techno snobs

Spanish label Sungate has been a beacon for techno lovers in the past several years, conjuring up dancefloor gems by artists close to our hearts here at Delayed. They're taking a refreshing plunge into depths of electro with the debut EP, "Deep Water," by Dutch producer Taupe.

Imagine scaling the rusty fire escape of a forgotten skyscraper, heart pounding as you climb towards the sky. The city sprawls beneath you, a concrete jungle teeming with hidden corners and forgotten secrets. That's the thrill of "Abyss" – a deep dive into the unexplored alleys of electro, where classic 808 broken beats are the cobbled streets, the air is soft and warmed by the glow of mellow pads while razor-sharp synths shimmer like holographic projections, casting fleeting glimpses of hidden realities onto the grimy facades of the concrete jungle.

Taupe's EP, "Deep Water," is a map to this sonic labyrinth, and "Abyss" is the hidden treasure at its heart.

"Deep Water" EP is set for release on February 2.

PREMIERE: Taupe - Abyss [Sungate]

Arkajo is back on his own label with two originals and two remixes by kindred spirits, Polygonia and Konduku. Starting with the warm Entwine, stepped-out beats laced with swirly stabs. Polygonia's finishes off the A-side with an organic and atmospheric rework; saturated in deep, trippy, rattling tonally percussive flows.
Arkajo's Signature leads the B-side: broken drum patterns with whispers from the realm between where Sweden and the UK meet. Konduku settles the score with his dark and eerie 4x4 techno take. A diverse record to keep in the bag for both hazy basements and the upcoming summer season.

LIDVALL - Abandoned EP [SOMA676D]

Support here: https://lidvall.fanlink.tv/AbandonedEP

1. Crack
2. Like to your story
3. Abandoned
4. Chorus

Spanish-based LIDVALL makes his Soma Records debut with a unique and concussive 4 track EP titled 'Abandoned'. As an artist on the rise, his skilfully produced tracks have seen him become a firm favourite amongst the techno community, and this EP further cements him as one to watch over the coming years.

'Crack' makes a no nonsense opening of release with rapid fire percussive elements firing across energetic and electrifying synths. 'Like to your story' has a more deep and hypnotic feel as spacious and carefully constructed percussion loops throughout the track, crafting the perfect DJ tool. Title track 'Abandoned' picks up on a more groove focussed tip with skipping hi hats dancing over melodic structures. 'Chorus' goes all out for the closer with thudding drums taking the lead as searing, warping synths spike at the heart of the track.

Triple Threat

Oxygeno returns to his label Lost Verses with Pure Devotion, an EP that fuses hypnotic, raw, and relentless techno with a satirical and defiant critique of the Churchs values.

Side A opens with Soul Absorption, a track with a heavy low end, absorbing synths, and an atmosphere that plunges you into a deep abyss. Next comes Haunted, which takes the darkness further with a haunting, psychotic synth sequence and a heart-rending bassline that keeps you on your toes.

On the B-side, Infectious delves into shadowy territory with a modulated synth line that simulates something infectious and consuming. Finally, The Weight Of Guilt closes the EP with the heaviest and most aggressive track. Thunderous percussion and a crushing bassline capture the intensity and gravity reflected in its title.

Pure Devotion is a sonic journey designed for the dancefloor, where the body moves to the beat while the mind ponders and grapples with the ideas woven into each track.

NOTE: The artwork features two “nazarenos” from Spain’s Semana Santa, a traditional Easter procession. This has no relation to the KKK.

Cat No DN019 - Danza Nativa 2025.

Press Release:
We know nothing about the newly emerging Fefe other than the fact that they hail from Down Under and, on this evidence, make classy club tackle. 'Trudd' is a supple, shapeshifting deep techno opener with sub-aquatic pads and churning rhythms. 'Bogged Under' gets more dark and heavy with drum pressure never letting up as spangled synths occupy the mind. 'Diddy's Rug' brings a lighter melodic touch with trippy patterns and hallucinogenic qualities for the afters then 'Fire Warden' is a double-time stepper with dub weight and urgent energy to make for another sophisticated offering from Danza Nativa.

Arkajo is one half of Genius of Time, the Swedish duo that brought us underground anthems on Running Back, Clone Royal Oak and Aniara recordings.

We’ve sneaked the exclusive of “It’s Only You”, taken from his forthcoming “Landslide EP” on Nilla - It’s one of those tracks that ostensibly is quite simple, but at the same time it is exactly the sort of music to which vinyl is suited...

Released: 04/03/19
