Dutch artist Stefan Vincent returns to Amsterdam-based imprint MUSAR Recordings to conclude the melancholic journey he began with the 'Pre' edition last June. This release tells an honest, raw story of embracing solemn moods and the positive, transformative impact they can have on life. The track ‘You Know This Isn’t Going To End Well’ begins with a sense of curiosity, drawing us into its intrigui...

Ambient Australian sounds are the name of today's premiere game as we welcome Mara, a key figure in Sydney's experimental scene to our platform. Her album, titled ‘At Every Corner’ is the first on fellow Aussie label, Pure Space and comes via their home listening series. Stretching through seven tracks, Mara guides the listener along a journey steeped in field recordings, snippets of past performa...

We’re all seeing it: attention spans are shrinking. Podcasts rarely stretch past an hour, and event sets often cap at two. But there’s something to be said for the longer journey, a three-hour mix that pulls you in, letting you sink into the groove and lose yourself in the unfolding narrative. That’s what this week’s guest mix brings to the table. Romi, the visionary behind Kizen Records, has craf...

As the days grow shorter & the leaves begin to turn, we find ourselves looking inwards, preparing our minds for the beautiful yet harsh cold winter months ahead. There is a particular awareness of the present moment during these transitions from season to season, as cooler weather gently makes its way to the New York area. I certainly find myself seeking out music that is more introspective & comf...

Ambient music can mean many things to many people. Packed to the brim with emotion or devoid of and calming as Eno coined many years ago when describing his seminal release. In either format, the genre has a restorative effect, to give one space for thoughts that swirl in time with the ebbs and flows of the music. Our premiere for today comes via Dutch producer, Will Oirson and his track ‘Escapism...

Following his debut LP on Smallville Records in April, Joe Davies returns with a fresh take on the opening track Hi-Life, now reimagined as the Frankfurt Mix, offering a new mask, outfit, and flavour in his forthcoming Pardon My Late Response 4-track EP on the same imprint. This dub-house track exudes sophistication, with its echoing chords, textured soundscapes, and off-kilter percussion. Whereve...

Ben Kaczor is no stranger to us here at Delayed. After listening to, playing and following his musical progression through the years, we finally had the opportunity to meet properly this past summer at Above Below. The ensuing conversations and time spent together only deepened our appreciation and respect for the young artist and his incredible talent. His music is deeply emotive, and contains a...

The European outdoor festival season is slowly winding down, the light starts to get a little more golden, the air a little crispier and the idea of turning a little more inward doesn’t feel too strange anymore. With summer almost over, still two events “jewels” remain for ambient and spiral electronic aficionados. Some will make the trek to the Labyrinth Festival far away in Japan, a festival tha...

Copenhagen’s Echocord label returns this September with the release of the ‘Invincible Nature’ EP by Altone, featuring remixes from Thomas Fehlmann and Another Channel.

The Amsterdam-based imprint Far Blue welcomes Dutch producer Hame and his four-track "Watershed" EP for their second release. In this EP, Hame explores a deeper and organic style while keeping true to his hypnotizing rhythms in an emotive context. The EP happens to be a selection of tracks made around critical turning points in the artist's life. These moments of change often result in new energy...

Joachim Spieth teases his forthcoming album "Retrace" with the release of the album opener, "Recall," accompanied by a wonderfully dubby, dance-floor-friendly remix from the producer well-known within our community, Luigi Tozzi. While Spieth keeps things in a laid-back "sofa surfer" mode with deep, ambient, and dub-tinged atmospheres, Luigi Tozzi's remix expands the dub side of "Recall" into a pro...

At Delayed, we feature a lot of mixes throughout the year, whether through our podcast series or our monthly lists of favorites. But today’s featured mix holds a special place for me, the author. Let me set the scene. It was June 1st, and our crew was invited to play at the remarkable Above Below Festival in the Chiltern Hills, England. The setting, the people, and the music created an almost drea...

Today, we're returning to the enchanting forests of the Spanish midlands and our beloved Delayed x Perpendicular series.

On deck for today’s premiere is an analog trip from Estonian artist, Taevalaotus off of their forthcoming vinyl album titled ‘Ringlus’.

This week, our journey takes us to Japan's Nagano Prefecture and the charming town of Omachi. There, Keita, our latest contributor to "Delayed with..." who recently made a mix for our friends at On Board Music, performed at the Hachou event.

sundays, what are they, who are they for… i think we’ve gotten closer to answering both of those questions over the years. the variety, the attention to detail and care, for each mix, a safe space to be for oneself. each submission is an auditory vignette, a short story into our respective lives as artists, curators, and passionate lovers of music. to give space and not expect something in return,...

We're back in the spellbinding Spanish woods, home to Perpendicular Festival, this time with a New York City via Madrid DJ, 037. 037, aka Leo Téllez, one of the members of the Perpendicular crew, delivered a wild ride at this year's gathering. His set was a primal force, instantly gripping the crowd with a relentless halftime beat. As the journey unfolded, 037 threw unexpected twists and turns of...

Four years after we featured their guest mix, one of the most played with over 40K plays, the beloved Italian duo Orion is back on our "Delayed with..." series. This time, they're sharing a live set recorded at this year's Paradise City festival. Saturday's program at the Sweet Spot stage included many of our friends who are usual suspects here at Delayed. It felt like a family gathering... in the...

as we've reached the end of july and look towards august, the weeks past provided some nice moments. time spent with family, grilling anything and everything for dinner each night. walks around my home town in the ‘golden hours’ of the evening. there’s a certain tranquility about that, which counters the noise of new york, oh so well. track list: inhmost & owl - zodiacal clouds veryzer - the ice y...

To the island of Jeju, we look today as the latest offering on Oslated comes in the form of Vidění. True to form, the Italian DJ, and producer (now Barcelona based) inhabits the deeper realms of electronica, as the LP seamlessly glides through many a mood and genre. Acting more like a spiritual successor to a prior release on Shaded Explorations, The Land Of Clouds expands a great deal more on the...

Saturday at the Mostra Festival will be remembered as a true celebration of techno, from Bas Dobbelaer's opening set at the Foso stage to Sonic Wave Collective's closing set at the Castell.  That afternoon, the Foso stage hosted three artists: Bas Dobbelaer, Tevor Handa, and Patrick Russell. We were already familiar with Bas and Patrick's exceptional skills behind the decks, but Tevor Handa was an...

To the Germans do we look for today’s premiere as a rare appearance from one of the core Giegling members, Edward lands on Smallville for his debut release on the label. The combination of these two is not one to be ignored as the four track EP, titled ‘Eddie Green’ contains all the hallmarks of an Edward release. Fast paced, hypnotic and groovy deep house, to techno infused vibes, and dubbed out...
