Al Blayney @ Perpendicular 2025

Madrid's F-on is a much beloved figure within the Spanish scene, known for his elegant all-vinyl sets and curation behind the brilliant Alpenglühen label among so much more. We stayed in touch after his particularly beautiful set at 2017’s Paral·lel Festival, and I've been looking forward to one day sharing this episode of the series since. Alfonso’s mix is uncanny in its precision and demonstrates a prowess behind the decks that few can match, a soft palette built through veteran and timeless selection. Two hours in and out of focus like rippling dust through which the flow of time slows, a stasis in the stream. Thanks Alfonso!

Bas Dobbelaer - Perpendicular 2025

The fire at the center of the floor was more signal than warmth against the countryside chill. Sparks shot upward into the night as dancers circled around, bodies locked into the pulse spilling from the booth. Above Below Festival thrives on these elemental juxtapositions: a rural valley transformed into a site of intensity, a cocoon-like booth channeling waves of sound that felt larger than the space itself. With every kick drum, the edges of the night blurred, and for hours the crowd existed in a suspended orbit around light, heat, and rhythm.

It was here that Timesplitters, Jake and Pat, took hold. Their set drove forward on cavernous bass, but the force alone wasn’t what bound the floor; it was the shifting mid-range voices, synth lines and melodic sequences mutating like smoke from the fire, wrapping dancers in a narrative of tension and release. They approached the set less as selectors and more as authors, tracing the night with a balance of discipline and wildness. Despite their name, there was no split in time, only the sense of one continuous current, shared in firelight, smiles, and unbroken motion.

Delayed x Above Below: Timesplitters

vcr is a Brussels-based DJ, composer, and co-founder of GIMIC Radio, known for crafting immersive soundscapes that blur the boundaries between genres. With a sharp ear for spatial composition and an instinctive sense for rhythm, vcr weaves together techno, tribal motifs, minimal sounds, and trance into hypnotic, evolving narratives.

As a co-founder of GIMIC Radio, vcr also plays an active role in nurturing Brussels’ underground scene, creating platforms for artists and fostering a sense of community around."


“For this mix, I really enjoyed digging and finding tracks that spoke to me without setting too many boundaries in terms of genre. I wanted to let things flow naturally, to follow a feeling rather than a structure. There’s a strong presence of 90s cuts throughout — records that carry mind-trip energy, nostalgica, expensive and deep sounds, which felt right for this one.”

VC-118A Live set recorded on Saturday, 20th of September 2025 at BOSC - A short story by Paral·lel in Gualba, Spain.

VC-118A Live @ BOSC 2025

This week we present a recording by the  ever-so-lovely @o-utlier who recently released on Animalia, a prolific producer from Ireland - at Mostra Festival, Barcelona 2025.

ani/live Seventy Six: o.utlier @ Mostra, 2025

Some collaborations feel orchestrated. This one felt inevitable. Reeko and Mostra share a certain DNA - innovative, uncompromising, with an appetite for risk. One’s a festival, the other a force of nature, but both operate outside the usual margins. So when Reeko stepped into the cavernous Pavelló Olímpic on the final day of Mostra 2025, the match didn’t need explaining. After three days of sonic overstimulation, the crowd could’ve easily slipped into post-peak autopilot. Instead, something sparked.

Reeko played with the confidence of someone who doesn’t need to raise his voice to be heard. He didn’t grab attention, instead he tuned the room to his frequency. No spectacle, just sustained pressure. The kind that doesn’t shout, but hums somewhere in your bones. From the first mix, he had total control, not just over tempo, but over tension, perception, direction. It wasn’t peak-time euphoria. It was something colder, sharper, more elemental.

What happened on that floor wasn’t mystical, and it wasn’t romantic. It was human circuitry, bodies moving like they’d been rewired. A dance floor fully switched on. In a festival stacked with standout sets, this one kept floating to the surface in post-Mostra conversations. We’re proud to share this recording. It was special. Now it’s permanent.

Delayed x Mostra: Reeko

Voltaic. Relentless. Precision-cut.
Crossfire is dark, high-tension techno built as a duel in sound — two lead motifs colliding over a steel-framed low-end, trading blows between impact and release. The groove is locked, the transients are razor-clean, and the bass tail is sculpted for clarity rather than mud or hype.

The track moves like a controlled detonation: tightly wound build-ups, pressure-point drops, and surgical automation across the stereo field. Metallic perc, gated atmospheres, and morphing synth lines weave in and out of each other like opposing forces locked in a stand-off — aggressive, but never sloppy; cinematic, but never overdecorated.

Intent: a focused burst of energy for peak moments — a weapon for darker floors that still carries the premium, minimal, and intelligent DNA of the MIGU universe.

Chapter I — Fracture & Form
Within the first MIGU chapter, Crossfire is the trial by impact — the moment where everything forged so far is tested under pressure. Instinct (Basic Instinct), shadow (Nightmare), and light (Afterlight) have already shaped the core; Hexforge has given it form. Crossfire asks a simple question at full volume: can that form hold when opposing forces collide? The answer — and the final choice — lives in Never Look Back.

Specs for DJs:
• BPM: 128
• Key: F# minor (update if different)
• Length: 5:00

Crossfire

There was a meme circling the internet at some point saying, “People who show you new music are important.” Connecting with Axymt, a Lyon-based DJ and music aficionado, feels exactly like that. It is like meeting someone who speaks your dialect of obsession, where recommending a track is almost a form of autobiography. His work with atmós sphaîra, Monochrome, and the Ouroboros crew carries the rare consistency of someone who pulls from many corners yet curates with a firm sense of direction. You can sense the collector’s instinct in the way he folds tribal percussion into dub-leaning atmospheres and in the way groove becomes a kind of compass, guiding the set without ever feeling decorative.

