  1. PREMIERE: Atàvic - Anacreonic [Alpenglühen]

    6 ENE

    PREMIERE: Atàvic - Anacreonic [Alpenglühen]

    The Spanish electronic scene we’ve come to know is not driven by spectacle. It’s built on continuity. People showing up for each other, projects evolving quietly, ideas passing hands without losing their edge. "Creatividad Artificial" sits firmly in that lineage. It brings together three figures who have helped define the scene's tone over time: F-on, Estrato Aurora, and ABSIS. Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona. Released on Alpenglühen, the four-track EP introduces Atàvic, the new collaborative project between Estrato Aurora and ABSIS. The project feels like a continuation of a conversation already in motion, with both artists allowing their signatures to overlap rather than collapse into a single voice. In Creatividad Artificial groove is treated less as a stylistic choice than a structural constant, tuned and recalibrated across electro, techno, and halftime forms, always nudged by dub logic. Our premiere, “Anacreonic,” builds slowly, carried by a deep, rolling groove that stays grounded while its details shift around it. Dub chords hover, percussion subtly reshapes itself, and a hypnotic sequence carries the track forward without ever being a focal point. It’s measured and confident. This is not peak-time rhetoric or background drift. It sits comfortably in the middle ground where movement becomes intuitive. Anacreonic doesn’t try to impress on first contact, but grows stronger the longer it’s allowed to breathe. "Creatividad Artificial" offers a window into the creative process of these masterminds. Atàvic will perform their live set for the first time at Mostra 2026. Like we needed more reasons to be at Mostra this year! "Creatividad Artificial" is coming out on January 30th as a vinyl-only release. https://alpengluhen.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/lovebas https://soundcloud.com/absismusic https://soundcloud.com/f-ondj Write up by @gilleswasserman https://www.delayed.nyc Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

  2. Sundays are for... Albin

    Sundays are for... Albin

    When we talk about it, it makes you want to smile, but at the same time your eyes can fill with tears. And, speaking about saudade, I have a lot. Sunday is a saudade called Minas Gerais. Of the dreams I dreamed, of others that I didn't even allow myself to dream. In any corner of the world, saudade follows me, but especially in autumn. This sensation of things lost, past and future, grips me in the present. Sometimes it flows through my fingers, run over by the rush of everyday life. Saudade is what proves to us that we love, that we lived moments that were worthwhile, and that we have stories that deserve to be remembered. It's what connects us with what we were and who we were. Sunday is a day to remember everything you had, have and could have had. It's a time to be grateful, despite anything else. To me, this mix conveys a feeling not only of nostalgia but also the alchemy of saudade into a deep moment of rest and introspection. Watch the sun's rays come in through the window and smell the lush birth of a new day. I hope this selection brings warmth and spurs energy for your day.

  3. Delayed with... Horizontal

    23/12/2025

    Delayed with... Horizontal

    Digging does not always mean discovery in the sense of the unknown. Sometimes it is about noticing someone operating with clarity inside a language you already understand. I first heard Paul Thomas via a mix he recorded earlier this year for the Chimaera radio show. It was immediately clear that this was someone fluent in experimental and ambient forms, comfortable with negative space, pacing, and restraint. The hook was instant. Not long after, we crossed paths in Spain through shared nights on the dancefloor and on both sides of a DJ booth. His set at this year’s Perpendicular Festival inside La Cabaña was one of the standouts, marked by a calm command of atmosphere and momentum that allowed the room to settle into its own rhythm. Under the Horizontal alias, Paul Thomas operates as a multidisciplinary artist with a deep interest in the crooked edges of electronic music. As a core member of the Ouroboros crew, he has become part of the more inward-facing currents of the scene. Horizontal represents a fresh pulse, bringing a lightness of touch to music that often leans too heavily on concept. His contribution to "Delayed with" closes our 2025 series. It unfolds with patience, but not passivity. Small shifts accumulate. The mood is tense yet restorative. Unpredictability plays a central role here, not as a gimmick, but as a contract of trust between listener and DJ. This is not background music. Details flicker at the edges, atmospheres thicken, and time stretches in subtle ways that reward full attention. After spending countless hours this year immersed in experimental and ambient listening across many contexts, it felt right to close out 2025 in the same way. Horizontal offers a final chapter that does not conclude so much as open a door, pointing toward other rooms, other journeys, still waiting. https://soundcloud.com/paul-thomas https://www.instagram.com/paulthomas_horizontal/ Write up by @gilleswasserman Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://linktr.ee/delayed https://www.delayed.nyc https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

