British producer Patrick Tipler spent his formative years immersed in psychedelia as a bassist and guitarist in various bands and groups. The arrival of synthesizers –along with his move to Bristol– radically changed his vision of sound and impacted on his musical direction with the force of an asteroid. This shockwave subsequently saw the birth of Delay Grounds (@delay-grounds).

After releasing the outstanding 'Onomatopoeia' [@pressuredome, 2020] and 'Upcycling' [@tropopauserecords, 2021], Delay Grounds’ output has made it clear for all to see that Tipler’s sound design skills are second to none, and with just two releases to his name he has already transformed himself into an artist to watch very closely.

Today Patrick joins the Lapsus crew to present 'Genus', a five track EP that he says "is my most personal release to date, something I've always carried inside and wanted to produce, but had never managed to articulate before". On 'Genus', Delay Grounds preserves the essence of his sound but takes things a step further, with a form of maximalist electronica, sprouting powerful torrents of high-pitched and ruff-as-rock avant-techno, glitches and mutant sound elements, combined with sweet and delicate melodies in the purest IDM style. Polishing is provided by sound engineer Nick Earle, with whom Patrick has recorded and remarkably treated a kit of "deconstructed drums" especially for the occasion.

‘Genus’ is 30 minutes of astral travelling, an experience perhaps analogous to what we would feel if we opened a vault, containing music from a lost civilization.

SUPPORT THE RELEASE

Delay Grounds - Genus [LPS28]

NOOD5 features contributions from six friends of the Noods family, consisting of Berlin based techno iconoclast Ossia, shadowy Bristol producer fresh from a highly acclaimed EP on Berceuse Heroique, Pessimist, Timedance affiliate Cleyra, Milanese sound experimentalist Katatonic Silentio, Rio underground lynchpin and RBMA graduate Valesuchi and a collaboration from Dekmantel’s Epsilove and the elusive Ployer Fower.

The record is a confident assertion of the station’s sonic ethos; filled with tense, dread-laden soundscapes that foreground the percussion and sub bass. Reverbs and delays are utilised in the true dub tradition, wringing out unconventional grooves from the negative space between the drums: it’s music for the head and the body.

Originally intended to be released on our fifth birthday hence the name, fuck it — the pandemic slowed much down so have it on our sixth birthday instead. 

Pre-order on the buy link above to be released in full 15th October.

SZNS7N w/ LCY & Hardcore Soy - September 2021

For our second outing @FiestaSoundsystem brings six tracks of eerie, densely knotted rhythmic mutations, spanning barrelling 4x4 right down to amorphous textural fluctuations.

“In an eternal instant the illusion of time dissolves. Distant memories and imminent reminders of a world without boundaries, a mass of humanity lost and found in the flickering light of the inferno.”

Following a short break, Virtual Forest Records are back with a 6-track EP by Fluid Matter (@fluidmatter), one of the three label founders.
Located on the more bassy side of their universe, Fluid Matter operates here between territories of leftfield bass, post-dubstep, and electro with hints of techno and UK Funky. A release definitely darker than most, deeply rooted in club aesthetics and dedicated to showing specks of light shining in the murkiest night.

Tracklist:
- Glowworms
- I Can Hear Your Voice
- Slug On My Chair
- Looping Thoughts 
- Looping Thoughts (Qant Remix)
- Glowworms (Solma Remix) 

All tracks written and produced by Fluid Matter
Remixes by Qant and Solma
