Toki Fuko captivates listeners with deep soundscapes and melancholic melodies. Insomnia is part of the four-track EP Phantom Scripts, set for release on 10th April on The Hague located spclnch, available in both digital and vinyl formats on Bandcamp.
A hypnotic blend of soundscapes and field recordings, Insomnia navigates us through an eerie atmosphere. An initial sense of unease, but an underlying current of reassurance lingers throughout. The track transports you to a dimly lit room where fingers glide effortlessly across piano keys, merging electronic textures with classical composition. Midway, a voice sample emerges, adding depth to the narrative and drawing you further into a world explored through sound.
Insomnia evokes the feeling of creating messages from the void and the unknown.

Time flies—what started as a platform to spotlight music we love has reached an incredible milestone: our 500th premiere. Over the years, we've witnessed trends emerge, evolve, and transform into something entirely new. Within these 500 premieres, we've featured a kaleidoscope of styles and genres, but at the heart of it all, the music has always been deep, introspective, and original—an authentic reflection of the artists who create it.
We're thrilled to present Ojalá by Dutch artist Love Over Entropy for this special occasion. Taken from the long-awaited album "To Sit Quietly Where Everything Is Moving Fast," set to be released via Something Happening Somewhere, this track radiates optimism and quiet determination—qualities that feel perfectly encapsulated in its title.
Ojalá unfolds with gentle confidence, its uplifting keys and delicate arpeggiator lines moving together like a conversation that flows without effort. There's an understated elegance here—a lightness that never veers into excess. Each element breathes in unison, giving the track a natural, organic momentum.
The word ojalá, with its roots in hope and possibility, feels like a guiding principle for the music. It's as if Love Over Entropy has captured that sentiment and translated it into sound: a wish carried forward, subtle but powerful.
With this milestone premiere, we're reminded of why we started this platform: to share moments like this, where music connects us not just to each other but to something more profound.
Here's to the next 500 premieres—and to Ojalá, a track that reminds us of the beauty in looking forward.

As a new gate opens, the rite continues; our reach into fourth worlds and mystic imagination deepens. The Golden Triangle marks the first chapter of a two-part solo album by Siamese Twins co-founder Sunju Hargun—the first solo release on his label. Two years in the making, this deeply personal work reflects his extensive experimentation, collaboration, and grounding within an ethereal, imaginary universe.
Rooted percussion forms the foundation of these tales, with haunting patterns that evoke visions of the past—visions untethered from conventional structures. The album incorporates instruments inspired by the rhythms and grooves of Phlaeng Luk Thung, while capturing the pulse of everyday life in the kingdom of Siam.
Recorded entirely in Bangkok at TMM Studios and staying true to the label's spirit of cross-cultural interaction, the album also features contributions from visiting artists. The Golden Triangle is a personal cartography reflecting Sunju's roots, exploring new routes and means of communication toward the cosmic unknowns surrounding him.
Today’s premiere is the mesmerizing title track, The Golden Triangle, a reflection of Sunju’s distinctive style—bridging diverse worlds to craft a realm entirely his own. The track unfolds with a meditative calm, drawing listeners into a serene space where time seems to dissolve. It’s a portal to higher consciousness, where every sound floats effortlessly, and the weight of reality slips away.
The release also features two outstanding collaborations with GiGi FM and Konduku.
The Golden Triangle is set for release on March 1.

The kind of pairing we cherish at Delayed—Enrica Falqui and Claudio PRC, two esteemed artists from their shared homeland of Sardinia, joining forces on Swiss label Adam’s Bite. Lucid Dreams EP is the refined result of their collaboration. Available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp from February 28th.
Receptor opens the B-side with a hypnotic, cinematic character, driven by a dynamic bass groove. It’s a love story between minimal, house, and techno, crafted with a distinct sense of identity. Balanced tension runs throughout, with stripped-down drums underpinning the track’s deep, tenacious energy.
You can hear both of their personalities woven into the sound with understated heat. From the very first bars, it brings you close and doesn’t let go.

