#02 SONIC VERSE AT VENUE M.O.T 24/04/2025

D’Monk (live): London-born, Berlin-based instrumentalist, producer, and selector D’Monk (pronounced duh’munk) channels raw, soulful energy through an analogue-driven live set. With deep ties to Touching Bass and SHUSH, the Berlin collective he co-runs, D’Monk’s music blurs broken beat, Detroit soul-dance, and warm electro textures. His 2024 debut EP Shine received acclaim from Mixmag, DJ Mag, Bandcamp and Dazed, and radio support from Benji B and NTS. With fans ranging from Flying Lotus to Ricardo Villalobos, D’Monk’s performances are both emotionally charged and dancefloor ready. Maxwell Owin (live): A vital force in London’s musical underground, Maxwell Owin’s solo live set blends bass-heavy grooves with ambient textures and dubwise experimentalism.This rare live appearance showcases the depth of his production and the richness of his sound palette. Opal & Rago (live improvisational set): Co-founders of Sonic Verse, Opal & Rago bring a hardware-heavy improvisational session, combining drum machines, samplers, and synthesizers in real-time. Rooted in spontaneity and deep listening, their set offers a dynamic journey through rhythm, texture, and raw sonic exploration no pre-programming, no safety net, just pure creative exchange. Sonic Verse events champion collaboration, experimentation, and community.
