Delayed with... Maharam
A few months ago, we had the chance to play at an event in Brooklyn, part of a small “Oslated gathering.” The lineup included our own Aspetuck and Moon Patrol, along with Vice City making her NYC debut, and event organizers - Buusto, co-founder of Club Dub Radio, and Maharam, a resident of Club Dub and organizer of Final Passage events. The night brought together a close-knit crowd and a shared love for deep and dub techno. For us, one of the highlights was connecting with Justin (Buusto), Avi (Maharam), and Nathan (Apok), the minds behind the event they aptly named Drift. Buusto and Maharam brought their passion and skill to the decks, making the night something special. We’re especially excited to feature Maharam’s set as part of our “Delayed with…” series.
Maharam opened the night, and it's not a secret that we're big believers in the art of a proper opening set. Maharam delivered one of the best we've heard in a long time. Despite its brevity at just 60 minutes, the set was a masterclass in pacing and mood. Creating a journey within such a limited timeframe takes real skill, and Maharam made every moment count. He explored the deeper end of the spectrum, guiding us through dubby textures, breakbeats, and bass-heavy grooves—perfectly setting the stage for what came next. If we had to choose, we couldn't imagine a better way to kick off the night.
It's always inspiring to connect with emerging talent in our scene who gravitate toward the more refined side of electronic music. Maharam and Buusto are both names to watch, and we're sure this is just the beginning of what they'll bring to the table. Keep an ear out for more from them—we certainly will.
