Distant Messenger

*PREMIERE* Aspetuck - Entropy

We’re kicking off the new year with the debut self-release from Melbourne-based artist Fefe, whose seven-track mini-LP, Sketches from Memories, drops in just a few days. This release is a reflection of Fefe’s creative journey over the past five years, capturing the evolution of his sound through a thoughtful collection of tracks.
Our premiere today, Ghost Gum, is an evocative piece that blends gentle, textured percussion with earthy synth tones and a haunting saxophone melody. The track conjures the imagery of a ritualistic dance deep within a forest, brimming with otherworldly energy.
Sketches from Memories will be available on Bandcamp starting January 15th.

PREMIERE: Fefe - Ghost Gum

Spiraling melodies and half time tempos spring to the forefront for our premiere today, titled Ravina. Portuguese artists Floating Machine and Inerte have combined talents for a contribution to the Berlin and Lisbon based event series and label, Art Bei Ton. The fifth edition of their VA series, ‘Seeing Cursed Spirits’ will soon be released that showcases a variety of sounds. All nestled within the folds of deep and hypnotic techno.

Ravina evolves, slowly but surely. Each pulse of the percussion brings new life and energy into the air. A soft pad floats in the background, ethereal and ever-shifting, creating a sense of vast space that’s peppered with bright auditory textures giving movement and spontaneity as they jump around the listener. Gradually, voices become more pronounced, their distant melodies forming a loop that seems to repeat and evolve in subtle variations, like a mantra or chant. The panning continues to play with perception, shifting focus gently from one side to the other until the ending moments as each element slowly falls away.

Art Bei Ton’s latest VA will be released on the 16th of January and includes offerings from a diverse set of artists including Viels, PEIX, and Nao Nhil.

Seeing Cursed Spirits

PREMIERE: Floating Machine & Inerte - Ravina [Art Bei Ton]

The third release on Lola Haro’s Small Steps label from Belgium sees German producer DJ Balduin step up with a contribution that embodies the label's sound. Known for his intricate, warm house basslines, clever loops, and breaks, DJ Balduin delivers a three-track EP, Everything, capturing the fleeting magic when light meets dark. Out on Valentine’s Day, 14th February, the release includes the track Somar and will be available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp.

The EP is all about mood and movement. In Somar, DJ Balduin plays with a mixture of rising and melancholic pads, including distant bird chatter and playful loops. A punchy beginning, the tracks mellow into moments of bliss, offering warmth throughout. The interplay of light and dark is palpable and emotive, evoking euphoria reminiscent of sunrise sets at festivals—those moments that shift the tempo and prepare us for another day of dancing.

Small Steps and DJ Balduin captures these intangible moments with its sound: the eye contact on the dancefloor, subtle smiles, and the pull of the kick drum as we sway.

Everything

PREMIERE: DJ Balduin - Somar [Small Steps]

Through overwhelming days and times of strife, an emphasis to look inwards and reflect seems appropriate. Outside stressors abound, almost at every turn it seems as the world claws at your mental stability. Italian producer, dj and more, Simone Gatto’s forthcoming Invisible Love album on his own Pregnant Void imprint marks a response to these negative forces. Giving space, soft moments of introspection and smooth melodies that all lend well to its healing nature.

Like a deep breath, The Secret of Quantum Life slowly begins. In and out, in and out. The meditative nature can’t be ignored, Simone’s background influences coming through in spades as warm tones envelop the listener, accentuated by generative warbles providing movement and spontaneity. As the track progresses, varying swirls and melodic eddies appear, like changes in the wind.

Gatto’s Invisible Love album will be released on the 7th of February.

Invisible Love

PREMIERE: Simone Gatto - The Secret Of Quantum Life [Pregnant Void]

Time flies—what started as a platform to spotlight music we love has reached an incredible milestone: our 500th premiere. Over the years, we've witnessed trends emerge, evolve, and transform into something entirely new. Within these 500 premieres, we've featured a kaleidoscope of styles and genres, but at the heart of it all, the music has always been deep, introspective, and original—an authentic reflection of the artists who create it.
We're thrilled to present Ojalá by Dutch artist Love Over Entropy for this special occasion. Taken from the long-awaited album "To Sit Quietly Where Everything Is Moving Fast," set to be released via Something Happening Somewhere, this track radiates optimism and quiet determination—qualities that feel perfectly encapsulated in its title.
Ojalá unfolds with gentle confidence, its uplifting keys and delicate arpeggiator lines moving together like a conversation that flows without effort. There's an understated elegance here—a lightness that never veers into excess. Each element breathes in unison, giving the track a natural, organic momentum.
The word ojalá, with its roots in hope and possibility, feels like a guiding principle for the music. It's as if Love Over Entropy has captured that sentiment and translated it into sound: a wish carried forward, subtle but powerful.
With this milestone premiere, we're reminded of why we started this platform: to share moments like this, where music connects us not just to each other but to something more profound.
Here's to the next 500 premieres—and to Ojalá, a track that reminds us of the beauty in looking forward.