For this edition of Delayed with, he eases into a slow-moving techno ritual that feels deceptively simple on the surface. The BPMs sit low enough to let the body loosen and the mind wander, yet the pulse keeps sliding forward with a subtle undertow. This is the zone we jokingly call seaweed techno, flexible and buoyant, shaped by tiny currents rather than grand gestures. Axymt sidesteps the temptation of drama and focuses on micro-movements inside the percussion, letting small mutations carry the narrative. The mix can open a room gently or guide you through a late-night drift. Whether you catch it in passing or sink fully into its grain, the reward is the same: a gentle nudge that the right groove finds you, not the other way around.

Delayed with... Axymt

Close your eyes & imagine a scene unfolding in front of you - the air is cold & crisp, your breath barely visible in the darkness as you exhale, the warm air in your lungs condensing into clouds of fog as it leaves your body. Everything is quiet & the trees sit still around you, all of the sounds gently muffled, other than a faint warm rumble of sub frequencies, somewhere in the distance. You can’t quite pinpoint it but you follow the sound as your feet softly crunch down on frozen earth. As you get closer, you suddenly notice a mysteriously intriguing concrete structure start to appear in the forest. Lights glowing from windows partly shrouded in freshly fallen snow, resembling an abandoned bunker, eerie but peaceful. The music invites you towards it, so you open the door & step in. Immediately you’re enveloped by warm, humid air & hit with a full spectrum of sound, as if the opening of the door was the opening of a low pass filter. 

For this week’s Delayed with edition, we welcome Berlin-based artist Valentin Ginies with a special recording from this bunker in the woods. You may be familiar with Valentin already, as the man behind 11001 Records, or through the festival he organizes outside of Berlin, Third Eye Festival. Last December, he was lucky enough to play an all night long set at this mysterious venue, after the first big snowstorm of the year, with 1 meter of snow on the ground. Aptly named Concrete, the venue is as discreet as it gets, an intimate, minimalist space with no signage on the outside, tucked away in the mountains of a small village in the Japanese Alps called Hakuba, just outside the city of Nagano in Japan. The recording consists of the first 2 hours of his set, where he slowly & steadily drew people into the space, setting the tone for what was to come.

Resistance

There are festivals you attend and festivals that rearrange something small but permanent inside you. Perpendicular belongs to the latter. After collaborating in the past from afar, 2025 was the first time we actually stepped into the pine-covered clearing that so many trusted friends had mythologized. The stories turned out to be accurate. Perpen is a wavelength, a temporary pocket of reality where strangers treat each other like long-lost cousins and music arrives without the burden of proving anything.

Medi became the custodian of the final night, a responsibility whispered about long before we reached the festival grounds. We met him in Valencia days earlier, sharing coffees and paellas, and the quiet confidence in his presence suggested the weight of experience rather than ego. His record bag ended up in our car on the drive to the woods, and resisting the urge to peek at those vinyls felt like an oath. Friends offered no clues about what he might play, which only deepened the suspense. Some artists close a floor. Medi was preparing to close a narrative.

When the cartridges were swapped, and the stylus touched down, fatigue evaporated like mist. Techno and electro braided, pulled along by those razor-sharp snares that sliced through the smoke like a metronome for the collective psyche. Each snap felt like a reminder that the night still had business to finish. Medi’s vinyl work was absurdly fluid, so intuitive it seemed the records were cueing themselves. Broken patterns teased hallucinations, basslines carried the tired bodies into borrowed energy. Then The Cure’s Forest appeared like a knowing smile from the universe, reminding us of where we were and how lucky we felt to be there. The dancefloor dissolved into laughter, hugs, disbelief, and eventually a gentle crawl toward La Cabaña for one final ambient delirium.

What lingers about this mix isn’t just the track selection or the execution, but the emotional climate it documents. You can hear the relief of a weekend well-lived, the gentle ache of goodbye, the kind of affection that only forms on a dancefloor surrounded by trees and dust and shared emotions. Perpen 2025 quietly rewired our sense of what a festival can feel like. Until the next pilgrimage, Medi’s recording remains the ember reminding us it wasn’t a dream.

Delayed x Perpendicular: Medi

Javi’s contribution to La Mostra’s biennial unfolded inside the Convent de Sant Agustí like a quiet act of urban archaeology. Tilect’s pairing of his sound design with Marta Lofi’s live visuals turned the cloister into a resonant chamber where Ciutat Vella’s streets reappeared as spectral traces. He approached the theme in the only way he knows: wander, listen, record, return to a quiet corner, and let the fragments dictate the form. The resulting piece bends the city into a dream logic of its own, where echoes slip into harmony and environmental debris reshapes itself into something strangely elegant.

There is a particular magic in Javi’s work, a way of treating everyday noise like soft clay. Years of diving into granular processes, pedals, and the raw geometry of sound have given him a language that feels both intimate and slightly extraterrestrial. The first time we heard him, at Mostra nearly four years ago, he and Alex as .apart made the city feel alive in a way that bordered on surreal, like Barcelona’s neighborhoods were whispering their stories directly into the PA. This new recording carries that same spark but with a deeper sense of curiosity. Close your eyes and you might imagine an alien craft touching down in Ciutat Vella and trying to negotiate with unbothered locals who answer confusion with a casual sax riff. The tension is playful rather than dramatic, a shimmering frequency that settles the body rather than startling it. These thirty-five minutes show an artist who keeps refining how memory becomes texture and how place becomes pulse. It’s a pure joy to include this one in the series, a quiet demonstration of how listening can tilt your sense of place in unexpected ways.
