RITUAL

RITUAL (complete version)

Close your eyes & imagine a scene unfolding in front of you - the air is cold & crisp, your breath barely visible in the darkness as you exhale, the warm air in your lungs condensing into clouds of fog as it leaves your body. Everything is quiet & the trees sit still around you, all of the sounds gently muffled, other than a faint warm rumble of sub frequencies, somewhere in the distance. You can’t quite pinpoint it but you follow the sound as your feet softly crunch down on frozen earth. As you get closer, you suddenly notice a mysteriously intriguing concrete structure start to appear in the forest. Lights glowing from windows partly shrouded in freshly fallen snow, resembling an abandoned bunker, eerie but peaceful. The music invites you towards it, so you open the door & step in. Immediately you’re enveloped by warm, humid air & hit with a full spectrum of sound, as if the opening of the door was the opening of a low pass filter. 

For this week’s Delayed with edition, we welcome Berlin-based artist Valentin Ginies with a special recording from this bunker in the woods. You may be familiar with Valentin already, as the man behind 11001 Records, or through the festival he organizes outside of Berlin, Third Eye Festival. Last December, he was lucky enough to play an all night long set at this mysterious venue, after the first big snowstorm of the year, with 1 meter of snow on the ground. Aptly named Concrete, the venue is as discreet as it gets, an intimate, minimalist space with no signage on the outside, tucked away in the mountains of a small village in the Japanese Alps called Hakuba, just outside the city of Nagano in Japan. The recording consists of the first 2 hours of his set, where he slowly & steadily drew people into the space, setting the tone for what was to come.

Delayed with... Valentin Ginies

Kā travelled a long way by plane, bus, and car with her 25 kg meteorite gong to be with us this summer at Hybrida Fest. For this new rendering of her live set, we prepared the Liveroom with candles, scents, comfy seating, and spotlights aimed at the centred gong. As Storm guided us through her meditative journey and the gong spun, the light swept through the room and gently illuminated the faces and bodies of a contemplative crowd. As you listen to this recording, put on your best headphones, turn down the lights, close your eyes, and get a taste of the soothing sound bath we all had the chance to relish together this summer in Älvsbacka. Enjoy!

This VA release marks the beginning of a collaborative process.
Contrary to other releases, nobody decides who is good or fitting enough.
Instead all artists participate in a joint feedback process to improve on their tracks, until they have reached a level at which they feel comfortable releasing.

As the title indicates, each track is a reflection on the musical taste, life situation, and production ability of each artist.
Over time - with more releases - we'll be able to see all artists grow.

Digital Nights by Chrome Lungs

The manifestation of human misery. 
Being surrounded by the clash of people who couldn't catch up with how fast the german society has been going and police who are trying to have complete chaos under control. 
The part of the city that doesn't sleep and doesn't let anyone sleep deep.


Kotti

A rich and emotive techno session.
