RE-JENA pres. Monastic Kid & RDGER @ RADIO ELECTRONICA | 2026-01-10

In our latest show, we welcomed Erfurt-based DJ and event curator Monastic Kid to the studio. From his early electronic influences—Jean-Michel Jarre and 90s hardcore—to building his own event series Melodisches Treiben, he shared the journey behind his sound and vision. During the lockdown, he launched a podcast to connect with artists and grow a network that later evolved into real-world events. We also talked about the spiritual roots behind his artist name, his years working in a monastery, and his plans for upcoming releases and open-air events in Erfurt. A conversation about passion, perseverance, and giving the electronic scene a personal face. https://www.instagram.com/monastic_kid/ https://soundcloud.com/melodisches_treiben?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1&si=7B984FD8A661477C8323FCA765A5B59A&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Catch the full interview and exclusive mix now! 🎶✨ In this episode, we also welcomed RDGER to the studio to talk about his deep roots in electronic music and his work with the Friendship collective in Naumburg.

He also gave us insights into the Friendship community — a collective bringing creative energy, local DJs, and family-friendly festivals to the region. A conversation about passion, grassroots culture, and keeping the electronic scene alive beyond the big stages. https://www.instagram.com/rdger_dj/ https://soundcloud.com/r_o_d_g_e_r Listen back to the full interview and his studio set now! 🎶
