Alpha Delta - The Moat (Alpha D's OG Mix)
Alpha Delta - The Moat (Drox Electro Mix)
Alpha Delta - The Moat (Critical Automator Dub Mix)
Alpha Delta - The Moat (16 Faces 5am Mix)

The elusive Hackney basement dweller Alpha Delta colloquially known as Alpha D drops his debut single “The Moat” as the very first 12” output on the mysterious new hybrid Berlin++Sydney based label Delphic Iris Records. The headline single inspired by a faithful rave session in Croatia where Alpha D was simultaneously emotionally touched, scarred and sonically pummelled by kick drums at a wild and stormy Dimensions Festival.

This dark techno beast was the aggressive, distorted acid offspring of that faithful night raving between the mud and tears of the crowd at the formidable Moat stage at Punta Christo. His OG Mix is classic 132bpm heavy pounding acid techno at its moodiest.

In the Remix department we have support from the entire Delphic Iris Records crew on this one. A fitting introduction to the labels sound. 

Sydney based Drox of Analog Cabin fame has a low end electro bass bin rattler for us that delves into melancholic and psychedelic 303 territory, deep, minimal and functional a perfect mid set groover in our opinion.

Critical Automator takes us on a deep and elegant techno journey transcending both murky seas and lush hazy skies in his dub mix. Definitely dialled back from the OG mix but there is no shortage of kick drum energy in this one.

16 Faces cooks up complex drum work and funk driven baselines in a hybrid 146 bpm number that’s just a touch rave, grime and idm in his 5am mix. The off beat stabs and euphoric strings are plentiful, more than enough to get your through any wobbly kneed sunrise.

👁️ 👁️ 👁️ 

We welcome Matt Lush aka @lushy303 to the very first installment of the Delphic Iris Mix Series recorded live from our launch last year at @kimchirecordz in Berlin, a killer deep and groove heavy all vinyl set recorded on their lovely Bozak mixer for extra crispy sound.

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒

This series is a handpicked selection of artists and friends of the label whom we enjoy their vibe, energy, and thoughtful musical curation.

We aim to highlight both our own releasing artists as well as selectors in our general community, whether they are based in Berlin, Sydney, or beyond.

As eclectic and chaotic as the Delphic Iris's visions themselves, our mix series will be somewhat sporadic in schedule and touch on both functional club music and its weirder hybrid edges. 

The series aims to channel otherworldly energy, intricate rhythms, and textures that we hope will take you on wild and unique journeys

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒

Born in Melbourne and currently based in Berlin, Matt has been playing records and hosting events for over 20 years.

Originally a more straight up techno deejay, inspired by the likes of Mills and Garnier; these days Matt likes to traverse the dark line between techno, house, electro and acid music.

His artistry behind the decks is a perfect blend of infectious energy, deep musical knowledge and seamless mixing, expertly reading the room who is equally at home in an intimate club space to an expansive warehouse party.

DI Mix Series Vol 1

DI Mix Series 001 - Matt Lush

Drox - Hexameter EP 

👁️ Delphic Iris Records is pleased to unveil its third vision 👁️

Drox's debut solo 12” EP, "Hexameter." This EP features a high-energy remix by 16 Faces, adding a distinct clattering 160 bpm 808 beatdown to the collection.

“Hexameter” brings together a diverse range of sounds, from machine funk and intricate acid lines to engaging detroit-styled dystopian and alien-like synth scapes. Each track offers a unique auditory experience, inviting listeners to explore new otherworldly sonic territories.

Drox emphasizes rhythmic interplay throughout the EP, with a strong focus on groove. The use of rhythmic hexameters and their accents creates a series of tough, dancefloor-focused electronic groove tools.

👁️ 👁️ 👁️

For the second instalment of our somewhat irregular mix series, co-owners @drox and @16faces team up for a rare IRL session—recorded while crossing paths in Sydney over the Aussie summer break.

