Open Culture: No Borders is a campaign demonstrating solidarity with refugees and asylum seekers, as an ongoing response to the UK government’s ‘Hostile Environment Policy’. The policy has involved a slew of regressive legislations, intended to create a deliberately challenging environment for migrants to settle. In the process, we are seeing cruel approaches to the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers, the use of provocative language intended to create division and the adaption of laws which offer protection of human rights for all.

Proceeds go to Safe Passage International, who support unaccompanied children seeking asylum to reunite safely with their families across Europe, and campaign for more accessible, safer routes.

All people have the right to a happy and fulfilling life. At a time when hostile narratives and actions seek to divide us, we believe that empathy, compassion, and connection are essential values to strengthen.

PREMIERE: Solma - Sunrotation [Osmura]

Atol Disks is a brand-new journey, one that doesn’t rely on many words—music speaks for itself.

Our vision is to trace a path of coherent eclecticism and spontaneous connections, like an archipelago
of islands tied together by invisible currents.

No Era, No Tempo Vol. 1 embodies this idea:
14 tracks by Italian and international artists, curated by A-Tweed and Oltrefuturo. Each track is a world of its own, yet together they form a natural weave where differences meet and converse in instinctive harmony.

PREMIERE⚡️Octo Åeterna - Iteritas Fortunata [Atol Diskz]

French imprint Melifera Records is back with their latest offering being a diverse release centered around Biocym and his track, Wadis. The five track EP includes interpretations by Piante Vive, Sauvage Dub Trio, Arto, and Biocym himself with a deep vision rework.

As the name implies, Arto’s remix or ‘Fractured dub’ is exactly that. A well executed halftime chugger that breaks apart the original and reassembles it in a twisted manner that keeps things fresh and gets the head nodding. Ever-shifting drum lines and siren-like melodies keep the atmosphere heavy while maintaining a core groove that is ever so loved here at Delayed.

Wadis Variations will be released on May 30th via Melifera Records.

For their 6th EP, Art Bei Ton invites the talented French DJ and producer VBK. Her six-track journey explores the borders of hypnotic and trippy techno, pushing toward the uplifting side of the genre.
 
Dynamic and deep, each piece is crafted to draw the listener into a layered sonic space, balancing intensity with rhythmic textures. The EP features a collaborative track with the Moroccan artist Zaatar and a remix from Tadan.

Opening the EP with some halftime ritualistic drum sounds, "Concern" sets the tone with a hypnotic groove that gradually unfolds into a dense and immersive atmosphere.
