Samuel　

Samuel, born in Amsterdam, but currently based in Antwerp has been involved in the techno scene for several years. The Dutch DJ joined Monument first as a writer in 2017, which he was eager to do due to his increased passion for techno and ambient music over the years. Not much later he also picked up the mantle of MNMT’s head of podcast. Sam performed his very first DJ gig In June of 2019 at MNMT Festival, with a 2-hour melancholic ambient mix as the opening of the final day of the festival, to which he was overwhelmed with all the positive feedback. This gig motivated him to focus more and more on his development as a DJ. Having been involved with the scene for several years, Sam is focussing more and more on his own DJing and is honoured to have been invited to make Undulate’s first podcast mix

Tatsuoki (Broad/JP)

He started his DJ career in April 2011. He considers his music as an object in three dimensions. He always has his own logical thinking and emphasizes deep sounds includes Techno. He plays quality genre-less music which is the best match with the dance floor and his play style gets evaluation. Today he became one of the most promising DJs in the scene. Tatsuoki launched his own party Broad at Daikanyama AIR in November 2012 which is regularly held at Contact today, and it has been successful every time with the style of welcoming artists from diverse fields, from domestic to international.
Tatsuoki released his podcast from Dino Sabatini’s Outis Music in Italy in March 2016, and also from Vitamin Cubes in Eastern Europe Georgia in 2017. He is continuously showing his further success.

子供の頃は田園地帯で生まれ育ち、上京後の2011年4月より現場でのDJをスタートさせる。音楽を三次元に在る1つの物体として捉え、彼独自の論理的な思考を常に持ち、フロアを読みながら最適なチューニングを心掛ける。さらにその中で自由奔放さを大いに出してくるプレイスタイルは定評があり、今後期待されるDJの1人だ。2012年11月に代官山AIRでスタートした彼が主宰を手掛けるBroadは、現在もContactにて開催を続けており、海外と国内の多方面からアーティストを迎える雑食スタイルで毎回盛況を得ている。
2016年3月にDino Sabatini主宰イタリアのOutis Musicを皮切りに、2017年に東欧ジョージア、2018年はドイツと韓国からPodcastをリリースし、更には現地でプレイもする等の活躍を見せている。

IORI
(semantica/bitta/JP)

Hailing from Okinawa, now-Tokyo-based producer IORI once cut his teeth as an assistant for David Mancuso’s revered party, The Loft, in New York City, where he learnt a meticulous sonic mentality from his audiophile mentor. This permeates his carefully-handled arrangements, which have helped make his name and define a series of spacey, atmospheric originals and remixes for proponent imprints like Phonica and Prologue to name but a few.
Since his striking 2009 debut, Galaxy, which took its cue from Basic Channel and Manuel Gottsching, the Japanese producer has developed an immensely expressive dubbed-out sound in his own right. The first culmination of that is 2012’s excellent
Nexus album for Bitta, a label owned by Far Eastern rising star DJ Nobu, seeing his ambient productions sit nicely with his hypnotic dance tunes.
Two year stay in Berlin in early 2010s helped IORI gain a foothold in the international stage. He has since traveled across Europe, validating his characteristic meditative techno set, which is just the tip of his huge musical iceberg that ranges from low-slung house to leftfield oddballs. Despite his return to Japan in 2015, his presence remains strongly felt through frequent European tours.
2016 saw IORI release the Cold Radiance album, where his sci-fi ambient side grew fully- fledged. For an artist that has produced immersive and spacious pieces, it was a logical continuation of his extensive career as a producer. Eschewing the club-orientated perspective, it certainly proved IORI’s expressional depth and does justice to his artistic intention, his acute ears for spellbinding details standing out in sharp relief, which raised expectations of his promising future.
