Perpendicular 2023 - Formant Value (live)

We´re closing the month with 2 sets recorded live at Perpendicular Festival last May plus a live performance by Ameeva performed at Espacio Perpendicular the next week.
Every year in a forest  In the centre of Spain there is a private meeting limited to 180 people with the same purpose as Espacio Perpendicular: the pure enjoyment of underground music. The first live act is by STBL, a wonderful journey that explores subtle ambient territories; after him, Paduan, resident dj at Into the universes parties in Amsterdam, and regular one at Balamii radio in London, carries out a well-driven drone and experimental ambient set. The last hour is for a live performance by Ameeva. A delicate and smooth journey with gentle and hidden melodies, field recordings and ASMR voices

@machines-desirantes :

"I'm happy to share with a larger audience this DJ set that I performed last May at the lost cabin of the self-managed micro festival #perpen24. The musical selection is all about soundtracks that intermingle to create a special score for the occasion. The idea of giving the audience a cinematic experience was well received by a fantastic audience, with a high (and gratifying) commitment, love, and respect towards music and its transmitters. This small perpendicular community let itself be enchanted by this blind film, and it was wonderful. I invite anyone who is interested to experience the same, as always and whenever possible, trying to engage in deep listening without other tasks, alone or in good company... Enjoy!".

Josephine Soundscapes @ Perpendicular 2024

@guisvi and @owen-jay

The project is an ambient performance based on modular synthesizers and rhythmic foundations created with an MPC. The origin of the project came from the exploration and listening to sounds throughout the winter of 2023-2024 in his studio in Malta.

The idea was to use the studio’s machines, keyboards, and modular systems, listening to random sounds coming directly from them. The sounds that resonated with us the most were selected to shape what would become the final live performance.

"Out now: the recording of my DJ set at Perpendicular Festival (for those who know ;) ). This year, I had the opportunity to play on Friday during the first hours of the festival. Keeping in mind that people were just beginning to arrive, the idea of the set was to balance between slow beats, downtempo flavors, and transitions into more dance-oriented movements.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did".

GPVA02 - Grabaciones Perpendiculares [GP02] - SNIPPETS

Some artists manage to carve out a space in your mind with a style so distinct you find yourself constantly returning for more. Over the past year and a half, one name has been on steady rotation here at Delayed: Sciama. Whether it's his original productions or hypnotic mixes, the London-based producer has consistently delivered. His work has earned a home on ASC's outstanding Auxiliary label and, more recently, on Forest Drive West's OODA imprint.

Today's feature is a special treat, a thrilling journey through Sciama's set from this year's Perpendicular festival. Our ongoing collaboration continues to shine a spotlight on the freshest talent and cutting-edge mixes, and this is no exception. This is Sciama at his most exhilarating: a 130-minute thrill ride recorded late at night deep in a Spanish forest. Packed with polyrhythmic wizardry that straddles the line between halftime and techno, it's a rollercoaster of tension and explosive release points carried by a relentless groove, impossible to resist.

This is a set to get lost in, move to, and feel visceral. It's crème de la crème DJing from one of our favorites. Hats off, Sciama; it's great to have you back.

As we gently slide into Autumn and the days get shorter and evenings cosier, we are excited to share with you the next chapter of our Podcast Series by the Amsterdam-based artists Paduan 🧙🏼‍♂️

Paduan is Patric Kimman, DJ and curator with firmly rooted attraction to the deeper side of electronic music. He is most at home playing musically meandering sets filled with drone textures and subtle melodies, with hints of concrète elements and natural sounds, a sonic direction that persists both in his monthly radio show on London’s Balamii as well as the event series Into the Universes he co-curates back home in Amsterdam 🐚

Patric’s contribution to the Introspective Electronics Podcast Series is a live recording from this year’s Perpendicular festival, an annual gathering of fellow deep music lovers in the beautiful nature of central Spain. This journey takes us on a pensive stargazing adventure across vast ambient planes cloaked with blanket of dark blue sky full of twinkling stars above ✨

Onyro x Ouroboros presents Omoiyari w/ Vardae, Sindh, Toé Verveine and R-010

Omoiyari (思いやり) is a Japanese concept that roughly translates to "consideration" or "empathy." It embodies the idea of being aware of others' feelings and needs without them having to express them explicitly. It’s a philosophy of life where one acts with kindness and respect, anticipating what might make others feel comfortable and valued.

