An artist’s dedication to their craft is usually what separates the wheat from the chaff, and our next guest is a perfect example of this. Mary Yuzovskaya made a name for herself in the mid-2000s by showcasing a deep passion for vinyl, with her razor-sharp precision mixing resonating throughout Berlin and beyond. Since then she has come a long way, relocating to New York where she started her own Monday Off imprint and podcast to showcase the poignant psychedelia inherent to her musical world. Here she showcases the more intimate corners of her collection with the same care and attention to detail that she is known for. Perfect for riding out the last of the cold days as we wait for Spring’s warm embrace.

074 - Unrushed by Mary Yuzovskaya

After 4 years I am back with the sequel to 22 Rhythm. Two hours of unreleased music from the past years. Plenty tracks in here are planned for release, so stay tuned.

I hope you enjoy listening just as much as I enjoyed the process of creating. As life evolves, so does my sonic interpretation of her cadence. Different from the past; different from the future.

S Ruston @ Fossil Archive Presents @ TGTF - Sun 9th Feb 2025

DJ Sodeyama’s been around since the 90s, a Tokyo-based whizz and DJ’s DJ, whose career has offered the type of sound many selectors would envy. It’s incredibly sharp, meandering along its intelligent thread in unexpected and high-minded ways. Since the early noughties he could add producer to his soubriquet too, flexing his minimal muscle with early releases, a steady stream of ensuing ventures further cementing his craft via Korean-based deep techno distributor Artscope, Dynamic Reflection, illegal alien, Daybreak and many more. He’s also explored adjacent genres and ventured into the world of house under his parallel alias The People In Fog. Pretty full plate, but the quality of his sound has suffered nothing for it. His techno is an expert tapestry of interlaced details and lingering moods, injected with raw feeling and undeniable skill. It darts from peak to peak, fusing frequencies riddled with forward-pitched elements and vivid effects, and forges a long-range feeling that abuts the realm of both man and machine. Thick and volatile techno that serves as proof that the genre can keep expanding outwards in fresh and surprising ways. Bassiani Podcast 260 moves the needle further, it's quintessential Sodeyama: vivid climbs and steep descents, warped vocal samples, brave and unbending beats for prime-time raving.

Bassiani invites DJ Sodeyama / Podcast #260

Monday Off is a vinyl-only psychedelic techno label founded by Mary Yuzovskaya. Known for its mind bending, boundary pushing releases, the label has recently featured the likes of ORBE, JUDAΣ, Mike Parker, CONCEPTUAL, Viels, D-Leria, Blazej Malinowski, Michal Wolski, Xhato, Milena Glowaka and of course Mary herself, plus many many more. A label that ignores fleeting trends and consistently delivers high quality timeless records. 

The mix was of course recorded in all vinyl one take session, where you can expect to hear the kind of heads down techno the label is synonymous for: deep, cerebral and mind-melting - a dedication to authentic, thought-provoking electronic music that transcends the ordinary. This July the label celebrates its 8th anniversary - turn this up extra loud to celebrate.

Can’t get enough? Catch Mary Yuzovskaya playing at Monument Festival 2025 in just a few short weeks.

Monkeytown Podcast #006 w/ @fadimohem

Fadi Mohem’s versatile and adventurous approach allow for constant forward momentum and a truly refreshing energy on the dancefloor. His Monkeytown Podcast proves just that - it is gripping at every turn with the energy and flare he puts into his sets and productions. The selection emphasizes his deep affinity with old school dub and Detroit techno - it starts at lower tempos with tracks that usually you won’t get to hear on a club night at peak time; then it gradually increases the pace from there going some way to demonstrate his capabilities when at the helm of the party.
