NTS Radio: GIGI FM PRESENTS VOICES FROM THE LAKE MARCH 2024

At Varden, the fusion of nature and music becomes reality, and Detroit-based artist Erika made it her playground. The Monument Family moved as one, a sea of smiling faces and dancing bodies flowing in sync, like waves in an ocean. Carried by her deep, hypnotic, and atmospheric sounds.

Dancers look on with childlike awe at the projections on the surrounding trees around Varden, painted by light in all of the colors of the rainbow. Smoke is suddenly coming in from the side, taking the shape of fog you can see over water sometimes. Time moved in slow motion, and all that could penetrate the fog was laser beams. It felt like being inside a lightning storm in a cloud. The ultimate synaesthesia vortex unfolding right before our eyes.  

Erika’s music felt alive, creating moments where the boundaries between nature, technology, and human connection blurred. As if the trees Varden was built with helped her to fine-tune the sound. Those who danced that night weren’t just hearing techno, they became one with it under the stars.

Tune in now for Erika’s set closing the Varden stage on Saturday night of Monument Festival 2024.

We have just under 500 tickets left for Monument Festival 2025. Secure the ones you need now.

Monument Festival 2024 : Erika

79번째 벌트 팟캐스트는 앱스트랙 테크노의 경계를 넘어 강한 음향적 색채의 리듬과 텍스처로 댄스 플로어에 활력을 불어넣는 스웨덴 듀오 SHXCXCHCXSH의 80분 세트와 함께 합니다. 

“테크노, 아방가르드 같은 비현실적인 용어의 경계를 넘나드는 SHXCXCHCXSH는 지난 10년간 드라마틱함 보다는 음악적이고 음향적인 기교를 쌓아왔다. 숭배와 도피 모두에서 벗어난 이들의 음악은 살아 있고자 하는 원초적인 충동을 구현하며, 정반대의 매력을 지닌 이들의 공연은 댄스 플로어의 핵심을 해체하여 소비자가 추구하고 즐기는 모든 것을 끊임없이 파괴하고 다시 창조한다.”

The 79th episode of vurt podcast features an 80-minute set from SHXCXCHCXSH, the Swedish duo who pushes the boundaries of abstract techno, of sonic rhythms and textures and what they can do to a dancefloor.

"While borderlining the loupe of impractical terms, such as techno or avantgarde, the Swedish duo has for the past decade built a reputation for their sonic finess rather than clear dramaturgy.
Away from idolatry and escapism their music embodies a primitive urge to be alive.
Opposites attract and within that framework their performance continues to be a four leafed clover in contemporary club environments worldwide. By deconstructing the core of tomorrows dance floors SHXCXCHCXSH continually manage to create and destroy everything the consumer seek and enjoy. Where context is nothing impression is everything and the beholder remains in center."

Ciao tutti 💖
So happy to share the recording from my last set at Open Ground from December 2024. 

It was an emotional journey ~ I wanted to tell a story of diving into underwater dream lands, where spirit guides and glitchy creatures meet and send us messages from the other side... where sound takes over the brain and opens something in the heart and body.
I waved through many genres ~ ambient, jungle, electro, dubstep, drill, jazz, techno and the wonky in-between. It felt like I had the chance to express a fuller spectrum of who I am as a music lover. 🙏

That night, I had the honour of opening for the legend Surgeon ~ someone who’s deeply inspired my path since the very beginning. Sharing that moment with him and connecting was just wow. 🥹

Open Ground truly is one of the most special places on earth ~ the care, the sound, the freedom, the community, the crew… just perfection. 

So grateful to be invited back this saturday ! (26.07.2025) 
Don’t skip ~ come sweat and feel with us 🌀💎💦

Next up in our mix series is Atsushi Maeda - a cornerstone of Japan’s underground scene and one of the minds behind ‘rural festival’ and ‘428.soundwave’ in Thailand. With over a decade of dedication to deep, immersive techno, Atsushi has shaped not only dancefloors but the cultural landscape surrounding them, both in Tokyo and across the globe. Whether in Tokyo’s intimate clubs or on international stages, his sets are marked by precision, patience, and a mind-expanding musical narrative.

This mix is a live recording from rural 2025, capturing Atsushi in his right element: outdoors, surrounded by nature, guiding a devoted crowd into uncharted sonic terrain. Nestled between Erika and Oscar Mulero, starting at midnight, Atsushi weaved a dense and precise tapestry of hypnotic peak time techno. Focused yet expansive, it’s a set that embodies the Rural spirit.