Will You, founder of Oleeva Records and Bristol-based producer and DJ, is one of the few UK artists carving out something distinct within this space of house music. Is It 2 Late is a standout from his latest EP on Berlin-based Stólar, featuring top-tier collaborations with Lb Honne and Orion, and is set for release on vinyl and digital formats on 28 February.
The track carries a raw UK essence, fusing gritty vocal samples with a soft, ethereal flow. Its smooth tempo and euphoric layers come together with ease, offering subtle surprises as it progresses — a testament to Will You’s sharp craftsmanship and his deep understanding of the emotions that reside on the dancefloor.

Winter has a way of slowing things down. Certain comforts stand out in the quiet of these colder months—a warm drink in hand, the familiar weight of a well-worn sweater, and a mix that carries the depth and warmth of something tangible, something analog. That very sensation defines the work of our next guest in the “Delayed with…” series: Velvia, a multidisciplinary artist from Paris whose love for analog textures runs through his photography and music. Whether capturing light on film or digging through his ever-expanding collection of records, his approach is driven by a deep appreciation for detail, process, and the imperfections that make things feel alive.
Marking a special milestone, Velvia takes the reins for the 150th edition of the series, guiding us through the submerged world of dubby house and techno, where atmosphere dictates movement and groove follows instinctively. The transitions unfold with an understated elegance, weaving together sounds that resist rigid categorization. Somewhere between structure and spontaneity, this mix lingers in the undefined spaces, embracing the beauty of subtle shifts and evolving textures.
Much like the film stock he takes his name from, Velvia’s work is all about depth, contrast, and a heightened sense of reality. This mix is no different. It doesn’t just fill the room; it sharpens the details, deepens the shadows, and brings the moment into focus.

The third release on Lola Haro’s Small Steps label from Belgium sees German producer DJ Balduin step up with a contribution that embodies the label's sound. Known for his intricate, warm house basslines, clever loops, and breaks, DJ Balduin delivers a three-track EP, Everything, capturing the fleeting magic when light meets dark. Out on Valentine’s Day, 14th February, the release includes the track Somar and will be available in digital and vinyl formats via Bandcamp.
The EP is all about mood and movement. In Somar, DJ Balduin plays with a mixture of rising and melancholic pads, including distant bird chatter and playful loops. A punchy beginning, the tracks mellow into moments of bliss, offering warmth throughout. The interplay of light and dark is palpable and emotive, evoking euphoria reminiscent of sunrise sets at festivals—those moments that shift the tempo and prepare us for another day of dancing.
Small Steps and DJ Balduin captures these intangible moments with its sound: the eye contact on the dancefloor, subtle smiles, and the pull of the kick drum as we sway.

There’s something special about clicking with someone musically, aesthetically, and on a human level. That’s exactly how we feel about our collaboration with Mostra Festival, which is entering its third year. We’re thrilled to introduce some of the talent performing at the 2025 edition and to continue this creative exchange with our friends from Spain.
Mostra 2025 happens April 17-20 at two brand-new locations. With two waves of artists already announced, it’s clear that the high bar set by previous editions has once again been met. Expect the finest in ambient, experimental, avant-garde, and techno. The final wave of artists will be revealed tomorrow, February 12—keep an eye on the festival’s socials for the full announcement. More details on the lineup, new venues, and everything Mostra-related will be coming soon to our page.
Today’s guest mix comes from an artist we’ve been following closely: Mariachiara Troianiello, aka Katatonic Silentio. An Italian producer, DJ, and researcher, she moves between electronic music, performing arts, and sound studies, blending abstraction with club energy. Active as a DJ for over 15 years, her sets oscillate between an analog past and a fast-moving future—sometimes dreamy and introspective, other times razor-sharp and unpredictable.
This January, she was part of ExtraMostra event at Berlin’s OHM, where Mostra & Midgar joined forces. Alongside DjSport, Forest Drive West, Keplrr, and Severja, she delivered a mind-bending set in a packed-out club that couldn’t fit everyone who wanted in.
For her guest mix in our series, Katatonic Silentio explores dub techno in her own meticulous way—controlled, intentional, and always with a sense of movement. The first hour plays with restraint, each track given space to breathe, while subtle shifts build an unspoken tension. Just when you think you’ve settled into the groove, she nudges things into unexpected territory—tightening the pulse, throwing in off-kilter patterns, and steering toward a more kinetic, unpredictable second hour. It’s a mix that keeps you on your toes, unfolding with precision rather than force. A refined trip from an artist who never takes the obvious route.
Katatonic Silentio will perform a live set at Mostra 2025.

