Null Test - Barn '25

Will You, the Bristol-based producer, DJ, and founder of Oleeva Records, consistently captures our attention with his releases. We know he has been developing this particular project for some time, demonstrating patience by allowing it to breathe and returning with fresh perspectives and ideas—a dedication that is clearly reflected in the final output. The album arrives at a perfect moment for introspection, whether you're enjoying a rainy, cosy evening at home, listening to the crackle of leaves underfoot, or venturing onto a smoky dancefloor.

This 13-track album, 'Part of the Picture', covers a significant amount of ground, fully matching Will’s vision. It perfectly aligned with the period for me personally as I was preparing for multiple sets at our annual Delayed getaway in upstate New York. Stylistically it was exactly what I needed: options to travel different paths at different times of the day, using them for everything from gently warming up the dance floor—with tunnels of light shining through the windows—to providing a thoughtful lullaby for dancers on Sunday, when humans became at one with the sofa after many many hours moving their feet.

"Turbo Trip" by name, and a turbo trip it is. This track is squelchy, transcendent, and strikes that sweet spot between deep ambient house and techno. It’s dancefloor-focused - a trip, but with some oomph and turbo (still soft). Hi-hats arrive and immediately pick up the energy. As club season is well and truly in full swing, this is a number that will fill the room with warmth, taking things up a gear while retaining that soft demeanour Will sprinkles over every piece he produces.

'Part of the Picture' is released on October 24th

PREMIERE: Will You - Turbo Trip [Oleeva]

Loidis at Waking Life 2025

Lotus Eater performed on the third day of #Mostra25 at the Vall d'Hebron Olympic Pavilion.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Lotus Eater is a duo consisting of Luca Mortellaro (@lucy) and Seth Horvitz (@rrose1921), techno artists just as comfortable operating in the uncharted area of experimental music who have gained a cult following, both influencing and challenging the direction of contemporary electronic music.

Eschewing the typical instrumentation of techno but still inhabiting its archetypes, Lotus Eater uses synthesised sound and feedback as fundamental sources to generate both textural and percussive elements. A sense of tension and weight emerge from sources that cannot be easily pinpointed. Each release forms a complex narrative from a paradoxically simple and restrained set of sound sources.

Officially formed in 2017, Lotus Eater came to life through several collaborations over a number of years, and finally blossomed with the release of its critically acclaimed debut album "Desatura," which Lotus Eater toured live in 2018 - 2019.

2022 sees the release of the second Lotus Eater album "Plasma" and a new audiovisual live project to accompany it. "Plasma" unfolds with exacting precision by exhibiting a point of focus and expanding on it. It uses a single, throbbing pulse to generate a constellation of sounds and rhythms that form around it like a volcanic eruption in slow motion. Playing with our sense of time and weight, "Plasma" feels simultaneously slow and urgent, spacious and immense. Lotus Eater zooms into the infinite abyss and finds not just light, but fire at the end of the tunnel. Will we be saved, or will we burn?

Lotus Eater - Live - @ Mostra 2025 🖤

my opening set at the chapelle stage at this year's la nature festival 
mastered with care by Laurent New <3

at la nature festival / 20.06.25

Âsan is back on home ground with a recording from this year’s annual upstate gathering hosted by the @itsdelayed crew. It’s his third appearance on the Cellar Door podcast and his second set from the place we’ve all come to know as The Barn. As a friend once said, “go to the barn and forget everything,” and that couldn’t ring truer.

Recorded live, this mix captures Âsan closing out Friday night after an incredible set from a dear friend and the man behind "Sundays For.." series @huedj. The energy carried deep into the night, blending warmth, tension, and release in equal measure — a journey that felt both spontaneous and familiar. It's an evolving snapshot of a moment shared under those familiar wooden beams with some of the most amazing people this place brings together.

Enjoy

I met Daniel at the Above Below Festival, set in the beautiful landscape of the Chiltern Hills. He played a wonderfully dubby set, and his style and selection caught my attention immediately.

