Delayed with... Edmondson
In the latest installment of our "Delayed with..." podcast series, we're thrilled to present a mix by the talented Edmondson. Hailing from Newcastle and now based in London, Edmondson's musical journey has taken him on adventures in Berlin and the scenic landscapes of southern France. His unique sound, deeply rooted in the UK's dynamic movements of the past two decades, has also drawn inspiration from far-reaching corners of the world.
With releases on labels like Me Me Me and Hypercolour, as well as his very own imprint, Lissoms, Edmondson's music has found its way into eclectic sets across the spectrum. From boat parties to the legendary Berghain, his tracks have graced diverse dancefloors. Edmondson's passion for playing and collecting music since 2006 shines through in his DJ sets, which effortlessly traverse the sonic landscape. His mixes encompass a rich variety of genres, spanning from ambient to techno, weaving through the various shades of house, UK garage, neo-soul, disco, and modern minimal.
Edmondson's latest mix for our podcast series is a masterfully curated, stylish musical narrative that gradually builds in energy with each passing chapter. It serves as the perfect soundtrack for a late-night drive through the rain-soaked streets of Manhattan, where the city's skyscrapers cast their luminous glow, and the urban pulse remains undeterred by the persistent rain. The mix skillfully strikes a balance between melancholy introspection and the irresistible grooves of a late-night adventure.
When asked about his creative process for this mix, Edmondson's response offers a glimpse into the artistic mind behind the music: "I always like to think that a good mix has a natural flow embedded into it, almost like a day/night cycle. I used the first half to focus on combining some more delicate and introspective sounds (the kind that Delayed does such a good job of celebrating) and went a bit more off the cuff with some more deep & clubby stuff towards the end. I feel like autumn is always a fruitful time for music discovery as life moves back indoors, so I tried to make the kind of mix which I would hope to stumble upon for the colder days & nights."
