Founder of the multi-disciplinary imprint KCZ/CZT/KCZX, Ben Kaczor delivers his six-track ‘Sun Chapter One’ LP via the platform this April.

Basel, Switzerland based artist Ben Kaczor is the founder of KCZ/CZT/KCZX, a border crossing project encompassing his collaborative approach to production, performance and visual art, and over the years has been unveiling his hypnotic twist on techno and performing across Europe and Asia as well as operating as night manager and booker at Chinese underground institution TAG in Chengdu. Over the years he’s gained support from the likes of Japan’s Wata Igarashi, Tripeo aka Darko Esser and Music From Memory artist Michael Turtle, a striking sign of his ability to craft intricate, emotive and powerful techno.

‘Lights’ opens the project with a delicate billowing pad and pulsating subs at its core while pops, clicks, whirrs and chimes ebb and flow within the ten-minute composition. ‘The Fool’ follows and tips the focus over to raw saturated drums, dubbed out chords sequences and an intricately unfolding resonant synth line throughout. ‘Passage’ then strips things back to stuttering chords and ethereal swells driving the arrangement amongst muted drums and minute percussive hits.

Opening the second half of the album is ‘Spinning Wheels’, edging into darker territories via a menacing bass groove, bubbling delays and skippy drums, while tripped out voices and ornate modulations wind within. ‘Alternation’ then leans aesthetically back towards a hypnotic, low-slung feel as subtly nuanced, vacillating chord flutters and wandering twitchy synths float atop shuffled drums. ‘Chronos’ then rounds out the release, employing a more classic dub techno feel through atmospheric hiss, rounded subs, boomy kick and dusty off beat hi-hat.

PREMIERE: Ben Kaczor - The Fool

We are very excited to say that todays Far Blue concept is created by the talented noc:turne. Over the past weeks, noc:turne took the opportunity to reflect on his past summer and translate this feeling into what has become this beautiful one-hour mix.

“The set was recorded after having got the chance to play with and meet a wonderful group of people over summer. These are some of the tracks that, for me, lie somewhere between inspiring and intimidating. It's time to head back to the desk, taking in all I have learnt and experienced, to begin the next chapter. “

German selector Lux, equally known for her storytelling skills in ambient and leftfield electronica, just as she is for her control of the dance floor via diverse house, electro and techno, provides the first arch podcast of 2023. In this serene 70+ minute trip we dive into cascading dub sequences, filtering waves of synthesised melody, and sparse minimalist dub electronics.

A big part of why we do what we do at Delayed is to create a platform for like-minded artists as well as connect in a worldwide community with music lovers who also appreciate a more soothing sound. It’s a best case that we are now able to feature Hame, an artist that comes straight from this community. He appeared in 2022 with his first release, “Compathy” on Lola Haro’s new born label Small Steps - and immediately touched listeners, bookers and us. Unsurprisingly he got booked for a live set at DOEL Festival and we strongly believe that all of you shall get to know the Amsterdam-based artist and get an impression of his approach, journey and of course, his music.

Martinou live at Draaimolen Festival 2022

Solaris is the single extracted from the upcoming Gamma Ray Ep by Basel based experimental techno producer and https://soundcloud.com/amenthia-recordings label co-owner https://soundcloud.com/agonis-amenthia 

The release is inspired by the astronomical phenomenon of gamma rays, the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma ray bursts are associated with the core collapse of massive stars leading to the formation of a black hole or a neutron star, which releases a tremendous amount of energy, outshining entire galaxies for brief seconds.
