PREMIERE: Caldera - Ascending Through Leaves [Melifera Records]

Malte Schumann, or Caldera as he's known to us, is a producer with a knack for innovation. His music consistently feels fresh, unexpected, and engaging. Oddball in the best way. From Kimochi Sound and Nummer to Bokhari Records and Flippen Disks, Caldera brings a fresh perspective to whatever electronic subgenre he tackles.

His latest offering, the "Triangular Passage" EP on Melifera Records, is no exception. Inspired by his set and visit to La Vallée Électrique Festival in 2023, this genre-fluid project takes us into the darker corners of electronic music, drawing influence from the natural world and its sounds.
Our premiere today, "Ascending Through Leaves," straddles the line between halftime and low-slung techno, a territory we at Delayed are always happy to explore. The track conjures a murky, fluid atmosphere, like walking through a dense forest at dawn. Caldera's studio expertise shines through here, with truly impressive sound design.

The "Triangular Passage" EP features three original tracks and a remix by LOIF and will be released on Melifera Records on May 12th.
