It’s Sunday, and we’re slowly approaching the last night of Monument 2026. Before the closing set, one of the more distinctive voices coming out of Japan’s underground techno scene enters Varden. OCCA has spent more than twenty years building his sound and community in Sapporo and Tokyo. That sound is now travelling all over the world, and this night it will journey through the forest in Veggli. «I didn’t plan my set in advance. Instead, I put a large selection of tracks I had in mind into a playlist. Once I arrived at the festival, I gradually shaped the set; enjoying the music, connecting with people, and taking in the nature and weather around me. I wanted to bring an energy that would feel powerful and danceable under the sunlight, while also incorporating something that would make people reflect on the time they had spent at the festival – as we moved towards the closing. I was unsure whether to play a track from a live recording featuring Suzanne Ciani performing with the Metropole Orkest, conducted by Simon Dobson. But when I saw how much the audience was yearning for the music, I felt confident enough to play it. I also can’t forget the scene when the low end of Pearson Sound’s “XLB (Allen Mock x Herbalistek Remix)” ran through the crowd like a tidal wave. When I left the booth, I was filled with joy and gratitude. Passing the baton from Feral, a longtime friend and an artist I deeply respect, to Efdemin, whom I have been a huge fan of since I first started DJing. I had dreamed of playing at Monument for a long time, so finally being able to stand there and play was a very special moment for me.» – OCCA (@oooccaaa) Listen to OCCA, Sunday night at Monument festival, out now on our SoundCloud.

After joining us at Monument Festival last year for a b2b with Beatrice M, Bambi now steps into the podcast series with a solo mix. “Starting with a meditative intro, the mix slowly moves through epic breaks into minimal, percussive and driving rhythms, getting deeper and more psychedelic along the way before opening into some pretty, trancey and dubby atmospheres. I had a lot of fun layering vocals and percussion throughout, letting little elements come and go and hopefully creating a sense of movement through the whole journey. It features many of the tracks I’ve been playing throughout this summer’s tour, including some from my set at FOLD x UTE in late August, while trying to channel the incredible experience I had at Monument last year and weave some of those memories into the mix. Hope you’ll feel that too :)” Follow : https://www.instagram.com/bambi___dj Tracklist : 1. APNI - apni (a desire) 2. Kangding Ray - Kote 3. Emika Elena - Nettaiya 4.

Based in Berlin, Phalcon has been quietly shaping a language that feels very much his own, moving through dub, percussion, broken rhythms and deeper electronic territories. This mix says a lot about the way he listens to music. Patient, curious and physical, with a strong sense of space and timing. As he describes it: “A ritualistic journey where tribal percussion moves through deep, dub-soaked landscapes.” https://soundcloud.com/phalconn https://www.instagram.com/phalcon__/

It’s Saturday and we’re crossing over from day to night. The set from 8pm—11pm is special because the sun goes to sleep behind the hills during this set, and we need a skilful navigator to help us with this transition. Behind the decks in Varden we find Andy Martin, Mexican-Jamaican electronic music producer and DJ. He is known for mixing sci-fi techno and dub elements with Latin Caribbean rhythms and native-inspired futuristic themes. Sounds like a fun way to start Saturday night. “I really loved my set time because it allowed me to transition from a more joyful daytime vibe into a deeper and more introspective mood as night arrived. The night brings a more subtle and intuitive experience. As darkness starts to fall, you can only perceive moving silhouettes on the dance floor, and everything becomes less visual and more about intuition, sound, and feeling. I was there for the whole festival, and I think it’s really worth staying for the entire experience. It allows you to understand how meaningful the festival is through the delicate curation of every single detail, the dedication of all the volunteers, and the amazing atmosphere created by everyone attending. It really feels like something special.” – Andy Martin (@andy-martin) Listen to Andy Martin, Saturday night at Monument festival, out now on our SoundCloud. Photo: Cle FW Photography
