Live recording of Røpe b2b DJ Berru warming up for Marco Shuttle at Club Aura (LAUT x Casa Montjuïc) 28/05/25.

Both artists have been fans of Marco for many years, making it a true honour to play together at this event. Even though their musical backgrounds and preferred formats differ, their shared love for deeper sounds and their strong personal bond came together seamlessly in this mix.

Røpe was born in Barcelona in 1990 and lived in Amsterdam from 2015 to 2020. After regularly playing at Direct Drive’s events, he got his first residency in 2019 at Generator. Since returning to Barcelona, he has performed at events organised by labels such as Mostra, NODE, OUT Recs, Sub Radio or LAUT. He is the co-founder of TILECT.art, a cultural association and music collective based in Barcelona. His music selection leans towards deep, atmospheric soundscapes, often shifting from dense, introspective textures to brighter, uplifting melodies, always infused with a sense of elegance and a classic touch. He is a vinyl lover and prefers playing records the old way.

DJ Berru is a Barcelona-based DJ and event organiser with deep roots in the city’s underground scene. Founder of the Estratechno collective and the Escapepodcast series, he’s been shaping alternative dancefloors since 2012.

His DJ sets delve into dark, hypnotic techno with strong Detroit influences, while his alias The Option B explores acid, electro, jungle and synth-pop pearls. He’s played at clubs like LAUT, Razzmatazz or BeCool and at festivals like Festival’Era or TechnoTrippin’. He also co-curates Club Aura - one of Barcelona’s last underground gems, dedicated to deep, cinematic electronic music and video art.

Following the reissue of his debut album Dispatches, Field Records is proud to return to the seminal work of Mike Parker with an overview of his releases on Prologue — a truly original strain of steely, hypnotic techno that has touched upon many different waves within the wider scene. 

Having pioneered a hard-edged, reductionist style via his Geophone label since the mid-90s, around 2010 Mike Parker found himself at the vanguard of an emergent sound alongside artists like Donato Dozzy and Cio D'or exploring the possibilities of immersive, profoundly transcendental club music. The Prologue label came to define this cult zeitgeist, where reduction and repetition took on a truly psychedelic quality and the subtle details made all the difference. It ran from 2008 to 2015, laying the foundations for the deep techno sound that remains a vital, evolving subculture in the present moment. 

From Parker's first appearance on Prologue with the Subterranean Liquid EP in 2011 through to the Lustrations LP in 2013, he delivered some of the most incisive music of his accomplished career — teased-out rhythms carrying exquisitely engineered textures veering from the subliminal to the visceral, locked into endless, cyclical oblivion and maintaining a stern, machinist veneer.  This collection on Field Records combs through Parker's Prologue output and makes a considered selection, gathering key pieces from the first two EPs alongside six of the album tracks on a triple vinyl pressing, alongside a further eight cuts on the expanded digital edition.

Not just a straight-forward reissue, consider Epilogue a thoughtful reframing of a key point in Mike Parker's stellar career. In every exacting pulse, every inch of tacit spatial design, it's the work of an expert sculpting a sound which remains influential in the here and now.

Mike Parker - Forward (Donato Dozzy Remix)

Spanning multiple decades, the friendship between Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth started with contributions to Kompakt’s Pop Ambient series in 2001. At the time, neither could anticipate how the future or their respective artistic paths would unfold. Over the years, both have been a guiding presence throughout their careers as they delve farther and farther into ambient and beyond. Striving for only the utmost quality in productions and expression of self.

Coalescing in 2023, the pair combined their musical talents for their first album together titled, ‘Overlay’ released on Spieth’s label, Affin. Deep, rhythmic, and bathed in texture, it marked the next musical evolution and a harbinger of what is to come.

Enter ‘Conversion’. The seven tracker builds upon themes established in ‘Overlay’, a melding of layered textures and encompassing percussion, giving a sense of weight, heavy with emotion. Our premiere for today, Vortex smoothly enters the mind, with comforting pads, and a subtle uplifting notion. The warmth from the drone-like melodies is echoed into the steady muted kicks that provide an energetic boost to the track.

Vortex, and in turn ‘Conversion’ will be released on October 3rd via Affin.

PREMIERE: Guentner Spieth - Vortex [AFFIN]

• Crescent Textures #138 • fleika

Fleika grew up during the heyday of Prague’s rave culture, coming of age as a DJ in booths built for a single night only. The Czech techno renaissance shaped him, and the newly born club culture soon embraced him as one of its main protagonists.

Industrial ruins and modernist landmarks marked Fleika’s journey through the blooming nightlife, imbuing his craft with intuition and technical precision. His sets humbly showcase his ability to hijack the mind of a listener. He prefers a quiet dancefloor - no cheers, no chants - just a stomping crowd, locked in their own heads.

