"Two hours of an immersive soundtrack, weaving through ambient frequencies and bursts of pure eclecticism. With great elegance, the narrative of this journey is simply captivating, building to a cathartic release. Two hours of deep listening and total enjoyment, filled with musical gems and honey for the ears."

London native, Barcelona resident, Josh Hoppen (@joshhoppen) is a seasoned DJ, crate digger and part of the team behind Mostra festival (@mostrabcn). Taking his cues from years immersed in dance music culture, his sets unravel connections between genres, where moody soundscapes and atmospheric techno clear a path for crisp breaks and crackling jungle. Josh is also the founder of Seasoned Sound, an exploration project digging through the diverse worlds of jazz, funk, soul and disco to unearth the roots of electronic dance music.

HOCast #207 - Josh Hoppen (Corsair)

El cierre de la noche del viernes vino de la mano de Muted (@juan-sdz), como tercer acto de un bloque a vinilo muy especial junto a Fran Campos y Serious Cut. Supo leer con precisión quirúrgica el pulso de un día cargado de intensidad y energía creciente, que pareció resonar con cada rincón del castillo.

Con los ánimos encendidos y algún que otro intento de incursión en el castillo —EL YELMO SE QUEDA—, el set de Muted terminó de sellar una de las noches más intensas del festival.

Muted @ Feudal 2024

On April 22nd, Mostra took over Espacio Perpendicular for a few hours.

Mostra is an independent, small-scale festival of avant-garde and experimental electronic music that was born four years ago to nurture the Barcelona scene. Mostra is local, inclusive, and sustainable. An independent festival made in Barcelona for Barcelonans, but with international vision and reach.

The event, which took place during the day, featured performances by Mattikk, Emilia Grima, Pillen, Doozer, Haara, and F-on.

Doozer@ ExtraMostra x Espacio Perpendicular

We’re two weeks away from Mostra 2025. Final prep is in full swing, and over here at Delayed, we’re marking the moment with a special one. A two-hour recording from ABSIS—Mostra resident, local legend, and someone who’s been quietly shaping his own corner of the scene for years.

This one’s from Gare Porto, aka the Portuguese tunnel—one of those rare venues where the setting does half the work. ABSIS played alongside Nico and André Cascais for one of the recent Extramostra nights, and what came out of it is something else. A deep, locked-in ride that doesn’t bother with the usual build-and-drop patterns. It’s not about reaching some peak moment—it’s about staying in the zone and letting things unfold naturally. This set is pure spiral techno—deep, hypnotic, and tunnel-vision tight. It moves with that kind of quiet intensity that sneaks up on you. No flash, no filler. Just steady pressure and perfectly measured pacing. Like being pulled along some underground Iberian rail line, eyes closed, body moving on instinct. ABSIS keeps full control from start to finish, guiding the whole thing with an ease that only comes from time and taste.

You can feel the room in the recording—the acoustics of the tunnel, the crowd syncing up, that low-end weight that holds everything together. It’s a full-on experience, even in playback. There’s something about this set that sticks with you. The way it just moves—no big drama, no gimmicks, just pure direction and control. It’s the kind of mix that makes you wish you were there… and also kind of convinces you that you were.

ABSIS doesn’t overstate anything. He doesn’t have to. He locks into a mood and stays there, pulling everyone in with him. And if this set from Gare Porto is any sign of what’s coming—then that closing slot at Vall d’Hebron is going to be serious.

Hold tight. Mostra’s almost here.

Delayed x Mostra: ABSIS

"The site remains open. A heavy warmth hangs in the air, humming faintly through the layers. Beneath the familiar grain of stratum TD-6, something shifts - subtle, almost liquid. A trace of heat runs across the timeline, unsettling its order. The sediment stirs; a soft crimson flicker rises, then fades. Perhaps Triana, or something far more ancient. The "Estrato Aurora" evolves, unbroken. The rhythm deepens, folding in on itself. The digger no longer seeks - he listens."

Jaime Romero aka Estrato Aurora (@lovebas) is also the half of Pajaro Dune project (with David Ortolá). He has been an integral part of Valencia's underground music scene. Jaime as a Dj and producer has more than 2 decades in the studio working with analogic machines and a whole kind of stuff. He defines himself as an Atmospheric music worker. His line on the last years has leaded to publish on known labels such as: Alpenglühen, Bliq Rec, Appian Sounds, On Board, Dial Rec. Discos Pandémicos, HC Records or Danza Nativa.

This set was recorded during Pepa's birthday! We’re taking the opportunity here at HOC Radio to wish her a happy birthday. From here, these airs that appear throughout the set, Sevillian and Flamenco, also as a dedication to the entire region.

Basel’s Timnah joins our series with a long-anticipated recording from last year’s inaugural pe:rsona, an intimate gathering from the minds at Positive Education. Over the years Timnah has established a reputation for expansive and visionary selections without equal, lending her voice to the beloved Amentia and A Walking Contradiction collectives and leading audiences into captivating unknowns worldwide. Recorded live in the French countryside at the peak of summer, Timnah’s set smolders with delicate tension, lacing outward like tendrils upon shattering glass. An intense, inward-folding moment graciously shared. Thanks Timnah!

Sure Thing Mix 142: Timnah

Delighted to welcome Utrecht’s Vand to The Observatory, one of our favorite artists <3

From falling in love with his collaborative EP Laren with Bas Dobbelaer, all the way through to his recently released Trialism EP on ISOTOOP (a collective now turned record label, which he’s at the helm of), Vand’s sound has truly captured our heart.

With lush ambient soundscapes coupled with driving grooves, this mix encapsulates everything we love about electronic music <3

Darris Hopper Eloquentia

Darris Hopper is synonymous with highly emotional electronic music, direct to the place where the deepest dreams and mental relaxations are undergone. Down-tempo and ambient glide free over an experimental dialogue, oblivious to modes and fashions, giving rise to an adventure that flees from the darkness and the day to day to immerse us in that long-awaited ideal moment in which to meditate, open the windows inwards, enlightening the interior self and enjoy. State-of-the-art technology, live manipulation, and from the privacy of the studio, at the service of sensations and playful evasion as a first human need in clearly elusive times for lyrical expression.