As both an organizer of the festival and a writer for the Brooklyn-based platform Delayed, his passion for music and careful selection is unmistakable. No one can describe his set better than he can himself — so I’d like to share his own words with you. 

"This set was recorded in a remote barn in upstate New York, nestled amongst the Catskill hills. It was part of a music-centered and cosy getaway with the Delayed family and friends, held to embrace the change of season, and connect people across continents. 

This one hour of selections became a special journey where time seemed to stop for me. Friends melting into the sofas around me. The set moves from delicate soundscapes, glitchy notes, warm chords, and keys to dusty vocals, galactic talk, and a groovy melody, but ultimately maintains softness and a sense of calm. 

The preparation was fairly non-existent: I just dropped 125 tracks onto a playlist. It was a mix of old, new, and many I'd forgotten I even owned or what they sounded like. A path with multiple bends and nooks emerged, guided by a sense of nostalgia, mellow lighting, and a few spontaneous choices. 

One track really stood out: "Farewell #7." I had forgotten when I bought it, but the vocals—"I miss you partner," followed by the response, "I miss you too"—made the emotion take over. I felt vulnerable, and a couple of tears graced my left cheek, as it was four years that week since I lost one of my dearest friends, Goose. He was right there with me in that moment, and it felt profound. 

Allow yourself to rise and fall with the times. Beauty is right around the corner, ready to surprise you when you least expect it."

recorded at Barn, Catskill Mountains, October 2025

Some words by Daniel.
It was an absolute honour to open the Saturday proceedings at the @itsdelayed barn getaway in October, alongside some of my favourite artists in Aspetuck, Bas Dobbelaer, Vinsen and Gilles Wasserman. The set took us from light into dark, bridging the transition in between, encouraging a soft sway, before slowly lifting the tempo. This set was recorded on a dance floor that has become one of my favourites out there. A barn, a rug, a ridiculous amount of smoke, and 18 incredible people. 
I'm sure Kim can vouch for the magic of this dance floor, having played there the year before. I've always felt connected to Kim musically, so sharing music on epicycle just made it all click into place. We regularly chat about life and send each other tracks, and I feel very lucky to have this friendship through music. Hoping one day we will get to perform together somewhere.

Some words by Kim.
I can vouch for that :))) truly a mesmerizing smokey place that barn. 

When I was invited to Above Below 2023, I couldn’t believe my ears. The very first time abroad ànd to an interesting smaller community-driven festival in the UK. I was overly excited. Daniel is one of the magnificent people of the team and thanks to them I was allowed to experience my first foreign adventure. Due to a family loss, my trip was postponed from 2023 to 2024. 😢

When we arrived in Chiltern Hills the first weekend of June 24, it was cold and rainy. Then and there I met Daniel. irl and I felt an instant connection. Musically, too, the connection was immediately very strong and since then I call him my musical UK twin for a reason. I love his soft, deep, beautiful and groovy music. Gazing in the distance, emotions running free… Eternal bliss.

This set he crafted at Barn starts in this beautiful atmosphere, light, soft, floaty and occasionally takes a dip into deeper fronts. The hope and emotions are key throughout the set but between the optimism he sometimes ventures to a slightly more deep and darker sound. The sound I’ve also been fascinated about in the last couple of months and in a world in which we find ourselves today, it is not unthinkable. Fortunately we have each other and our monthly check-ins. Talking about everything and nothing but above all about music. The thing that connected us in the first place. I am very proud and honoured that Daniel. wanted to share this mix on epicycle. I love every millisecond of it. <3

Time flies.
Music vibrates.

Playing with friends.
Music from friends.
For friends.

Happy faces fill my mind.
Smoke fills the room.
Couches disappear.
Memories blur.

Was it all real?

I remember the feelings.
I hear the sounds.

This is my gift.
My patience.

Reflectie van Aandacht

Another year comes to a close. Albeit not the easiest of them, there were still good moments to reflect back upon and cherish. So much great music, mixes, and times spent abroad and here in New York with friends afar. I’m now looking forward to some family time as they’ll be arriving soon for a week-long stay in the big city. I wish everyone joyful celebrations and I’ll see you all in the new year.
