Mindscan Tapes, an English label that was active between 1988 and 1994, who released, amongst others, Beatronic and UK Electronics, two compilation series that had a notably wide style for the time. At the end of the '80s, it was deemed appropriate to stick to stylistic zones. However, Robert Maycock, the sole young Englishman running this DIY structure, mixed electro, early techno, ambient, experimental, house and industrial music, all while keeping it cohesive. We're still amazed to this day, with regards to the quality of these compilations, how underground his work was, best seller did only sell 30 plus copies.  Here at Delodio, we decided to select our favorite tracks from these two compilation series, with Robert Maycock's blessing, and make an album out of them, which we hope will help pay our respects to the contributing artists, and highlight the "artistic direction" work that Mindscan Tapes made, via these flawless choices. We want this album to also be a celebration of the way things were done and the typical mindset of this era from before the internet. A time when people had no other choice than to help each other out, to advance the common cause, to hopefully push their own projects forward, with the single goal of introducing people to new music. To be a transmitter amongst transmitters. Copied on demand on home tape decks, these cassettes were circulated via mailing lists that people tried to somehow promote by send flyers by post to other music fanatics, who were doing the exact same thing, to try and grow the network. "UK Electronics 1988-1994" is the sound of an era, via the very personal vision of a young Englishman who would spend all of his dole money on the production of underground compilation cassettes.

Change Fuzz

PREMIERE: M Nomized - Change Fuzz [Delodio]

Voyaging between the stars he watched from a small window looking out upon the flickering missiles in the dense black of midnight. It were as if he were a small bubble, floating through outer space, a mere dot, an insignificant entity against a vast backdrop. He did not feel small though. His destination was clear and it had been for a long time. Planet Arrakis wasn't far away now and soon they would touch down upon a new earth in which utopia and freedom would be plentiful and for all. This was the dream of the stars. 

Francesco Mami understands house music, this new EP is a vinyl only affair and comes rounded off by a remix from none other than Fred P. This is forthcoming on Bar Musica and we guarantee that it will transport you into all sorts of outer territories.

Also arriving from the More Rice camp are minimal master DOTT alongside supreme psychedelic selector, Elaheh. Prolific producer DOTT has been steadily winning fans across continents with his twisted brand of stripped techno and house. Meanwhile, Thai-Iranian DJ Elaheh is masterfully living up to her reputation as one to watch as she emerges from the Asian underground on her very own terms. Their track is a paranoid warehouse bump that pops from the speakers powerfully as subtle textures rise over earth-shaking rhythms.

Iza pseudonima J.J. (@josip-pavlovi) stoji Josip Pavlović iz Zagreba kojeg je još krajem 90-ih zaintrigirala elektronička glazba. Intenzivno prateći event do eventa - house je bio prvi odabir.

Već 2005 god. s prijateljima osniva udrugu Šum i sjena s kojom se okuplja i kao Liquid na moru koji plovi na valovima Jadranskim akvatorijem. Proizd 2008. god. i dan danas mnogi pamte, a baš na otoku preko puta Korčule se i "rodio" kolektiv s Big Sale-om i Dirty Hairy-em pod nazivom iLL Vibe s kojim su predstavljali funk i hip-hop večeri sa stranim gostima u zagrebačkom Mastersu. Uvijek rado vrti uz dj Nicole-a koji mu je ujedno 2012. god. prvi prepustio deckove da raspleše ekipu i ostavi svoj imprint osjećaja za plesnu glazbu na podiju. Nedugo Jarunsky, M.I.L.E. i J.J su kroz LTuneL program ostvarili svoj zajednički san koji je još uvijek aktivan.

Na Media Loca eventima J.J. je držao rezidenturu uz Segej Snoozea a od samog nastanka Art parka čest je gost te svojom funk selekcijom uvijek raspleše prisutne. 

Rado sluša, rado pleše, rado mrda brda. Dok ga ne ulovite negdje vani, poslušajte što je pripremio ovog proljeća u nešto laganijem ritmu od 97 - 122bpm-a na novom podcastu za VHS podcast.

I would say that now the words «elegance» and «style» mean much more than just beautiful music, it is rather the very attitude to the image you create; the mood that elegant, stylish music can bring only by its presence. And, most importantly, this mood and this image should be natural.

Delayed welcomes Seattle-based Kinj0 with Musca Humanum, an atmospheric breakbeat beauty.

The track comes in the form of a self-release Bandcamp exclusive from the Rhizome Records and Grounded parties founder.

Musca Humanum starts out quite mellow before the percussion and vocal sample enter, injecting the track with energy.  The chords then come in and together with infectious melody pay tribute to one of the greatest kung fu movies of all time - Enter The Dragon.   
Musca Humanum will be exclusively available via Bandcamp on Friday, August 7th.
