Delayed with... Joachim Spieth

In this edition, we are thrilled to feature a mix from a true stalwart of the scene, Joachim Spieth. Spieth, a familiar name to our Delayed family, is an outstanding producer and a formidable DJ. As the mastermind behind the always-reliable AFFIN record label, his dedication to precision and meticulous craftsmanship is evident across diverse musical styles. From the drone ambient music tales that soothe the soul to the hypnotic rhythms that propel us into the depths of techno, Joachim Spieth is a maestro who wears many sonic hats.

Spieth's mix takes us on an aural expedition, steering clear of the conventional. It commences with a dubby, hypnotic, and ethereal allure, setting the stage for an enigmatic voyage. A beautiful dichotomy unfolds as the soundscape envelops the listener, balancing expansiveness and intimacy. In the dimly lit caverns of clandestine warehouses, Spieth's wizardry weaves a tale designed to enthrall without resorting to the clichéd "banging techno" trope.

A transformative moment beckons around the midway point of this odyssey, where a nebulous haze descends upon the dancefloor. Lost in the undulating waves of sound, the crowd becomes tangled in the enchanting atmosphere Spieth has meticulously crafted. At this juncture, the mix undertakes a distinctive shift reminiscent of a deep-sea exploration inside a submarine, plunging us into the depths of Spieth's musical imagination.
