Todays Monument Recording comes from this summers Midgar x Useless Seconds party in Berlin.

DK's session was captured at the event following his recent release on Midgar fulfilling a debut at the label showcase event.

On the day he played the second slot of the afternoon after Lilli Zykla's ambient opening,  gently shifting towards left field territories covered in drums at a downtempo pace.

MNMT Recordings : Đ.K @ Midgar x Useless Seconds - Berlin July 2025

The twentieth. This week's submission sees London based music head Passaat join the channel. Best known for encapsulating audiences at Above Below, an intimate, nourishing, underground festival set in the Chiltern Hills. His repertoire spans varying shades of techno, but he has been known to curate ambient sets that could inspire introspection in the hardest of hard-heads. 

The mix itself sees the Out Of Focus brief well and truly met. Ambience, atmosphere, aura. Long, velvety blends allow the mix to flow and seam, like clouds on a clear day. Subtleties are introduced throughout as the pace builds before granting us a moment of tranquility. It is moments of stillness like these that should be cherished. Moments where we can ascend, only to be escorted through the final section still clutching the cloud we ride upon, as it vanishes before our very eyes.

This set was recorded at Mostra Festival in April – a beautiful four-day experimental music festival in the heart of Barcelona, and my first Europe show of the year! I had the opportunity to bridge the gap between Ena’s incredible live ambient set and Timnah & Mario (Hybrid)’s deep techno set.

I themed my set around spiralling synths, beginning the journey with broken beats and moving through half-time into 170 BPM, while maintaining a sense of hypnotic groove throughout. 

The crowd and energy in the room were magnetic – they were with me every step of the way. It was such a beautiful experience and definitely a highlight of my year. Huge thanks to the amazing team at Mostra!! :)

Hello :) I’m Zara and I’m originally from so-called Australia, but I’ve been living in London since April.

I’m finishing up my last EU/UK gigs for the year this week, and then I’m sooo excited to head to Japan and Korea for a mini tour – still pinching myself that I get to play there!

𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨/𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨?
I’ve been DJing for about seven years and producing for around five.

XLB by Pearson Sound completely rewired my brain and pulled me into the subterranean world.

They Feel, They Know by SHIVARASA.
I first heard it during a yoga class while I was recovering from a back injury that made daily life difficult and it really stayed with me. It reminded me of the value of stillness and the beauty of inner peace - especially as the weather turns colder and the state of the world feels increasingly bleak.

So many… but festivals like Waking Life, Monument, Parallel, and Organik really inspire me for their beautiful locations and community-focused approach. For clubs, I’ve always dreamed of playing at Bassiani, Club Raum, Ankali, and Oil.

𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘱?
Again, so many!! I have so many artists I admire, so let’s say the dream lineup would be a festival in nature taking place over a couple of days :D

Donato Dozzy, Mama Snake, Timnah, OK Williams, Objekt, Woody92, Sybil, A Strange Wedding (live), Ema, Hysterical Love Project (live), Livwutang, James K (live), Konduku, Polygonia (live), Marco Shuttle b2b Jane Fitz, CCL, Djrum, Temple Rat (live), Upsammy, Harold, Tangerine, Kia and garçon - the list could go on haha, too many to name!

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘑𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘴?
The dance floor is your greatest teacher, community your strongest ally, and fear of failure your greatest enemy.

If you’re able to, get out, dance, and soak in as much diverse music as you can. I’ve learned so much from watching how people respond to certain moments and from the energy of the room itself. I take inspiration from different elements within tracks and from how I feel and move when I hear certain sounds.

Being in clubs or music spaces also helps cultivate a sense of community. By genuinely supporting artists, collectives, and venues, we can help the underground not just survive but thrive. And most importantly, the dance floor is the best place to meet like-minded people – some of my closest friends are those I met through a shared love of music <3

Nous'klaer Radio #41 - Zara (Live at Mostra 2025)

Step aboard Owl’s intergalactic vessel and drift through the eerie beauty of the cosmic void, where particles of sound float freely - weightless and untamed. They begin to spiral toward one another, forming a swirling horde that grows stronger with every pulse. From their majestic collisions, new worlds emerge - each beat a planet, each drop a creation.

Belgium‑based artist and sound‑sculptor Pierre Nesi performs under the moniker Owl, crafting immersive deep‑space soundscapes where rhythm and atmosphere collide. With roots in drum & bass and ambient textures, his music invites listeners into orbit around pulsating atmospheres and emergent worlds. First spotted on Nord Label, and more recently appearing on Silent Season, Lowless, Huinali, Stasis, DNO, re:st and Muzan Editions, Owl’s subtle but distinct sonic journeys continue to evolve. His discography spans autonomic DnB, dreamy melancholy ambient, and genre‑bending leftfield explorations, further cementing his reputation as a master of sonic depth and expressiveness.

What we get to hear during this one hour of “Dynamic Spheres” is nothing less than a cosmic ritual. Taken from ambient worlds of divine purity the mix gradually builds up into deep and hypnotic breakbeats, which oscillate flawlessly between a spacey trippyness and more tribalistic streams. This is not a journey forward or back, but through: a descent into weightless space where halftime meets progression, and silence becomes motion.

Dynamic Spheres #033 - Owl

Continuum: a coherent whole characterised as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or elements varying by minute degrees.

