At Delayed, consistency and vision matter. That’s why we’re always happy to shine a light on those who keep pushing forward with purpose. Berlin-based label Art Bei Ton is marking its seventh anniversary with a standout compilation titled Faded Mystical Journey, a cohesive 8-track release that moves from shadowy, atmospheric depths into rich, hypnotic territory.
The compilation features contributions from longtime friends of our platform, familiar names, and some exciting discoveries. Today’s premiere comes from a friend of Delayed: the Japanese sound architect Makiko Iwaki, known to many as Menou when performing live, and Iwamaki behind the decks.
Here, she appears in her Menou guise with Singularity, the opening track on the release. It’s a meditative, slow-burning drone that sets the tone beautifully. Singularity is a slow exhale, a layered drone that feels still, but never static. It builds with grace, tension, and care. Menou creates a space that’s both calming and charged, a paradox that works effortlessly.
Faded Mystical Journey drops May 16 via Art Bei Ton’s Bandcamp. Happy seventh, Art Bei Ton, here’s to the next chapter.

There’s a space between life and death where memory, emotion, and rhythm blur into something unspoken, that’s where Vanta begins. “Between Life and Death”, his debut album on IO Records, draws from personal upheaval, pairing stark introspection with glimmers of defiance. The project navigates the tension between collapse and healing, with tracks like “Intrusive Thoughts” and “Void” oscillating between vulnerability and strength. It’s a record that doesn’t offer resolution, only presence, a sonic companion for those walking their own edge.
Opening with “Dissociative Drift”, Vanta wastes no time setting the emotional temperature. The track feels like falling into a dream you half-remember, bleepy percussion echoing like distant signals, submerged beneath fog-thick drones and viscous synth lines. It’s less a song than a state of mind, evoking the sensation of floating through murky water, unsure if you’re surfacing or sinking. A slow, syncopated pulse guides you, not forward, but inward.
“Between Life and Death” arrives on May 13 via IO Records. Pre-orders are live now on Bandcamp.

Annuled Music is back with another gem, this time introducing Aawadh - a new alias from French producer and Cielo Records boss JC Laurent. Known for his deep, hypnotic take on techno, JC flips the script on Dyadica, an 8-track debut album that trades 4/4 for halftime pressure and lands somewhere in the 80/85 BPM zone. It’s packed with groove, weight, and that sweet spot between heady and physical. There’s room for ambient detours (Ignys), tribal techno nods (Nyteris), and and straight-up pressure with Oscillia, but the core vibe? Forward-thinking halftime drum & bass with real depth.
We’re premiering the second track from the album, Alkymis, which together with the opener Evolys kicks things off and sets the whole vibe. Eerie and energised, with a kind of ritualistic swing to it. The drums snap, the synths melt, and everything flows just right. There’s a UK breaks feel underneath, but it’s doing its own thing. Big system or headphones, club or commute, it hits. One of those tracks that makes the world move a little faster.
Dyadica drops May 2 via Annuled Music.

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, artist Pannotia, under the Pure Space label, is releasing a five-track EP titled "Cell." This EP will be available on Bandcamp from 2nd May and immediately captivates with its own twang. This sound exists within a multitude of spaces, specifically in a realm called ‘Biozone’ in which this track is titled.
The music evokes a feeling of being recharged, discovering movements and forms that have always existed within but are now imbued with cosmic influence. Bionic and poetic, it offers an undeniably sexy slow groove that holds a special place on the dance floor, built upon bass-heavy foundations and a seductive, relaxed trance – a track capable of transporting us in any direction as it draws to a close.

Octo Åeterna is a producer and DJ deeply embedded in the darker edges of electronic music. With roots in South America's underground, he's spent years fine-tuning a sonic identity that draws on mathematical structures, probability, and organic chaos. His work, solo and through his Technologia Organica label, explores textured psychedelia, often grounded in nature's strange logic. Releases on Danza Nativa and his imprint showcase a careful but adventurous mind, balancing abstract sound design with dancefloor weight. Whether curating Noctambula nights or crafting vinyl releases, Octo's aesthetic is precise, immersive, and alive with intent.
His "Delayed with…" mix is a live recording from Berlin's legendary Tresor that happened in June 2023, and it plays like a transmission from a parallel biome. It begins in murky waters, ambient textures that ripple and curl like oil on a dark tide, then gradually locks into a loose-limbed, halftime pulse. Octo leans into polyrhythmic percussion and deep, sticky synths, shifting between grooves with surgical control. As the set evolves, four-to-the-floor rhythms rise like tectonic plates, grinding under a thick atmosphere. By the end, he cracks the structure open with broken beats and UK-leaning breaks, closing on a haunting and strangely euphoric note. It's a mix that mutates without losing shape, like watching an alien ecosystem reorganize in real time.

