Ilya Semashkevich is a Belarusian-Polish composer, sound engineer, and multidisciplinary artist born in 1997 in Brest. His practice merges electronic and acoustic composition, live performance, improvisation, and visual expression. With a background in jazz, sound production, and experimental music, he works across genres such as ambient, idm, trance, house, and contemporary classical. His approach treats sound as both structure and form, a tool for perception, memory, and artistic thinking. Influenced by lo-fi aesthetics, minimalism, and sonic spatiality, Semashkevich explores the concept of “Imaginative Mixing”, aural equivalents of visual composition.

Ilya had to say the following about this live-recording: "For me, this live performance became a release of accumulated thoughts about home life and the art of “dirty listening.”
Life runs, flows, flies, crawls, stands still.
And I sit, walk, float, watch.
In hot or frosty, gray or yellow days - coziness makes me stronger.
Listening to this recording on a proper sound system will, of course, be great, but even through your phone speakers, you won’t lose its essence."

Epìcycle invites Thomas Gram @ GIMIC - 26 October 2025

Columbian-based label, From A Lost Place is no stranger to us here at Delayed. Since 2018 the imprint run by founder, Launaea has been a consistent presence in the ambient, deep and experimental musical worlds that we are so fond of. With past releases including notable names like Zemög, Claudio PRC, Launaea himself, and a few monster compilations, there’s something for everyone in their rich backlog.

Marking a new direction for the label, the latest forthcoming release, titled ‘parasympathetic’ finds us listening to a glittering five tracker by the German artist, YYARD. Bright melodies abound as the label states, ‘perfect definition of the artist's eclecticism, blending groove and jazz influences with very meticulous rhythms, rich and organic percussions perfectly suited for the dance floor’.

'apnoe', the second to final track on the release, takes a darker approach, compared to the emotional highs of, say, Endless Summers. A full-sounding synth lead takes center stage as it grows and grows, while snappy percussion plays throughout, providing that proper groove and infectious movement. Tracks like these are ear worms and proper for a warmup session.

'apnoe', and in turn ‘parasympathetic’ will be released on November 20th.

Hi everyone! In this new Hyperborea episode, we have the great joy and honour to feature @loscil. An artist of huge influence, whose music has accompanied us for countless hours, calming our souls.

In this session, Loscil offers a gentle drift through textured drones and spacious tones, creating a calm, enveloping environment for quiet focus and deep listening.

Alongside the mix, there is also an interview where he shares insights into his process and artistic approach. You can listen to the mix and read the interview now at https://futurenevercomes.net

Hyperborea 008 - Loscil

"I’ve really stretched myself this year - not just with music, but with work, life and travel too. So for this mix, rather than chasing new tracks or playing my latest material, I decided to dig into some older playlists I made between 2020-2023. It was super grounding to rediscover music I haven’t played in a while. The mix also features a few tracks from my label, as well as some of my own older work. In the end, it felt grounding to record a mix like this!! Enjoy!"

Kri Records Takeover w. Alice in Flames [27.11.25]

Erika's mid-morning set from 6 - 7:30 at No Way Back, May 25, 2025, Day 2 of Return to the Source at Tangent, Detroit. Directly after BMG and right before Derek Plaslaiko.

"It’s a whirlwind experience throwing a party *and* performing at it. At No Way Back, the only thing that works for me is to use the energy of the crowd to find my sonic direction. The room was incredibly dialed in, and the focus on the floor was immense, this is unlike any experience on any other floor around the world."

IT.podcast.s14e09: Erika at No Way Back 2025

We announce
Euromatic Tales - a bi-monthly show for distorted, yet witty minds!
curated by
@sneakerdj
@jrmiketansella
@zorz

What are Euromatic Tales?
We embrace the multi-cultural heritage of the global dance music scene. From cosmic to US disco. From new beat to Chicago house.
Euromatic Tales is a German, Italian, Greek & Georgian co-production.
We don’t pre-record. The show will feature guests. We are serious about the fun: To our ears a set is not hysterical entertainment, but conveys a curated narrative.

If you wonder why The Sneaker goes down the reggae tip you might listen closely to the first half an hour where I felt reminded of Italo Disco synth hooks and - in the mid of the mix - digital house from the 80s (cheap samples, samplers and Casio keyboards).

Euro doesn't mean Eurocentric - rather the concious (and necessarily) "European view on".

In this case on Jamaica. Interestingly most of the dub-infused German-lyric examples in the latter part of the 2h-show predate the digital dancehall "version"s from Jamaica. So the narrative ain't that simple as "political correct" predators wish for.

All vinyl!
Enjoy!