Mission District #01 @ Espacio perpendicular
@f-ondj
@brokenl00p

One tribe, one rhythm, one heart
The 90s and early 2000s in Madrid were defined by a sound that sat somewhere between house and techno, dub and acid. Clubs like WEEKEND with Roberto Rodríguez, or Midday and The Room, led by Ángel García with guests like Garth or Swag, paved the way. The influence of the West Coast sound from the U.S. and European house with dub and tech-house reminiscences captivated us from the DJ booths of these legendary clubs in the Spanish capital.

The first rotary mixers started appearing, rhythms slowed down, and transitions became longer, giving DJs a new kind of artistic presence that hadn’t been seen before. This was pure artistry, and yes, the drugs were good, too. Fridays and Sundays, the tribe would gather to soak up the freshest sounds—the avant-garde.

Mission District is just a neighborhood in San Francisco, yet it shares a deep connection with Madrid. The same spirit was in the air, at the same time, with the same gurus shaping the scene.

This is not a "remember" session. This is not a tribute. We could never do it better than it was done back then. We simply want to dust off those records, blend them with equally special sounds being produced today, and let them breathe again.

As with most niche trends, some of these records might sound aged—or perhaps still incredibly modern.

About the mix

Nicoló & Tomasso say:

"About our live hybrid set
We conceived our performance with storytelling practices in mind, starting with the idea of creating an atmosphere from which we developed our musical narration. You can hear this aspect at the beginning of our hybrid set, where the combination of ambient/dub sounds and field recordings aims to create an introductory and more neutral soundscape. After this kind of incubating phase, we embarked on our musical journey, merging more dramatic vibes with warm, meditative sounds. From there, we gradually introduced rhythmic patterns, with some tribalistic touches, to increase the energy and reach the climax in the final phase, culminating in a special drone dedication to Laurie Anderson.

It felt really being like home playing at Temple #8 (@espacio-perpendicular), such a warm atmosphere and lovely people! The feeling of appreciation and involvement left us with some amazing memories!"

"Do you mean this: that the river is everywhere at once? At its source and at its mouth, at the waterfall, at the pool, at the rapids, in the sea, in the mountains, everywhere at the same time? And that for it, there is only the present, and it knows nothing of the shadow of the future?"
(Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse)

The river was the concept behind our recent collaborative LP, and in a way, it also shaped how we approached our Live set for Temple. A moment of retreat by the side of any river, from which different sounds and melodies flow, inviting us to focus on the here and now, leaving behind all the everyday noise we carry with us.

Many thanks to Temple for making it possible, and to Espacio Perpendicular for being the perfect setting for it.

"What truly inspired me? Just the chance to play at Temple… and the fact that it happened to be my dear friend Josephine’s birthday. That alone made it feel really special. I knew that with such a meaningful occasion, a sold-out night was guaranteed—so I had to show up fully, mostly for myself.

Then, when you told me I’d be closing, and that you were feeling downtempo vibes… a whole universe of possibilities opened up. I started thinking about tracks I hadn’t played anywhere else before.

With this kind of set, I always try to open things up stylistically—because the moment asks for it."

About the mix

Utopian says:
"This set was built around low BPM music, including some ambient techno gems from the ’90s. I played many tracks at their original speed, around 105 BPM, but slowed others down considerably. I don’t know what it is about this pitch range, but I absolutely love it. I think it’s a kind of techno with a special pedigree—almost magical. Maybe it’s because there isn’t a huge amount of it out there, and it’s hard to find, but what does exist is simply incredible.

That’s why I really enjoy creating a dense atmosphere, with wide, spacious basslines or trance-infused acid touches, sometimes drifting toward full-on trance or dub techno. While the session didn’t turn out perfect, in terms of selection, it’s one of my favorites.

That’s why it was such a pleasure to play it for all my friends at Temple, whom I admire so much. ♥️"

@vinnavaldyr dj set Grabado en Qualia -  12/04/25  - Espacio Perpendicular

Nada surge meramente de lo complejo, igual que nada es exclusivamente una estructura. Qualia no es solo un evento: es una experiencia en transformación, un espacio donde la creación y la transmisión dan forma a algo único e irrepetible.

Aquí, el instante se convierte en lo esencial. No se trata de cuánto, sino de qué y cómo. Torrentes de energía fluyen a través de diversos medios, donde cada percepción individual moldea y amplifica la experiencia colectiva. Porque aunque nos veamos a menudo, siempre es especial.
