In conversation with Delay Grounds:

- What sort of direction did you take with this mix?

All my mixes tend to get a bit gushy at some point or another so I think for me it’s just a matter of working my way up to that point, trying to hold a certain level of intensity and/or riding the energy in and out of the climax points. I love blending the weird/groovy with the emotional, its almost like trying to confuse people as much as possible for as long as possible while maintaining somewhat coherency and then giving them the relief of a big emotional melody… something like that anyway. 

- What sort of music have you been enjoying recently?

Been bang into Severed Heads recently, a fairly new discovery for me but a seriously amazing band. It like industrial/experimental 80s vibes, a lot of there stuff is quite noisy but when it hits right it hits sooo goooooooood. Check out a song called We Have Come to Bless the House. 

I’m a big fan of Henry Greenleaf too at the moment, really top notch productions and sound design going on in his tracks. Theres one inside this here mix which is particularly excellent called Pan Strings, literally no idea what’s going there its fantastic. 

Big Loraine James fan too right now, her tracks are always quite stripped back but have a really interesting arrangement that holds my attention. The music is always cutting corners, flipping back on itself and rarely does what you think it’s gonna do. 

- What other interests do you have outside of music?

Ontologically speaking everything is pretty interesting I think, the Universe is pretty mental in general and I enjoy having my mind blown … I love Outer Space, History, Art, Food, People, Cycling all that good stuff. I just want to learn as much as possible and continue to grow as an individual and as part of a wider community of artist/producers/humans/carbon based life. It would be reductive for me to specify individual interests because everything is connected, my creative process is a feedback loop between my mind and physical reality. I am influenced and influence in return. Hope that answers your question haha..

- What should we be looking out for from you in the coming months?

I have loads of music coming actually, the pandemic has really slowed the process down which is very annoying but also fine I’m just being impatient as I’m just really excited for everyone to hear it. I have two 5 track EPs coming out over the next 5 months and a few remixes here and there. Follow Tropopause Records and Lapsus Records on social media for updates on all of this!

M+019: Delay Grounds

Eyop! 

Delay Grounds is next up for the pod! 
An immensely talented artist, his production & ideas are unique as much as they are banging. 
He's served up an hour of of club tackle, sticking on the cusp of the UK techno & bass spectrum, this got us in the mood for everything reopening. 

What have you been doing recently? 

Pat: Well.. My most recent EP Upcycling has just come out so that was really nice, it's had a really great response so I'm really happy about that. Life has been on hold which has pushed back release dates for my music which has been annoying, the last year has really thrown me out as well so I am just feeling very grateful to have things like this to look forward to. Off the back of this release I am currently putting a live show together using my modular and a couple of other bits, one or two things in the pipeline as well for this so eyes peeled! It's gonna be a dream come true playing in front of a crowd of mentally mashed up people who just wanna hear massive kick drums. I have a release coming out very soon on Lapsus Records too so watch out for that one! 


The process behind your recent EP Upcycling sounds really interesting! Can you let us know a bit more about it? 

It is a collaborative work. Myself and visual artist/sculpture Liz Naden worked together on it, the music and the visuals are made from the same materials and using the same concept so it wasn't a matter of making music to visuals or vice versa; they are inherently linked and related to one another in the purest way. The idea behind the record is upcycling waste materials into hyper realistic objects in our chosen medium. Club tracks and sculpture. We spent a few months collecting and searching for bits and bobs in skips/bins/charity shops to stockpile at our shared studio space. Then went to work recording the materials and coming up with ideas. It seemed to work really well. Taking a more methodical approach when working on a project has been a revelation for me, planning something out and then working my way through each stage of the process helps me to be more productive. I took the same approach to latest productions and it worked really well again, don't think i'll ever just sit and randomly try and make tracks ever again it's too much of a stab in the dark haha.

My next EP coming out on Lapsus followed a similar methodology, I wanted to write a dance record that was produced like some of my favourite bands so I booked some time at a studio and recorded a load of live drums. Did a load of cool things in the studio too like reamping some of the drum sounds through a guitar amp which was very fun. The other limitation I set myself for this record was that I had to start each idea using the same 2 or 3 sounds, hence the record's title "Genus". The tracks are all genetically related to each other through a common ancestor.  

Where & how did you record the mix and was there an idea behind it? 

