Special times and moments, as the soundtrack of this morning has wonderfully been provided by none other than Irina Kotik. Those close to Delayed will know how fantastic it is to see her expanding into other realms of musical expression, as her taste and artistic guidance as one of the Delayed founders is undoubted. Throughout the years, her passion has never wavered and her dedication to promoting and exposing the best in music, unmatched. Today though, we shine the spotlight on her, for this joyous occasion. With all of that being said, grab a coffee, tea, what have you and enjoy the morning sounds of Irina Kotik.

Rising Sun - Dj Mix 20151

Quadrant Soundscape presents In Focus 005

The 5th installment of our In:Focus Series delves deep into a record label that we have a lot of love for. They have such a diverse array of sounds and styles that you can keep going back to again and again.

 We present to you, Ornaments.

  Ornaments was started back in 2008, and has been home to some of the worlds finest purveyors of the deep. Just a quick flick through the discography and you’ll find names like Rhauder, Paul St. Hilaire, youANDme, Moodymann, The Analog Roland Orchestra, Carlos Nilmmns, Rennie Foster, Sascha Dive, Steve Bug and Mathimidori to name just a few.

  As a label Ornaments covers a huge variety of sounds. You can find everything from Ambient, Deep House, Dub House, Hip hop, Dub Techno and minimal.   

Their most recent record came from Wareika with his LP - Tizinabi and is the 54th release. As is the case with all the mixes in our InFocus Series, the problem is not what to include but what can we possibly leave out. It’s safe to say however that due to variety of musical output by Ornaments that we will certainly be re-visiting the back catalogue for a part 2 at some point in the future.

In Focus 005: Ornaments

Live recording from my 2024 February happy hour winebar residency.  
This was a dedicated session paying tribute to the Kompakt record label, artists and associated distributed labels under their umbrella.  

The mix flows from Pop ambient to minimal house. 

This was a personal dig through my Kompakt shelves spanning material from early 00s to present.  In doing the research, I realized I have a very nice selection of more club/rave tuned Kompakt tracks, which unfortunately did not make the cut for the 5 pm Happy Hour winebar venue.

Number 32 in the series is @nsaofficial, Justin and Steve, friends since high school who have forged a great reputation as both dj's and promoters, hosting their NSA parties in Edinburgh with amazing guests over the years. We love their style and reckon they're two of the best track selectors around. Check out this beauty of a mix and gain a glimpse into their world.

1) Introduce yourself? 

Scottish DJ’s & Promoters No Strings Attached aka Steve Cass & Justin Wilson.

2) What have been your highlights from the last 12 months?

We had a great 2016 settling back into Edinburgh’s underground scene. All the parties we put on have been fantastic for many different reasons but it was a pleasure to have Optimo play for us for the first time.

3) What do you have lined up for the coming year?

We had a longer break than expected this Winter so we will be picking up our bi-monthly NSA presents again in Edinburgh’s Mash House kicking of with A Love From Outer Space on March 10th which has already sold out.

In May we celebrate 22 years of our club night which has lasted a lot longer than either of us anticipated and we have put together a very special line up to mark the occasion with Andrew Weatherall & Ivan Smagghe back to back all night long.

We will also be playing at this years Alfresco Festival in Tunbridge wells with a whole host of great acts, starting our irregular club at Sneaky Pete’s which is a really cool small space which we hope will have a similar intensity to the early parties we put on. We will be doing something for the Edinburgh Festival and then bringing up a few new acts to NSA before the year is out.
