Favorite Mixes from September 2022
The season of outdoor partying is slowly coming to an end. After another summer for the books, we are excited about what the upcoming months will bring, both music releases wise and dance floor-wise. Our list of favorite mixes features some usual suspects as well as some of our long-time favorites that haven’t been active so much lately when it comes to posting DJ mixes. There are also some fabulous double-header radio shows that highlight what's new cooking in our scene. Dig in. There’s quite a variety to choose from!
Lawrence - For Playful Manners @ Kiosk Radio, September 11, 2022
It's not a secret that Peter Karsten, aka Lawrence, has been one of our personal favorites here at Delayed for the longest time. His subtlety when behind the decks goes in perfect sync with the lushness that is coming out of his studio, and we just can't get enough of it. The latest mix we heard from the German maestro is a beautiful, deep, groovy, and magnificently smooth ride in a typical Lawrence fashion. The mix kicks off Adi and Walrus' For Playful Manners radio show residency at Kiosk Radio. They couldn't have asked for a better start.
Cleveland - Suzi @ Kiosk Radio, September 13, 2022
Another gem from Kiosk Radio comes from Andrea Mancini, aka Cleveland, and his monthly residency, Suzi, which is named after his record label. The mix was a perfect momentum build-up ahead of the second release on Suzi, courtesy of New York City's own Josh Abramovici, aka Downstairs J. Cleveland keeps the energy up throughout the mix with constant changes in the groove that keep the listener engaged until the end.
Sewer Sender avec Motherwise & Martinou @ Rinse FM, September 16, 2022
Our first doubleheader comes from Martinou and Motherwise as a part of Sewer Sender's radio show on Rinse FM. The show is a deep house extravaganza which, in moments, takes excursions into electro and breaks, especially during Martinou's hour but nonetheless keeps the same wonderful atmosphere.
Vand - SubRadio Bcn, September 9, 2022
Amsterdam's Vand delivers his signature quirky, deep, percussion-driven style in the latest radio show on Barcelona's SubRadio. The mix is well suited for after-hours on the dance floor. Hazy, dark dance floors.
NCOL @ Harmony & Nite Vibes Open-Air
This mix is a true techno energizer from Prague-based NCOL, who played this set during the sunrise somewhere in the forest on the outskirts of Prague at the Harmony & Nite Vibes party. If you need a workout soundtrack, look no further.
Niclas Gillich - Sunday Drippin’ x Patterns Radio #2 @ Radio D59B
Patterns radio founder Niclas Gillich paid a visit to Berlin-based D59B Radio and their Sunday Drippin' sessions. When you give a true music enthusiast and walking music encyclopedia such as Niclas an ideal setting such as D59B cafe, the result is - this 4+ hours long mix with an impeccable track selection ideal for your next downtime.
Slunty - Motion Cast vol. 84 @ Super
This is the recording from the set Philadelphia-based Pontiac Streator played under his Slunty moniker at Super in Aarhus, Denmark. The set is driven by energetic broken rhythms, from drum & bass to half step to dubstep and beyond. It would smash any given dance floor, that's for sure.
Manamana - KANNMIX 50 @ Escape To Olganitz
Is there a better way to celebrate KANN's 50th podcast jubilee than the music marathon from the boys themselves, Manamana. 3 hours and 40 minutes recorded live at Nachdigital's Escape To Olganitz Festival in July this year bring the recognizable, infectious, uplifting house music, a style that this magnificent Leipzig duo is known for.
Joachim Spieth - XLR8R Podcast 764
Outstanding German record label AFFIN celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. The mastermind behind the label, talented Joachim Spieth, made this special mix featuring only releases from AFFIN, and it's magnificent. Joachim masterfully builds tension without sounding dull or intense. It's a wonderful celebration of one of our favorite record labels. Well done, Joachim! To many more years of AFFIN!
