Truancy Volume 327: Command D

Welcoming Nak to the series, whose repertoire of mixes and recordings makes a strong case for the Naarm-based DJ as a truly standout selector of the moment in any locale. Showcasing her ability to weave tracks—each stunning in their own right —into something truly celestial, Nak's set is boldly psychedelic, a constellation of rhythms that stretch and simmer, held together by a gravitational warmth and felt in every inch of the body. Thank you Isabel!

The concept of this mix is inspired by the artistic technique of chiaroscuro, a term rooted in the Italian words for light (chiaro) and dark (scuro). Chiaroscuro is a style that plays with the contrast between light and shadow, creating depth and drama in visual art. Similarly, this mix explores the dynamic interplay between contrasting elements in sound. As the mix unfolds, it moves through phases of intensity and calm, darkness and light, harsh textures and smooth rhythms. Each transition mirrors the gradual shift from shadow to light, capturing the essence of chiaroscuro in an auditory landscape. The dark, brooding basslines and haunting melodies serve as the "shadows," while the brighter, more uplifting elements cut through like "light," bringing balance and intrigue to the overall experience.
The mix’s energy comes from this contrast, creating a journey that feels both tense and uplifting—like moving through a twilight world where every moment hovers between darkness and light. Hopefully this helps listeners connect with the mix on a deeper level.

Thank you ! The way I build a radio show is slightly different from how I prepare for a live show, though both share the common thread of creating a narrative or storyline. I have a deep obsession with discovering new music, constantly searching for tracks I haven't heard before. I dig through platforms like Bandcamp and Discogs, and working for the bookings and programming at Venue MOT, where I spend most weekends, exposes me to a wide variety of music that I often Shazam. A radio mix, for me, is essentially a curated compilation of my favorite tracks discovered that month. When preparing for a live show, however, I have to consider factors like set time, the venue, and the rest of the lineup. My process involves going through my music library and organising tracks into different folders, always with a clear direction in mind for where I want to take the audience.

(0:00 - 0:31)

Ice thaws, sun’s warm glow
Creatures stir as water flows
Spring blooms, life feels whole.

(0:32 - 1:04)

Once green, now ablaze
Bugs hum in thick Summer haze
Finally, evening.

(1:05 - 1:36)

Light fades, dark awaits
Fiery hues swirl and sway
Dancing in decay.

(1:37 - 2:06)

Winter’s bitter breath
Arrives later and later
Earth’s rhythm: off beat.

Great Beyond 2024 | agraybé @ Kajunga World

At Delayed, we feature a lot of mixes throughout the year, whether through our podcast series or our monthly lists of favorites. But today’s featured mix holds a special place for me, the author.

Let me set the scene. It was June 1st, and our crew was invited to play at the remarkable Above Below Festival in the Chiltern Hills, England. The setting, the people, and the music created an almost dreamlike experience. Connecting with so many like-minded music lovers was genuinely heartwarming. Two DJs though, ANNX and noodle, truly stood out with their performance. After more than 15 years of being indifferent to Dubstep, these two reintroduced it to me in a way that completely blew me away.

I met ANNX and noodle the day before at the festival, and they immediately struck me as warm, genuine, and full of positive energy. What I discovered the next day is that they’re also exceptional DJs. Lifelong friends, ANNX and noodle, despite living in different cities (London and Edinburgh), have been bonded by music since their early years. Both are well-respected in their local scenes; ANNX is a co-founder of the phenomenal Whomp parties in London and AR of Above Below Festival, and noodle is a co-founder of GRDN parties and Subterranean Sound Festival in Edinburgh.

Although they’ve been friends for ages, this was their first public b2b set, and they delivered in a big way. Their smooth, groovy, wicked set at the packed Stone Circle stage was impressive. They radiated such infectious positive energy, and it felt like they had been playing together for years. In a festival filled with talent, ANNX and noodle were the highlight for me. This was my first real introduction to quality dubstep (never late, just delayed ;)), and I’m forever grateful to these two wonderful DJs.

We’re super excited to feature such an outstanding mix here at Delayed!