As an Ankali resident, he digs anything that kicks, melts, or makes the mind trip, but he thrives most when diving into the vast depths of hypnotic and psychedelic techno - as deep as it gets.

Readers at Delayed may be aware of our pilgrimages upstate to our home away from home. The long weekends away at a place we affectionately call the ‘Barn’ serve as a mental recharge, and rejuvenation of creative inspiration, not to mention time spent together with close friends. During one of last years’ editions, we were grateful to spend time with Lisbon based artist, Verena aka Ena B. Her passion for music, and penchant for creating ethereal vocal ambient tracks all contributed to a fit in with our crew of fellow music nerds and producers.

Marking a new chapter in her musical career, Ena’s forthcoming self release teases a darker, techno edge. She forgoes the light, melodic pads of the past and dives into the depths of a grittier, harder sound. Fernweh, our premiere for today is a slow burner, building tension with every beat. The kicks and spacey textures laying the groundwork for a swelling crescendo of synths later. A moment that would be right gracing any club or dimly lit room, full to the brim with writhing bodies. 

Building on these themes is a 5 track offering titled, ‘Nightwalk’ that will be out soon via Mexican imprint Secuencias Temporales. Between the two releases, it’s a 1-2 punch of deep techno, and breaks that shows off her production chops.

Fernweh will be out on her Bandcamp, the 3rd of October.

Artwork by Clément Davout
Released by Oslated from Jeju Island, South Korea
Release Date: October 06th, 2025
Format - Vinyl and Digital

Adhémar first solo release on Oslated drives us into the geological matter of the mountains. Composed of an ecosystem of the artist's own sounds, which unfold organically, “Mountain View” reveals the life of these alpine spaces. Between panoramic views, melting snow, birds chattering the pine trees and the rolling of stones, each detail places us in a different point of view.

On paths, valleys and ridges, a trail through the sounds and memories of the mountains.

Hailing from Raw Culture, Anna Funk Damage returns with his third release on the Roman label, delivering a record as fierce as it is intimate. Tarantola was born out of a winter suspended between contrasting emotions – melancholy, anger, love, confusion – distilled into a sound that transforms personal fragility into collective energy. There’s no pursuit of perfection here, but rather an urgency running through the veins, taking shape across supersonic punk, wave, ambient and industrial.

Each track is an emotional fragment, a bite that leaves its mark: from the electric tension of Vivere Distaccati to the feverish rush of Trasmissione, from the rawness of Decadente to the hypnotic title track Tarantola, which embodies the beating heart of the album. 

Side B unfolds into more nocturnal and intimate landscapes, from Chiang Mai to the disenchanted sincerity of Lavoro Troppo, closing with a party that carries the bittersweet taste of reality.

Tarantola is a journey into the chaos of human emotions, an album that doesn’t just narrate but pulls you deep into its sonic labyrinth, giving noise back its vulnerable yet powerful soul.

All tracks written and produced by Andrea Natale.
Thanks to my boy Giova for believing and trusting my ideas. And also wanna thank those who indirectly influenced me in some way, like Oreste, Fabio Sechzig, Sandra Mason, my incredibile family. Last but not least Ian Curtis, Swans and Dead Kennedys.

Distribution: Kompakt

Living legend Cosmic Force is welcomed on Something Happening Somewhere for an all-out electro affair including a collaboration with national treasures Legowelt and Orgue Electronique. As the name implies, Transmitting Illicit Logic is a tale that can’t be understood solely with our binary brain cells. Reality always escapes the corridors of the mind and fails to be caught in it’s believed opinions and oppositions. Cosmic Force is here to guide you through the maze and helps you to relax these muscles, trading it for a more direct energetic connection that will put you into hyperspace. 

Mighty Envy is an unforgiving piece of arp centred electro, pushing the envelope without letting go of the gas pedal. Pulsating bells along the way signal you onto the cosmic runway, there is no space left except to surrender. Haunted By My Past accelerates to even further places. Inspired by EBM it’s a funky dance floor workout in which a sexy AI tells you everything about you you’ve never wanted to know. The great digital escape, you’re trying to make way to the reboot button but finally find out the damn thing doesn’t exist.

In Transmitting Illicit Logic we first encounter an older AI model which got stuck in one of its own created habits and as a consequence is only left spitting out deranging synth arpeggio’s. After we pass him we find a doorway to a hidden bar… the rest is history. Grand Theft Auto meets stripped back robot moves. Finally, we have Silicon Scally remixing Transmitting Illicit Logic, warping you to an even tougher and weirder dimension.
