ABSIS' 'Speed Traces' is a track that instantly caught my attention with its hypnotic beat and captivating rhythm. The track is part of 'Saw' EP, which deep dives into the world of low-slung techno. 'Speed Traces' features a half-step rhythm that creates a groovy, almost trance-like atmosphere, drawing the listener in and keeping them hooked from start to finish. The percussive elements are intricate and precisely layered, resulting in a rich, dynamic sound that evolves throughout the track. The two sequences within the track flow seamlessly, each building upon the previous one and creating a sense of momentum that drives the track forward.

The track has a specific energy that's hard to describe but impossible to ignore - it's the kind of track that grabs you by the shoulders and makes you move. I can imagine this track coming on in a dark club, with the strobe lights flashing and the bassline vibrating through the floor (oh wait, that's exactly how ABSIS' set at Mostra sounded and looked like!). 
The rich and nuanced sound design shows ABSIS' expertise in producing techno, and the overall mood and atmosphere of the track make it a perfect addition to any techno set.

Saw EP is coming out on April 21 via the consistently good German record label AFFIN.

PREMIERE: ABSIS - Speed Traces [AFFIN]

For their latest release, Harmony Rec. welcomes fellow techno head from Prague, Trevor Linde, who delivers the energetic 5-track EP 'Whispering Thru the Mask,' which showcases his ability to blend different techno sounds to create unique compositions. 

The Shoal 'Traveler Remix' of 'Sensitivity Reset' is a truly mesmerizing track. Unlike the other high-energy techno bangers on the EP, Shoal takes a slower and more deliberate approach, building the track up from a rumbling groove and trippy percussion to a lush, dreamlike soundscape. The combination of crispy bells and rich pads in the second part of the journey creates an ethereal atmosphere that draws you in and holds your attention until the end. It's the kind of track that makes you want to close your eyes and get lost in the music, letting it take you on a journey to another world.

Shoal's 'Traveler Remix' of 'Sensitivity Reset' is a masterful display of the producer's skill and artistry. The track's intricate percussion and rich textures demonstrate Shoal's attention to detail, while the slowly evolving soundscape showcases his ability to create a captivating atmosphere. It's a true departure from the original track, with Shoal injecting his unique style and sensibilities into the remix. The result is a deep and immersive techno experience perfect for getting lost in, whether you're in the club or just zoning out at home.

'Whispering Thru the Mask,' EP is coming out on April 28, 2023

Summer mixtape 2023/2024

Delayed is a source of deep, minimal, and micro house, techno, ambient and beyond. Follow us for new mixes, fresh releases, and exclusive interviews with distinguished and rising artists.

Founded in Brooklyn and run by a team of music producers, DJs, and perpetual music addicts.

Walker (Aust)
South East Queensland, Australia

As a multi-talented presence in QLD’s music landscape, Walker resists genre-defining labels and channels the spirit of openness that was once the default in electronic music.

Walker’s talent breathes its way through his musical output. “Music is always evolving, nothing stands still....And that’s exactly how I like it”.

His artistic perspective comes from a life thoroughly lived, and his talent comes from an obsession in finding a way to express it

“My first loves will always be house, disco and techno, and that’s what I’ve become known for, but there’s much more freedom when we paint outside of the lines”, he explains in a recent interview with the Dance Culture Vibe podcast.

Walker approached the industry by creating events that cater to a more niche audience in his earlier days. These events, called "Sookyfuq" (ran in conjunction with Impact Events) provided a safe haven across QLD and Northern NSW for house & techno enthusiasts to enjoy a more pure experience in a region not typically known for traditional house and techno music. When asked why he feels compelled to manage events, build the scene’s infrastructure and nurture new talent, Walker is of the view that “A rising tide lifts all boats”. 

His deep house releases on Buxton have been guided in part by label owner Adam Swain. The two have shared endless discussions on how meaning is created through music and the way in which Buxton bring it to their releases. One of Walker's releases via Buxton Records, "Love generated through perseverance" received some high profile air time by world-class DJ & Producer, Dennis Ferrer, during one of his Boiler Room sets.

Walker enjoys a DJ residency each month at his local social club, Elsewhere. "This is my favourite room and booth to play in the country! In my opinion, it is one of the top 5 clubs in Australia. Not many clubs sit in that top tier of club-royalty in Australia for consistency audiences, years of operation and music policy". Elsewhere is a venue that he considers to be the Gold Coast creative hub where “My relationships, profile and creative brain are tickled each week!”. Walker holds the relationships he has with his "teachers and mentors" in very high regard, having the opportunity to work with many legends of the national scene, since starting in 2010. His close mentorship with Audun (2013-2015) and Giv (2021 to present) at Elsewhere has been invaluable in learning the true art of the craft. 

A talented musician and a vital presence.

Supports: Doorly (UK), Hernan Cattaneo (Argentina), Sunshine (Melbourne), Jay Shepheard (London), Roy Davis Jnr (Chicago), Egbert (Netherlands), Jozif (London), Marcus Worgull (Köln), Riva Starr (London), Michael Mayer (Germany), Santé (Berlin), Little Fritter (Gold Coast), Philip Bader (Berlin), DJ T (Berlin) & and the Cocoon Heroes (Seth Troxler, Magda, Sven Vath & Ritchie Hawtin) at the Brisbane leg of the Future Music Festival 2013.
