Delay Grounds - How To Monetize Existential Dread (PDCOMP004)

Marcelo's Whistle

Our sixth VA compilation continues in the collective spirit at the heart of Pressure Dome; here taking its fullest form. The first of its kind in the label catalogue, ‘Two [Is Greater Than] One’ sees a selection of PD regulars and friends of the label put their heads together across eight atmospheric tracks, equally as suited to the club as to solo listening. 

Those who have followed the label for a while will be no stranger to the comp’s first collaborator. Human Resources teams up with London dub techno specialist, Keplrr, on ‘Spring’: a mood-led composition where the impact is contained in atmosphere. Fragmented drum breaks are engulfed by airy synth pads and punctuated by a dancehall-indebted rhythm that marches at 90BPM. ‘Yuppel’ welcomes Noods Radio mainstay Sid Quirk aka Keppel into the mix. He is joined by label boss, Yushh, on a ruminative percussive tool, guided by cavernous drums that fabricate a vivid, immersive environment. With the guidance of Brighton’s Caldera, the journey continues with Süss Choc. The reverb-laden synth plucks on ‘evoke water droplets, and hallucinatory details echo around them to create the illusion of being in a mountainous cove.

Delay Grounds – an audiophile in the truest sense of the word – is next to take the baton. Together, he and Yushh take it up a notch on ‘Telomere’ – a full-bodied club-ready track packed with glitchy chords and giddy drums. A gnarly, Pariah-esque breakdown segues into the track’s second wind where pitched-up vocal chops accelerate it to the compilation’s energetic climax. With the help of London drum specialist, Syz, ‘Fuzbidun’ keeps our feet firmly on the dancefloor. Breakbeats are chopped and rearranged, flitting between double and half time whilst a distorted mid-bass roughens things round the edges, prepping the ground for the compilation’s move to a more inorganic feel.

Bristol don, Forever, joins Yushh next on ‘Passing Notes’ – a groove-driven club track where skittish percussion ricochets from side to side, so palpable it tempts the touch. ‘Crash Bash Party At BUFOs’ is no different. The link-up between Delay Grounds and dance music’s stalwart of musique concrète, Wordcolour, is completely idiosyncratic to both artists: the perfect combination of found-sound percussion and skillfully rehashed vocal samples. It’s up to two PD mainstays – Roy Mills and Human Resources – to close proceedings. A chugging rhythm bubbles under the surface of ‘Sycophantasy’, sending us on a dubbed-out trip before picking the pace back up again.

For their ninth release, Redstone Press welcomes Tano to the roster, accompanied by remixes from Toumba & Delay Grounds. Having all embarked on making music around the same time and connecting through sharing said music, it felt only fitting to bring them together for this release.

Delay Grounds' remix of "Blend of Poetry" closes out the EP, taking it to new stratospheric heights. Elemental staccato synths hover above expertly balanced drums and bass, reaching a fever pitch of ecstatic euphoria. Through the subtle introduction of airy percussion, the track culminates in a classic, tranced-out breakdown adorned with bright luminescent horns and pulsating sub-bass.

Release Date: September 1st 2023

Sunflower serves as a representation of what’s to come for 2020, and how 2019 and every aspect of it influenced my world and the world around me. Recorded in Tokyo and New York, two of my favourite and most inspirational places (to me), Sunflower comprises 4 tracks which are a stand alone project, but an introduction to the debut Mall Grab album slated for a late 2020 release.

UK DJ and producer, Hot Since 82, makes his long-overdue return to Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records this month with brand new single, ‘Rise’. Without a doubt, one of the most respected DJs in the industry, Hot Since 82 has released on some of the biggest labels in the scene including Moda Black, Truesoul, Moon Harbour, Domino and own imprint Knee Deep In Sound, alongside headlining shows at the world’s biggest clubs and festivals and having his tracks continually supported across Radio 1, finding favour with Pete Tong, Danny Howard and Annie Mac. New single, ‘Rise’ truly reflects Hot Since 82’s signature sound, infused with crisp and energetic percussion, chunky drums, hypnotic vocals, huge synth stabs, an epic breakdown and an infectious bassline.

Warmer than it’s ever sounded before, the new Glowcast remaster comes complete with remixes from Matthias Tanzmann and Fango. Originally released in 2012 as part of Soma’s own 20 year anniversary, Tanzmann squeezes every ounce of soul possible from the percussion elements while Italian Fango gives ‘Right On Right On’ a right old shoeing with a massive lolloping disco bassline, marching pianos and an injection of funk positivity 2020 has sorely missed so far.

The midnight hour crept unto thee with hasty caution, revealing 'A Little Night Music: Aural Apparitions from the Geographic North', our third putrid prowl into Halloween-inspired sounds to torment and tantalize throughout the season. For this bout of distinguished dementia, we culled 31 brand new tracks of haunted hysteria conjured by some of the most alluring ambientists and outer auteurs from around the world. 