  4. PREMIERE: Midnight Traffic - Morung (Aerae Remix) [Qilla Records]

    16/12/2025

    PREMIERE: Midnight Traffic - Morung (Aerae Remix) [Qilla Records]

    Indian label & collective Qilla is closing out a busy 2025 with their final release of the year ‘Morung’, a 4-track EP that marks the return of Hyderabad-based producer Midnight Traffic. The release exemplifies the symbiotic relationship that can develop between artist & label. It’s a beautiful full circle moment, as Qilla was the home of Midnight Traffic’s debut EP back in 2015. Over the course of the past decade, he has made regular appearances on Qilla. His fifth release there, ‘Morung’ is a representation of 10 years of creativity & growth, compressed into 4 tracks with his immersive, psychedelic take on techno. It’s music for fast, light-footed movement on an energized dancefloor. In Northeastern India, a 'morung’ is largely a symbolic structure in modern times but represents a place of community to attain important life skills at a young age in India’s past. Their influence has faded as society continues to advance rapidly into the future, but the symbolism is felt here as Midnight Traffic draws a parallel to his own growth as an artist over years. The abstract shape of a morung can be seen on the artwork, which immediately brings to mind some of the triangular DJ booths & stages at our favorite festivals around the world. One of four talented remixers on the EP, French producer Aerae has confidently molded & reshaped the title track into her own signature style of heady downtempo / drum & bass. Her remix is a pressure cooker, buzzing with energy & warmth as it builds tension & slowly releases it throughout the course of the track’s entirety. Midnight Traffic’s ‘Morung’ EP including remixes from Aerae, Zara, Audrey Danza & Andy Garvey will be released digitally on December 22nd. @midnighttraffic https://www.instagram.com/midnighttraffic/ @aeraemusic https://www.instagram.com/_aerae__/ @qilla https://www.instagram.com/qillarecords/ write up by @aspetuck Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

  5. Delayed with... Toé @ Ouroboros Festival 2025

    16/12/2025

    Delayed with... Toé @ Ouroboros Festival 2025

    In a moment where festivals blur into a constant scroll of names and posters, Ouroboros has always felt anchored to something more elemental. Tucked into the Cantal wilderness, it operates like a temporary ecosystem, built on trust between artists, crews, and the land itself. Toé sits at the center of that orbit. As a DJ, producer, and co-architect of the festival’s identity, her presence carries a quiet authority. The same sensibility runs through Soma Animae, her personal platform that reads like a field journal, and through Chimaera, the Eyes Wide Open radio show she curates for LYL. Spend a little time with her work and the through-line becomes clear. Nature is not an aesthetic reference point here. It is the operating system. That context matters when listening back to her set from this year’s Ouroboros, now part of our Delayed with series. Peak hour on paper, but the usual signals are intentionally bypassed. Instead of release-driven drama, Toé builds a flexible structure where tension is constantly adjusted, stretched, and rebalanced. Acid pressure appears and dissolves, depth gives way to propulsion, grooves are allowed to settle before being nudged elsewhere. Ouroboros’ connection to its surroundings has always shaped how sound functions there, and Toé navigates that dynamic instinctively. The forest is not a backdrop but a participant, absorbing and reflecting the pulse coming from the sound system. For those two hours, the exchange holds steady, neither side dominating. What you hear in this set is that equilibrium, electronic music meeting the physical world without either one blinking first. “We circle around and around and around. As if dancing with the fire’s breath. An ever-turning wheel, Like a flame spiraling itself into endless spaces.” Thanks to the producers : Ground Tactic, Marco Shuttle, Black Merlin, Function, Neel, Antigone, Rrose, VC-118A, Echologist, Varuna, Boston 168, Peter Van Hoesen, Silent Servant, Maurizio Cascella, Negative Return, Cio d’Or, Oskitronik, Michal Wolski, Muzmin, Donato Dozzi, Daniel Kane, Varuna, Luke Slater, Shifted, Forest Drive West, Stojche and Andy Martin. - Toé https://soundcloud.com/toe_music https://www.instagram.com/melu_toe https://soundcloud.com/ouroboros-festival https://www.instagram.com/ouroboros.ssss write up by @gilleswasserman Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://linktr.ee/delayed https://www.delayed.nyc https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc
