The first Far Blue concept of 2023 is delivered by @boaksi. 

“This mix was recorded digitally and on vinyl in wintery Zürich. It features past and present favourites of mine, as well as future sounds I wish to take the direction of my music into. It is inspired by some of the great memories I had in 2022. I was very lucky to work with many artists that have influenced me for a long time, and I was overjoyed by the moments created together with my friends on project indigo. As 2023 comes around, I hope to continue experiencing these special times.”

A big part of why we do what we do at Delayed is to create a platform for like-minded artists as well as connect in a worldwide community with music lovers who also appreciate a more soothing sound. It’s a best case that we are now able to feature Hame, an artist that comes straight from this community. He appeared in 2022 with his first release, “Compathy” on Lola Haro’s new born label Small Steps - and immediately touched listeners, bookers and us. Unsurprisingly he got booked for a live set at DOEL Festival and we strongly believe that all of you shall get to know the Amsterdam-based artist and get an impression of his approach, journey and of course, his music.

Delayed with... Hame

From Oakland with love comes the 50th submission in the mix series comes by the hand of prolific producer and deejay Space Ghost (@space-ghost-1). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hey Sudi. How's life in California, what's been keeping you busy?

SG: Hey, not much! Just trying to enjoy the summer with friends and get in the studio when I can.

MFM: Looking at your discography it seems that you favor the LP over the EP format, having released well over a dozen albums. How come?

SG: I can’t say that I favor one over the other, just seems that as a musician you strive to write full length LPs. I enjoy LPs for home listening and it feels good to create a nice body of work that flows through a journey. Writing dance singles and eps are trickier for me. It feels harder to write 1-4 really good stand alone songs.

MFM: With such a prolific output, does writing music come easily to you? Can you tell us a bit about how you go about writing and recording, is there a certain flow or method?

SG: Hmm I wouldn’t necessarily say it comes comes easy but I’ve definitely gotten a lot better at getting ideas in my head out into my recordings. It’s still a process of getting into the studio and spending time on it. Sometimes I can spend a whole day or two just spinning my wheels and not being able to get my ideas out. But once I get that perfect dose of creativity and I’m in the right mood, then things can definitely start flowing out. When writing music I often need to start with a very specific idea based on a song I’m listening to at the time. It’s helpful for me to start out with that initial inspiration, whether some chords, style of drums, bassline or a tempo or something. Once I get a few elements working around that idea the song can start to morph and move in any direction, but I really need that specific direction to start. I find that I can often make a rudimentary idea fairly quickly this way and then if it’s inspiring me, I’ll start to try a little bit harder and flush out more of the idea.

MFM: How do you cope with not being inspired or motivated when in the studio?

SG: Honestly it can be a bummer to be in the studio and the ideas aren’t flowing. I’ll just have to step away and do something totally unrelated for a few days.

MFM: Your sound overall has a very soft and melodic touch. The mellow part may be from living close to the Pacific and nature, but where does the melodic part come from? Did you ever learn how to read and play notes?

SG: You know I’m really not sure if I can pinpoint my melodies and where they came from but ya I grew up taking music lessons of all sorts. Piano, drums, guitar, band class, all that stuff. I wasn’t the best at reading music, I learned basic stuff but eventually didn’t progress much farther. Now everything I do is by feel.

MFM: Is there some kind of masterplan for Space Ghost? Like, do you have certain goals to achieve or dreams to chase?

SG: I think my master plan would involve me getting to focus on writing music full time. Honestly I’m not really sure how to get there specifically, seems like everyone gets there on their own path so hopefully mine will end up there as well.

MFM: Tell us about the mix. How did you go about selecting and recording it? Does it have a certain theme or idea to it?

SG: I’ve been wanting to put out a nice lil ambient sort of electronic mix for awhile. Really soft deep introspective vibes. I’ve been holding on to a lot of these tunes for awhile and just listening to my playlist of ambient tunes while traveling or relaxing with friends. After coming back from my NZ/Australian tour, I was ready to play some non dance music for a sec and listen to some other stuff. This mix is just a nice break from DJing a party. I also really want to make an ambient album soon if I have the time, so there are a lot inspirations in this mix.

Today, we share with you Mandarín's perception of Far Blue. Besides being an artist who puts together beautiful selections, we got familiar with Mandarín as a pivotal part of the community in the first place. A name who always pops up everywhere, and someone who has a vast musical knowledge by being so invested in everything that is put out by other artists and platforms. It only made sense to ask her to create a mix that represents her feelings of Far Blue, as she has been part of the process for a long time now. An artist that truly understands where Far Blue comes from, which she showcases in a versatile one hour and thirty one minutes mix.

'Yet, in a stillness a flicker of hope,
a promise of solace, a way to cope.
For even as red skies fade and elope,
new dreams emerge, with boundless scope'

Soela, a multi-talented artist based in Berlin, has been on radar ever since she released a critically acclaimed LP “Genuine Silk” on our beloved Dial Records earlier this year. Album on Dial is just a cherry on the top that came after several successful releases on labels like Detroit Underground, FauxPas Music, and Kompakt, to name a few. 
When in the studio or behind the decks, Soela likes to explore all electronic music corners, ranging from downtempo to deep house to techno and beyond. The mix Soela made for us is a special one. Full of twist and turns, Soela takes us to a journey through Dub Techno, Electronica, Trip-Hop, Deep House, and Ambient. Very well executed, this mix is a phenomenal companion for your next car ride or downtime at home.
