Delayed with... matsssiii

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.
