Two techno savants conjure magic in We Go Forest, with Spira Records co-founder BLNDFLD shaping the original track and Feral adding his hypnotic, transcendent touch. Deep and primal by nature, the release will be available digitally on November 17th.

The original track delivers a slower, calm, tribal rhythm, while “Jaguar Paw (Feral Remix)” ventures into a wilder soundscape. From the first beat, listeners are drawn into an immersive world—ancient and alive. A deep bassline keeps the mood steady, as organic and cosmic melodies weave in and out like whispers through trees, capturing the transcendence typical of both artists’ styles and within Spira’s previous releases.

Everything was thoughtfully placed, including pauses, to give space for imagery and mood to deepen, as new layers emerge with sounds reminiscent of ancient wind instruments. Subtle rain then guides us out, concluding an adventurous stroll through a forest.

An impeccably crafted track that showcases both artists at their finest.

We Go Forest

PREMIERE: BLNDFLD - Jaguar Paw (Feral Remix) [Spira Records]

Deeply emotive and engaging, the collaboration between Swiss collective Project Indigo and Hame feels destined. It wasn’t a matter of "if," but "when." The EP Self Expression will be released on December 27th, available in both digital and vinyl formats.

The final track, Stick Together, showcases Hame’s natural ability to pull on the heartstrings. With warm pads and recurring hooks, each layered with rich bass and presence, the track takes us from deep contemplation to an irresistible urge to dance—swaying side to side for one last dance as the EP comes to a close. Elegant, deep, minimal house music.

Hame and Project Indigo are meant to be. Their partnership reflects a shared vision, and we believe there is more to come from them together.

After two years of anticipation, the wait is over…

Navigare is gifting us Flesh of the Gods by one of our favourites, Ness, in a new light. This EP features five remixed tracks on the Swedish label, including Dino Sabatini's twist on "Flesh of the Gods," which will be available to purchase via Bandcamp on January 31st.

Cosmic, ambient, deep, dramatic—these four words perfectly describe Sabatini's remix. It's a subtle journey, dialed down and stripped back compared to the original, showcasing a minimal and ambient touch from the Italian techno producer. Expect a smooth takeoff and grounding.

Flesh of the Gods Remixes

PREMIERE: Ness - Flesh Of The Gods (Dino Sabatini Remix) [Navigare Audio]

Spiraling melodies and half time tempos spring to the forefront for our premiere today, titled Ravina. Portuguese artists Floating Machine and Inerte have combined talents for a contribution to the Berlin and Lisbon based event series and label, Art Bei Ton. The fifth edition of their VA series, ‘Seeing Cursed Spirits’ will soon be released that showcases a variety of sounds. All nestled within the folds of deep and hypnotic techno.

Ravina evolves, slowly but surely. Each pulse of the percussion brings new life and energy into the air. A soft pad floats in the background, ethereal and ever-shifting, creating a sense of vast space that’s peppered with bright auditory textures giving movement and spontaneity as they jump around the listener. Gradually, voices become more pronounced, their distant melodies forming a loop that seems to repeat and evolve in subtle variations, like a mantra or chant. The panning continues to play with perception, shifting focus gently from one side to the other until the ending moments as each element slowly falls away.

Art Bei Ton’s latest VA will be released on the 16th of January and includes offerings from a diverse set of artists including Viels, PEIX, and Nao Nhil.

Seeing Cursed Spirits

PREMIERE: Floating Machine & Inerte - Ravina [Art Bei Ton]

The third release on Lola Haro’s Small Steps label from Belgium sees German producer DJ Balduin step up with a contribution that embodies the label's sound. Known for his intricate, warm house basslines, clever loops, and breaks, DJ Balduin delivers a three-track EP, Everything, capturing the fleeting magic when light meets dark. Out on Valentine’s Day, 14th February, the release includes the track Somar and will be available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp.

The EP is all about mood and movement. In Somar, DJ Balduin plays with a mixture of rising and melancholic pads, including distant bird chatter and playful loops. A punchy beginning, the tracks mellow into moments of bliss, offering warmth throughout. The interplay of light and dark is palpable and emotive, evoking euphoria reminiscent of sunrise sets at festivals—those moments that shift the tempo and prepare us for another day of dancing.

Small Steps and DJ Balduin captures these intangible moments with its sound: the eye contact on the dancefloor, subtle smiles, and the pull of the kick drum as we sway.

Everything

PREMIERE: DJ Balduin - Somar [Small Steps]

Through overwhelming days and times of strife, an emphasis to look inwards and reflect seems appropriate. Outside stressors abound, almost at every turn it seems as the world claws at your mental stability. Italian producer, dj and more, Simone Gatto’s forthcoming Invisible Love album on his own Pregnant Void imprint marks a response to these negative forces. Giving space, soft moments of introspection and smooth melodies that all lend well to its healing nature.

