Delayed with... Velvia
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.