In the latest edition of our Delayed with… series, we feature Ksenia Kamikaza, the founder of Under Fest and Platz Für Tanz label, a key figure in Latvia’s underground music scene. We first crossed paths with Ksenia a few years back in Barcelona, which she now calls home. As a DJ and producer, her deep knowledge of electronic music comes through in every set, blending together a wide range of styles and influences.
For this mix, Ksenia drew inspiration from the late David Lynch, exploring themes of life and death. Much like Mulholland Drive, where Lynch blurs the lines between dreams and reality, Ksenia’s mix pulls you into familiar territory before pulling the rug out from under you. She opens with Röyksopp’s beautifully haunting vocal track - We Remain Hidden / Consolation, creating a sense of calm and ease. But that comfort is fleeting. The beats start to fracture, melodies twist, and suddenly you find yourself swept into an unpredictable flow of shifting moods and subtle misdirection.
This isn’t a straightforward journey from one sound to the next—it’s more like a Möbius strip, looping back on itself in unexpected ways. Just when you think you’ve settled into a groove, the rhythm shifts, leaving you wondering if the high point you hit was the climax—or just a prelude to something else entirely. Ksenia’s mix is layered, unpredictable, and keeps you guessing until the very end.
Röyksopp, Pixx - We Remain Hidden / Consolation
Corrado Maria De Santis - Can't Find a Place
Marine - Eden
Salvatore Mercatante - How Many Hands
Toki Fuko - Strontium
Château Flight - Elastigum
Nuboid - Ode2TS
Javier Marimon - Ns/Nc Db
Purl - Himmelsandar
Sei A - Bites
Toki Fuko - Pirahan
Pulso - Hipervínculo
UFO95 - Burned
Sepehr - Queen of Demons
Snufmumriko - Skärgårdskväde (Moss Covered Technology Remix)
Alva Noto - Xerrox Sans Repit
Void Stasis - Epilogue from the Unsettling Silence

Through overwhelming days and times of strife, an emphasis to look inwards and reflect seems appropriate. Outside stressors abound, almost at every turn it seems as the world claws at your mental stability. Italian producer, dj and more, Simone Gatto’s forthcoming Invisible Love album on his own Pregnant Void imprint marks a response to these negative forces. Giving space, soft moments of introspection and smooth melodies that all lend well to its healing nature.
Like a deep breath, The Secret of Quantum Life slowly begins. In and out, in and out. The meditative nature can’t be ignored, Simone’s background influences coming through in spades as warm tones envelop the listener, accentuated by generative warbles providing movement and spontaneity. As the track progresses, varying swirls and melodic eddies appear, like changes in the wind.
Gatto’s Invisible Love album will be released on the 7th of February.

You know that feeling when you find a good mix? That little hit of satisfaction, like, yeah, that was time well spent. But then there are the rare ones—the mixes that hit just right, that feel like stumbling upon a new friend you just know you’ll be spending a lot of time with. That’s exactly what happened when we heard the latest Delayed with… mix from Toxido Mask.
Toxido has been on our radar for a while, and for good reason. She’s one of those artists who doesn’t just play music—she builds entire worlds with it. From weightless ambient to brain-twisting halftime to relentless techno, she moves through sounds with the precision of someone who truly gets it. Every mix, every track she touches feels like it was put together with care, with intention. You don’t just listen—you experience it.
And this mix? You’re gonna want to sit with this one. Or better yet, stand up—because the moment you hit play, you won’t be sitting for long. It’s DJing at its finest: sharp, fluid, and impossible to ignore. The flow is effortless, the energy is undeniable. One minute, you’re locked into a hypnotic halftime groove; the next, you’re riding a wave of rolling techno that hits in all the right places. It never loses its grip. You won’t want it to.
It’s no surprise Toxido Mask holds down a residency at Tresor—she plays like she was born for it. But she’s not just shaping dancefloors; she’s shaping the scene itself, overseeing the artistic direction of OMM Transmission, the evolution of the Catharsis series.
Some mixes are good. Some are great. And then there are the ones that stay with you. This is one of those.