Long time friends Big City Bill and Neil E meet for a split EP of groovy driving house dubs on Naarm’s Spincycle Records. The BBV is laid out with kicking drums and lightly tapping percussions. A washed out pad drifts in and out sprinkling magic over listeners while an organ like bassline propels. It’s a slightly cheeky groove that makes you want to kick off your shoes and watch the sun go down with your friends. The programming is catchy and yet still kind of sneaks up, unfolding as the snappy hats and clap are revealed. Neil E’s contribution to Spincycle fits well next to their first release, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was also found in the record bags of discerning tech or progressive selectors.
On the flipside is Big City Bill’s, ‘Dry Rub’ a wiggly fun number that is bound to keep summer dancefloors bounding.
‘Fantastic Thoughts EP’ is out on April 28th. Pre-Order is Available Now.

This mix has been brewing in my head for a while now.. An inkling of it first started to pop up back in October while we were at our biannual Delayed gathering in the mountains of upstate New York. I played a set with a dear friend on the Sunday morning there - cozy & hopeful music from various corners of our collections that don't get played very often but are set aside for special moments. My favorite kind of music.. It was one of the most memorable sets I've played & brought up a ton of emotions & memories from past experiences hearing some of those songs. Memories from my wedding, memories of my brother, memories from times living in Los Angeles when Sundays were all about lounging around all day in the sunshine after nights of dancing into the early hours of the morning. We laughed, cried, danced, ate lunch, all over the course of the morning into the early afternoon. It laid the foundation for how I wanted to approach this mix for Zach.
Sundays for me have always been a day of healing - mentally, physically, emotionally. It's a day to seek inner peace & a day to be reminded of everything you have to be grateful for in spite of anything else. I recorded this mix on a rainy Saturday earlier this month, channeling all of those memories & feelings, with my dog by my feet while my wife & daughter wandered about the house, making beaded bracelets & doing various arts & crafts.
From me to you, a warm hug & the promise of spring.

Musical paths twist and turn throughout life, one never knows where the next connection can come from. Like minded people, loving the same artform or creative form of expression makes for many a ‘friend at first sight’. After meeting Luca a few years ago at Mostra, we’ve had the opportunity to spend plenty of time dancing and chatting together, enjoying our favorite musical expression. As head of his E2-E8 label, the London based DJ and curator has crafted his own path with prior releases from fellow Delayed friends Avsluta, and hems to name a few.
To mark E2-E8’s first release of 2025, the responsibility goes to a founder of the Unknown Species Collective event and podcast series, Rado aka Naturalisten and his debut titled Forms. The 6 track release, including a remix by Forest Drive West, blends a few different musical styles. Acid, ambient, deep techno, breaks, all coming forth in a nicely varied release.
Against the Tide is a floaty number, with muted, upbeat melodies providing some sense of groove and a nice counter to the darker side of the release. These tones are complimented by a steady stream of shakers and hi-hats that deftly hit in the background but don’t overwhelm the mix of panned textures and occasional glittery synth.
Expect Forms to be out on the 25th of April in record stores, and on Bandcamp.

https://www.delayed.nyc/delayed-blog/label-spotlight-gifkikker
For the first of a new series highlighting record labels around the world, we bring you GIFKIKKER - a Brussels-based collective of friends birthed just after the pandemic. Their sound, imagery & adherence to a high level of quality piqued my interest right away when I stumbled upon their soundcloud a couple of months ago. There’s something very fresh about GIFKIKKER - their sound blurs the lines between high octane, driving techno & the more psychedelic, introspective & hypnotic side of things. And that logo.. it’s so compelling & describes their sound & ethos so well. They’ve made a big effort to foster an open-minded experimentalism while still holding onto a consistent mood & tone throughout their releases & their focus on lesser-known talent made them stand out to me right away, akin to a tide pool full of exciting new discoveries. In addition to being a label, they put on events in Belgium & also have a regular mix series ‘Dissection’ which features 20+ mind-bending sets from members of the collective & friends from the Brussels scene & beyond.
Today we’re premiering a track off of their next release from Berlin-based Ryft who has had a couple of GIFKIKKER appearances over the years. Enjoy ‘Resonator Rythms’ below as well as our interview with the GIFKIKKER collective about how it all came together, their take on the scene in Belgium at the moment & their friendship with Ryft.

fl_000 has been shaping dancefloors for over a decade, but his story begins on the other side—as a raver immersed in Berlin’s legendary club scene. Drawn in by the pulse of the music, the architecture, and the community, he found a new rhythm that reshaped his life. His sets reflect that origin: raw yet refined, rooted in vinyl and built on a deep understanding of groove. With releases on rauh, Turnland, and his own label just stretchin’, as well as a steady hand in organizing events in Hanover, fl_000 keeps the spirit of his early days alive while carving out new sonic paths.
For his "Delayed with…" contribution, fl_000 delivers a mix that drifts effortlessly through the deeper, warmer edges of electronic music. It opens in a haze of dubby echoes and jazz-tinged vocals before shifting into a rich blend of character-heavy tracks. The pace is patient. There are no sharp turns, just a sense of movement, steady and fluid, like a thought you can’t quite pin down. It’s the kind of mix that mirrors spring’s unpredictable moods, fluid, textured, and full of subtle surprises.

