Amsterdam-based collective and imprint De Lichting releases the first solo EP from one of its members, Kaap. Known for his passion for analog gear and a signature dubby take on House and Techno, Kaap delivers three original cuts highlighting his masterclass in the studio.

'Dead On Arrival' is a multi-dimensional and skillfully executed trip that, for ten minutes, slowly unfolds each element and builds a rolling tour de force that blurs the lines between Micro House and Dub Techno. 
At first, every layer seems repetitive, but if you carefully listen to them, you'll hear a whole micro-universe happening in the background tweaked just enough never to get dull.
The main driver of the track is a rumbling bassline. However the real magic happens in the background of cosmic and drone pads that build a foundation for distant bell melody, which creates an atmosphere of well known, and here at Delayed beloved, German Micro House (think labels like Dial, Smallville, Giegling, Kann).
We are well familiar with Kaap's brilliance in the studio, and this EP proves that this incredibly talented artist has a lot to give in the coming years.

'Omen' EP is coming out in June via De Lichting

His Master's Voice makes his second appearance on Delsin. Late 2019 the low-profile German producer released his first EP on the label backed with a remix by Vril — who's taken care of the mastering on this EP again. 'Carry On In My Name' contains yet again four original works of engaging electronics.

It's a fresh combination of dusty break-beats and stuttering rhythms boosted by rough, yet emotive melodies. A very well balanced pack melting together all sides of electro, drum & bass and glitchy atmospheres.

MNMT Premiere: Bas Dobbelaer & Vand – Nomansland

Once upon a time, two operators stared at their screens. They sat silently for hours, their whole being dedicated to the task they had been assigned to. Days and nights passed in the same monotonous manner.

Suddenly signals showed up on their monitors. Alarms started to ring.

Both reacted at the same speed and did what they were supposed to do. Controls and commands were entered, as was protocol. After observing these waves for 61:01 minutes, everything became quiet again.

What they had just witnessed made them wonder. For the first time they addressed each other. "The data is transferring through our system," announced the first. “Let us both check how this can be interpreted.” The second validated the response. Together, they looked at what had been recorded. Ideas raced through their complicated minds until they realized simultaneously: sounds! They listened.

“Is this an unknown language?” one asked
“This is the first time this has been heard throughout our history,” the other answered.
They listened again and again.
“This electricity has been arranged to form a cohesive entity,” the first said.
“Why would machines be used to create that?” the second mused.
Something had awakened inside of them, an obsessive curiosity they had never experienced before. They did not understand and were blown away by the beauty of it.
“Do you think it could have been left by humans before us?” one whispered.
“If it was, these would be Major Signals,” the other concluded.
As they processed these thoughts, the two artificial intelligences sat still.

Irakli was born in Georgia when the country was still a part of the Soviet Union. He moved to Cologne before ending up in Berlin a decade ago and has been an active and interesting voice in the electronic music and club landscape of the city. First as a DJ and producer behind the I/Y and Intergalactic Research Institute For Sound labels, but also as one of the minds behind the STAUB collective. His artistic endeavors have brought him to contribute to books, exhibitions and movies. He has performed with classical orchestras and worked with artists and thinkers from all fields. He hasn’t been afraid to take a stance politically - in 2019 he collaborated with fellow Georgian producer Michailo whilst he was imprisoned. But most importantly, he loves the music, making it, sharing it, listening to it, dancing to it, and now he is presenting us with his first album on Dial.
