listen sets

A real pleasure to host one of my favourite djs in the Animix series, the ever-charming and immensely talented @playvlada, with her distinctly recognisable signature sound.

With a style deep, but somehow oozing with equal parts crunch and groove, Vlada is a master of blending her wide and eclectic old-school record collection into undulating journeys of bassy, hypnotic grooves, telling of her longstanding passion to the craft. 

The Russian born, but Berlin based mainstay balances touring with running mix series/party collective speLL in Berlin & beyond, with @vaahzer. One of my favourite parties in town :) 

Thanks again for the mix Vlada <33

@TraTraTrax co-founder @verraco showcases his upfront DJ style with a 90-minute mix of hybrid sounds.

"I wanted to make a mix that could be listened to at home, but that at the same time reflects part of what my DJing is today. That's why I decided to record it with an Allen & Heath Xone:92 mixer and three CDJs and inject my approach and technique, I guess. I thought about the tracklist for almost two months, trying to make it a document that can be listened today, but hopefully also revisited as time goes by."

Release date: 30th September 2024

WHOMP006 : Okouru

We’ve been on a roll lately at Delayed, with the caliber of mixes coming our way steadily raising the bar. Today, we’re thrilled to feature a mix from a familiar name: our friend Malte Schumann, known to many as Caldera, the German producer hailing from Brighton. His production work consistently brings a unique spark, and that same artistry comes through when he takes control of the decks. Some artists refuse to settle into a single genre, and when approached with skill, this can be one of their greatest strengths. Caldera’s set showcases just that, steering clear of predictability and embracing the freedom to explore.

What we have here is an expertly crafted mix, technically sharp and atmospherically rich, with a track selection that perfectly balances exploration and coherence. It’s a dynamic journey through the best facets of electronic music, with a strong lean towards groovy, tribal, off-kilter techno. Starting off on a mellow and organic note, the set gradually builds momentum, morphing almost imperceptibly until it’s carrying an irresistible energy. The transitions are seamless, the flow is natural, and every shift feels deliberate.
This one deserves a spot on your essential listening list. It reminds you how thoughtful curation can transform a set into something that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Live in Lighthouse (Fandango, October 13th 2024)

For this edition of the Fast Forward series, we present to you Blue Hour @bluehour909 with a mix focusing on early-rave! - Enjoy!

From starting out promoting club nights in the UK, Luke Standing has been devoted to underground electronic music.
His first records under the names Furesshu and Esoteric experimented with swung and atmospheric techno before he resettled in Germany and launched his resolutely independent project Blue Hour in late 2013. Since then, Standing has released pivotal records with a distinctive sound driven by the spirit and energy of the '90s, and in turn, been welcomed into some of the most respected venues across the globe. Fuelled by his obsession with the early days of dance music, when genres like trance, jungle, and IDM overlapped, his DJ sets explore a narrative of timeless music, blurring the lines between geography and scene, space and time. Beyond the platform originally started for his own productions, Blue Hour has since begun extending his reach towards other artists and releasing music from Dold
and Alpha Tracks as well as his collaborative project as Tracing Xircles. An acclaimed Remixed series has also seen artists like Steffi, Pangaea and Answer Code Request re-working his music. There is no doubt that Blue Hour has become part of the techno world, but Standing stands clearly apart within it.

BOUND Radio with VTSS @ The Lot Radio 11 - 21 - 2019

Next up in the Fast Forward Audio Series we have Damon Bradley!

Damon Bradley, a resident of central Maryland, USA, was born and raised in South Philadelphia.
His musical influences span a very broad spectrum from ambient to industrial techno, groovy and soulful house, and melodic progressive trance. Currently, he’s focused on exposing the boundaries of techno to as many people as possible, and he does this using the TechnoFist group and TechnoFist podcast he created in 2013 and 2015, respectively. He curates both new and classic techno on TechnoFist which now has over 2900 members, mostly from New York, Washington DC, and various European cities.

Damon has played in numerous places in Washington DC, Brooklyn, and Philadelphia including Jimmy Valentines, and Dr. Clocks Nowhere Bar for the Degenerate, Void Archive, and Phonic parties in DC, EXILE Brooklyn, Flash DC, Tilt, and Aphotic in Brooklyn. Damon’s toured the US beyond the East Coast as well, including Format x Sleepwalker Chicago, the Works in Detroit, and Synthetik in LA.
Internationally, Damon also headlined Copenhagen’s new rave series called Endurance, flanked by Hyperaktivist, Lunde and Ronde, and Ezy, and also played a few impromptu parties during Amsterdam Dance Event 2018 and Dekmantel 2017.
Damon has played at all ends of the running order, opening for the likes of Shifted, Ben Damage, Exos, and Phase, and closing for juggernauts such as Perc, Tommy Four Seven, Headless Horseman, Stranger, Milton Bradley, The Gods Planet, Jeff Mills, FJAAK, and Pure Immenance.

In 2016, Damon teamed up with Ron Jackson, Jacob Knibb, Associate and Juana to form SEQUENCE, an ambitious underground techno event series that aims to push the Washington DC techno scene as far as possible. SEQUENCE has been throwing parties since August 2016, and has featured strong local talent alongside heavyweights such as Headless Horseman, UVB, Discwoman, Milton Bradley, BMG, and Tommy Four Seven.

In March 2019, Damon started a new party series in the US called Katalyst, which bridges the gap between future techno with classic trance sounds of the early '90s. He’s already featured 11 artists in only 2 parties already and hopes to feature many more in the near future.

About the mix:
I had 3 objectives with this mix.
1) Blend opposites - past and present techno, hard and abrasive with gentle and melodic
2) Showcase intense tracks that seem to tell a story but also get folks moving fast
3) Dedication to my late mom who passed away in June - FSOL Papua New Guinea was one of her favorite songs I'd play for her over 20 years ago while I was a teenager just discovering the music, and Ibon No Sleep is the last song I played for her, a week before she died.

So the tracks include Oliver Lieb (as Superspy and L.S.G.), D. Carbone, DJ IBON, Funeral Future, Devilfish, I-E from ISMUS, Avalone, Luis Ruiz, Meiler Avenue, 999999999, and Hadone.

Ute Mix Series #21 | Ezy

The first edition of the Fast Forward Audio Series for this decade, we present to you a special collaborative effort between Viscerale and Adam Askov of Funeral Future, they named the mix "Life is not a Beach". It came about as the result of a close friendship that was formed a year ago.
The tracks featured in the mix were all fixtures at the local club Tuben back in the early ‘00s and have been superbly mixed by Viscerale. It’s a rare glimpse into a sound that preceded our own contributions to the Copenhagen techno.
