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.

The Moat Remixes

DI 001 - Alpha Delta - The Moat Remixes (12" + Digi) - [4 Track Teaser Snippets]

16 Faces is on remix duty for the elusive up and coming techno hermit Alpha Delta of his debut release "The Moat" on Delphic Iris Records. Complex drum work and funk driven baselines bring a unique broken energy to this 146 bpm hybrid bass jam.

One large dose of 90s rave channeling early prodigy, a hint of IDM rhythm and drums and just a touch of uk bass bottom end bring forth something as dance floor as it is heady. Nostalgic yet innovative. 

The off beat rave stabs and euphoric synth strings are plentiful, there is more than enough in here to get your through any wobbly kneed sunrise at a loose summer festival.

PREMIERE: Alpha Delta - The Moat (Critical Automator Dub Mix)[DI 001]

Delphic Iris Records presents unexpected alternative version, born from an extra live take, has been masterfully reworked into

The Moat (Reflux mix) by Critical Automator

Experience a classic Deep Dub Techno groover where pads whoosh and swirl in an extended, evolving workout. Sub-aquatic textures merge seamlessly with an organic pulse, immersing you in a sonic journey.

The main elements of this track were captured almost by accident, recorded while CA's machines were still looping through the desk and hardware effects. In a moment of serendipity, the original Critical Automator Dub mix was created, then meticulously chopped up and reworked into this alternative version. It combines contrasting textures of blurry and sharp focus, evoking visions of murky seas and lush, hazy skies.

Prepare to be transported by the unexpected magic of Critical Automator's latest masterpiece.

Written and Produced by Alpha Delta and Critical Automator

Mastered by Analogcut Mastering, Berlin
Artwork design by Nastya Heart Design
Release Date: 2/8/24

_______

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 ….
