Polo and Steffen Bennemann are two old friends who have been playing together for many years: There is a deep connection that also expresses itself sonically - above all the joy of telling a story together, each with their own means, in constant dialog. This recording shows the two of them in one of their favourite places: As part of the summer edition of the Berlin party series STAUB, in the garden of a club named about blank. Sunset and pure Techno. Follow: https://soundcloud.com/polooo https://soundcloud.com/steffenbennemann

MNMT Label Showcase presents Northallsen Records mixed by Aleja Sanchez (@djalejasanchez) Northallsen Records is an electronic music label founded in Bogotá, Colombia in 2016 by Aleja Sanchez. The label's sound embraces the realms of hypnotism and explores the fusion between organic soundscapes, experimental and acoustic elements, with the powerful load of techno music, revealing a sonic narrative that flows between the mysticism of ancestral cultures and the spiritual power of nature. In order to build the concept, far away from trying to emulate a sound, the label curation is focused on artists with their own identity and particular voice, with a foundation into their musical and artistic proposals. Recent releases have featured the likes of Oscar Mulero, Deepbass, Reggy van Oers, Magna Pia, Polygonia, Tekra, !nertia, Psyk, Laertes, Iori and founder Aleja Sanchez. The label is intended to keep and highlight the deepness and beauty of techno and electronic music since Northallsen considers music as a tool to help bring harmony and peace in the middle of the tragic war-related situation we all are facing currently around the world.

Debuting his lunar convoy alias in 2015, Souleiman has since carved his own path in the Brussels scene, with a very recent switch to his real first name. The French artist is blazing an uncompromising trail, with a precise, infallible signature that's at once minimalist, mental and multi-genre, combining the qualities of a high-flying digger with a seasoned mastery of the turntables and a deep sense of narrative. While co-running the deep techno imprint NORITE (with Foreign Material), he launched his own experimental label called efja, alongside a monthly residency at Kiosk Radio. This mix was recorded at the Metropolis party back in October 2023, where Souleiman is also a resident DJ, playing the closing slot after Konduku and Sonhan.

For MNMT 385 Polish legend @michalwolski presents us with a very special hybrid mix. Known for his deep, richly detailed music this voyage features four track mixing and live looping techniques to deliver something truly mind-blowing. Michal is an acclaimed DJ, live act & producer, with releases on legendary labels such Semantica, Eerie Rec, Nonplus, Silent Season, Kynant and many more as well as his own Minicromusic Rec. On his approach to the hybrid mix Michal said: “The entire recording was made in Ableton Live. In addition to the tracks that make up the elements of the podcast, you can also hear a whole range of sound events that are brought to life through looping, as well as inducing feedback-loops. Narrating in this way allows me not only to enjoy the music itself - tracks that have caught my attention, whose energy I would like to share - but also to explore regions that are only possible to visit >in this very moment<, during the mix. They can't be planned, they can't be engineered - feedbacks tend to bring transformations having at their source, what is to be given. It's a deeply delicate technique - it can be smooth or extremely aggressive, it's all about being one with the sound and reacting to events at the exact moment and to the exact degree. A mix carried out with four tracks mixed live brings a whole range of possibilities - not only in terms of DJ techniques, but also strictly in terms of production, primarily with effects work at the forefront. This kind of playing sparks my imagination limitlessly.” Follow: SC: https://soundcloud.com/michalwolski FB: https://www.facebook.com/michalwolskimusic IG: https://www.instagram.com/michalwolski/ BC:https://minicromusic.bandcamp.com/
