PREMIERE: Dashiell & Sam Brickel - Run Out Groove [Animalia]

New! What, an adjective. Entirely subjective, or objective depending on your perspective. The harbinger of quality perhaps, or simply that of a flash of brilliance, gone quicker than the blink of an eye. New can be used for many things, however, today’s focus of an oft favorite adjective falls on the shoulders of Melbourne based DJ, and producer, Kia, her label, and a cadre of fellow artists.

PREMIERE: Luna Ludmila - Sway [SoHaSo]

It's no mystery that we, here at Delayed, like the mysterious sound of dub techno. It's also no great surprise to our listeners and readers, that our collective ears perk up when we hear things with intricate ornate rhythms rather than in-your-face, four-on-the-floor bangers.
