PREMIERE: Caldera and queniv - Rhymo [DANS]
Sometimes music becomes a place. For Caldera, that place was Jevvers, a music studio hidden in a Brighton grove, where leaves rustled against the glass and machines glowed in the dim light.
For nearly a decade, Jevvers was a refuge, a test lab, a temple. Now, Caldera is closing the door on that chapter. His new EP, Last Transmissions From Jevvers, out soon on Polish label DANS, is both a love letter and a farewell. Five tracks, recorded between 2018 and 2024, soaked in the hush and warmth of his private world. You can almost smell the damp earth and hear the rain outside the window.
Caldera’s never been one for sticking to rules. His music slips between styles - dub techno, broken beats, and ambient textures, all filtered through his own quiet intensity. On Last Transmissions From Jevvers, that chameleon quality shines.
Today, we are happy to shine the light on “Rhymo.” Here, Caldera joins forces with queniv, one of the core members of Amsterdam’s De Lichting collective, and definitely not a stranger to Delayed. The two built “Rhymo” under pandemic skies, trading stems and sketches over the internet while the world held its breath. No shared studio sessions, no late-night takeout runs, just distant screens and a shared instinct for sound.
The result is a track that feels alive and weightless. “Rhymo” rides a supple, broken groove, punctuated by crisp percussion that flickers like sunlight on water. Pads swell and recede, carrying warmth and subtle melancholy. Melodic threads drift in and out, leaving space to breathe. It’s music for private moments and sunrise dance floors alike, introspective yet gently propulsive.
Last Transmissions From Jevvers arrives July 18. Until then, let “Rhymo” guide you into a world half-hidden, where memories echo and new paths unfold.