Luigi Tozzi - Black Wave 051
When someone mentions deep techno, few can match the consistency Italian producers have been delivering in the last decade. One of the producers who is an integral part of the whole movement is Rome-based Luigi Tozzi. Over the years, Luigi's style evolved into atmospheric, dubby techno that bursts of textures that make all the difference. The mix Luigi made for Lithuania's Black Wave is a powerful and hypnotic journey, an ideal listening for your next road trip.
F-on - Seasonal Shift 006
There are some DJs whose mixes we just can't skip and not listen to. Alfonso Pomeda, better known as F-on, is absolutely one of them. With each new mix from Madrid-based maestro, we learn so much, whether it is how to pace the marathon mix, or how to develop the storyline, or countless tracks, new ones, or the ones you simply forget. The mix F-on made for Hadal Resonance, and their 'Seasonal Shift' podcast series is a perfectly paced excursion that slowly develops from ambient into low-slung techno, which further explores the depths of atmospheric tribalism. Yet another blissful journey from the DJ that never ceases to impress us.
Call Super at Dekmantel Festival 2022
It's been a while since we heard a DJ mix from Call Super, who always manages to take us for quite unique rides and this mix is no different. This eclectic mix is recorded live at this year's Dekmantel Festival and is a perfect example of why we love Call Super so much. Its unpredictability and uplifting energy make this mix such fun listening.
Dino Sabatini - DifferentSound Podcast #144
If you are into deep hypnotic techno, look no further because Italian techno don Dino Sabatini brings some serious peak-time techno vibes in his latest mix for DifferentSound. It's dark, driving, and trippy, the style that puts Dino above 'the noise.'
DJ Voices and Kia - Nothing in Moderation @ The Lot Radio, September 14, 2022
This marvelous b2b set is courtesy of two DJs that are driving forces in their local scenes and, without a doubt, well-recognized worldwide. DJ Voices has been one of the most exciting DJs on a vibrant NYC scene in the past few years. The resident at beloved Nowadays and The Lot Radio and co-founder of the Working Women project, Kristin Malossi, aka DJ Voices, keeps delivering forward-thinking, groovy, and eclectic mixes. DJ Voices’ b2b partner for this occasion is Melbourne's own Kia, whose unstoppable rise couldn't go unnoticed across European electronic music scenes as well as here in Brooklyn, where she recently played at Public Records and Sustain-Release Festival. From half step to drum & bass and beyond, this b2b set is polyrhythmic and intricate and it will keep you dancing throughout the journey.
Downstairs J - Live from the Pool
An absolute gem of the set! Recorded live by the pool at Glenn Falls Weekender, Brooklyn's Downstairs J brings tranquility and relaxation with this 3-hour set. Get cozy and enjoy this fantastic mix.
Orca Silent - DUBBISM #057
Vancouver Island-based artist Orca Silent is not a stranger here at Delayed. His talent for storytelling and programming makes his mixes enjoyable to listen to. In his latest mix for the Dubbism podcast, Orca Silent delivers an atmospheric, dub techno journey that perfectly represents the style we fell in love with when we first heard his mixes.
Valentino Mora - Slam Radio 509
It's been a minute since we heard a DJ mix from Valentino Mora. And boy, how we missed it! This two-hour mix, exclusive of Slam Radio, sees peak-time Valentino in action. Tour De Force techno doesn't lose intensity for a moment and is a genuine energizer.
Claudio PRC & Ina Katz - Deepartment Summer 2 @ Radio D59B
Berlin connection all the way here. In the beautiful setting of the D59B bar, Claudio PRC once again brings magic with his Deepartment sessions. This time Ina Katz joins him behind the decks, and the two deliver a remarkable journey that slowly unfolds from Claudio's lush ambient and downtempo to Ina's hypnotic and deep excursion through house and techno.
Molly & ABI - Rinse FM, September 24, 2022
After a few months' hiatus, Molly is back with her Rinse FM residency. For the September edition, Molly welcomes the founder of Breakfast Club and RA+RE records co-founder ABI. During these two hours, Molly and ABI visited all corners of house music and created a party atmosphere. A highly recommended listening.
Nathan Kofi - SoHaSo Podcast Series 050
