Will You, the Bristol-based producer, DJ, and founder of Oleeva Records, consistently captures our attention with his releases. We know he has been developing this particular project for some time, demonstrating patience by allowing it to breathe and returning with fresh perspectives and ideas—a dedication that is clearly reflected in the final output. The album arrives at a perfect moment for introspection, whether you're enjoying a rainy, cosy evening at home, listening to the crackle of leaves underfoot, or venturing onto a smoky dancefloor.

This 13-track album, 'Part of the Picture', covers a significant amount of ground, fully matching Will’s vision. It perfectly aligned with the period for me personally as I was preparing for multiple sets at our annual Delayed getaway in upstate New York. Stylistically it was exactly what I needed: options to travel different paths at different times of the day, using them for everything from gently warming up the dance floor—with tunnels of light shining through the windows—to providing a thoughtful lullaby for dancers on Sunday, when humans became at one with the sofa after many many hours moving their feet.

"Turbo Trip" by name, and a turbo trip it is. This track is squelchy, transcendent, and strikes that sweet spot between deep ambient house and techno. It’s dancefloor-focused - a trip, but with some oomph and turbo (still soft). Hi-hats arrive and immediately pick up the energy. As club season is well and truly in full swing, this is a number that will fill the room with warmth, taking things up a gear while retaining that soft demeanour Will sprinkles over every piece he produces.

'Part of the Picture' is released on October 24th

PREMIERE: Will You - Turbo Trip [Oleeva]

Embrace

The city sleeps in quiet air,
I breathe alone, but you’re not there.
Shadows move where voices fade,
And I remember every name.

I lost the faces that made me be,
Saw leaving those who could truly see.
Now I stand between walls that never hear,
And the world keeps turning, but not near.

I gave so much, forgot how to receive,
Grew colder, too tired to believe.
All that once was light turned into distance,
And my soul lost its childlike existence.

Maybe love was never gone,
Just waiting in the quiet dawn.
Maybe I forgot the sound
Of someone staying around.

I just wanted a hug
To remind me I’m alive.
I just wanted an eye
To see me, with no reason why.

I spoke to walls and empty sheets,
Screamed out truths no one would read.
And time kept stealing all I knew,
Even the little that was true.

I just wanted a hug
To remind me I’m alive.
I just wanted an eye
To see me, with no reason why.

And time keeps turning slow,
But I still feel the glow.
In silence, I remain 
Embrace my name.

Embrace

OTON’s Alliance returns with 9-track album ‘Fiber Bundle’ from Parisian artist Solma. We highlighted the Belgian imprint & party series a few weeks ago with OTON’s own album & now OTON takes on the role of mastering engineer this time around. 

Solma has been bubbling within the vibrant French psychedelic scene for a couple of years. He launched his own label Virtual Forest Records with two friends in 2021 & kicked it off with an EP of his own. Since then he’s released on a number of other labels including Crescent London, Melifera sub-label Polën who we’ll be featuring in our Label Spotlight interview series soon, & Jan Swam’s Organic Signs, where he released his debut album ‘The Consciousness Of Plants’ at the start of this year. 

‘Fiber Bundle’ has this fierce, haunting atmosphere throughout the entirety of the release. The only beatless track on the album, ‘Skaub’ sets the tone for what’s to come & pulls you in right away, painting the picture of a cold & distant landscape. It evokes imagery of some kind of ice-covered otherworldly lifeform, part organic & part machine, taking deep breaths of a gassy alien atmosphere. 

Solma’s ‘Fiber Bundle’ will be available both digitally & on CD from November 7th on Alliance Records.

PREMIERE: Solma - Skaub [Alliance]

The idea of the breakbeat was born in the Bronx, but its evolution since then has been a transatlantic dialogue, a rhythmic exchange between continents that never really settled. In London, this language found its most elastic form, bending through jungle, drum & bass, and techno, mutating with each new generation of producers. The city remains a living organism, constantly reshaping itself through DJs, club nights, and collectives that resist repetition. Unknown Species, a London-based platform and event series that blends music and environmental awareness in support of endangered species, has carved out a corner for artists to explore that freedom. Its founder, Rado, better known as Naturalisten, is the musical mind behind this week’s edition of Delayed with.

This mix was recorded almost a year ago at Espacio Perpendicular in Madrid, during the first collaborative event between Unknown Species and the Perpen crew, alongside Delayed friends F-on, Fran Campos, Lynne, DB1, Felix K, Muted, Vrika, and Pillen. It’s a space where rhythm meets reflection, and Naturalisten rises fully to the occasion. The first half builds tension through shifting grooves and subtle rhythmic displacements, a controlled energy that feels alive and restless.

As the set unfolds, the edges blur. Synths stretch into stranger territories, textures become unmoored, and the intensity softens into something beautifully off-kilter, a reminder that unpredictability can be its own kind of balance. Naturalisten lets the music speak, and it speaks fluently, with groove, curiosity, and a quiet sense of purpose.

Delayed with... Naturalisten

Ehndo’s Exploration Zone marks a natural continuation of the path he began with Genesis on Penumbrum earlier this year, one where rhythm, tone, and patience meet. Released via the Brussels-based imprint Empyrean Wave, the label’s second release points toward a promising direction, an emerging platform attuned to subtle motion and refined design. The EP brings a quiet yet confident expansion of Ehndo’s palette, joined by a remix from Australian producer Al Dente.

