• PREMIERE: Menou - Singularity [Art Bei Ton]

  At Delayed, consistency and vision matter. That’s why we’re always happy to shine a light on those who keep pushing forward with purpose. Berlin-based label Art Bei Ton is marking its seventh anniversary with a standout compilation titled Faded Mystical Journey, a cohesive 8-track release that moves from shadowy, atmospheric depths into rich, hypnotic territory. The compilation features contributions from longtime friends of our platform, familiar names, and some exciting discoveries. Today’s premiere comes from a friend of Delayed: the Japanese sound architect Makiko Iwaki, known to many as Menou when performing live, and Iwamaki behind the decks. Here, she appears in her Menou guise with Singularity, the opening track on the release. It’s a meditative, slow-burning drone that sets the tone beautifully. Singularity is a slow exhale, a layered drone that feels still, but never static. It builds with grace, tension, and care. Menou creates a space that’s both calming and charged, a paradox that works effortlessly. Faded Mystical Journey drops May 16 via Art Bei Ton’s Bandcamp. Happy seventh, Art Bei Ton, here’s to the next chapter. https://soundcloud.com/makiko-iwaki https://soundcloud.com/art-bei-ton www.instagram.com/iwakimakiko/ https://www.instagram.com/art_bei_ton/ Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://linktr.ee/delayed https://www.delayed.nyc https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: [email protected]

• PREMIERE: Vanta - Dissociative Drift [IO]

  There’s a space between life and death where memory, emotion, and rhythm blur into something unspoken, that’s where Vanta begins. “Between Life and Death”, his debut album on IO Records, draws from personal upheaval, pairing stark introspection with glimmers of defiance. The project navigates the tension between collapse and healing, with tracks like “Intrusive Thoughts” and “Void” oscillating between vulnerability and strength. It’s a record that doesn’t offer resolution, only presence, a sonic companion for those walking their own edge. Opening with “Dissociative Drift”, Vanta wastes no time setting the emotional temperature. The track feels like falling into a dream you half-remember, bleepy percussion echoing like distant signals, submerged beneath fog-thick drones and viscous synth lines. It’s less a song than a state of mind, evoking the sensation of floating through murky water, unsure if you’re surfacing or sinking. A slow, syncopated pulse guides you, not forward, but inward. “Between Life and Death” arrives on May 13 via IO Records. Pre-orders are live now on Bandcamp. https://soundcloud.com/vanta_techno https://soundcloud.com/iorecs https://www.instagram.com/v_ant_a/ https://www.instagram.com/io.records/ Write up by @gilleswasserman Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://linktr.ee/delayed https://www.delayed.nyc https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: [email protected]

• PREMIERE: Owl - Lanterns Illuminate The Infinite Space [Huinali Recordings]

  Obscure shapes rise in the distance, a haze of smoke obscures all. Movements seem slow and time is but a figment of the imagination. The focus turns inward as a sense of calmness encompasses, letting the mind relax. Overhead the sky is black, but filled with stars, with brief flashes of light as celestial bodies march across the heavenly vista. This mental imagery springs to mind when listening through Pierre Nesi aka Owl’s forthcoming LP, titled, ‘Fragments of Darkness’ on the storied Korean imprint, Huinali Recordings. A wonderful pairing, and an instant listen whenever either name pops up. Fragments of Darkness will be Owl’s second release, following 2022’s ‘Forest Shadow’. Coincidentally not, another must listen if you’ve not heard already. Lanterns Illuminate The Infinite Space comes as the final, 7th track to the musical odyssey that Owl has crafted. Beautiful, soft pads lead off and establish a warm atmospheric vibe. The light to the darker moments in the release, the counter that Pierre is so adept at crafting. Ebbing and flowing, the track expands and soon a prominent melody emerges, accented by flashes of synths that give structure and development. Fragments of Darkness will be released on May 12th, off of Huinali Recordings, on all platforms. @owlfromdeepspace @huinalidub www.instagram.com/pete_owl/ Write up by @huedj Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: [email protected]

• Delayed with... ena b.

  The internet gave us wild ways to connect, but it still can’t beat the real thing - meeting people in real life. A few months ago, we found ourselves in our beloved Barn deep in the Catskills, surrounded by trees, friends, and a four-day blur of heavy tunes and strange magic. That’s where we met Verena, aka Ena B. We connected through mutual friends and a shared pull toward deeper, dubbier, stranger sounds, and just like that, a new link was made. Her “Delayed with…” mix is a slow-burner in the best way. It moves with intention, breaky, heady, and atmospheric, full of space and subtle pressure. There’s a patience to her selections, a confidence in the flow. Ena B may be new to the fold, but she speaks the language fluently. Expect more transmissions soon. Tracklist: Wata Igarashi – Searching (Original Mix) Feral – Kykeon (Original Mix) Donato Dozzy, Anna Caragnano – Fraledune (Original Mix) Martin Schulte – Walk (Original Mix) Steevio – Mŵg Drŵg Luigi Tozzi, NTOGN – Wsjr (Orphx Mix) RDS – Onvoorwaardelijk Vril – Terraformink (Original Mix) Buttechno – P-L (Original Mix) J.S. Zeiter – Granular (Original Mix) Hidolas, Quitula – Missing Element (Original Mix) Artificial Drm – Anatolian (Original Mix) Error Etica – Hologram Universe (Estrato Aurora Remix) https://soundcloud.com/enabofficial https://www.instagram.com/enabofficial// Write up by @gilleswasserman Follow us on social media: https://soundcloud.com/itsdelayed https://linktr.ee/delayed https://www.delayed.nyc https://www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://www.instagram.com/_____delayed https://www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: [email protected]

• PREMIERE: Pannotia - Biozone [Pure Space]

  Hailing from Sydney, Australia, artist Pannotia, under the Pure Space label, is releasing a five-track EP titled "Cell." This EP will be available on Bandcamp from 2nd May and immediately captivates with its own twang. This sound exists within a multitude of spaces, specifically in a realm called ‘Biozone’ in which this track is titled. The music evokes a feeling of being recharged, discovering movements and forms that have always existed within but are now imbued with cosmic influence. Bionic and poetic, it offers an undeniably sexy slow groove that holds a special place on the dance floor, built upon bass-heavy foundations and a seductive, relaxed trance – a track capable of transporting us in any direction as it draws to a close. @pannotia @purespacefm www.instagram.com/purespacefm/ Write up by @danpeplow Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed www.itsdelayed.com www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed/ linktr.ee/delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed