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
Recorded live on January 1st, 2025 at The Lord Gladstone, Sydney
Part of Got Music Social Club’s Mercury Strut NYD party.
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒

This b2b mix unfolds in 30-minute chunks, blending deep, rounded grooves, otherworldly synths, and lush sunny textures—including a few rare vinyl gems to kick off the year. Drox delivers choice house and Detroit deep cuts, while 16 Faces leans into UK garage, bass, and grimey-tinged flavours.

A soulful, summery ride with just the right amount of grit.

It’s a shift from our usual darker, more pensive sound—but a perfectly timed to the Euro summer on the horizon. Hope you enjoy the selections.

DI Mix Series 002 - Drox & 16 Faces B2B NYD 2025

DX201 - @insomniast-be - First Light EP
Digi + Limited Edition 7" Dubplate.

Rooted in his Bristol upbringing and no doubt charged by the
city's ‘something in the water’ effect, Berlin-based Insomniast
distills the raw energy of the low-end underground into a hazy,
euphoric morning after on First Light EP—the fifth vision from
Delphic Iris Records.

Extending genre-twisting bass music motifs, he weaves lively
distinct 808 rhythms, rave-tinged vocal chops and stabs, and
bass grooves into a journey through night’s intensity and
daybreak’s hazy reflections.

At its peak, Chasing Streams and 1024 bang hard with a skewed
fusion of UK bass and playful ghetto tech rawness, both
punching through with chest-rattling energy.

As the night fades, First Light, Higher, and Live in Love summon
a more expressive, hazed-out euphoria, blending broken
hypnotic rhythms with warm house music sensibility—the sound
of a morning spent in the park, bluetooth speaker humming,
Lambrini flowing, mates chatting shit, and the echoes of the night
before still drifting in the background.


Limited Edition 7" Dub-plate contains tracks:
Chasing Streams (A Side), First Light (B Side) and
All tracks are available via digital download on Bandcamp

Delphic Iris Records Presents SGT — ‘Circuit Riders EP’

Addicted Generation (Original Mix)
From Afar
Body Control
Wizards

10" Vinyl Includes a special bonus track

Concrete pulses, acid bleeds, and cryptic signals in the static Circuit Riders is a stripped-back, sinister slab of electro from Berlin-based DJ and producer SGT, originally from Chile.

Shaped by Santiago’s raw DIY scenes and sharpened at the controls of Tresor, SGT channels punk energy and cold, mechanical tones into razor-sharp body music.

SGT has fine-tuned his sound on one of the most revered systems in the world. That influence is baked into this record: raw, refined, and built for impact—laced with rubbery sequential funk and precise sound design.

Built using classic gear like the SH-101, Pro-One, and TR-808, this is future-focused electro rooted in Detroit funk, NYC attitude, and analog precision. From the dystopian vocoder drive of Addicted Generation to the haunting static of Hoags Object Field Recording, each cut rides the circuitry with purpose.

Machines, movement, and forward pressure.

Out September 2025 on digital + limited 10” dubplate.

_______

In the ethereal realm of the void there existed The Delphic Iris, a being of otherworldly power and boundless knowledge. The Iris was said to possess the ability to see into the future and hear unique and strange sounds from times and dimensions beyond our grasp. 

Legend has it that with a specific alignment of space and time, and with the mastering of secret ritual practices, The Delphic Iris can be conjured by mortal musicians to ignite and inspire their souls. 
__

History's stark warnings tells us that summoning The Delphic Iris is fraught with danger and risks the possible collapse of our universe, for the Iris is an unstable and powerful being. However, The Delphic Iris' visions are often too tempting to resist much like a Siren's song.  

In recent years, electronic musicians Drox and 16 Faces came across the existence of the Delphic Iris through secret texts found in "the Book of Tidder" and were able to command its power for short periods of time, and so “Delphic Iris Records” was born.  

__   

Fortune has been kind to Drox and 16 Faces so far, despite the obvious risks of summoning the entity. We do not know why this is exactly, as the ceremonies are still to this day shrouded in mystery. What we do know is that we too are lucky, because now we can hear a small glimpse of what The Delphic Iris sees.

  It is up for debate as to whether The Delphic Iris’s intentions are good or evil, so listen with caution and may these sounds consume you, for the future of music looks promising, at least for now ….
