I met Daniel at the Above Below Festival, set in the beautiful landscape of the Chiltern Hills. He played a wonderfully dubby set, and his style and selection caught my attention immediately.

As both an organizer of the festival and a writer for the Brooklyn-based platform Delayed, his passion for music and careful selection is unmistakable. No one can describe his set better than he can himself — so I’d like to share his own words with you. 

"This set was recorded in a remote barn in upstate New York, nestled amongst the Catskill hills. It was part of a music-centered and cosy getaway with the Delayed family and friends, held to embrace the change of season, and connect people across continents. 

This one hour of selections became a special journey where time seemed to stop for me. Friends melting into the sofas around me. The set moves from delicate soundscapes, glitchy notes, warm chords, and keys to dusty vocals, galactic talk, and a groovy melody, but ultimately maintains softness and a sense of calm. 

The preparation was fairly non-existent: I just dropped 125 tracks onto a playlist. It was a mix of old, new, and many I'd forgotten I even owned or what they sounded like. A path with multiple bends and nooks emerged, guided by a sense of nostalgia, mellow lighting, and a few spontaneous choices. 

One track really stood out: "Farewell #7." I had forgotten when I bought it, but the vocals—"I miss you partner," followed by the response, "I miss you too"—made the emotion take over. I felt vulnerable, and a couple of tears graced my left cheek, as it was four years that week since I lost one of my dearest friends, Goose. He was right there with me in that moment, and it felt profound. 

Allow yourself to rise and fall with the times. Beauty is right around the corner, ready to surprise you when you least expect it."
