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]

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.

Beychen

PREMIERE: Âsan - Bass Bin

Musical paths twist and turn throughout life, one never knows where the next connection can come from. Like minded people, loving the same artform or creative form of expression makes for many a ‘friend at first sight’. After meeting Luca a few years ago at Mostra, we’ve had the opportunity to spend plenty of time dancing and chatting together, enjoying our favorite musical expression. As head of his E2-E8 label, the London based DJ and curator has crafted his own path with prior releases from fellow Delayed friends Avsluta, and hems to name a few.

To mark E2-E8’s first release of 2025, the responsibility goes to a founder of the Unknown Species Collective event and podcast series, Rado aka Naturalisten and his debut titled Forms. The 6 track release, including a remix by Forest Drive West, blends a few different musical styles. Acid, ambient, deep techno, breaks, all coming forth in a nicely varied release.

Against the Tide is a floaty number, with muted, upbeat melodies providing some sense of groove and a nice counter to the darker side of the release. These tones are complimented by a steady stream of shakers and hi-hats that deftly hit in the background but don’t overwhelm the mix of panned textures and occasional glittery synth.

Expect Forms to be out on the 25th of April in record stores, and on Bandcamp.

PREMIERE: Naturalisten - Against The Tide [E2-E8]

Annuled Music is back with another gem, this time introducing Aawadh - a new alias from French producer and Cielo Records boss JC Laurent. Known for his deep, hypnotic take on techno, JC flips the script on Dyadica, an 8-track debut album that trades 4/4 for halftime pressure and lands somewhere in the 80/85 BPM zone. It’s packed with groove, weight, and that sweet spot between heady and physical. There’s room for ambient detours (Ignys), tribal techno nods (Nyteris), and and straight-up pressure with Oscillia, but the core vibe? Forward-thinking halftime drum & bass with real depth.

We’re premiering the second track from the album, Alkymis, which together with the opener Evolys kicks things off and sets the whole vibe. Eerie and energised, with a kind of ritualistic swing to it. The drums snap, the synths melt, and everything flows just right. There’s a UK breaks feel underneath, but it’s doing its own thing. Big system or headphones, club or commute, it hits. One of those tracks that makes the world move a little faster. 

Dyadica drops May 2 via Annuled Music.

PREMIERE: Aawadh - Alkymis [Annuled Music]

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, artist Pannotia, under the Pure Space label, is releasing a five-track EP titled "Cell." This EP will be available on Bandcamp from 2nd May and immediately captivates with its own twang. This sound exists within a multitude of spaces, specifically in a realm called ‘Biozone’ in which this track is titled.

The music evokes a feeling of being recharged, discovering movements and forms that have always existed within but are now imbued with cosmic influence. Bionic and poetic, it offers an undeniably sexy slow groove that holds a special place on the dance floor, built upon bass-heavy foundations and a seductive, relaxed trance – a track capable of transporting us in any direction as it draws to a close.
