trippy groovy techhouse, ambient , electro, techno & leftfield, vol. 11

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

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

Obscure Series: Paragon

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!!!

Electronic Convergence - Verdant Session 04 - Dec 23

For our 23rd installment, it's with great excitement that we welcome Georgian and Berlin-based artist Irakli, one of the finest selectors of the German capital and founder of the infamous STAUB techno parties.

Irakli embarks us here on a journey to a space that defies time and logic, where reality blurs between past, future, and the unknown. This mix is a surreal soundtrack to an imaginary voyage where nothing is as it seems. Is it a futuristic game or a dream from another universe?

Conscious Listening Mix Series - 23 - Irakli

This week on “Delayed with…”, we’re featuring matsssiii, a Zurich-based DJ and one of the core members of the Project Indigo collective and label. Project Indigo isn’t just another name in the scene—it’s a group we’ve grown to know and respect, built on shared nights (and days) on the dancefloor and a commitment to music that prioritizes feeling and quality over fleeting trends.
matsssiii’s mix has a rare versatility, fitting seamlessly into all kinds of settings. It’s deep and well-paced, with a lightness that never drifts into the shallow. Somehow, it strikes that perfect balance—grounded yet weightless, soothing yet never dull. Whether zoning in on a task or gazing at a sunset, this mix feels like it was made for the moment.
The music unfolds like a quiet narrative, with grooves that pull you in and atmospheric layers that let your mind wander. The rhythms feel tactile and earthy, while the melodies have a spacious, dreamlike quality that’s hard to pin down. It’s the kind of sound that doesn’t just accompany your day—it subtly transforms it.
At Delayed, this is exactly what we look for: music that lingers in your mind, carrying its energy well beyond the final track. It’s a deep, dubby house that feels timeless—not because it’s chasing permanence, but because it’s rooted in something genuine.

A live recording of Steve Good opening the final day at The Labyrinth 2019. This was the Typhoon Hagabis year, an event that began and ended with storms, with a sunny respite in between. This set represented a moment of calm before the storms returned on that special weekend which we will never forget.

The Labyrinth 2019 - Steve Good

Avsluta (Lucie Stepankova) moves with quiet precision, tracing the lines between ambient stillness and rhythmic motion. As a London-based sound artist, DJ, live performer, and curator, she explores the spaces where sound lingers and transforms.

Her set at Mostra Festival 2023 left a lasting impression. A seamless journey through moods and tempos, carried with effortless elegance. It felt only right to invite her to Unrush, and now here we are finally.

For this mix, Lucie dives into deeper ambient landscapes, showing the same thoughtful sensitivity that shapes her work. Over the past decade, Lucie has refined her musical voice behind the counter at Phonica Records, guiding London’s ambient and downtempo seekers most Saturdays, building connections, sharing music, and fostering community along the way.

She’s the founder of Introspective Electronics, a platform for radio shows, guest mixes, and listening events. Together with producer and DJ Alicia, she also curates Terra Obscura, an intimate club night series devoted to slower, introspective sounds.

This DJ set holds that same spirit: a quiet invitation to slow down and listen...
