Gone With WINDAND C - Episode 055

Andhera', darkness in sanskrit.⁠
⁠
Where there's darkness, we will find light.⁠
⁠
With every Full Moon or solar eclips I will present a new artist which I highly admire, respect and who embraces the same dark, ambient and hypnotic techno sounds like me.⁠
⁠
The Full Moon is a time of blossom and highlights.⁠
The Full Moon equals the spiritual and energetic culmination. ⁠
When the Full Moon has passed, the waning moon phase begins. ⁠
This is the time to let go what no longer serves you. ⁠
⁠
This week we had a full moon in the communicative sign Gemini.
⁠
This causes your brain to seem to work at record speed around this full moon. You are overflowing with good ideas and you can suddenly find the solution to things that have been dormant in your mind for a long time.

This full moon places a special emphasis on the subject of communication. Are there complicated conversations that need to be had? Misunderstandings that need to be cleared up? Chances are that now you will be able to find the right words to put into words that issue with your family member, neighbor, friend or colleague.

In addition, this full Moon could just cause a lot of fatigue. Gemini is a sign that constantly seeks mental stimulation. It is curious, inquisitive and fond of social occasions. This can make the energy around the full moon quite exhausting. Seek out others when you feel the need and go on adventures if you feel that's what you want, but it doesn't have to be. Retreating, relaxing and taking rest is just as important.

New Year’s Eve is here and in honour of the occasion, we’re forgoing our characteristically downtempo Sunday Mix for a special weekend instalment of our flagship series, with Max Cooper at the controls. Bookmark this one for whatever you have in store for this evening – or any other occasion, of course.

In his own words, the innovation-driven producer and visual artist opts for a “psychedelic techno adventure” featuring tracks from JakoJako, Barker, Oliver Coates, Rival Consoles, ANNĒ and Venetian Snares. “Lots of melodies and beautiful feelings to get lost in," Cooper begins, "but also lots of unexpected turns and mind-mangling soundworlds, and plenty of genre-hopping so you never quite know what's around the next corner."

Kicking off our Live from Dimensions 23' series with a fiery mix from Cartulis' @unai-trotti. This spine-tingling 2-hour recording takes us straight back to Saturday evening at Cosmos, Unai taking the reigns from Raphael Carrau and guiding us into the night with a signature blend of techno, electro, breaks and more. 

This is a first of many live recordings from the summer that we look forward to sharing in the new year.

Revelation of Sounds is pleased to present Gëinst. With the wish of being a multiple artist staying under a single name, Gëinst keeps doing his musical journey while visiting a wide range of electronic music.

From his own production or selection, he still wants to demonstrate how different music environments could be connected to each other. 

According to his words, this podcast appears as a cozy interpretation of winter.

Thought as a smooth travel, it can drives you from a cottony coach listening session to a drilled voodoo dancefloor.

A particular taste for melodies and organic textures mixed with rough synthetic elements, Gëinst wants to propose a trippy vision of the deepside. 

Bright and blurry combination defined his melancholic state of mind.

Please enjoy this beautiful journey, final for 2023.

Release date: December 21,2023.

A few words from the artist:

1/ How would you describe your personal connection to music and how it influences your creative process?

Music is my life; it's the only field I've ever worked in. I've had a deep emotional connection with music since my teenage New Wave years. When I'm plugged into music, my brain is full on —not just as a DJ or remixer but also as an A&R.

Managing three music labels and a publishing company means I get creative on various levels. It's not just about my personal expression, but also about finding ways to share music with the world and nurture the growth of younger artists.


2/ As an artist, how do you see the intersection between fashion and music? 

It's boundary-less nowadays; art, fashion, and music are all intricately woven together. Younger generation's versatility with tools like Blender and Ableton, not to mention their ability to delve into art and even create their own fashion changed the rules The influence of social media has further blurred the lines. Now, everyone is their own stylist, and artists have become both talents and faces of brands.
I've always linked music to fashion. 


3/ What particularly interested you in collaborating with Études to make this mix? 

I wear Etudes every day and I listen to music every day, so it just made sense to me.
I’ve been a longtime fan of the brand, especially the bombers. I also like the collabs and the themes around the city. 


4/ How did you curate this musical sequence/audio journey? 

As Etudes' recent collections are heavily centered around the urban landscape, I aimed to create something that resonates with the city vibe. During my travels in Asia, while curating the music selection, the idea struck me to craft a mixtape perfect for driving. Simultaneously, I envisioned it as a fitting soundtrack for a video game.
The mix carries a strong influence from 90s prog house. While journeying and partying across Asia, memories of playing Wipeout in the 90s flooded my mind. The game, set in a futuristic city, mirrored the adolescent idea we had of Asia MEGAPOLE  while playing.
 
 
5/ Three words to define your mix for Études?
 
Journey, Joyful, Trippy

Alex Picone is a man who's seen many trends come and go and is now existing in a space outside of them; without a doubt occupying a unique spot in the dance music landscape. 

Primarily known these days as one of the co-founders of Seekers and Small Black Dots, with an extensive discography behind him and having put his hand to numerous other projects, there's a maturity to both his production and DJing that's rarely seen in tandem.

This propulsive, two-hour mix blurs the lines between the two; laden with Alex's own productions, the singularity of his artistic vision and depth of his record bag is on full display.

Must've Been Music

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 🖤

O’Flynn - Essential Mix 2024-01-06

Not only is @theokottis joining our podcast series this week, but early next month he will join the label family too. His new Lighthouse EP is a perfect encapsulation of the Scotsman's style - house, techno and electro fusions with a knowing nod to the 90s and plenty of both physical and emotional impact. It's his first work since a "self-imposed creative reset" and comes after previous outings on the likes of Permanent Vacation and DGTL that have established the Space Dust label and party founder as someone who is as effective as he is unpretentious whether making or playing records.

His mix for us is inspired by recent gigs and is made up of tracks that were particularly well-received by the crowds. It's two hours of slick selections cross the house, techno and electro spectrum so, says Theo, "there's something for everyone to dance their way into 2024." And he's not wrong: this is exactly the sort of impossibly groovy soundtrack you want to warm you up and get you going with just the right balance between head and heel.
