We’ve been on a roll lately at Delayed, with the caliber of mixes coming our way steadily raising the bar. Today, we’re thrilled to feature a mix from a familiar name: our friend Malte Schumann, known to many as Caldera, the German producer hailing from Brighton. His production work consistently brings a unique spark, and that same artistry comes through when he takes control of the decks. Some artists refuse to settle into a single genre, and when approached with skill, this can be one of their greatest strengths. Caldera’s set showcases just that, steering clear of predictability and embracing the freedom to explore.

What we have here is an expertly crafted mix, technically sharp and atmospherically rich, with a track selection that perfectly balances exploration and coherence. It’s a dynamic journey through the best facets of electronic music, with a strong lean towards groovy, tribal, off-kilter techno. Starting off on a mellow and organic note, the set gradually builds momentum, morphing almost imperceptibly until it’s carrying an irresistible energy. The transitions are seamless, the flow is natural, and every shift feels deliberate.
This one deserves a spot on your essential listening list. It reminds you how thoughtful curation can transform a set into something that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
