wav.world emerged out of a long-running chat exchange of mixes, tracks, and some playful speculation: If you were going to make a platform for DJ mixes in 2024, what would it look like?

Mixes are a unique type of musical expression. They capture a specific moment in time, determined by the knowledge and style of the artist. A mix is as important a creative statement as an album, remix or EP. One mix can change an artist’s career, one mix can open a listener’s mind to something completely new.

𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓯𝓪𝓿𝓸𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓶𝓲𝔁𝓮𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼.

We miss the importance that mixes used to have. So, we made a platform for mixes.

Each wav.world mix gives one artist the time and resources to create whatever kind of mix they want, to share something sonic about who they are and what they love.

Every wav.world mix will feature a longform interview with the artist which gets to the heart of what moves them—in music and in life—through text, video and image. Each edition of wav.world will feature the commissioned work of music journalists, visual artists and graphic artists.

OCCA, who's leading the Japanese techno scene both in name and fact, is recognized as one of the special figures who continues to inspire the current scene not only as a DJ but also as an event organizer with a comprehensive perspective. 

The set he performed to close DAY 2 started with a techno sound that skillfully blended roaring bass, electronic repetitive sounds that made the audience soar, and organically intertwined drums. In the latter half of the set, when the sun emerged, the audience was treated to more ravey and, at times, even sensory numbing house music, a feat only OCCA could mix up with his solid experience of self-expression in a wide variety of venues. The three-hour set is a perfect opportunity to fully enjoy his extensive library of musics.

名実共に現行のテクノシーンを牽引するOCCAは、包括的な視点を持ったイベントオーガナイザーとしても現行のシーンに刺激を与え続ける特別な存在の1人。そんな彼がDAY2のクロージングセットを務めるべく披露したセットでは、轟くようなベースとオーディエンスが昇天するような電子反復音、そして有機的に絡み合うドラムが巧みにブレンドされたテクノサウンドを用いてバトンを引き継ぎました。太陽が出現した後半の時間では、よりレイヴィーに、そして時には、感覚を麻痺させるようなハウスミュージックまでが堪能できるでしょう。彼の豊富なライブラリーを存分に堪能できる3時間のセットをお楽しみください。

Atsushi Maeda, one of the founders and organizers of rural  festival, returned to the DJ booth this year after a 12-year absence.

The time he started his set rainfall was more intense, but despite the stormy weather, the audience danced enthusiastically until the end, creating an interactive techno piece that resembled a tug of war between the audience and the DJ. Enjoy a techno journey that deeply affects your body and spirit, as if you are running through a tunnel with no light in sight, surrounded by a sense of relief.

ruralの創設者・オーガナイザーの1人であるAtsushi Maedaが、今年は12年ぶりにruralのDJブースへと戻りました。降雨の激しさがより厳しくなる時間に始まったこのセットは、荒天にも関わらず多くのオーディエンスが熱狂的に踊ることで最後まで見届けられ、オーディエンスとDJによる綱引きのような相互作用的なテクノ作品へと仕上がりました。ruralが追い求める高品質なサウンドを象徴する存在であるAtsushi Maedaによって創られた、光の見えないトンネルの中を安堵に包まれながら走り抜けるテクノジャーニーをお楽しみください。

@TraTraTrax co-founder @verraco showcases his upfront DJ style with a 90-minute mix of hybrid sounds.

"I wanted to make a mix that could be listened to at home, but that at the same time reflects part of what my DJing is today. That's why I decided to record it with an Allen & Heath Xone:92 mixer and three CDJs and inject my approach and technique, I guess. I thought about the tracklist for almost two months, trying to make it a document that can be listened today, but hopefully also revisited as time goes by."

We’ve been on a roll lately at Delayed, with the caliber of mixes coming our way steadily raising the bar. Today, we’re thrilled to feature a mix from a familiar name: our friend Malte Schumann, known to many as Caldera, the German producer hailing from Brighton. His production work consistently brings a unique spark, and that same artistry comes through when he takes control of the decks. Some artists refuse to settle into a single genre, and when approached with skill, this can be one of their greatest strengths. Caldera’s set showcases just that, steering clear of predictability and embracing the freedom to explore.

What we have here is an expertly crafted mix, technically sharp and atmospherically rich, with a track selection that perfectly balances exploration and coherence. It’s a dynamic journey through the best facets of electronic music, with a strong lean towards groovy, tribal, off-kilter techno. Starting off on a mellow and organic note, the set gradually builds momentum, morphing almost imperceptibly until it’s carrying an irresistible energy. The transitions are seamless, the flow is natural, and every shift feels deliberate.
This one deserves a spot on your essential listening list. It reminds you how thoughtful curation can transform a set into something that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
