Monument Podcast

Moving through genres and treading the lines between headsy, dancey, introspective yet energetic. Different Shades attempts to capture fragments of sonic energy from various dance floors that moved them this past summer.

In their words: “this ones for the speaker freakers (Wark, 2023) out there.”

“I went to Monument Festival in 2022 around the time I'd just after I moved to Europe so it was particularly memorable. some sets that really resonated with me there were Jane Fitz b2b Marco Shuttle, Wata Igarashi Forest Drive West and Kia. There was something magical in the Nordic air during those sets in particular… festival was a really special experience for me so I hope this mix can also resonate with the listeners of this festival.”

Rooted in the Japanese tradition of contemplating the moon, Otsukimi is a gathering where music, nature and the passing of time come together in a unique shared experience.

For MOD.1, playing at Otsukimi was an opportunity to connect with this philosophy through sound, creating a strictly vinyl only journey that unfolded naturally alongside the changing light of the day.

The set began from zero, with ambient textures slowly opening the space and setting the atmosphere.

From there, it gradually evolved into a sonic narrative woven through atmospheric layers, percussive rhythms and hypnotic sounds, following the transition from daylight into dusk and finally into the darkness of the night.

Recorded under the changing skies of Otsukimi.

Here we present Baylas with a live recording of their session from this years Perpendicular event.

Bassywax and Ilayruni merge their visions into one, giving birth to Baylas, a live playground for rhythm and low-end explorations across experimental dance music.

Baylas is an open improvisation that swings in between minimalism, subtlety and spatial cinematics, bridging experimental perception to dancefloor grooves.

The duo aims to transform cold experimental aesthetics into a naughty playful dancefloor scenario that invites the body in. For this transition, the vocabulary is shaped by percussion curiosity, sub bass narratives and atmosphere beds that hold them in union.

As a whole, Baylas invites the audience into a fun and curious journey to their interpretation of future dancefloors.
