We’re two weeks away from Mostra 2025. Final prep is in full swing, and over here at Delayed, we’re marking the moment with a special one. A two-hour recording from ABSIS—Mostra resident, local legend, and someone who’s been quietly shaping his own corner of the scene for years.

This one’s from Gare Porto, aka the Portuguese tunnel—one of those rare venues where the setting does half the work. ABSIS played alongside Nico and André Cascais for one of the recent Extramostra nights, and what came out of it is something else. A deep, locked-in ride that doesn’t bother with the usual build-and-drop patterns. It’s not about reaching some peak moment—it’s about staying in the zone and letting things unfold naturally. This set is pure spiral techno—deep, hypnotic, and tunnel-vision tight. It moves with that kind of quiet intensity that sneaks up on you. No flash, no filler. Just steady pressure and perfectly measured pacing. Like being pulled along some underground Iberian rail line, eyes closed, body moving on instinct. ABSIS keeps full control from start to finish, guiding the whole thing with an ease that only comes from time and taste.

You can feel the room in the recording—the acoustics of the tunnel, the crowd syncing up, that low-end weight that holds everything together. It’s a full-on experience, even in playback. There’s something about this set that sticks with you. The way it just moves—no big drama, no gimmicks, just pure direction and control. It’s the kind of mix that makes you wish you were there… and also kind of convinces you that you were.

ABSIS doesn’t overstate anything. He doesn’t have to. He locks into a mood and stays there, pulling everyone in with him. And if this set from Gare Porto is any sign of what’s coming—then that closing slot at Vall d’Hebron is going to be serious.

Hold tight. Mostra’s almost here.

With beginnings in early-nineties Midwest rave culture, Sir Fice has an appreciation and deep understanding of techno's history. Influenced early on by Plastikman's "Sheet One", Sir Fice's techno sound has organically progressed from the funky and hard techno of the late 90's, through modern minimal to the refined sound of today merging contemporary digital sounds with analog thump. With 15 years of experience behind the decks, Sir Fice's aggressive mixing style distorts the line between classic and contemporary. His sets span the realms of deep, funky and drugged up house to dark and mental and full on techno. Sir Fice has played alongside techno heavyweights Richie Hawtin, Steve Bug, Maetrik, Ambivalent, Barem, Derek Plaslaiko, Acid Circus, Dilo, Punisher, Robert Armani and more.

As a promoter, his industry roots run just as deep having commandeered several Event Promotions projects over the past decade, most notably with Milwaukee's AudioTribe collective, PROJEKT MKE and Projekt INTL. AudioTribe's successful two-year run of their 'HomeBrew' events laid the groundwork for projekt mke, a collaboration that specialized in bringing world class, boundary pushing techno, house and minimal to the Midwest. Now rebranded as Projekt INTL, the collaborative's efforts have a broader vision for the future of Contemporary American Techno Culture, through national and international promotion and events, a podcast roster of international artists and a passionate goal to raise the profile of avant-garde Techno & House Music in North America.

Listening to techno since 1988. The TB-303 sound was a revelation, back then, and still fascinates me.

Her musical preferences span across experimental compositions, tribal rhythms, mesmerizing melodies, dub-infused techno rhythms, and mentally-driven soundscapes that extend beyond limited aims.