Spanning over two hours across two cassettes, 'A Little Night Music…’ unfurls itself in a literary horror structure, appearing and disappearing through a stirring Prologue and Epilogue by London-based cellist Oliver Coates, with each side of the cassettes introducing its Chapter with a chilling dirge courtesy of the inscrutable Geographic North House Band.  

What fills the ensuing pages is a mirthful tale concocted by an assembly exploring a realm all at once mournful and fatalist at its core. Entries from Clarice Jensen, Malibu, and the collaboration of Like a Villain and Christina Vantzou bring about endless glacial landscapes accented by pitch-grey skies. Conversely, transmissions from Michael Valentine West, M. Sage, Gregg Kowalsky, and Austrian ambient stalwart Fennesz explore richly textured mines of foreboding glee. 

Suspicion is the word when considering Zelienople’s eerie horse-carriage clip-clop, Nick Malkin’s neon-lit noir-jazz, or Carmen Villain’s gripping dub excursion. Elsewhere Ki Oni, Takagi Masakatsu, and Mary Lattimore (joined here by Paul Sukeena) provide glimmers of warmth amidst a tortured chill. 

Notable is the resurrection of Lotus Plaza and his solemnly hopeful piano composition, while barren hallucinations courtesy of Alex Zhang Hungtai, Ilyas Ahmed, and Danny Paul Grody set the stage for a third act confrontation from Atlantans Fit of Body and Algiers, providing a one-two serving of sensual unrest and cautionary homily.  

With hope and resolve shimmering through the final moments of our journey, know that all proceeds from the digital and cassette editions go directly toward Feminist Women's Health Center, an Atlanta-based nonprofit providing safe, accessible, and compassionate abortion and gynecological care to all those who need it without judgement.

Berlin-based producer and DJ Kevin Huizing, aka Budakid, returns to Anjunadeep with the release of ‘Surga’, alongside a percussion-laden remix from UK-based producer Joseph Ashworth.

Budakid pairs the mesmeric vocals of dutch singer Esther Veen with breakbeat drums and atmospheric sound design, demonstrating why he’s gained support from heavyweights such as Solomun, Jazzanova, Sasha, Joris Voorn, Guy J, Kölsch and Deadmau5. 

Following his recent Anjunadeep release ‘Kira EP’, Joseph Ashworth now puts his spin on ‘Surga’, intertwining intricate melodies with bold piano chords and carefully crafted synths.

Following his debut outing on our most recent compilation, Delay Grounds is back with three bass heavy submissions, each bubbling with effervescent melodies that twist and transform into the imitation of their phonetic namesakes. 

On the A-side, Coruscant builds and modulates with glitching rhythms and glittering synths, leading us onto the storming tantrum of Stompy; both tracks demonstrating the innovative intricacy we’ve come to expect from this burgeoning producer.
 
On the flip, Clatter’s playful yet introspective trajectory completes Delays Grounds’ solo excursion with fellow newcomer, Suze tapping the brakes in their explosive “Heeley Mix” to round off the EP.

Onomatopoeia's inviting digital landscape offers us an uplifting, yet ponderous escape during these times of uncertainty and change.

PD003 - Delay Grounds - Onomatopoeia [clips]

With his new album, "Ethereal", Famitsu took an ephemeral journey to virtually every corner of rave culture. Here are revisions of trance, sprays of gabba, breakbeat/jungle and house, and everything we danced and still dance on the wirehouses, factories, clubs and hangars for who knows how many years. But all this is not just a retrospective - Famitsu wrapped everything in a derealized shell, enveloped in iridescent neon light and put his trademark futuristic seal. And so, we own a powerful time machine of Famitsu Hyper brand on which we go on this crazy rave trip.

Grey Code - Masque

There was a noise, it had started with a bang but now it was a relentless clatter which rattled deep within the engine as it roared. Careering along the freeway with the wind in his hair he looked out upon the sandy desert as the sun went down in the distance. He was racing quickly against time, he had to get there before nightfall otherwise heaven only knows what might happen. He pressed his foot down harder on the accelerator and the clatter grew louder and louder beneath. 

Delay Grounds is set to release a new EP on Bristol based record label Pressure Dome, an imprint which is growing in prominence from strength to strength. The record also features a remix from Suze.

Stop Bzdurom (The Bad Gays) is dedicated to all the queer people fighting for their rights in Poland. The titulary collective, Stop Bzdurom, became known for their vivid reaction to the homophobic trucks roaming Polish cities (hence the roaring engines in the track). As far as I know just two days ago (on Halloween) they did a Samhain ritual to the sounds of this track. The Bad Gays is a humorous name I came up with sitting in a jail cell after my arrest in August to lift up the spirits of my cellmates, it refers to the fake Polish stereotype of a radical, gay hit squad financed by "the West".
