Danish producer, DJ, and label head C.K seems to live by the same philosophy. He writes and spins some of the warmest and fuzziest house music out there, delivered with almost surgical precision.

The opening title track from Clearlight and Sentient’s Mandibles EP builds on this idea of a menacing presence living under one’s own skin

Djrum likely needs little introduction to Delayed readers.  His music has long touched on and moved across multiple locations and genres along the history of UK dance music and culture, building on it, and regularly infusing it with a sense of grandeur, of world building, and of exploring the possibilities in extended narratives

Following recent output on Amenthia and homeland favourites Nous’klaer Audio Ruben Üvez returns to Bitta with the Gazoz EP

In today's bustling music scene, where reinvention is constant, having a distinct and recognizable style can set a label or artist apart.

Across oceans and continents, the musical scenes of today stretch.

Akuratyde’s Modern Conveniences label has built an impressive collection of releases at the more personal and introspective end of drum & bass over the past several years.

Isolée stands out as one of those rare artists who never fails to stir a little extra excitement in me with every new release, especially if it's a longplayer. "Well spent youth" and "We are monster" are two of my most treasured electronic albums, and the latter's release in 2011 makes the arrival of Rajko Müller's latest masterpiece, "Resort Island," even more special.

Mark Twain quipped famously, "History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme." Or, more philosophically, events in history seem to follow a spiral path: always bending in a circular fashion towards a center but never on the same plane, creating this familiar yet fresh feel.   If Luigi Tozzi did not explicitly refer to this phenomenon by naming his latest magnum opus "Spiral EP," he must have done it subconsciously.

Mioclono take their name from myoclonus: the sudden, involuntary twitching of a muscle or group of muscles that can't be controlled by those experiencing it. Mioclono is the collaborative project of Oriol Riverola (aka John Talabot) and Arnau Obiols (aka Velmondo), and they explore this medical phenomenon on their debut LP, "Cluster 1" released on Hivern Discs.

Toki Fuko’s latest EP on Joachim Spieth’s Affin diverges noticeably from the hypnotic warehouse techno of 2020’s Astatine EP on the label, veering towards a more ambient-inflected sound.

What happens when an internationally acclaimed and sought after DJ and producer, the boss of party-turned-label Dystopian imprint, multitalented Mike Bierbach, widely known as Rødhåd, joins creative forces with talented musician, live performer, producer, DJ, and “gear-head” Sibel J. Koçer aka JakoJako, in his Berlin studio for a week-long jam at the height of Spring?

The Dutch duo based in Berlin, Robin Koek and Nick Lapien, better known as Artefakt, are starting a new chapter in their De Stijl narrative; the record label they founded in 2019 with the goal to further explore their sound and host affiliated projects and collaborations with like-minded friends. The latter takes the first significant step and starts the new series 'Collaborations.' For the inaugural release in the series, Artefakt welcomes their close friend and fellow Berliner, Claudio PRC.

Very few producers have consistently tapped into the deepest recesses of universal niceness. Or make music open to interpretation and not imposing any particular emotional charge, let alone possess the power to trigger personal memories.

Of Morning And Of Glory is the first in a series of compilations aimed as the label states to, ‘look into several special natural phenomenons and let various artists of different artforms interpret their own picture of it in their individual creative language’. Each passing their ‘answer’ to the next for interpretation.

Tellus’ Shrouded in Sun EP follows on from a raft of lovely releases across Akuratyde’s Modern Conveniences label over the past few years. The label’s delicate, lush, melodic drum & bass explorations show a continued affinity with autonomic and share its interest in the more spacious, idiosyncratic, contemplative, and bittersweet possibilities of drum & bass.

June was a joyful month for many reasons. For us at Delayed, there was a plethora of amazing music to match the nice change in weather.

In food, the art of pairing is subtle but important. Open a wrong bottle of wine with your dish and the meal is ruined: flavors either cancel each other or dominate one another or, worse, fight each other

Inspiration for music can come from a variety of places, and times. The littlest sound or setting can spark the greatest fire of musical creativity. To christen the first release of their new chill-out sub-label, Belgium-based Basic Moves looks to Sonmi451, and Dylan Thomas Hayes for a split EP, titled Gems Under the Horizon 1.