Our premiere for today, “In Search,” embodies Ehndo’s understated craft. Its percussive liquid flow and clean sound design move with quiet logic, each sound in service of a slow-building momentum that never quite tips over. Rather than pushing forward, it circles gracefully, inviting attention through small detail and restraint. The result feels less like a peak-time statement and more like an opening chapter that defines the mood to come.

Exploration Zone is set for release on November 5.

Columbian-based label, From A Lost Place is no stranger to us here at Delayed. Since 2018 the imprint run by founder, Launaea has been a consistent presence in the ambient, deep and experimental musical worlds that we are so fond of. With past releases including notable names like Zemög, Claudio PRC, Launaea himself, and a few monster compilations, there’s something for everyone in their rich backlog.

Marking a new direction for the label, the latest forthcoming release, titled ‘parasympathetic’ finds us listening to a glittering five tracker by the German artist, YYARD. Bright melodies abound as the label states, ‘perfect definition of the artist's eclecticism, blending groove and jazz influences with very meticulous rhythms, rich and organic percussions perfectly suited for the dance floor’.

'apnoe', the second to final track on the release, takes a darker approach, compared to the emotional highs of, say, Endless Summers. A full-sounding synth lead takes center stage as it grows and grows, while snappy percussion plays throughout, providing that proper groove and infectious movement. Tracks like these are ear worms and proper for a warmup session.

'apnoe', and in turn ‘parasympathetic’ will be released on November 20th.

PREMIERE: YYARD - apnoe [From A Lost Place]

For today’s premiere we have the return of the poison dart frog aka GIFKIKKER, the Belgian imprint with whom we spoke a few months ago for our Label Spotlight series. Known for having a razor sharp, psychedelic edge as well as a deep connection to the natural world, they takes things in a softer direction this time with some light & airy drum & bass. You never quite know what to expect from the collective but they work hard to create a common thread of atmospheric consistency which really shows. They’re also committed to showcasing local talent bubbling within the Belgian scene.

The 4-track EP is the debut from Belgian newcomer Blossoms Overnight. The first track on the release, ‘Aumira’, is a beautiful deep breath of ambience with sparse, floaty breakbeats peppered throughout & a steady dubby groove. It’s a track for those moments when the sun just starts to come up over the horizon in the early hours of the morning, ushering in warmth & the promise of a new day. The EP includes a remix from a fellow Belgian artist a.brehme which was premiered recently by our friends over at Oslated.

‘GIFKIKKER011’ is set to release digitally on November 14th.

PREMIERE: Blossoms Overnight - Aumira [GIFKIKKER]



Music travels faster than ever, yet the connections that shape it still depend on patience. Sense of the Substrate, the new release from our own Griff Fulton under his Aspetuck alias, feels like the result of that slow exchange. Out on Konstrukt, the Nijmegen label that has built its identity around subtle consistency, the kind of releases where artwork, sound, and intention all seem to breathe the same air. Aspetuck’s latest record fits naturally into that lineage. Following his standout LP on Oslated earlier this year, Griff returns with a five-track EP that combines warmth, precision, and patience into a sound that feels unmistakably his own.

The record moves through slower tempos and unforced grooves, where rhythm has room to stretch and melody can take its time to unfold. Our premiere, “Subterranean Rhizome,” sits right in that zone, a track that glows rather than burns. It opens with interlaced percussion and a gentle breakbeat that sets a calm propulsion, gradually joined by flickering chords that rise like light through shallow water. Every element feels hand-shaped, balanced between the tangible and the ethereal. By the time the main riff arrives, you’re already somewhere else entirely, in that rare headspace where the body listens and the mind moves.

Sense of the Substrate arrives November 21 on Konstrukt, available digitally and on vinyl. It’s another chapter in a story that values connection over noise and craft over speed, the kind of record that reminds you why physical formats, and the people behind them, still matter.

PREMIERE: Aspetuck - Subterranean Rhizome [Konstrukt]

Echoes of Light is an independent music producer who transforms emotion, memory, and real human experience into atmospheric, progressive and cinematic sound. The project was born during a period of deep personal loss, where music became a way to survive, to heal, and to give meaning to moments that words could no longer carry.

With roots in the classic hi-fi world of the 80s and 90s, and supported by formal training in sound engineering, Echoes of Light combines technical precision with emotional depth. Years of work in mixing through the Cambridge Music Technology program helped refine a unique approach to sound design — from controlling bleed in drum recordings to shaping immersive textures and expressive dynamics.

On the technical side, the project has been strongly informed by educators and engineers such as Dan Worrall and Mark Daniel Nelson, whose in-depth explanations of plugins, dynamics and mixing workflows helped shape a deeper understanding of modern audio. The creative inspiration itself, however, comes from within: from lived experience, personal dedication and a constant search for honest expression.

Musically, Echoes of Light blends progressive metal, atmospheric rock, and cinematic soundscapes, creating tracks that feel intimate, emotional, and expansive. Every composition carries a fragment of a story — a moment of truth captured in sound.

Echoes of Light exists where emotion, technique, and storytelling meet.
Here, every track means something.
Here, every sound has a past.
And every listen is a connection.