More often than not, music acts as a vehicle for emotions, states of mind, or capturing moments in time. Making tangible the intangible, and transporting a brief window into the artist’s mind to a final destination. One that lies squarely with the listener. From there, everything is up for interpretation. 10, 100, a 1000 different people each with their own look through the window. One common theme arising from those myriads of views seems to be an innate desire to find those tracks or songs that evoke a strong emotional response. Tracks that create ‘moments’ for listeners that are inexplicably tied with a setting and transport them back even years later. 

Bearing this in mind, we at Delayed are happy to premiere today, map.ache and his remix of COMA’s ‘A-train’. Much like the smoke that eddies around most of, if not all the Giegling parties, map.ache’s name is closely tied with fondly told stories of those ‘special’ moments. Where people are crying, hugging, overcome with emotion. Moments also coupled with comments like ‘of course it’s map.ache’, that aren’t uncommonly said with a warm smile. As with his past offerings, map.ache gives a bit of a raucous breaky kick to ‘A-train’ and finishes with his signature soaring pads and a melodic crescendo. Certainly, a track to create more of those memorable times for listeners around the globe.

If you enjoyed this track, the rest of the remixes will be out on March 6th, off of City Slang. map.ache’s remix is joined by Lauer, Panthera Krause, Sau Poler, Julian Stetter and Kino Todo to fill out an incredibly solid release.

We here at delayed are happy to present you with the latest release from the Lyon-based imprint Pomme Sanguine. 'PSANG Tales vol.3' explores the fringes of ambient, experimental, acid and electro realms.

The track we are premiering today comes from a super talented producer Discothèque Sauvage from Lyon who takes us for mesmerizing acid-sprinkled excursion filled with broken beats and lush synths.

New! What, an adjective. Entirely subjective, or objective depending on your perspective. The harbinger of quality perhaps, or simply that of a flash of brilliance, gone quicker than the blink of an eye. New can be used for many things, however, today’s focus of an oft favorite adjective falls on the shoulders of Melbourne based DJ, and producer, Kia, her label, and a cadre of fellow artists. 

Animalia as a label is new in every sense of the word, and in every sense, the best possible. Much like her mixes, Kia has curated an intricate selection from the thriving Melbourne scene that ticks every box for a burgeoning label. A proverbial shot across the musical bow if you will.

Our shot for today comes in the form of Dashiell & Sam Brickel and ‘Run Out Groove’. Nestled nicely among the other breakish tunes of Animalia 001, ‘Run Out Groove’ provides just as the name implies. Grooves with undulating synths and flashy acid highlights, persisting throughout to provide a top tier atmosphere. We’ll be watching, with ears wide open here at Delayed for what new things come out of Animalia, and we hope you do as well.

‘Run Out Groove’ is available for instant download with pre-order of the whole release (scheduled for release on May 30th) via Animalia’s Bandcamp page

Unconscious by Human Space Machine is a great exercise in the subtle art of tension and release.  The track is very deliberate at slowly building up various sonic elements and letting the synth lines open and blossom.  Did I mention slowly? The track does stay true to its name and provides one with the feeling of slowly coming back to life from some sort of metaphoric slumber; starting muted and muffled and then gently "awaking" the senses one by one.  Did I mention slowly?

"Unconscious" by Human Space Machine is a part of the new "The Meaning of Time - Part II" compilation that is coming out on September 25th via On Board Music.

San Francisco-based Manjumasi welcomes back Vridian, a rising star from the Indian underground electronic music scene, for his sophomore release on the label, 'Strange Statistics' EP.
The release features two originals and two remixes by Gacha Bakradze and Tim Engelhardt. Gacha Bakradze, a mainstay from the vibrant Georgian underground music scene and our usual suspect here at Delayed, gives a nice twist to the title track and brings back all the feels with early '00 breakbeat nostalgia. 
Gacha's remix of 'Strange Statistics' brilliantly showcases a blend of classic UK breakbeat groove and melodic sensibility that will, for sure, create those special moments on the dance floor.
'Strange Statistics' EP is coming out on November 30th via Manjumasi.

Sharing a name with an interstellar object is no small feat but today’s premiere by Aspetuck, ‘Oumuamua’ provides a bit less international intrigue and a bit more groove while being very club-friendly. Coming right out the gate, Oumuamua establishes a percussion-led atmosphere as the drum machines are in full effect, followed by the sweeping pads that we all know and love at Delayed. Reminiscent of days or universes gone past.

Oumuamua is a part of 'Distant Messanger' EP scheduled for release on March 15th via A Friend in Need.
