Interviews

The times are urging us to raise our consciousness, to redefine the place we humans have here and now, and onward to a future yet to be dreamt up. For folks not quite sure how to approach this, OWL’s music is a perfect place to start dreaming.

The “Artist Of The Moment” installment - series here at Delayed was born out of the intention to acknowledge and appreciate artists whose works withstand time and who may be seen as lighthouses, inspirations, or even institutions by many listeners or fellow artists. Akua Grant, better known under their aliases Lady Blacktronika and Femanyst, is potentially one of the best examples to fit this theme

“Birds on the Playground”, Lawrence's latest album on Mule Musiq got released while Spring is emerging slowly, longer days are born to the songs of finches and blackbirds. Morning birds, one of the dearest signs for a new season to begin. We have a record here, that is as dear, intimate and playful as a good friend.

If you didn’t know about Lola Haro, you will definitely remember her after this mix and keep an eye on her. She only appeared in the scene around 2018 but won hearts and dancefloors since then - through becoming a resident at the charming Paradise City Festival as well as nailing her first Boiler Room in 2019

Sebastian Mullaert requires little introduction - having been part of Minilogue, releasing under his own name and as well as under Wa Wu We, he is a long known powerhouse in electronic music.

Do you know these moments walking onto a dancefloor, half broken from a long night but enthusiastic enough to not let go just yet, saying to yourself, “just another hour” as the sun rises? Many times, these are some of the most cherishable moments of a party or festival, especially when you stumble upon an artist you never heard of.

Kosta Athanassiadis, better known as XDB, is a long-standing institution as Dj and Producer with a significant collection of productions and memorable remixes on a variety of labels. He’s one of those, where even the older productions keep on sounding incredibly fresh, excellently produced, and relevant.

As we started to descend in solitude around March this year Delayed stumbled upon Olesia Elfa and immersed themselves in her otherworldly ambient and techno mixes immediately and deeply

It was 2015 when C.P.I.‘s “El Tunel/Proceso” EP turned heads - it was not only sounding like a spaceship getting ready for a venture but had a similarly powerful pushing effect on the dancefloors. Their EP “Meine Hand” followed in this tradition in 2018, which marks also the year when Marc Piñol and Hugo Capablanca started to work on their first LP “Alianza”, released on limited vinyl today on the adorable Barcelona Label Hivern Discs

The mastermind behind On Board Music, the record label and booking agency based in Berlin, Laura BCR is no stranger here at Delayed. Her uncompromising eclectic style behind the decks, exceptional curation at the record label, and hard work with the booking agency couldn’t go unnoticed, even here at the other side of the pond in Brooklyn

The necessity of “ good vibes”. A kaleidoscope of collective failures that are globally responded to and with frustration, calling out culture and angry helplessness

Many references have been made to the uniqueness of the year 2020, things are in question, under construction, a year that takes quite some things with their gusty winds but where there is hope for a different, better, future. It’s also the year of a new Metroplex release - Bas Grossfeldt’s “Lost in sensation” EP.

The Berlin-based composer and DJ operates perfectly at the magic intersection of art and science, proven again with his latest Jouem release “Resonance on the edge” (Mojuba/ Jouem 6).
His diverse musical upbringing reflects also in releases under his numerous aliases such as Jouem and Desolate.

Jamie Romero, better known as Estrato Aurora, has been an integral part of Valencia's underground music scene for more than 15 years. Hardware aficionado, Estrato Aurora, is known for an atmospheric take on techno and electro and his hypnotic live sets.

There was something in the air that ADE Sunday in October when Molly played her first public live set. Reminiscing ourselves holding our breath, eyes closed and hearts wide open immersing in these deep, otherworldly melodies

With quality releases on Hivern Discs, ESP Institute and WHITE - just to name a few - Andrea Mancini has turned quite some heads as a producer in the past years, but equally so as a DJ.
Cleveland’s latest EP “Gamma” on Amsterdam based label Kalahari Oyster Cult is another statement of his unpretentious but playful style

Next up as our Artist of the Moment is Leipzig based Alex Neuschulz better known as Sevensol. There is a lot to discover about Sevensol - his involvement KANN, a label close to our heart with releases that withstand obvious trends but keeps on being relevant.

We are excited to present to you our new interview series! Despite the title “Artist Of The Moment”, this is not only about recent releases but also about artists that withstand trends, that are no one-hit wonders if one could say so. It's about musical moments that last and that should be discovered.

The purpose of this new series of smaller features is to introduce an artist and give visibility to the whole scope/ oeuvre through the lens of the artist, rather than the author of the feature. We invite them to tell the story their way, in a short and simple manner.

Yanneck Salvo better known as Quarion has been a staple in the underground house music scene for almost 15 years. Geneva born, Berlin-based artist recently released his debut album ‘Shades’ via legendary Swiss imprint Drumpoet Community

Korean-Japanese producer, visual artist, DJ and ‘Sound of Vast’ head honcho, Red Pig Flower is slowly but surely becoming a rising star from the vibrant Berlin underground scene.

In the age where social media presence and the following are often more valued than the quality of music that producers make or DJs play, one duo from the UK decided to concentrate on later and let the music speak for itself

Londoner, DJ Counselling has been a part of the vibrant underground scene in London for almost twenty years, making music under various monikers and covering different genres of electronic music

Masomenos is not just another duo on the international underground music scene.

A few months ago we at Delayed were introduced to yet another talent hailing from the German underground scene, Atilla Fidan

Valencia-based artist, Core aka Daniel Kyo is not a stranger to the underground electronic music scene.

As most can attest, music and other art forms have a tendency to draw people together from all stages, and walks of life

Technology and music have forever been intertwined, with each pushing the other’s boundaries deep into the unknown and unfamiliar.

Dutch producer Boris Bunnik has been releasing material under various guises over the past two decades such as Conforce, Versalife, Hexagon, Vernon Felicity and of course Silent Harbour

The past few years have seen Australia’s Albrecht La’Brooy steadily hone in their unique spin on dance music via releases on their own label Analogue Attic, as well as Night Tide, Voyage Records and Butter Sessions.

Jordan & Enhua Bruce are a duo hailing from London, UK and Toudao, China and whilst Jordan is no stranger to production being one half of the Yard One duo and founder of Tact Recordings, his life and now production partner in this new side project marks her production debut with Tryst
