REVIEW: Luigi Tozzi - Spiral EP [Non Series]

Mark Twain quipped famously, "History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme." Or, more philosophically, events in history seem to follow a spiral path: always bending in a circular fashion towards a center but never on the same plane, creating this familiar yet fresh feel. If Luigi Tozzi did not explicitly refer to this phenomenon by naming his latest magnum opus "Spiral EP," he must have done it subconsciously.

PREMIERE: Uanamani - Sexto Sentido [On Board Music]

Uanamani clearly earns a Michelin star when it comes to salads: Sexto Sentido is a musical version of something like a Mexican salad

PREMIERE: Fluxion - Slide [Echocord Records]

What is it about dub techno that makes us love it every time we hear those syncopated, heavily reverberated and delayed sounds? Dub makes it easy to get lost in one's own thoughts; to explore the cavernous recesses of one's mind; to get lost and to let go

PremieresSlava MalkinNovember 4, 2021fluxion, Slide, Echocord

TRACK OF THE MOMENT: Vril - Purge [Sun Sad]

Vril is the type of artist that rarely takes the common path. His musical palette is typically subtle, layered, sophisticated and never straight forward. However, on occasion, the artist dials down his signature cavernous reverb, sets his complexity dial on "low" and dazzles the listener with gentle and restrained piece of music.

PREMIERE: Moon Patrol - Moofter [On Board Music]

There is a running joke at the Delayed headquarters that our blog's name is not just a sound processing effect but a way of life for all of our teammates: we eventually arrive where we're aiming to go, but we do take our sweet time getting there

REVIEW: Blazej Malinowski & Claudio PRC - Future Retro [012]

In food, the art of pairing is subtle but important. Open a wrong bottle of wine with your dish and the meal is ruined: flavors either cancel each other or dominate one another or, worse, fight each other

PREMIERE: Dycide x MTRL - Invocation [IO]

Dycide is certainly no stranger to Delayed and has been consistently "climbing" our internal charts and winning our ears with his moody deep productions.

PREMIERE: Dycide - Coincidence [Crescent London]

Electronic tracks typically channel a specific mood or vibe. They make us feel things…some caress with their warmth; some pound us with their anger and despair; some push us into anxiety; some make us dance and some hypnotize us

PREMIERE: Vril & His Master's Voice as Adderall - Cryosleep [Turnland]

As release notes for the entire compilation starkly state in the beginning, “these are strange times and it looks like the whole world is going crazy”.

REVIEW: Joachim Spieth - Ousia [Affin]

In the darker regions of techno, Joachim Spieth is a familiar name with an unmistakably familiar signature sound: extra deep melancholic pads set to a relentlessly driving beat, creating a stark contrast that is "oh so Spieth". But 2020 finds maestro unplugging his drum machine and playing more with his reverberated pads.

PREMIERE: Tam Nisam - Ursita [BROR Records]

It's October in New York and it has been still mostly warm and sunny. So if you're like me, you're probably popping in some light breezy summer music and lulling yourself into thinking that summer will never end.

PREMIERE: Human Space Machine - Unconscious [On Board Music]

Unconscious by Human Space Machine is a great exercise in the subtle art of tension and release. The track is very deliberate at slowly building up various sonic elements and letting the synth lines open and blossom.

PREMIERE: PRG/M - Marchesa Deserta [Sure Thing]

People love calling this music "trippy techno". But, to those who love to dissect, file, classify and generally annoy others with their penchant for cataloging, there is much more to the genre

PREMIERE: Bas Grossfeldt - Lost In Sensation [Metroplex]

Getting lost is an art. Losing oneself among the winding streets of an unexplored town or losing oneself to an overwhelming sensation requires one to let go. To forget. To not look forward. To not seek. To not pay attention. To stop time. To disappear

PREMIERE: Orion - Lie (Luigi Tozzi Remix) [Orion]

Blame the treacherous winds of COVID pandemic and its concomitant quarantine, excessive drinking, zoom parties, and slow internet connections, but Delayed has clearly been binging on the dark sounds of dub techno lately

PREMIERE: Luna Ludmila - Sway [SoHaSo]

It's no mystery that we, here at Delayed, like the mysterious sound of dub techno. It's also no great surprise to our listeners and readers, that our collective ears perk up when we hear things with intricate ornate rhythms rather than in-your-face, four-on-the-floor bangers.

PREMIERE: Adwer - Recombinant (Amandra Remix)[Bolygó Records]

Every techno head is probably familiar with dub techno: that muffled, echo-y, reverb-drenched, bass-pumping sub-genre that feels so good in a dark club in the middle of the night

PREMIERE: ADT - Immaterial Meeting [R12 Records]

Immaterial Meeting treats us to a high energy breakbeat rhythm that is immediately contrasted with somewhat mysterious and laid back synth lines, that swirl in and out like snow flakes
