Some artists manage to carve out a space in your mind with a style so distinct you find yourself constantly returning for more. Over the past year and a half, one name has been on steady rotation here at Delayed: Sciama. Whether it's his original productions or hypnotic mixes, the London-based producer has consistently delivered. His work has earned a home on ASC's outstanding Auxiliary label and, more recently, on Forest Drive West's OODA imprint.

Today's feature is a special treat, a thrilling journey through Sciama's set from this year's Perpendicular festival. Our ongoing collaboration continues to shine a spotlight on the freshest talent and cutting-edge mixes, and this is no exception. This is Sciama at his most exhilarating: a 130-minute thrill ride recorded late at night deep in a Spanish forest. Packed with polyrhythmic wizardry that straddles the line between halftime and techno, it's a rollercoaster of tension and explosive release points carried by a relentless groove, impossible to resist.

This is a set to get lost in, move to, and feel visceral. It's crème de la crème DJing from one of our favorites. Hats off, Sciama; it's great to have you back.

Delayed x Perpendicular: Sciama

With today’s mix, we close the chapter on this year’s collaboration with Perpendicular Festival, where we teamed up to present some of the most inspiring and forward-thinking sets from artists like Eight Fold Way, 037, Javier Marimon, Sciama, and o.utlier. 
For the grand finale, we’ve saved something truly special: a live set from Valencia-based duo Pajaro Dune, composed of Jaime Romero (aka Estrato Aurora) and composer/pianist David Ortolà (aka d_o_ppelgaenger).
If you’ve followed Delayed, you’re likely already familiar with these two. Their partnership spans over two decades; in that time, they’ve refined a distinct musical dialogue. This particular set, performed on a Sunday around noon, struck the perfect tone for what followed. The interplay between broken, raw, and distorted 606 grooves, oscillating effortlessly from halftime to low-slung tempos around 100 BPM, paired with atmospheric synths, created a hypnotic and propulsive mood.
Romero and Ortolà have found a rare balance, where their sound feels both unbound and deeply rooted, ideal for those transitional, warm-up moments that shift a gathering into flow. This music makes you move like seaweed swaying beneath the surface in the dysphotic zone, where fleeting shafts of sunlight pierce the dark.
Let this mix linger with you until the next edition of the Perpendicular Festival. And if you want to explore more recordings from this unique gathering, be sure to dive into this full playlist:

Delayed x Perpendicular: Pajaro Dune (live)

Honored to welcome Morocco-based Karim to our series, dear friend and founder of the beloved Tikita label, who I finally met at Monument Festival in 2022 after watching him open the weekend in beautiful fashion. The path Karim charts through this set mirrors that of his label’s truly inspirational and decade-spanning journey, one of prophetic timelessness and stalwart vision revealing a curatorial prowess like no other. Enter a valley of orphic rhythm and embrace this tonic for the body and mind, a rare and long-awaited mix from the artist to cast light upon a new year. Thank you Karim!

Sure Thing Mix 134: Karim

About this mix (few words from F-ON): 
"About the storytelling, well,  i can explain how the process of the recording was:
Friday night, It has been a hard and stressful day.
Everyone at home is sleeping, so I take a RedBull can from the fridge and I go to my dinner room.
I close the door, and start to record. The healing vibes start in my technics turntables and my Genelec monitors that sound very low.
I don't want to wake anyone up.
The next two hours are just for me.

His progressive sessions, profound and with long mixes, are real voyages that sail through experimental music, ambient and horizontal and dubby techno.

His productions are 4x4 experiments of low tempo with field recordings and marked spaces, where he explores timbres, textures and cinematographic structures. He is resident at the Alpenglühen and Taiga sessions and owner of the label Antimatter together with Bule.

He is also the owner of Alpenglühen (the label) focused in deep and ambient techno which explores the thin line between light and darkness.

Human Lessons #108 - Sleep Exchange

There’s something profoundly healing in the music of French duo Javier Salazar, whose output embodies the true medicinal power of sound. 

This mix takes our mind’s eye into the sunshine - grass between our toes, spliff in hand - as we get intimate with the scoops, wrapped in a warm, enveloping blanket of sound.

We hope this beautiful contribution brings you an hour of peace, just as it has for us many times over the past month. Thanks, Leo & Simon <3
