Fantástic Set Yuddy Ash Congratulations 🙏❤️💛🩶

Cio D’Or hardly requires an introduction, having long stood as both a pillar of our scene and a source of inspiration for so many. Over the course of her singular and decades-spanning career, the Cologne-based artist has cultivated a universe of sound entirely her own, immediately recognizable yet endlessly evolving much like the work of her contemporaries and collaborators Mike Parker and Donato Dozzy. To experience Cio’s music is to follow a throughline that traces the complex history of contemporary techno in a single gesture, compelled by the vast unknown and the primordial familiar in equal measure. Recalling the blurred realism of Richter’s photo-paintings or the timeless intricacy of Bach’s fugues, Cio’s self-contained sonic world delicately reframes our own precious lifecycle, a reflection revealed through its elegant and subtractive minimalism.

In collaboration with our friends at Mostra, I’m honored to share a selection from Cio D’Or’s set performed at this year’s edition of the Barcelona-based festival, a sublime triumph from a scholar of sound.

Sure Thing Mix 146: Cio D'Or

Ilya Semashkevich is a Belarusian-Polish composer, sound engineer, and multidisciplinary artist born in 1997 in Brest. His practice merges electronic and acoustic composition, live performance, improvisation, and visual expression. With a background in jazz, sound production, and experimental music, he works across genres such as ambient, idm, trance, house, and contemporary classical. His approach treats sound as both structure and form, a tool for perception, memory, and artistic thinking. Influenced by lo-fi aesthetics, minimalism, and sonic spatiality, Semashkevich explores the concept of “Imaginative Mixing”, aural equivalents of visual composition.

Ilya had to say the following about this live-recording: "For me, this live performance became a release of accumulated thoughts about home life and the art of “dirty listening.”
Life runs, flows, flies, crawls, stands still.
And I sit, walk, float, watch.
In hot or frosty, gray or yellow days - coziness makes me stronger.
Listening to this recording on a proper sound system will, of course, be great, but even through your phone speakers, you won’t lose its essence."

☉ Palpebræ Label Mix 03: Greyscale [mixed by grad_u]

Read the interview here: https://palpebrae.com/behind-the-label-greyscale

☉ About Greyscale:
Founded in Vilnius in the early 2010s, Greyscale has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary dub techno. Built on the dialogue between sound and image, the label treats music as a form of visual and emotional architecture — where atmosphere, patience, and depth replace immediacy.

Each release is conceived as a complete artwork: analog photography, tactile design, and meticulously curated sound come together to form a cohesive identity. Over time, Greyscale has evolved into a global platform representing more than 150 artists, united by a shared devotion to timeless and introspective electronic music.

☉ About grad_u:
grad_u (Aleksandr Martinkevič) is a Vilnius-based DJ, producer, and label owner, widely recognized as one of the key figures in the modern deep and dub techno scene. Active for over two decades, he has shaped a career that bridges multiple roles — from local DJ to international tastemaker — while maintaining a distinctive and coherent sonic identity.
Originally rooted in d’n’b, his artistic direction shifted after hearing Fluxion’s Prospect II, a transformative moment that steered him toward the immersive depths of dub techno. Since then, his sound — suspended between natural landscapes and urban geometries — has evolved through the use of analog textures, tape recording, and a painterly approach to production.

In 2012, he founded Redscale, his first vinyl-only label, created to host his own work and soon acclaimed worldwide. Yet it was with the launch of Greyscale that grad_u expanded his vision into a fully realized curatorial project. With more than 80 releases and contributions from artists across six continents, Greyscale’s Mood Series has become one of the genre’s most respected and enduring catalogues — a global meeting point for established and emerging producers alike.

Beyond his work as a producer and curator, grad_u continues to perform across Europe, bringing his immersive and meticulously crafted sound to clubs and festivals. His presence stands as a testament to a lifelong exploration of techno’s spatial and emotional dimensions.

Interview

Palpebræ Label Mix 03: Greyscale [mixed by grad_u]

Kyoto-based DJ and producer Yuddy Ash has been steadily finding his voice over the past few years. Following a series of online appearances and a collaboration with silkscreen. on GIFKIKKER, he now joins the Delayed with series with a mix that favors movement through restraint, using rhythm as a thread rather than a tool of impact.

Across sixty-one minutes, it unfolds with a steady pulse, subtle shifts, and a lightness in tone. It’s a late-night listen that moves from deep low-end flow to airy percussion. The transitions are soft, almost invisible, yet the direction remains clear, a quiet reminder that less can still move plenty.

Zemög - 24th October 2025

Âsan is back on home ground with a recording from this year’s annual upstate gathering hosted by the @itsdelayed crew. It’s his third appearance on the Cellar Door podcast and his second set from the place we’ve all come to know as The Barn. As a friend once said, “go to the barn and forget everything,” and that couldn’t ring truer.

Recorded live, this mix captures Âsan closing out Friday night after an incredible set from a dear friend and the man behind "Sundays For.." series @huedj. The energy carried deep into the night, blending warmth, tension, and release in equal measure — a journey that felt both spontaneous and familiar. It's an evolving snapshot of a moment shared under those familiar wooden beams with some of the most amazing people this place brings together.

Enjoy
