Labyrinth

As @rrose1921, Seth Horvitz explores techno’s deep, psychedelic veins. The Californian artist’s latest album, ‘Please Touch’, expands on the ecological aura that’s coursed through their recent output. 

Alongside a mix of ‘90s tracks to celebrate 30 years of DJing, he speaks to Liam Cagney about creation as an act of discovery, the influence of microtonal composers, performing in drag, and the dancefloor's taste for ever-faster techno

Tracklist & interview

On Cue: Rrose

Occa  is a DJ and promoter from the northernmost region of Japan, Hokkaido. Occa has been organizing his own party ARCHIV at the sacred club, Precious Hall for over 10 years. Musically he combines 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. He has been invited to play at institutions such as DJ NOBU's Future Terror, Mindgames' The Labyrinth/Balance, Spekki Webu's Mirror Zone 5 Years Tour in EU, System Revival and Georgia's legendary Bassiani.

This mix is inspired by his Sci-Fi Shamanism set recorded at the Transcendence 2024 ceremony, held deep in the forests of Japan. Expect an absolutely mind altering journey of pounding tribal drums, haunted drones and ethereal melodies delicately sprinkled throughout. Quite the trip if we say so ourselves. 

Mastering by Chris Scholz/ Spekki Webu

LF58 is the collaborative consciousness of techno maestro Neel and sonic explorer Filippo Scorcucchi. Initially beginning the project with a blissful release on Auxiliary, the duo has since gone on to release three legendary albums on Astral Industries. The modular synth masters are revered for their ability to sculpt sound into expansive, architectural forms, building entire worlds from celestial drones and intricate textures.

This mix is music for the deep cosmos of the mind; an ambient transmission designed to dissolve time and space. Patient and deep, the set serves as a soundtrack for drifting through the quiet solitude of space, floating in a sonic vessel built by two masters of atmosphere.

Monument Waves 006 : LF58

«The Japanese artist OCCA embodies that spirit with his solid trajectory, and his set at Mostra 2025 was perhaps the best example of how an electronic journey can be as original as it is absorbing, as nuanced and layered as it is genre-defying. Tracks unfolded with a sensitivity that challenged the very logic of convention.»

«El artista japonés OCCA encarna este espíritu con su sólida trayectoria, y su set en la edición de Mostra de este 2025 es, posiblemente, el mejor ejemplo de cómo se conjuga un viaje electrónico tan original como absorbente, tan sugerente como lleno de matices y géneros electrónicos, con tracks y una sensibilidad musical que desafían la lógica de lo convencional.»