ACCENTAPE returns with its ninth release, continuing the series’ mission to connect artistic worlds through sound—sometimes by highlighting similarities, other times by leaning into contrast. This time, it’s a meeting in the middle. ACCENTAPE009 is a delicate convergence of tones, textures, and moods—chromatic, soft-edged, and deeply felt. The release pairs London-based Avsluta—known for her organic, atmospheric productions and deeply curated selections behind the decks—with Parisian producer and visual artist Adhémar, whose work channels color and form into weightless, meditative sound. Together, they offer a slow-blooming album that feels perfectly in tune with the season’s quiet shifts: tender light, budding branches, and long, patient days.
Our premiere today is “Black Mamba”—a track that doesn’t bite, but glides. It opens with a haunting spoken-word passage, almost ceremonial in tone, a whisper of myth and power that gradually dissolves into an airy ambient wash. The stillness stretches and morphs, giving way to a restrained tribal rhythm that pulses beneath the surface, guiding the track forward with hypnotic subtlety. Just when it seems to vanish into the ether, melancholic strings emerge, soft but striking—another layer of identity for the Black Mamba, both queenly and ghostlike. It’s a slow spell, not a strike.
ACCENTAPE009 arrives April 21 on cassette and digital.

BLNDFLD is part of a new wave of artists giving deep techno a more textured, introspective edge. Hailing from Tbilisi and co-running Spira Records, he’s been quietly building a reputation through releases on labels like Bahn, Circular Limited, and Indefinite Pitch. His sound is patient and immersive, built on subtle shifts, rich atmospheres, and grooves that pull you in rather than push. Whether he’s behind the decks at Bassiani or Laut in Barcelona, there’s a consistent thread: a focus on flow, mood, and storytelling that runs deeper than just the tracklist.
His mix for "Delayed with…" fits that ethos perfectly. It’s smooth, layered, and full of movement, balancing broken tribal rhythms with dubby textures and just enough melody to keep things bright. There’s a kind of quiet confidence in how it unfolds, like it knows exactly where it’s going without rushing to get there. It feels made for those first warm days of spring - windows down, sun out, maybe a rooftop gathering in full swing. If you’re looking for a mix that hits that sweet spot between deep listening and casual vibe, this one’s got you covered.

Toki Fuko captivates listeners with deep soundscapes and melancholic melodies. Insomnia is part of the four-track EP Phantom Scripts, set for release on 10th April on The Hague located spclnch, available in both digital and vinyl formats on Bandcamp.
A hypnotic blend of soundscapes and field recordings, Insomnia navigates us through an eerie atmosphere. An initial sense of unease, but an underlying current of reassurance lingers throughout. The track transports you to a dimly lit room where fingers glide effortlessly across piano keys, merging electronic textures with classical composition. Midway, a voice sample emerges, adding depth to the narrative and drawing you further into a world explored through sound.
Insomnia evokes the feeling of creating messages from the void and the unknown.

Cafe de la Jungle builds worlds through sound—dense, hypnotic, and alive with movement. Every track is a pulse, a shifting landscape where rhythm and texture collide, guided by Tomasz K Zajac’s instinct for the unexpected. His productions blur the line between the organic and the electronic, drawing from primal grooves, shamanic energy, and cutting-edge sound design.
On Ginso, his latest release, he sharpens his vision—six tracks that twist, swell, and shapeshift in unpredictable ways. Out on Polygonia’s always reliable QEONE imprint, the record thrives in a space where rhythm is fluid, structure is loose, and movement is inevitable.
“Flying Nimbus” drifts in like a hallucination—light on its feet but rich in detail, its melody curling and dissolving like smoke. Layers of percussion pulse beneath the surface, shifting subtly, never settling. It moves with an effortless momentum, floating somewhere between the organic and the otherworldly, pulling the listener deeper into Ginso’s shape-shifting terrain. This is just the first step, a soft invitation before the record expands, twists, and dives into wilder territories.
Out on April 8 via QEONE.

