Woody92 is a multidisciplinary artist and sculptor of a unique sonic realm; exploring psychoactive strains of dwelling textures, push forward shamanism, deep lysergic and deconstructed blending of techno. 2024 has seen Woody playing one of the final sets at the legendary De School closing party, debuting at Berghain with his own Omen Wapta label night, a standout performance at Organik festival and a debut at the hallowed Paral-lel festival later this year. MNMT 420 contains music forthcoming on his Omen Wapta label, unreleased projects from friends and collaborative pieces made with younger brother Floid. The fundamental vision of the mix is a stream that descends from the forest horizon, twisting and turning toward the foreground, filling the spaces with a tactile and fluid sense of motion. The perspective vanishes into a percussive dialogue inside ancient realms. And where layers of space stretch endlessly within morphological distances.
