were lucky enough to release an exceptional podcast from Timnah - our ears were hooked! We immediately felt the potential and knew that she would be the DJ to provide the perfect festival afternoon soundtrack to our beloved forest.

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon at Monument Festival 2024, and Timnah’s set completely surpassed our already high expectations. From the moment she started, it was clear this was going to be something special.

Starting slow and deep, setting the stage like the opening of an epic tale, Timnah’s set unfolded layer by layer, note by note like a cinematic sonic story told deep in the forest by a master storyteller, one that could have only been by Timnah herself.

Available now on our SoundCloud and YouTube channels or wherever you get your podcasts.

Jo Johnson’s explorations in sound have ranged from free-form punk with Huggy Bear in the 90s, to underground techno in the 00s, and, for the last decade, deeply expressive electronic minimalism that pays tribute to the many women who pioneered this genre. She has released with respected labels including Further Records and Mysteries of the Deep in the US and Frequency Domain and Castles in Space in the UK. Her latest project, Alterations, is a 'slow' album that she is recording and self-releasing track-by-track throughout 2025. 

For the fourth edition of Waves, Jo Johnson presents a mix of absolute celestial beauty, building delicately with deep and lush ambiance into a trip of interstellar melodies, this is the perfect way to start your week off right.

Monument Waves 004 : Jo Johnson

Sarah Wreath has spent years moving through different corners of electronic music, sharpening her craft in deliberate yet effortless ways. Ambient, sound baths, live sets, techno, halftime—she doesn’t just dabble; she inhabits these spaces fully, shaping them with a deep understanding of sound and rhythm. Her range is what sets her apart, allowing her to move between intimate, meditative settings and full-throttle dance floors without missing a step.

Last year was a big one. Her debut album on The Bunker NY hit the right people in the right way, opening doors that led to a standout set at The Bunker party in Brooklyn alongside Nobu, Patrick Russell, and Doltz, a tour through Japan, and a string of upcoming EPs—including one for the legendary Sandwell District, set to drop in just a few weeks.

This time last year, we featured Sarah in our Sundays Are For… series with a beautifully haunting set. Today, she flips the perspective. Her Delayed with… mix isn’t just about atmosphere—it’s about movement. The sound is weighty but fluid, shifting between tightly wound rhythms and wide-open space. There’s a physicality to it, driven by thick, rolling low-end and textures that hover between sharp and submerged. It’s techno built for full immersion, the kind that keeps pulling you in without ever demanding too much.

Sarah Wreath is one of those artists who make techno feel limitless. And if this mix is any indication, she’s only just getting started.
