Bambi https://soundcloud.com/bambi-dj and Beatrice M. https://soundcloud.com/beatricemasters met on Sunday afternoon at Monument Festival 2025, two artists connected through a shared affinity for bass driven, dubwise club music, and a natural understanding of how to shape space together. Their b2b felt loose and alive from the start. Wobbly low end, groovy, full of movement, with those bombastic, serotonin charged moments landing at just the right time. There was weight in the bass, but it never dragged. everything stayed in motion, fluid, breathing. The crowd followed. Tension building and dissolving in cycles, smiles turning into screams, small peaks opening into bigger ones. it felt lighthearted, almost effortless, but never lacking precision. What made it work was that balance. Playful but controlled, energetic but still elegant. A set that didn’t try too hard, yet delivered fully, keeping the floor locked in and open until the very end.

AHIL joins the Monument Podcast from Rotterdam with a rich and immersive addition to the series. Episode 511 unfolds as an ever-evolving journey, blending depth, energy, and seamless progression throughout. Some words from the artist - “Having the opportunity to create a mix for Monument, a platform and festival that has shaped my sound over the past six years, feels truly special. I approached this mix the same way I would approach a festival set, I want this to feel as a journey shared between artist and dancer. It begins with space to arrive, to settle into the moment, and to prepare for the adventure ahead. Slowly, percussive and deep hypnotic elements emerge, inviting the body to move almost unconsciously. As the story unfolds, rhythms intensify and tension gradually builds, guiding the listener deeper into the experience. What starts as a subtle pulse evolves into a more intense flow of energy, leading towards a final moment of release” Follow : https://soundcloud.com/a_hil https://www.instagram.com/ahil.arthur/

We welcome Horston with a deep dive recorded live at FOLD in London, capturing the moment he stepped up to open the night. The set unfolds with patience and intent — a carefully shaped journey through shadowy textures and driving rhythms. A snapshot in time from the floor of one of London’s most revered spaces. Some words from the artist - “MNMT has been my key source of inspiration for some time now, so it feels very surreal for my Unfold Opening set to be featured as a MNMT Recording… I came to Monument as a volunteer on the bar last year… After leaving Veggli, having experienced the music I love in the most idyllic setting on earth, dancing in the mud with no shoes, watching the rain fall through the smoke and being able to look at stranger as if they were my lifelong friend, I knew now more than ever that this was the sound I wanted to strive towards in both my DJing and productions.” Follow : https://soundcloud.com/horston https://www.instagram.com/horston.music/
