Releases

There’s a particular stillness to September.

August has a reputation for being a quiet month.

Danish producer, DJ, and label head C.K seems to live by the same philosophy. He writes and spins some of the warmest and fuzziest house music out there, delivered with almost surgical precision.

Festival season is in full swing. Life feels like a brief interlude between one festival and the next.

The opening title track from Clearlight and Sentient’s Mandibles EP builds on this idea of a menacing presence living under one’s own skin

June felt like living inside a pressure cooker: heat steaming the pavement, skies breaking open in floods, and a world that keeps tripping over its own shoelaces. But music, as ever, remains the lifeboat.

Djrum likely needs little introduction to Delayed readers.  His music has long touched on and moved across multiple locations and genres along the history of UK dance music and culture, building on it, and regularly infusing it with a sense of grandeur, of world building, and of exploring the possibilities in extended narratives

April came with that classic spring duality: pollen and bloom, clarity and haze. The soundtrack? Just as layered.

Following recent output on Amenthia and homeland favourites Nous’klaer Audio Ruben Üvez returns to Bitta with the Gazoz EP

March tends to mark a shift. As calendars fill with club nights and festival dates, producers start rolling out records built for movement—weighty, immersive, and often primed for the floor.

Did you already hit yourself with the classic “Wait, it’s March already?” 

January’s come and gone, and we spent it the way we always do—digging for music that stuck with us, the kind that kept playing in the background while we worked, talked, or just spaced out.

As we bid farewell to 2024, December was a fitting finale for a year rich in groundbreaking music.

As the year comes to a close, we at Delayed have been enjoying our annual tradition of combing through 12 months of music & memories

November was a whirlwind month in the music world, packed with releases that left us spoiled for choice. After plenty of listening and a bit of debate, here are the standout selections from the past few weeks.

October has swept in with autumn’s rich colors, Halloween’s haunting tones, and a fresh lineup of releases that feel just as dynamic as the season itself.

September brought a deluge of new music as artists and labels unleashed a wave of releases that had been building up during the slower summer months.

Today is a wonderful day, as we’re over the moon to release the third chapter in our ever evolving Never Late story! Joining the musical familia is a fellow gear nerd, and overall wonderful human being, Tensen Park.

August may often be a quieter month in the music industry, with many on vacation and the summer festival season in full swing

July is the time for vacations, festivals, beaches, and, of course, good music.

During May, we enjoyed the early signs of summer alongside much-needed showers that nurtured the surrounding fauna.

In today's bustling music scene, where reinvention is constant, having a distinct and recognizable style can set a label or artist apart.

Across oceans and continents, the musical scenes of today stretch.

April was a whirlwind of electronic discovery.

We're thrilled to unveil "Clouds Are The Better Birds," the latest eight-track ambient offering from Swiss artist Mjulev.

March offered a dynamic selection of electronic music, showcasing versatility and innovation.

February is short, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the music delights!

January: the month of fresh starts, gym memberships gathering dust, and, let's be honest, a post-holiday music slump

Akuratyde’s Modern Conveniences label has built an impressive collection of releases at the more personal and introspective end of drum & bass over the past several years.

As the holiday buzz settles and winter's frosty whispers take hold, we here at Delayed find solace in the pulsating depths of the electronic underground. And before we say goodbye to 2023, let's celebrate those releases that resonated within our crew in the past few weeks.
