Japanese electronic music mainstay Gonno is back with another quality EP in the form of Taiwanese imprint JIN’s 8th release. The label, which usually focuses on dancefloor oriented 4/4 from Asian talent, has featured many prominent artists from the region including Mr. Ho and Sunju Hargun. JIN08 consists of 4 tracks, 3 Gonno originals backed by a Voiski remix. The B2, Arabica, serves as a beautiful ambient closer, serving as a perfect complement to the preceding three tracks, juxtaposing all the emotions from the other tracks with the melancholy and nostalgia that comes at the end of a fun night out. From bubbly, happy house on “Energy Flash” to IDM on “Final Hate” to Voiski’s synth-oriented reinterpretation of “Energy Flash”, the EP continues Gonno’s streak of avant-garde dance floor goodness that we have come to expect. JIN08 is available for pre-order now, and will be out on September 29, 2023, digitally via the label’s Bandcamp and on vinyl on the One Eye Witness website. write up by https://soundcloud.com/sabro96 https://jinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/jin-08 https://soundcloud.com/gonno https://soundcloud.com/jintaipei https://www.instagram.com/djgonno/ https://www.instagram.com/jinrecordstaipei/ www.itsdelayed.com www.instagram.com/_____delayed/ www.facebook.com/itsdelayed

Just over a year after the release of Boaksi's acclaimed album "I Thought It Was Yesterday" on Zürich-based label Project Indigo, the imprint returns with an exciting remix collection that showcases a diverse array of talent like Lawrence, noc:turne, Louf, Jvxta, Soela and Al Zanders reimagining the original tracks. Our premiere for today is a remix of the title track by Lost In Translation co-founder noc:turne. The remix maintains the atmospheric beauty of the original, characterized by lush pads and a gorgeous melody that carries the listener on a journey. What sets this interpretation apart is noc:turne's meticulous use of percussion – crisp hi-hats punctuate the track, adding an evolving sense of tension that builds throughout. As the remix unfolds, a subtle acid sequence emerges in the track's final stretch, masterfully interwoven to create a mesmerizing listening experience. Boaksi's "I Thought It Was Yesterday (remixes)" is scheduled for release on September 15 via Project Indigo.

As September 15 approaches, the eagerly anticipated launch of Never Late, a record label poised to extend the musical journey of our platform Delayed, draws near. A marvelous "Early Color" album by one of the label's co-founders, Aspetuck, is kicking off this promising debut. "Early Color" emerges as a ten-track opus showcasing an evolution in his craft, characterized by impeccable sound design and an inviting ambiance that seamlessly floats within an ambient and deep, low-slung, hazy house. A track designed to grace dance floors enveloped in the ethereal haze of smoke machines is undoubtedly a 'growler' - 'Why Yellow.' From its inception, two distinct characteristics have taken the forefront: a profound affection for the resonant warmth of analog sound and a prodigious mastery of intricate sound design. The track's undeniable charm is carried by an infectious bassline sequence, which, refreshingly, doesn't steal the spotlight. Instead, it graciously steps aside to allow the intricate subtleties and meticulously filtered nuances to take the lead, propelling the track forward with an unassuming confidence. Why Yellow? Because yellow embodies happiness, optimism, joy, and friendship, these sentiments encapsulate the essence of Never Late's birth and aspirations. Just as the sun's rays puncture through clouds after a brief delay, Never Late emerges as a harbinger of positivity and camaraderie, akin to yellow's vibrant resonance. The future is indeed bright, painted with shades of promise. Never Late, just Delayed! https://soundcloud.com/aspetuck https://soundcloud.com/never-late https://www.instagram.com/aspetuckmusic/ https://www.instagram.com/___neverlate/ https://never-late.bandcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/@never-late https://www.facebook.com/neverlaterec/ www.itsdelayed.com www.instagram.com/_____delayed/ www.facebook.com/itsdelayed

His Master's Voice is back with his latest EP, ' Wir Sind Alle Ungleich,' a four-track electro journey set to hit the airwaves on September 12 through Kuratorium, Lennart Wiehe's record label.

