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]

Following on from releasing on the various artists compilation on 3024 - “It Was Always There Vol 1”, Planète returns with a long awaited 4 track exploring new territories and sound landscapes.

Shuffling away from straight grooves of earlier muses, Planète takes time to explore the irregular pulses of broken beat rhythms whilst maintaining introspective colour on this new EP. Central to the messages in his explorations, "Eternal Now" represents a reconfiguration of sonic interpretation and reflection.

Opener 'Stony Creek Reserve' rattles and throbs, consuming a poly-rhythmic bass bedrock and dubbed stabs with crisp and glitched crackles whilst 'Passing Through' lightens the deep with a skipping kick drum and memorable percussion melodies guided by an anchored bass hit.

On the flip, echoing and spooky wooden hits fill the terrain whilst stark bass movements in 'Meteor' rain and mutate a broken techno groove. Closing up, allowing the energy to release, 'Eternal Now' gives rise to vast space in reverberated strikes and wobbled stabs under the hood of slow thuds and thin hisses.

This return shows versatility and growth in sonic descriptions, edging towards a bridge of found sounds and clinical club music. His latest contribution shows the breadth and current appetite for bass centric curations and meticulous high frequency attention refining his signature for evolving storytelling.

DIEHARD

The water was calm and still. The fountain which sat perched amidst the middle of the pond was beautifully illuminated by the glow of flickering lights and beaming golden tapestry. Sat perched upon a bench she watched the people walk past, very few even glanced towards the the magnificent feature. They were absorbed in their own little worlds, busy distracted by ambitious prospects and bothersome thoughts. The bench was cold beneath her weight as she perched, this was the same spot that she had visited for many years. It always felt like home. 

Sevensol & Bender are the enigmatic duo behind KANN, a label which has been home to the likes of Traumprinz, Llewellyn, Sven Tasnadi and more. The pair have contributed a number of EP's themselves to the label, however their latest might be the most special to date. A truly beautiful EP set for release on the 16th of February next month.

The origins of Front de Cadeaux can be traced back to a dating site for bears, some ten years ago. After Maurizio had spotted a Felix Kubin poster on one of Ugo's pictures, the two started chatting. Very much intrigued, Ugo invited Maurizio, who lives in Brussels, to play at a festival he organised in Rome. Shortly thereafter Ugo made Maurizio a resident of his Subwoofer night, one of the first bear parties in Europa that existed outside of the mainstream bear realm.

The two bonded over food of course, over their belief that dance culture is rotting from the inside, and even more over slow, heavy electronic music. You have to picture it: a flat in Brussels, a table with empty bowls and bottles, thick smoke and these two daddy dj’s listening to stacks and stacks of UK rave and breakbeat records on 33 instead of 45 rpm. Testing how deep and sexy these garbage records sound at a pace the bears can actually follow without dropping dead – Ugo & Maurizio baptised it ‘supreme rallentato’.

During those early encounters, their decade long dj experience merged into one, just like their vision that dance culture urgently needs a revolution. To them that means playing 90 bpm in a club at 3am whilst the promoters are shitting themselves, showing everyone that the body follows the groove, and not the bpm, a capitalist and macho construct that’s making crowds go numb instead of making them dance.

Around 2013, they officially started collaborating as Front de Cadeaux, referring to the Italian way of pronouncing Front 242, the Belgian EBM legends. “Le pédé BPM” (the bpm gay), their first release, followed one year later, with a Fabrizio Mammerella remix that kind of became an anthem in some circles. It's at the same time a celebration of their love for a slower groove as it is a queer manifesto, dissociating themselves from the mainstream gay culture in big cities, dominated by a horrible attitude and bad taste both in music and style. Second single “Infodrogue” came about after the drug line Maurizio worked at, stopped operating after midnight. Backed up by a bubbling bassline, it's telling the sad tale of a junk calling in and no-one answering. The references to culture and real life are everywhere, be it in the track titles of later releases – “Ouvre ta bouche” is a joke about Kate Bush, “Cogitate” a hommage to lsd wizard John C. Lilly – or their sound, which is impregnated by psyche music, mushrooms, dub, triphop and space rock.
Coming hot on the heels of the collaboration ep with long time friend Fabrizio Mamarella earlier this year, featuring their two oldest singles appearing on vinyl for the first time, came Front de Cadeaux’ new 12” on EMET records. “We slowly rot” is a manifesto and an epistemological breakdown of standard, empty club music, for in order to reconnect with what it should be about, our whole idea of dance music has to be deconstructed. As Front de Cadeaux militantly puts it: “every act of the human being is about transformation through destruction”.