With Mostra Festival just over a week away, we’re wrapping up our editorial run with a conversation and a mix from Peter Van Hoesen. His work has always sat slightly outside the frame: techno, ambient, experimental, but never quite typical of any. Instead of chasing momentum, he’s built a practice around attention to sound, to context, and to the possibilities of performance.
At Mostra, he’ll step into a rare DJ role, playing a drum & bass set shaped by years of quietly following the genre’s more experimental edges. In this exchange with Griff and Zach, he reflects on what still draws him to that sound, how his relationship to playing out has shifted, and why intention matters more than ever. The mix he’s shared alongside the interview follows that same line — precise, considered, and wide open. A final entry before we gather next Thursday at Fabra i Coats in Barcelona.

Causa, the latest EP from Stuttgart-based Predawn Records, and label co-founder Nils Edte, explores motion, force, and matter. The EP is available for pre-order in digital and vinyl formats, with shipping and release on 7th April.
Continuatio, living up to its name, embodies motion through constant evolution. A soft, pulse-like kick drum initiates the track, joined by hypnotic sirens that persist throughout. These sirens serve as a consistent guide, a recurring hook to which the track always returns.
Nils Edte arranges familiar and alien-like elements, crafting a distinct thematic atmosphere. The track transitions to its conclusion, with a deep, groove-laden baseline that brings the journey to a satisfying close.
Another classic from Nils and Predawn.

Forever evolving and progressing her sounds, Nadia Struiwigh’s ear and passion for coaxing out the best from her array of studio gear always results in tracks with a certain je ne sais quoi. Through emotionally charged ambient releases like Pax Aurora on Nous’klaer, or Birds of Paradise on Dekmantel, her artistic freedom is a key factor that provides a freshness to her music.
Like the musical yin and yang, from Ambient to the dancefloor, Nadia’s adeptness at creating special tracks doesn’t end at the beatless border. Her live sets are stories of twisting techno, you know the kind that makes you shake your head at how well all the elements combine into one cohesive track. In line with this is her forthcoming release on the storied British imprint, Blueprint Records. Titled X1 Shift, the four tracker joins Voxis Ohlun (2024) as her second, masterclass in hardware driven techno.
Glimmerfall arrives immediately with warm waves of undulating synths bouncing and shifting in the background. Punchy kicks and a breakish pattern keep things moving along, while Nadia’s arrangement and various element choices elevate the track even more as a testament to her sequencing skills. We’ll certainly be hearing this out in many a set, and club, rightfully so.
Glimmerfall and the rest of Nadia’s X1 Shift release will be out on the 4th of April.

We’re two weeks away from Mostra 2025. Final prep is in full swing, and over here at Delayed, we’re marking the moment with a special one. A two-hour recording from ABSIS—Mostra resident, local legend, and someone who’s been quietly shaping his own corner of the scene for years.
This one’s from Gare Porto, aka the Portuguese tunnel—one of those rare venues where the setting does half the work. ABSIS played alongside Nico and André Cascais for one of the recent Extramostra nights, and what came out of it is something else. A deep, locked-in ride that doesn’t bother with the usual build-and-drop patterns. It’s not about reaching some peak moment—it’s about staying in the zone and letting things unfold naturally. This set is pure spiral techno—deep, hypnotic, and tunnel-vision tight. It moves with that kind of quiet intensity that sneaks up on you. No flash, no filler. Just steady pressure and perfectly measured pacing. Like being pulled along some underground Iberian rail line, eyes closed, body moving on instinct. ABSIS keeps full control from start to finish, guiding the whole thing with an ease that only comes from time and taste.
You can feel the room in the recording—the acoustics of the tunnel, the crowd syncing up, that low-end weight that holds everything together. It’s a full-on experience, even in playback. There’s something about this set that sticks with you. The way it just moves—no big drama, no gimmicks, just pure direction and control. It’s the kind of mix that makes you wish you were there… and also kind of convinces you that you were.
ABSIS doesn’t overstate anything. He doesn’t have to. He locks into a mood and stays there, pulling everyone in with him. And if this set from Gare Porto is any sign of what’s coming—then that closing slot at Vall d’Hebron is going to be serious.
Hold tight. Mostra’s almost here.

I recorded this mix sitting on the carpet of my partner and I's new home, pulling out some old records and enjoying the comfort of our new living room which now also houses my custom green monitors. Sundays to me have a naturally relaxed and positive vibe and it's the same day that I throw my event 'Park Dub'. The music at Park Dub is generally a mixture of electronic dub tracks and more rootsy dub reggae but I usually tell the DJ's playing that 'anything with enough reverb and delay is fine', haha. I tried to capture the spirit of Park Dub in the mix.

Shebuzz, Akmuo and Heavenchord - Seashell Dreams (Grounded Mix)
Babe Roots - World Struggle (Ambient Dub)
Ghost Dubs - Thin Line
Cofaxx - Move 2
Dubmonger - Archive
