This week, in our "Delayed with..." series, we're veering into the house music lane. Just as the sun starts to linger a bit longer, Kaap, a core member of Amsterdam-based collective De Lichting, guides us through a journey of classic house tunes perfectly suited for these "still shy" but splendidly sunny days. 
It's a trip back to NYC's legendary Cielo in the early 2000s, where DJs pushed perfectly tuned Funktion-One sound system to its limits on nights like this. Remember those epic breakdance battles erupting in the middle of the floor? Yeah, that's the energy Kaap captures.
With Kaap at the helm, expect a pulse-quickening, mood-lifting mix tailor-made for your next rooftop rendezvous.

The German minimal DJ returns to the spotlight with two hours of artfully subtle house and techno.

There's an old German proverb that goes "Der stete Tropfen höhlt den Stein." Literally, it means a constant dripping wears away the stone, but the point isn't about force but patience: slow, steady repetition can leave the deepest mark. It's an apt metaphor for the career of Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB.

Active since the early '90s, first as a DJ and then producer by the decade's end, Athanassiadis has built a career less on hype than persistence. His catalogue spans labels like Dial, Metrolux and Echocord, alongside a steady trickle of EPs and remixes that have quietly cemented his reputation as one of minimal house and techno's undersung heroes.

That patience carries into his sound and production ethos. Where many of his peers embraced software upgrades and new workflows, Athanassiadis has long stuck to Cubase, a handful of trusty instruments and 30-year-old speakers he claims to have run "hundreds of thousands of tunes" through. He also still prefers to use inexpensive, straightforward gear—what matters, he insists, is not the tools but the feel. The result is a sound that’s stripped back, direct and enduring.

Lately, Athanassiadis has found himself back in focus. With minimal enjoying fresh attention, his calendar has filled, and with it a run of back-to-back sets—most often alongside PLO Man, a regular sparring partner this year. True to form, though, you won't find that his style has changed much. Over 30 years after his first gig, you can rest assured you'll still find him playing with patience, carving out long arcs rather than sharp peaks.

His RA Mix captures him in a reflective mood. Running just over two hours, RA.1003 is a hushed yet absorbing affair, moving seamlessly from the delicate atmospherics of Valentino Mora and Caldera to the machine funk of Robert Hood, Solid Gold Playaz and Marcellus Pittman. There are left turns folded into XDB's patient narrative arc, too: John Carpenter's brooding scores here, DJ Sprinkles' melancholic work with Will Long on "Acid Trax N (Acid Dog)" there.

It's the sound of a DJ who has been quietly chiseling away for three decades, and who understands the value of persistence as much as restraint.

BLNDR - Radiolaria

As summer's warmth dissolves into the autumn breeze and the silence of shorter days descends, we're honored to welcome BLNDR to the series, sharing a mix that's a sonic companion for the season's transition.

BLNDR is a French electronic music producer based in Paris.
Deep beats, percussions, and atmospheric elements have always been central to his sound. He took his first steps into electronic music with the release of his debut EP on Hypnus Records in 2014. 

~ Check out his recent release on Hypnus Records entitled "Radiolaria": https://hypnus.bandcamp.com/album/radiolaria ~

About the mix he said:
"This recording captures the essence of open-air ambient performances set amidst nature's splendor, where music seamlessly blends with the sounds of the wild – vaporous melodies entwining with the songs of cicadas and the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze."
