There is a running joke at the Delayed headquarters that our blog's name is not just a sound processing effect but a way of life for all of our teammates: we eventually arrive where we're aiming to go, but we do take our sweet time getting there.  There is "fashionably late" and then there is "delayed"!  To say that Moon Patrol has been fashionably late to release their debut track would be a huge understatement: I could most certainly create an entire mix from all ideas and sounds that ended up on the cutting room floor, as Irina and Gilles, the dynamic duo behind Moon Patrol and founders of our blog, honed in their craft and sculpted their sound.  Pretty melodies gave way to groovy house-y ditties which, in turn, receded to allow more textural experimentations and atmospheric deep dives.  Only to end up on the cutting room floor.  Not good enough? Of course they were, but "not quite there".  And now, finally, the moment has arrived where both artists have put down their Ableton controllers, listened to their creation and proclaimed "'Tis time!"..or, perhaps, "Moofter!".  
The track is a culmination of a long journey and it shows: it's balanced, mature and deftly conveys what both artists are trying to say.  It envelops without sounding grand; it's aurally complex without sounding experimental; it's engaging without resorting to a catchy melody.  It has that elusive of qualities in electronic music: it's organic and it just flows.  To say that Moon Patrol's Moofter is fashionably late would be to insult the exhaustive artistic and creative search that occurred prior to its release. Therefore, we can only say one thing about Moon Patrol: "it's delayed".

"Moofter" is part of On Board Music's "The Meaning Of Time part III" charity compilation set to be released on June 4h.

PREMIERE: Moon Patrol - Moofter [On Board Music]

It's hard to dedicate good amounts of time to listening to physical records, so when I had a few hours this afternoon, I decided to play some of my most recent records that have been piling up on my "unfiled" shelf (everyone has one of those, right? just in, unorganized, unplayed, etc?!)I hit the record button without any destination in mind, and ported it into 9128.live (as I often do in these ad-hoc instances) and set forth with no agenda. It starts a little unsure in style, as I try to feel where I want to take it, and a few dodgy transitions for not knowing the records too well yet, but the universe quickly pushes me into an IDM/synth-heavy world.

and the novelty goes on: mule musiq welcomes another fresh producer to its vast catalogue of music from all around.
 
this time andro gogibedashvili aka saphileaum. he is coming from tbilisi, georgia and already released an impressive body of work, considering he just publishes music since 2016.
 
countless eps and albums, digital, on tape, documenting his feverish creative urge on labels like not not fun records, good morning tapes, diffuse reality, or vodkast. they cover a comprehensive stylistic range from ambient and downtempo to tribal, house, and techno nuances.
 
a deeper shade of soul, precisely fashioned, growing from different playgrounds of inspiration. he was born into a musical family.
 
as a kid he studied georgian folk. in his school rock band, he sang, and the guitar was his love. then electronic music called the tune, and techno hit his heart.
 
in the midst of it all the 26-year-old never lost contact with his spiritual home. “i find deep inspiration in georgian myths and legends, occultism and esoteric teachings, lost civilizations, earth, unity, truth, information, and the secrets of the universe. these things, to name a few, inspire me daily and help me create the music I make.” saphileaum reveals.
 
“exploring together”, his debut album for mule, navigates all these elements through a merry-go-round of gentle driven rhythm zones. fourth-world spheres, balearic tropes, field recording zones, tropical downbeat, tribal percussions, trancing sounds, balafon hums, mallet airs, hooky house – it’s all there, circling the eavesdropper into a dreamland of melodic undercurrents.
“my loops come from tribal and cosmic inspirations. tribal, as below, and cosmic as above. the combination of these two, is very interesting to me”, he clarifies, while joking “but, to put it super simply, loops are super handy for djing”.
 
which brings us to the final promotion of “exploring together” - it’s playability. its vast. multifunctional. spiritual. made for gatherings, were all dance time away. lost in music actions, only touched by the hand of rhythm and sound. his ten tracks are created for such flashes, wide spreading a musical narration of illuminating durability. “cosmic, relaxing, fun, tribal, and mystic.”, as saphileaum declares.

Hanuš is out now from @stereoscenic :
https://dreone.bandcamp.com/album/hanu

Digipack with a hard-book style cover, 7mm spine. Glass-mastered CD with paper inner-sleeve is held in a printed sleeve (3mm spine) glued to the inside of the book. Edition of 100.

Also streaming:

Hanuš is a holistic collection of remembrance and reflection of my late friends John and Jacob, both of which are the names of the main characters in the film Spaceman which coincidentally became a deep inspiration while writing, recording and forming its concept. The overall theme of the Dreone project (as some may already know from Driftdown Procedure) is that the souls and spirit of my fallen companions live within the systems of a sentient spacecraft and its humanoid manifestation/android, the notion of which allows me the mental freedom to explore the cosmos through music and be a bit more experimental with my sound. This album in particular is about them traveling together through the echoes of memories and the loneliness of space to witness the beginning and end of everything, leading the listener to acceptance through catharsis. 

Gear used on this album includes, Arturia Mini and Microfreak, Arturia Pigments, Tascam 414 MKII tape loops, Luftrum Bioscape, ESP LTD MH-400 B Baritone guitar, Collision Devices Blackhole Symmetry, and Bitwig.

Read our interview with Grant Aaron here: https://www.patternsofperception.com/post/a-chat-with-grant-aaron

The first time Grant Aaron (@insideout) went to an event with a chill-out room, everything clicked into place. It was the beginning of a long love affair with ambient and experimental music, with its sparsity and often beat-less nature leaving plenty of room for the imagination to take over. Grant went on to take up DJing in chill-out spaces himself before founding the influential platform Mysteries of the Deep in New York a decade ago. Initially a podcast, Mysteries has evolved over time into an event series and record label, and has established itself as one of the most revered sources for ambient music, both online and offline.

2021 is shaping up to be as busy a year as any other for Mysteries: there are releases in the works from Christina Chatfield (@anitserk), Mosam Howieson (@mos-how) and Grant’s label partner Oliver Chapoy (@ohm_sweet_ohm), plus plans to bring back the podcast after a brief hiatus. In the midst of this busy schedule, Grant took the time to showcase his cinematic, storytelling-driven style for our own podcast, with a mix recorded in a dense New York winter and inspired by the dampening of sound that comes with heavy snowfall.

Of the concept of his Patterns of Perception 80, Grant says: “The last eight or nine months have been some of the most difficult that I’ve been through in several years. A lot of it has to do with my work situation, which has been incredibly challenging and pushed me to rethink many things in my life. Then you have the pandemic, which has been this overarching theme for so many, most just trying to get through each day. But then there are these rays of light. I always try to be optimistic and hopeful about stuff, even when that can be really tough, so while this mix is very solemn, there are rays of light coming through.”