Was just recorded at home on my trusty Pioneer XDJ-RX's. Not sure if I had an idea for it, I think in reality I'm not really that good a DJ haha (exhibit A see mix above) but it's all practice you know? I've been working on my timings for blends and trying to get a bit tighter. I am actually really happy with this mix, I think it sounds confident and flows nicely or maybe not I dunno slap it on and you can be the judge.  

What ya been digging n listening to recently?

I recently have been getting well into this band called Squid. It like the band I've been looking for for a long time. There's loads of shouty guitar bands about but it's a struggle to find bands that are using electronics at all let alone in a kind of interesting way. So yeah loads to listen to in there for me. Big Fan.

@delay-grounds could almost be seen to embody the plethora of electronic creativity beaming out of Bristol right now. Ahead of his devastatingly good Lapsus record landing, he’s provided a mix to further demonstrate just how fervent the forever cross-pollinating scene there is at this moment in time. Amongst material from fellow UK upstarts like Metrist, Will Lister and Boulderhead, there’s classics in the form of James Holden’s 10101 and early cuts from Randomer on LIES. There’s futurist club gear in plentiful supply from Karima F and Rhyw, plus a couple of tracks from Delay Ground’s new record for good measure.

Fever AM with Rhyw & Katiusha - 22 March 2025

twisted and tripped out rhythms from the ever-evolving artist, konalgad. 

konalgad is the new alias by ahmad qatramiz who is better known for his alias quatri. when looking at the story behind the word konalgad in arabic, it means: the universe of tomorrow, referring to a constructive, enchanting, yet light and floating ascent.these are all themes and ideas that relate to konalgad’s work as he leans towards the healing low end frequencies and vibrations. this is shown in full through his latest album, ‘club dream’, which was released last month via new york’s dance data label. the album ebbs and flows like a mix, seamlessly flowing through konalgad’s influences whilst ‘the record imparts it’s own kind of dance floor dream logic onto the listener, inviting us to let go of making sense of things and trust in its fuzzy logic.’

LA’s Carré kicks off the first in a two-part mix series curated by Darwin, marking a decade of the SPE:C label. Known for her subversive sets and a sharp focus on dubstep, leftfield techno, and bass-driven sounds, her contribution to the RC mix series delivers exactly that.

Darwin: "I met Carré a few years ago when she booked me for her party at Fast at Work in LA. I’d already been playing out her dubs quite a bit and had asked her then to sign to SPE:C. It was really inspiring to meet another woman as dedicated to running events and as passionate about dubstep and bass music as I am. Carré’s flair for lush, dreamy atmospheres is unmatched, and I feel honored to have been able to give her a platform to showcase that. She’s also a killer DJ and played one of the sickest after-hours sets at REEF last spring. You can check out her skills on this mix."

Darwin operates in the realm of low-end frequencies, delivering a tripped-out, sub-rattling blend of styles firmly rooted in soundsystem culture.

Her sets move with swampy intensity and hypnotic flow, drawing dancers in while maintaining a quiet versatility. A seasoned crate digger across many genres, she’s as comfortable playing back-to-back with DJ Storm, Mala or Lena Willikens as she is closing out Bassiani or Berghain’s Klubnacht.

Born in Canada, Darwin found her way into dance music after moving to London—first working at fabric in the mid-2000s, then experiencing a bass eureka moment years later at a Swamp81 party. That defining night set the course for her next chapter in Berlin, where she founded her label SPE:C in 2015 to spotlight emerging global talents like Decka, Carré, Axle, Beatrice M., and Tano.
In 2016, she launched REEF at the now-defunct Griessmuehle, a club where she had started a monthly techno-focused DJ residency 2 years earlier that helped develop her signature stripped back, sci-fi-infused sound. The boundary-pushing party brought bass music’s alien energy into the heart of the techno capital, which now calls Berghain home. 

2024 marked a new chapter in Darwin’s evolution with the launch of ABYSS, a Sunday evening soundsystem series centered on the restorative power of low-end frequencies. Blending transcendental dance music with breathwork, meditation and healing practices, the event creates a space where sound connects body and mind. ABYSS has also teamed up with Wuppertal’s acclaimed Open Ground club for an extended weekend takeover, with plans to expand the concept to other cities in the future.
