Format - Vinyl & Digital

AI-32 signals the arrival of ‘The Fifth World Recordings’, by Son of Chi (Hanyo van Oosterom) and long-term collaborator Arthur Flink. A tribute to the late Jon Hassell, who passed away in 2021, the album connects a deep running thread that goes back to the source of Chi project. Carrying on from where Hassell left off, the album takes inspiration and references from his Fourth World music concept and the ancient Hopi tradition of Native America. Illuminating the subliminal space of the arising Fifth World, Son of Chi pays respects to an inimitable force in contemporary music.

Hassell’s ‘Dream Theory in Malaya’ forms a touchstone to Hanyo van Oosterom’s musical journey, which soundtracked long, deep and reflective periods living in the cave of the Kallikatsou (Patmos, Greece) back in the early 80s. This period resulted in Hanyo’s track as Chi - ‘Hopi’ - in 1984. Hanyo met Hassell shortly after in 1987 at his “The Surgeon in the Nightsky” concert in Rotterdam - it wasn’t until twenty years later that Hanyo invited him for two magic nights of “Instant Composing Sessions” with the Numoonlab Orchestra (with a host of other artists) at the LantarenVenster, the very same stage where Hassell had performed in 1987 and also where Chi did their first live performance.

Dreamful, mysterious, prophetic, the Fifth World Recordings features the quiet yet elaborate sound of Chi awash with rich instrumentation, field recordings, and old stories by the firelight. Sketches were created with drones, loops, and soundscapes, with which Arthur Flink (also a member of the Numoonlab Orchestra) jammed on trumpet. Channelling Hassell’s idiosyncratic style, floating melodies and lyrical improvisations are parsed into the mix, where Hanyo has processed and manipulated the recordings, also referencing Hassell’s exotic scales and unique harmonics.

Additionally, the wah Bamboo flute at the closing piece is an homage to the works of Chi co-founder Jacobus Derwort (1952-2019). For this piece Hanyo used his first bamboo flute he made at the cave of the Kallikatsou in 1984. Arthur Flink answers in counterpoint with the wah trumpet, almost like the intuitive communication of the nightbirds...

Remember Chinese Whispers, Stille Post or Rikkinäinen Puhelin? That children’s game, known all over the world, that illustrates the difficulties of transmitting information, but which also reveals the creativity of discontinuous conversation? It feels like the Patterns of Perception and @awalkingcontradiction collectives have been in such a conversation for the past years across a multitude of label nights, private hangouts, and shared festival experiences.

Based in Basel, Switzerland but unhinged from national contexts, A Walking Contradiction is a label for music and research. Curated by @varuna4053, @lemont-eana and Dead Electronic Space Limited (@ltd_dead), the collective share a penchant for beats - broken and straight - yet can't help but churn out music for the quiet hours. A deeply reflective group, you’ll find snippets of their conversations on social, political, economic, and environmental issues hidden in sounds or in plain sight on the sleeves of their records.

Compiled entirely from new and unreleased material, their Patterns of Perception 102 is but the latest product of interlocutions and whispers between Basel, Berlin, Helsinki and the world in general, paying tribute to the significance of community where the legitimacy of commons is increasingly impugned. 
Levitating within a field of sophisticated textures and percussion, this set burns slowly, but with a luminescent intensity. Angular experimental ambience builds into winding, complex rhythms. Inspired minds elevate delicate melancholia into a true sense of hope.

We have invited @vincent-campfens from The Hague, the Netherlands to take us on our next musical journey. Vinsen has become a dear friend over the last few months and we have enjoyed gaining an insight into his passion for discovering deep, emotive and exploratory sounds that align with the musical direction of Above Below. 

Vinsen’s mixes stem from the heart and his personal touch is easily recognisable. This piece is no different. A warm, evolving and inviting story with admirable attention to detail. Sit back and see where the sounds take you. 

“I try to make it a place that always leaves you inspired with a feeling of positivity.”

Berlin based sound artist Sa Pa delivers AI-33, titled ‘Atmospheric Fragments’. Originally intended as a soundtrack to accompany ten short experimental films as part of a physical exhibition in 2020 curated by Manon Bernard, Atmospheric Fragments was alternatively premiered online as a digital showroom - with its music performed and recorded both live and independently in 2021. 

Atmospheric Fragments was conceived as a collaborative audio-visual project, positing the viewer inside a sonic boom of introspective parenthesis and offering a place for internal dialogues under the circumstances of a largely unknown and rapidly changing modern world. 

Sa Pa’s work presents a fresh sonic reinterpretation of urban landscapes, skylines and modern environments, procuring from its source material a whole new kaleidoscopic world of its own. The record consists of two mixes - ‘Studio’ and ‘Live’ - which demonstrate a deep explorational study of our everyday surroundings, plunging the listener into a realm of heightened sense experience and microscopic detail. Where the ‘Studio’ mix embodies the precision and management of the studio workspace and is more ambient in nature, such intricacies are exchanged for a larger, livelier sound stage and alternative sonic material in the ‘Live’ mix. 

A nebulous ocean of shifting spaces and effervescent textures, Sa Pa augments and modulates field recordings into a fluid and ever-evolving narrative. Seen through a viewfinder of deep and immersive observation, new transients, momentary artefacts and poetry in motion begin to reveal itself. In a world caught in momentary stasis, Atmospheric Fragments is a forensic inquiry into our perceptive environment, with its augmented lens placing us on the cusp of the ungraspable.

#100-MOON PATROL

Our platform has a strong connection with the vibrant Dutch scene. The sheer number of talented producers, DJs, and people interested in electronic music, in general, is astonishing. Making your talent stand out in that 'environment' is quite challenging, but when your skill is noticed, it must be for a reason. Our guest today, Bas Dobbelaer, has many reasons to be noticed. He's an incredibly talented producer and razor-sharp DJ with broad music knowledge but, first and foremost, a charismatic person and fun to be around. 

From our party with the dear SoHaSo crew back in 2018, when Bas and his comrade Viktor aka Vand, played a fabulous ambient set, until today, numerous outstanding releases, remixes, podcasts, and parties are under Bas' belt, and he's become one of the prominent figures in the Amsterdam's underground music scene. 

In light of Bas' and Vand's upcoming remix package on SoHaSo, which features works by Ultrastation, Donato Dozzy, Shoal, Gal Tsadok-Hai, and Marco Shuttle, we are happy to welcome Bas back here at Delayed. This time with a crème de la crème mix that is hypnotic in the word's true meaning. 
Deep and atmospheric with immaculate programming and seamless mixing, this mix has been on repeat in the past few days here at Delayed, and we are sure that the same destiny awaits you. A pure class from Bas!

“ The mix is a textural journey through winter landscapes and chilling April rains to welcome the violet hour of evening warmth where everything is altogether possible. We move through still meditative states, hazy slow chugs and eventually into a rhythmic dance floor euphoria. The eclectic and natural sounds allow a deep exploration of the inevitability of seasonal change. ”
