Berlin and Lisbon's collaborative event series, Art Bei Ton, lifts the veil on its third release, "Some Sacred Grounds." This compilation explores the world of ritualistic sounds, featuring eight international artists who traverse a spectrum of intensity over the course of seven tracks, ranging from hushed ambient whispers to deep techno pulsations.

Our premiere showcases two artists revered by Delayed: Adhémar and Toki Fuko. Teaming up, they craft a nine-and-a-half-minute "seaweed techno voyage" – a low-slung groove that constantly morphs with intricate details. The rhythmic interplay between their percussion sequences is quite hypnotic, keeping the tribalistic energy flowing without ever getting stale.
Adhémar and Toki Fuko's "Dialogue" sets the perfect mood – ideal for an opening set at dawn or a smooth transition from ambient passages into chuggy rhythms.

'Some Sacred Grounds,' is due July 16, featuring very exciting works.

PREMIERE: Adhémar & Toki Fuko -  Dialogue 1 [Art Bei Ton]

We’re all seeing it: attention spans are shrinking. Podcasts rarely stretch past an hour, and event sets often cap at two. But there’s something to be said for the longer journey, a three-hour mix that pulls you in, letting you sink into the groove and lose yourself in the unfolding narrative. That’s what this week’s guest mix brings to the table.

Romi, the visionary behind Kizen Records, has crafted an expansive set that traverses multiple facets of electronic music. A seasoned artist and world traveler now based in Berlin, Romi has spent over two decades creating atmospheric depths with an effortless touch, both in the studio and behind the decks.

This 173-minute mix is a slow burn. It starts off subtle, almost deceptively straightforward, gradually building layers of tension and intrigue. Along the way, you’ll encounter atmospheric, organic, and intergalactic soundscapes that morph into driving, liquid intensity. This is an evolving storyline that pulls you deeper the longer you listen. 
Buckle up; Romi is at the helm.

Delayed with... Romi

Rarely do albums strike quickly and establish themselves as a must-listen but Iridescent, the latest from Aussies Pugilist and Pod, forth-coming on Of Paradise does exactly that. Fans of the Melbourne based artists shouldn’t be surprised at all, Pugilist’s commanding grip on proper sound design always has his tracks on rotation around the scene. Meanwhile Pod, aka Wu Kush is no stranger to well executed housey productions, although for today, we’ll be honing in on his bass, and jungle moniker.

Mystic slides in at B2 on the 8 track release (9 with a digital bonus track). Low slung bass lines, and jungle like percussion start the track off strongly. Giving great feelings of groove and movement, as snappy bongos and flitting accents play off each other, panned too and fro. As the track progresses, a simple yet effective melody materializes - reminiscent of a night out with moody pads.

Expect Pugilist and Pod’s Iridescent release hitting the shelves, and out digitally on the 29th of November.

ACCENTAPE returns with its ninth release, continuing the series’ mission to connect artistic worlds through sound—sometimes by highlighting similarities, other times by leaning into contrast. This time, it’s a meeting in the middle. ACCENTAPE009 is a delicate convergence of tones, textures, and moods—chromatic, soft-edged, and deeply felt. The release pairs London-based Avsluta—known for her organic, atmospheric productions and deeply curated selections behind the decks—with Parisian producer and visual artist Adhémar, whose work channels color and form into weightless, meditative sound. Together, they offer a slow-blooming album that feels perfectly in tune with the season’s quiet shifts: tender light, budding branches, and long, patient days.

Our premiere today is “Black Mamba”—a track that doesn’t bite, but glides. It opens with a haunting spoken-word passage, almost ceremonial in tone, a whisper of myth and power that gradually dissolves into an airy ambient wash. The stillness stretches and morphs, giving way to a restrained tribal rhythm that pulses beneath the surface, guiding the track forward with hypnotic subtlety. Just when it seems to vanish into the ether, melancholic strings emerge, soft but striking—another layer of identity for the Black Mamba, both queenly and ghostlike. It’s a slow spell, not a strike.

ACCENTAPE009 arrives April 21 on cassette and digital.

Outta Limits Radio Show 18th July 2025

D.D. Recorded LIVE @ Salvation Sundays @ Arabella Park Beer Bar (Canada)

Salvation Sundays - D.D. (Live Recording)- Part One

Barcelona’s Obtuse Swamp has been building a catalog that values depth over immediacy, and its third release, Reef Stage EP, extends that approach. Ilayruni delivers five originals that follow different routes through polyrhythmic terrain and show a fascination with rhythm’s ability to bend perception, supported by remixes from o.utlier, Caldera, and Arsène Martinet. 

There’s a peculiar space on the dancefloor reserved for tracks that are neither peak-time weapons nor background textures, the zone where hypnosis sets in. Telepathy Tapes, our premiere for today, sits right in that territory. Its low-slung tempo carries real weight, yet the percussion feels meticulously carved, with each strike holding space rather than filling it. Vocal fragments drift through like subconscious prompts, keeping the groove alert even as it sinks into hypnosis. It’s music designed to pull dancers inward, less about release, more about the slow, steady locking of body and mind. 

The Reef Stage EP is set for release on September 30th.

PREMIERE: Ilayruni - Telepathy Tapes [Obtuse Swamp]

"Collapse" is a study in contrast, presenting the same core idea through two radically different lenses. Track 1 is a tech-funk plodstep thumper - heavy, rolling, and built to shake systems with relentless low-end drive. Its groove is mechanical yet funky, a dark engine grinding forward. Track 2 flips the formula into a low-slung chill hop reimagining, stripping the weight into haze and swing. Where the first track pushes with force, the second drifts with atmosphere, like echoes of the same collapse heard in slow motion. Together, they form a dialogue between impact and reflection - two sides of the same collapsing avalanche.
