Last Friday marked an exciting milestone for our burgeoning record label, Never Late. We proudly unveiled the inaugural chapter of our musical journey, an awe-inspiring masterpiece brought to life by none other than one of our imprint's co-founders, the illustrious Griff Fulton, known to many as Aspetuck. As we embark on this exciting venture, each forthcoming release will be accompanied by a tantalizing blend of music, an intimate interview, and an exploration into the creative realms of the artists who will be the torchbearers of Never Late.

While it's admittedly challenging to remain entirely objective about this first mix, we can confidently say that it showcases Aspetuck's most refined work behind the decks to date. This mix is a masterclass in balance, serving as an ideal sonic bridge from day into night, perfectly tailored for an unforgettable party experience. The initial segment gracefully explores the realms of stylish, deep, and melodic house, punctuated by enchanting breaks that evolve midway through the journey into a groovy, intricate tapestry of tribalistic late-night rhythms.

We couldn't have dreamt of a more fitting inception for our Never Late saga. As we embark on this musical expedition, we eagerly anticipate presenting you with an array of outstanding new music and brilliant artists with whom we'll have the privilege to collaborate. Join us as we begin on this extraordinary voyage into the heart of music, where every note and beat is a testament to the passion and dedication that drives Never Late and its remarkable artists forward.

Never Late x Delayed: Aspetuck

This week, in our "Delayed with..." series, we're veering into the house music lane. Just as the sun starts to linger a bit longer, Kaap, a core member of Amsterdam-based collective De Lichting, guides us through a journey of classic house tunes perfectly suited for these "still shy" but splendidly sunny days. 
It's a trip back to NYC's legendary Cielo in the early 2000s, where DJs pushed perfectly tuned Funktion-One sound system to its limits on nights like this. Remember those epic breakdance battles erupting in the middle of the floor? Yeah, that's the energy Kaap captures.
With Kaap at the helm, expect a pulse-quickening, mood-lifting mix tailor-made for your next rooftop rendezvous.

introspection

ɪntrə(ʊ)ˈspɛkʃn/

noun
the examination or observation of one’s own mental and emotional processes.

Loss. Grief. Immeasurable Joy. 

2024 has been full of these emotions.

Confusion - Exploration - Re-Discovery

Being absent, removed by many kilometres and time zones, has felt strange in a year of such substantial change. Important milestones, devastating loss, moments of astounding joy, all experienced through a veil of isolation. 

Missing loved ones back home and abroad, whilst making life-long friendships and enduring memories in a new home is an interesting feeling. To simultaneously feel so accepted and cared for in new ventures, whilst desperately longing for the known, leads to confusion and contradicting emotions. 

Since moving to the UK, I have consumed more music than ever before. However, in the turbulence of living abroad, I have never felt more disconnected from music and how I want to present it. Something that is so creative and enjoyable, revealing of one's current sense of self, has never felt more intimidating. Confidence is key, and it has been something I have struggled with during this period. 

In this 2hr mix, recorded on a rainy and cold Saturday afternoon in London, I move away from my usual techno offering. I have been sitting on this collection of music for the better part of a year and a half. The music presented in this mix marks the wide variety of emotions felt during this time. 

The way in which we connect with music is often different, moments where I aim to convey sadness may elicit feelings of joy, but this is where the beauty of music lies; the individuality of self-expression, and connection. 

This is not a moment of self-pity, but rather a step towards a positive future. I have learned a lot about myself, and in truth, about music, in these two years.

I hope in listening to this mix, you are supported to reflect on what 2024 has meant to you. 

Expect low-slung grooves, contemplative vocals, and dubbed out minimal loops. 

Enjoy.
