Prolific Italian duo Orion and dear friends of the Delayed team are ending the year with a bang, as they release ORN006 on their namesake label, their only solo release of the year.

We’re very happy to feature the A3 track - TWS. This wonderful piece of electro wastes no time, getting straight to the point with its acid line, bouncy percussion and eerie chords, being reminiscent of Aphex Twin with hints of Sega Soundtrack influence.  

In typical Orion style, this release is impressively versatile, starting out with ambient, and navigating through breakbeat and downtempo. The duo’s slow release policy is definitely paying off, as it’s clear that they prioritize quality above quantity, having not released a full solo release since April 2021. As always, we’ll be waiting for their next work, and immensely enjoying this in the meantime.

Orion's "Tenet" EP will be out on their own Orion label on December 15.

PREMIERE: Orion - TWS [Orion]

Exclusive: Sakro, Max Jacobson - Walking Into Mirrors

Renowned for his longstanding affiliation with the esteemed RAWAX family, Sakro embarks on an artistic odyssey alongside Chicago's very own Max Jacobson, culminating in the creation of a masterful musical triptych titled the "Walking Into Mirrors EP." This collaborative endeavor stands as a testament to the intersection of talent and innovation, weaving together a tapestry of sound that beckons the listener to traverse realms both deep and intoxicating.

At the forefront of this auditory journey lies the titular track, "Walking Into Mirrors," a mesmerizing composition that unfolds with the precision of a well-oiled machine. From its onset, a pulsating House groove sets the stage, drawing the audience into a rhythmic embrace that refuses to relent. With each successive loop, the track delves deeper into the psyche of the dancer, its ethereal base-synth line casting a spell as enchanting as it is irresistible. Sakro and Jacobson prove themselves virtuosos of the craft, seamlessly blending elements of House and depth to create an experience that transcends the confines of the dancefloor.

Yet, it is not merely the infectious rhythms or the hypnotic melodies that define the "Walking Into Mirrors EP." Rather, it is the symbiotic relationship between Sakro and Jacobson, their creative synergy palpable with each passing beat. As the title track unfolds, it becomes abundantly clear that this collaboration is more than the sum of its parts; it is a testament to the power of musical camaraderie, a celebration of shared passion and vision.

In the continuum of their EP, Sakro and Jacobson leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of their audience, igniting a fervent desire for more. With each track, they invite listeners on a sonic expedition, guiding them through landscapes both familiar and uncharted. From the housey depths of "Walking Into Mirrors" to the spicy allure of their accompanying tracks, the duo crafts an experience that resonates long after the final note fades into the ether.

In essence, the "Walking Into Mirrors EP" stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities inherent in collaboration, a testament to the enduring legacy of RAWAX family's commitment to pushing the boundaries of electronic music. With Sakro and Jacobson at the helm, the journey into the mirrors of sound is nothing short of transformative, leaving an indelible imprint on the very fabric of dance music itself.

DTP#27 - Dietroiter

From the depths of his dungeon-like record basement comes this all vinyl mix from Hamburgs unique and one of a kind: Dietroiter.
Going back to the glory days of Front club until nowadays a regular of Golden Pudel, Dieter never lost track of finding and keeping an immense Panorama of different music and genres, all reflected in his immense output of high quality mixes.

Which brings us to this mix of fast paced electro, old and new - all   go with the flow in his special Dieter-style. Something to heat up a dancefloor to its melting point, at least in our opinion.

Next up in our Digest series is our good mate Antoni aka Antek!

I first met Antoni last year when he invited me down to Planet Wax for one of his instalments of 'Antek Invites', a regular event he hosts at the shop showcasing the breadth and depth of his taste alongside friends and other DJs who he knows will match the vibe. 

A true gent with a genuine passion for music, Antek's been part of the Planet Wax crew for ~18 months with regular appearances and events at the shop, alongside other gigs around South London, as well as radio appearances on Subtle, Aaja, Kool FM, Balamii, and Netil to name a few. 

He even played the Steel City of Sheffield recently at the newly established Gut Level, a queer community DIY space in the heart of the city centre.

Hope you enjoy the variety of sounds he's put together for us in this mix :)

Track listing:

A1 Signs of Disarray
A2 Invisible Intruder
B1 Nickel From The Bumper
B2 Mystified

Releases by Intergalactic Gary are few and far between. Besides a handful of collaborations such as The Parallax Corporation (with I-F) and with Pasiphae, the must-know DJ from Den Haag has largely been about his talent behind the decks. We are thus extremely honoured to have him break the mould with us for his first solo EP release in 15 years — ’Signs of Disarray’. 

Injecting a fresh spirit amidst today’s mass productions, the sounds will immediately capture vintage ears. The pacing well measured, the storytelling a precious capsule from a time past. In essence, 4-tracks impossible to replicate unless you are the one and only time-bending and time-travelling Intergalactic Gary.

Hop on board the bird trip with title track ‘Signs of Disarray’, a hurtling sonic obstacle course which gives a brief but soul-drenched reprieve. Onward, ‘Invisible Intruder’ chronicles a battle propelled by gun shots and recoils. The B side consists of the tools: ’Nickel from The Bumper’, a liminal ride for that nth hour of your set and ‘Mystified’, a ghostly apparition to surface at highly selected dance floors under the right musical conjurers.

A1, A2 and B1 mixed by our good friend Redshape, all tracks mastered and cut by the legendary Simon at The Exchange with artwork by our friendly neighbour and artist Kohei Matsunaga and layout by our crew member, Naomi Clair.
