at dawn on Sunday, Alfonso treated us to 4 hours of music, mingling dub techno and minimal, all slowed down and jammed on vinyl.

"When I arrived at the stage, the sun hadn't risen yet. Mine was the first performance on @klapenunsen stage, and the music from the other stage was still playing in the background. It was a cold morning, and I thought there wouldn't be many people at the beginning, but It was a pleasant surprise when, after the main stage last performance ended, a large crowd gathered and filled the stage even before my music started. 

I performed a minimal dubby techno set, playing both current tracks and classics of the genre. Although I didn’t feel entirely comfortable in the beginning of the set, when I saw people dancing with smiles on their faces, it all made sense. It was a very special moment, and later, when the set ended, it was incredible to have people coming up to talk to me, excited about the performance. It was beautiful preparing a set like this and seeing how the crowd responded to the vibe while the sun rose in that wonderful landscape."

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.

Delayed with... Caldera

The third offering in our mix series is a live recording of Priori and Cousin's dj set at Sustain Release 2024. Recorded on the last morning between 6am and 1pm on what was meant to be an ambient stage, it featured everything a 3 day festival closing set should. Eclectic picks, strange and emotional sounds, dubious transitions and a few feigned endings. Massive thanks to all the dancers, the Sustain staff (Aurora, Ash and everybody else who put their blood, sweat and tears into this), the music makers, the birds, the stars. 

Much love,

P & C

The recording of my recent set at @thelotradio ❄️🦋🌀

For this set I wanted to dive into the realms of lucid dreaming, halftime~trippy~swirly~music for late night driving and moonlit astral travel ~ 

Whilst playing this set it started snowing heavily, and when I stepped outside after the show there was 10cm of snow on the ground! So this mix is also a soundtrack for the soft-coldness of nighttime snowfall 🌙

The Observatory - Romi

We are so excited to welcome Melbourne- based dj, radio host, curator and label head @pjenne to our mix series. 

Pjenne is at the forefront of the Aussie underground scene, a true visionary! Her sound takes many forms and genres but she crafted a unique style that is very much of her own. If you haven’t already listened to her beautifully curated radio show/mix series Passing Notes we highly recommend.  

 “This mix is a live recording of (most of) my set at @terra-obscura-london in London in April last year. I played from 12-2am after Slowfoam and before Oma Totem Live - a time in the night where Ormside projects was transformed from 'soft furnishings' to club. I think the mix represents the music I played a lot across my tour last year (and probably won't stop playing), with an additional emotional sprinkle that was inspired by the work of @avsluta and @aliciasteanson. <3”

This is something that was made around 2014/2015.  I don't have the project, so I couldn't mix it down.  They're the same tune, but one has a kick.
