Monument Podcast

Means&3rd aka Ben Marsden joins us for episode 469 with an extensive session covering over 2 hours worth of techno territory. The Manchester based artist can be found behind the counter at the legendary Eastern Bloc Records where he fronts the house and techno curation for the shop. He has leveraged his exposure to the latest sounds there to promote his own Unveiled Nuance events and label as well as securing performances at events throughout the country. Some words from Ben - "I aimed to create something that reflects where I am sonically right now. The aesthetic of the deeper sound has expanded so much lately, touching on all sorts of BPM's and vibes, and I've really been loving every bit of it. This music requires some patience and a commitment to fully appreciate it, which is one of the reasons it continues to captivate me so much. I also wanted to give a huge shout-out to all the incredible artists featured in this mix; there's so much amazing music out there right now., and a massive thank you to the Monument team as well—I'm genuinely grateful for this opportunity " Follow : Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/means3rd Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/means_3rd/ Labels Bandcamp - https://means3rd.bandcamp.com/ Monument x Carbon Carbon is a new music platform designed by and for fans of electronic music.

There is a big black heart in Barcelona that it is still beating. Three weeks later, we’re still digesting the magic that was the fourth edition of Mostra festival. From the most intimate listening moments to collective catharsis on the dancefloor, this year was something else. Starting from the end this year, we’re proud to present the recorded closing set from Mostra's resident ABSIS, who delivered a deeply emotional finale that distilled everything Mostra stands for: a blend of force, finesse, energy and passion — all woven into one. Across four editions, countless moments, different days and stages, ABSIS has always been there: reading the different dance floors, adapting, connecting the dots between sound and feelings. Being a resident is more than just playing; it’s embodying the festival’s pulse, giving it identity and continuity, and raising the collective experience to another level. If you’ve journeyed with Mostra through the years, you know how central ABSIS (alongside Timnah and Patrick Russell) has been to shaping that Mostra spirit. If you haven’t yet, you may find the chance next year. And now, for the first time: ABSIS closing the festival. A powerful tribute to what it means to support the local scene, not just by listing names from the city, but by creating moments like this one that matters.

Menal Batti is a DJ and resident at the infamous filtr parties in Brno. With a profound passion for 90s techno, Menal Batti seamlessly blends forgotten deep cuts with the freshest contemporary sounds, all while intertwining her Kurdish heritage into her musical narrative, drawing inspiration from her father's saz—a traditional instrument symbolizing her cultural roots. “The intent behind this mix was to create something close to the chest that unfolds quietly. It moves with weight and tenderness, guided by feelings of tension, spaciousness and I would say even a trace of mysticism. I’m personally drawn to opposites and like to juxtapose softness and pressure, clarity and haze, ultimately enabling for my music to inhabit those in-betweens. For me, it's not about reaching a peak, but about shaping a space or perhaps even a void you can disappear into.” Follow soundcloud.com/menal_batti https://www.instagram.com/menal_batti/ Monument x Carbon Carbon is a new music platform designed by and for fans of electronic music.
