Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Be yourself and do your best to let go of "perfection", it just does not exist. Ride the rhythm not the cue mark. Practice with any two records and/or tracks. Play YOUR beat in the mix, your friendships and with life in general. Less surrender to being salty may not be so cool these days but it will welcome a more patient attitude with yourself and help those that you love.

Settle Live @ Dream/Self Dec 22

The first Patterns of Perception mix of 2023 comes from a luminous presence and dear friend of our collective - label head, mix series curator, promoter and esteemed selector Aaron J (@arn_j).

Over the years, a combination of passion, openness and tireless energy has seen Aaron become a trusted voice for experimental, boundary-pushing electronic music across both the US and the wider scene. 

Founded over eight years ago, Aaron’s much-loved platform @sure_thing is the embodiment of his forward-thinking curation and clarity of vision. Now based in Brooklyn, Sure Thing started as a series of parties in San Francisco before growing outward, later blossoming into a renowned mix series and record label. 

As a DJ, Aaron’s level of empathy and attention-to-detail are unmistakeable, allowing him to deeply connect with the dance floor no matter the context - layering, building and driving emotions ever onwards.

Aaron J's Patterns of Perception 106 is both radiant and personal - an idyllic snapshot of the perfect dance floor, glowing with wide-eyed energy. Pensive darkness simmers into hedonistic psychedelia. Intensity turns reflective. Endless rhythms vibrate and flare into nurturing light.

Patterns of Perception 106 - Aaron J

The light and dark, the fast and slow, the loud and quiet - one cannot exist without the other and opposing qualities, in balance, each bring out the best in life - and often also in music. Berlin-based artist Mareena embodies this interplay perfectly. May it be through her well-built Techno DJ Sets in Clubs all over the world or as Podcast host and Label Owner of the always calming and ever-giving UNRUSH series - Mareena understood the integration of this dualism like few other artists nowadays. A catch-up between Delayed and her was long overdue and our discussion expanded from the 90’ies, over timeless music to the challenges of the life of an artist these days.

This is what Mareena said about the mix:
'I had a lot of ideas for a calm mix. I ended up with a dub techno mix. A genre that is sticking with me since my beginnings. I can't get tired of chords and delays. Since your platform is called “Delayed” it seemed just appropriate ;) The mix is recorded between 115 – 120 BPM. I wanted to create something more chill. A mix you listen to while cooking, having friends over or wandering around the streets. My idea was a deeper psychedelic vibe rather than the usual dance floor music.'

We are releasing the recording of the closing set at the indoor stage on the second day of rural 2024 by Qmico, an organic deep techno DJ who has been active in the Tokyo scene for many years. Slowly and steadily building up her energy, she moved patiently through stages to a big release, and the crowd watched her set with ecstatic expressions. Packed with experimental sound effects, the tracks take the audience on an epic techno space trip through a diverse mix of styles.

都内のシーンで活躍を続けてきた有機的なスタイルのディープテクノDJ、Qmicoによる二日目のIndoorステージのクロージングセットを公開します。ゆっくりと着実にエネルギーを蓄えながら、段階的に大きな解放へと向かい、クラウドは恍惚な表情で彼女のセットを見届けました。実験的な音響効果が詰め込まれた楽曲たちが多様なミックスで繰り広げられる壮大なテクノ宇宙旅行へと案内します。

A self-described "record digging psychopath," Eric Cloutier’s standards are representative of the pre-social media craze and arguably the old adage of letting music speak for itself. Cloutier’s twenty-plus year commitment has been built upon his integrity as a DJ and authority as a selector. His reputation as an unequivocal, dexterous force is increasingly becoming one of note. He’s a DJ for whom quality - above all else - is the watchword.

An hour to give you a glimpse of my opening set at Unfold @ Fold in London on March 2 - 2025. Great memory! Thank you all for dancing.

opening Unfold, London - 02.03.25

Here’s the recording of my eclectic DJ set from Friday evening at Monument Festival 2024. Played during a golden sunset on a warm, beautiful Norwegian summer night in early August, the vibe was pure magic. This set blends dubby deep house, rominimal, house, and tech house — a journey through grooves and textures tailored for that perfect transition from day to night.

Thanks to everyone who danced with me. Hope you enjoy the ride. 🌅✨