Like a deep breath, The Secret of Quantum Life slowly begins. In and out, in and out. The meditative nature can’t be ignored, Simone’s background influences coming through in spades as warm tones envelop the listener, accentuated by generative warbles providing movement and spontaneity. As the track progresses, varying swirls and melodic eddies appear, like changes in the wind.

Gatto’s Invisible Love album will be released on the 7th of February.

PREMIERE: Simone Gatto - The Secret Of Quantum Life [Pregnant Void]

The kind of pairing we cherish at Delayed—Enrica Falqui and Claudio PRC, two esteemed artists from their shared homeland of Sardinia, joining forces on Swiss label Adam’s Bite. Lucid Dreams EP is the refined result of their collaboration. Available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp from February 28th.

Receptor opens the B-side with a hypnotic, cinematic character, driven by a dynamic bass groove. It’s a love story between minimal, house, and techno, crafted with a distinct sense of identity. Balanced tension runs throughout, with stripped-down drums underpinning the track’s deep, tenacious energy.

You can hear both of their personalities woven into the sound with understated heat. From the very first bars, it brings you close and doesn’t let go.

Toki Fuko captivates listeners with deep soundscapes and melancholic melodies. Insomnia is part of the four-track EP Phantom Scripts, set for release on 10th April on The Hague located spclnch, available in both digital and vinyl formats on Bandcamp.

A hypnotic blend of soundscapes and field recordings, Insomnia navigates us through an eerie atmosphere. An initial sense of unease, but an underlying current of reassurance lingers throughout. The track transports you to a dimly lit room where fingers glide effortlessly across piano keys, merging electronic textures with classical composition. Midway, a voice sample emerges, adding depth to the narrative and drawing you further into a world explored through sound.

Insomnia evokes the feeling of creating messages from the void and the unknown.

Phantom Scripts

PREMIERE: Toki Fuko – Insomnia [spclnch]

'A Good Moment' pure and clear,
A melody that draws us near.
A pause, a spark, a fleeting ray,
Where inspiration leads the way’

Fitting words to accompany Rene Lorenzo’s forthcoming album on Kizen Records, titled ‘A Good Moment’. From start to finish, the Spaniard occupies a space that is hard to define. One that demands attention yet, gives space. Intricate, yet soothing and comforting on the ear. A wonderful combination that catches you in its embrace, ever so subtly.

Delirium Tremens, coming in as track 8 on the 10 track album evokes feelings of security, the exhale to a long inhale. The muted kicks, and melody provide a base from which to build. Nothing is overt, no element tries to stray from that base. Each and every voice meant to compliment, and coexist.

Rene Lorenzo’s album, ‘A Good Moment’ will be released out into the world on February 28th.

PREMIERE: Rene Lorenzo - Delirium Tremens [Kizen Records]

We’re really excited to share a premiere with you from a close friend of Delayed, someone we know and love - Hassan Siddiqui, or Âsan as he is known musically. Some of you may remember that he recorded the most beautiful & immersive 4 hour journey for us just over a year ago. He has accompanied us at our Delayed getaways in the Catskills & I actually first connected with him there in that same place in the forest, almost 2 years ago. Before he & I met, he had released his debut EP ‘GULP/GAME’ as the first on his own Cellar Door, an imprint which has since blossomed into a catalog of 12 releases from talented artists as well as a mix series & premiere platform. Since then, it has been a joy to watch Âsan develop & grow as an artist.  

From afar, Âsan may appear to be in hibernation but he has in fact been meticulously crafting his sound in the shadows with an incredible attention to detail. More than 2 years after his first solo release, he returns to the public eye with a new collection of music, a 4-track EP called ‘Beychen’. In Âsan’s native tongue of Urdu, this word means ‘restlesss’ or ‘uneasy’, words that are poignantly analogous to the mood & tone of the tracks on the release. ’Bass Bin’ is a track that materialized out of Âsan’s time experimenting with the Buchla Easel. “Except for the kick and clap. Everything in the track is from that one synth. I always try to work with as few instruments and sounds as possible,” he said when I asked about the production process behind the track. “If I can find myself lost & immersed in the end result, I think the listener can too.” He expresses a contemplative, minimalistic approach to techno that is inherent to his production process - filling the space with very few elements & focusing on reusing existing sounds rather than adding more to the canvas. His low end sound choices & mixing approach give his music a very distinct sound & feel. There is this deep thump but at the same time it has a feathery bounce. ”The idea behind the track was to work with bass-heavy elements. I absolutely love working with bass-forward music but a lot of the time, bass-heavy elements don’t translate on huge sound systems where subs are already extenuated. I wanted the grooves to be wall-shaking & the kick to be a punch in the gut.” The result of this process & thinking can be heard below. We’re looking forward to watching our friend Âsan continue his artistic journey.

‘Beychen’, the 4-track, 140 gram vinyl, will be available April 1st on Âsan’s own Bandcamp & stocked at record shops worldwide.