Some magical moments are impossible to capture. I am sure you have been there before: you try to explain, to put words on it, but the energy, the essence, just doesn't come through. Even the sharpest pens or the most eloquent talkers, are sometimes lost for words on those instants when everything clicks, when everything is in harmony. 

I've had the pleasure of meeting someone who has the power to convey those moments, distill their essence, and turn them into sound (and lately, also into images). Those who had the pleasure of meeting Ameeva, will know what I am talking about. He composes with emotion, shares sound that is full of passion and has a unique sense of feeling. Coming fresh from a performance at Casa Montjuic in partnership with Mostra, he is no stranger to those that love the most atmospheric ambient sounds. Head to his Bandcamp for a sample of how his music manages to touch the most feral and deep of emotions. 

The moment he captured for you, and all of us, happened some months ago on the outskirts of Madrid. And for me, it was an eye opener. A bunch of friends, many of us recently met, sharing food and drinks. Just a night of classic spanish "sobremesa", gone a bit out of hand. At that point, Alex and some others have a simple idea and ask if we can move the soundsystem to the garden, set up the hammocks outside, connect the Digitakt, and do a live set under the stars. Bear in mind, it is 2am. 

If you are with a group of people that asks these types of questions, and the answer is yes, you are in the right place, with the right ones. 

The rest of what happened, is here for you to listen to. 

Thank you Alex. This is it. This is why we do this.

Dubwise atmospherics flood Guy Brewer's third RA Mix.

Hear the word "Dionysus" and you picture the Greek god of ecstasy: overflowing tables, delirious revelry, chaos. Not the austere soundworld of Guy Brewer, AKA Carrier. On the surface, the UK artist's latest alias feels almost Spartan. But look closer and the Dionysian link starts to show:  it's about shedding fixed forms and identities, to allow something more true, more alive, to form. 

RA.1011 marks Brewer's third entry in the RA Mix series, following editions as drum & bass outfit Commix (RA.269) and, later, the techno alias Shifted (RA.310). "I guess it's an effort to step away from purism," Brewer told <i>Resident Advisor</i> back in 2023. "Right now the thresholds between genres are where you find the most exciting music." 

Carrier's phenomenal debut album, <i>Rhythm Immortal</i>, delivers on that promise. Low-end pressure cloaks like foreboding shadows, punctured only by eerie, otherworldly percussion comparable only to Photek or T++. Listen to the LP in full and it feels like walking through a scene in a true-crime drama: a fog-drenched city street in the deep of night, ambushed by gusts of wind, whispers and strange noises—and it sounds totally, utterly original.

Tracing a line through dub pressure, fractured percussion and narcotic ambience, Brewer explores that same world on RA.1011. As with the album, there's a primal pulse that threads through the recording. Walls of negative space seem to hover before dissolving inexplicably, their tension intact; drums move more like the weather than rhythm. - Bella Aquilina

Introducing a deeply soothing Unrush mix from DOC - a producer, live act, and founder of Selene Series, whose sound I've been exploring since a friend connected us at this year's Mostra Festival.

For this mix, he delivers something truly special: a warm, comforting sound blanket which spans over almost 3 hours. Moving away from the more experimental edges he often explores, DOC has crafted a mix that feels like a gentle, unhurried stroll.

In his own words:

"Not every mix needs to be ‘a journey’. This mix is a stroll.

A stroll around that feeling of warmth, of tranquility, of comfort. A walk in circles around different iterations of beautiful music to soothe your senses. Because sometimes, the act of walking is the destination in itself. And when we are not going anywhere, just being for the sake of being, there is no rush. We are unrushed."

So, find a moment, let it play in the background, and get lost in the stroll...

Thanks a lot to https://soundcloud.com/seleneseries

102 - Unrushed by DOC

Sub-breath murmurs through shifting structures, where rhythm dissolves in a fog of echoes and reflections. Fusing ambient layers where the air vibrates with soft pulses and deep frequencies, maintaining a balance between clarity and dissolution.

Andriy K. (@andriy_k) is a Kyiv-based producer and DJ, now living in Berlin. His practice explores sound as a form of self-awareness: from deep ambient states to hybrid techno sets where empathy meets machine logic. His performances intertwine therapeutic vibrations and the exploration of mental artifacts, a dialogue through cold clarity of rhythm.

Non Identity pursues a unique style that adds a lyrical and emotional atmosphere to rhythmic and groovy electronic sounds. He seeks to create a more special performance through the contrast between lyrical and passionate moods.

Non Identity 는 리드미컬하고 그루브한 일렉트로닉 사운드에 서정적이고 감성적인 분위기를 더하는 독특한 스타일을 추구한다. 서정성과 격정적인 분위기의 대비를 통해 더욱 특별한 퍼포먼스를 만들고자 한다.

This EP unfolds like the anatomy of a plant: each track embodies a vital element or process, contributing to the delicate balance that sustains life. The path here is more defined, mirroring the structured yet organic rhythm of growth. Roots, sap, leaves, respiration—each component resonates as a metaphor for connection and interdependence, reminding us that nothing in nature exists in isolation. Through sound, we trace the invisible threads that bind these elements together, evoking both fragility and resilience, silence and expansion. 

Piante Vive is not just a reflection on the plant world, but on our own need for grounding, transformation, and symbiosis.