After two years of anticipation, the wait is over…
Navigare is gifting us Flesh of the Gods by one of our favourites, Ness, in a new light. This EP features five remixed tracks on the Swedish label, including Dino Sabatini's twist on "Flesh of the Gods," which will be available to purchase via Bandcamp on January 31st.
Cosmic, ambient, deep, dramatic—these four words perfectly describe Sabatini's remix. It's a subtle journey, dialed down and stripped back compared to the original, showcasing a minimal and ambient touch from the Italian techno producer. Expect a smooth takeoff and grounding.

This week on “Delayed with…”, we’re featuring matsssiii, a Zurich-based DJ and one of the core members of the Project Indigo collective and label. Project Indigo isn’t just another name in the scene—it’s a group we’ve grown to know and respect, built on shared nights (and days) on the dancefloor and a commitment to music that prioritizes feeling and quality over fleeting trends.
matsssiii’s mix has a rare versatility, fitting seamlessly into all kinds of settings. It’s deep and well-paced, with a lightness that never drifts into the shallow. Somehow, it strikes that perfect balance—grounded yet weightless, soothing yet never dull. Whether zoning in on a task or gazing at a sunset, this mix feels like it was made for the moment.
The music unfolds like a quiet narrative, with grooves that pull you in and atmospheric layers that let your mind wander. The rhythms feel tactile and earthy, while the melodies have a spacious, dreamlike quality that’s hard to pin down. It’s the kind of sound that doesn’t just accompany your day—it subtly transforms it.
At Delayed, this is exactly what we look for: music that lingers in your mind, carrying its energy well beyond the final track. It’s a deep, dubby house that feels timeless—not because it’s chasing permanence, but because it’s rooted in something genuine.

Spiraling melodies and half time tempos spring to the forefront for our premiere today, titled Ravina. Portuguese artists Floating Machine and Inerte have combined talents for a contribution to the Berlin and Lisbon based event series and label, Art Bei Ton. The fifth edition of their VA series, ‘Seeing Cursed Spirits’ will soon be released that showcases a variety of sounds. All nestled within the folds of deep and hypnotic techno.
Ravina evolves, slowly but surely. Each pulse of the percussion brings new life and energy into the air. A soft pad floats in the background, ethereal and ever-shifting, creating a sense of vast space that’s peppered with bright auditory textures giving movement and spontaneity as they jump around the listener. Gradually, voices become more pronounced, their distant melodies forming a loop that seems to repeat and evolve in subtle variations, like a mantra or chant. The panning continues to play with perception, shifting focus gently from one side to the other until the ending moments as each element slowly falls away.
Art Bei Ton’s latest VA will be released on the 16th of January and includes offerings from a diverse set of artists including Viels, PEIX, and Nao Nhil.

Astral Industries has been quietly shaping a corner of music that feels uniquely its own for over ten years. Based in London, the label has become a refuge for sounds that don't play by the rules—drone, ambient, dub, deep techno—all delivered with a sense of purpose and personality that's hard to find elsewhere. At the center of it all is Ario, the visionary behind the label’s distinct identity. To start 2025 in style, we're excited to share his mix as part of our "Delayed with…" series.
Ario's approach to music isn't about the obvious or the easy. His selections often veer into the experimental, finding connections in places others might overlook. Whether it's a drone, techno, or something that sits in the cracks between genres, he has a way of uncovering sounds that feel fresh and unpredictable. That instinct has made him a fixture at festivals like Paral.lel, Mostra, Moment, and La Nature just to name a few, where his sets are as much about exploration as they are about enjoyment.
This mix is a live recording of Ario’s set at La Nature Festival, nestled deep in a Belgian forest. Over two hours in the Hypnose Room, he built something that felt both strange and welcoming—layers of murk and mystery balanced by flashes of warmth and light. Tracks rise and fall like moments in a story, some tense and introspective, others breaking through with fractured grooves or shimmering synths that catch you off guard. What makes this mix so compelling is its sense of space—it feels expansive and intimate at the same time. There's a timeless quality to it as if it could belong as much to the future as the past. But it's never pretentious or overthought. Ario lets the music breathe, letting you take from it what you will.
Whether you're in the thick of the Hypnose Room or just sitting at home with a pair of good headphones, this set has a way of pulling you in if you let it. Hats off to Ario and La Nature Festival for creating something that feels real and alive, a reminder that originality still matters.