Following on from his acclaimed debut album 'T.O.M.B', Los Angeles-based Australian artist Luke C. enlists Francis Inferno Orchestra's Sans Merit, Mayurashka and AshTreJenkins to remix some key cuts of the album. AshTreJinkins is a Fresno-California-based producer who self-releases a wildly inventive collection of singles and releases via his Bandcamp. AshTreJinkins masterfully reimagines 'Tripping On Mescaline (Baby)' with a slow-burning approach that unveils its nuances over time. The track's tempo is a canvas for the trippy vocals that paint vivid and enigmatic imagery. This rendition embraces subtlety as its greatest strength. Luke C. - T.O.M.B (Remixed) is coming out via Velvet Bikini on September 1. https://soundcloud.com/thinkinjinkins https://soundcloud.com/luke_cheadle https://soundcloud.com/velvetbikini https://www.instagram.com/_ashtrejinkins/ https://www.instagram.com/lukecheadle/ https://www.instagram.com/velvet_bikini/ www.itsdelayed.com www.instagram.com/_____delayed/ www.facebook.com/itsdelayed

"Anam Cara" by Gilmer Galibard (GAL 002) is inspired by the Gaelic term "soul friend." The title track of this beautiful 3-track EP explores the complexities of friendships and marks the second release of the label named after the UK-based artist. It emphasizes mutual respect, effort, trust, honesty, and the necessary work to maintain healthy and nourishing relationships. "Anam Cara" is a contemplative downtempo piece that also incorporates elements of the deep, hypnotic techno that we adore so much. At its core is an intriguing modular exploration that gradually unfolds throughout its seven-minute duration. Various intimate murmurs and bubbling elements complement this exploration. The recurring percussive sounds create a sense of beating hearts and evoke the multidimensional emotions associated with friendships. Deep friendships are often characterized by unspoken understanding, connections formed through sharing experiences or thoughts. “Anam Cara” beautifully resembles that entanglement in sound. The things that connect the different layers are sometimes not obvious, spoken in a language without form, that cannot be named but are always with meaning. Much like soul friends themselves. “Anam Cara”(GIL002) is set for release on August 28. write up by Theresa Bäumel https://soundcloud.com/theresa-appletree https://soundcloud.com/gilmergalibard https://www.instagram.com/gilmergalibard/ www.itsdelayed.com www.instagram.com/_____delayed/ www.facebook.com/itsdelayed

Hazy auditory tendrils surround the soundscape as our premiere for today, Scheveningen, brings forth an emotional ambient take from the likes of 543ff. Based out of Amsterdam, the elusively named artist has recently launched his new label, ‘Lazy Reflex Complex’ with a string of vinyl releases, before heading into the digital world with his forthcoming release, Num. For those not aware of Dutch geography, Scheveningen is one of the eight districts of The Hague, located right on the sea. Which makes the ebbs and flows of the textured white noise and field recordings all the more apt, and bring a delightful context to the track. Like the waves washing up on the shore, so too does the melody match and bring movement. Scheveningen and the rest of Num will be out on 543ff’s imprint, Lazy Reflex Complex on the 1st of September.

Head down, the bass thumping, the crowd writhing and turning with a singular purpose in mind. Images of dimly lit clubs and roars of approval flit through your mind when listening to our premiere for today, Vintage, by Terrain. The song begins with a deep and unwavering bass line, throbbing like a pulse through the air. Its consistency forms the backbone of the composition, rhythmically grounding the listeners. Military-like snares snap through and keep the energy marching forward as the track progresses through a haunting, dubbed melody and disembodied voices echoed throughout. Vintage and the rest of Terrain’s Corners EP will be out on the Kosovo based imprint, Vargmal Records on August 25th.
