Balance

It's something I strive for in life and in music curation.  Dark/light, somber/playful, rough/smooth, hard/soft, dusty/gleaming, grounding/spacey, minimal/ornate.  I love building sets that embody these dualistic qualities, whether kicking off with tracks that lean hard in one direction then slowly transitioning to tracks that lean in the opposite direction, or selecting tracks that are balanced in and of themselves.  This set features a bit of both of those approaches through a predominately minimal lens.  Groove-focused but never fully stripped, shifting through sober, shimmering and funky moods - really happy with this one, and hope it brings a little balance to you ❤️

Pulse of the Prairie 2025

Had a most excellent time out on the prairie lands playing upstart festival / renegade Pulse of the Prairie for my Colorado debut.  Several CO crews assembled to bring out a solid taste of the local sound system culture across multiple stages, and I had the pleasure of playing this short but sweet set starting during the last traces of sunset on Dux Audio's Paraflex rig which was sounding absolutely lovely.  Even better though was partying with a great crew of like-minded, up-for-it folks for a few days.  Massive thanks to the Dux crew for the fam-style hospitality, and shouts to all the new homies!  Hope you all enjoy this one - straight groovers with a nice variety of flavors sprinkled in ❤️

Moth to Flame (Valentine's Day 2025 Special)

You tread down a dimly lit corridor that opens to a hazy room subtly illuminated by red bulbs and candlelight, hesitating at the threshold.  The intoxicating aroma of incense hangs in the air.  Ethereal music plays gently in the background.  The ambiance draws you in.  A soft touch.  A spark.  You're coaxed into a fugue state, beckoned to let your inhibitions dissolve, hypnotized.  Resistance is futile.  You let go, and now you're entranced - a moth to flame...

  

Two hours of silky, smoldering, sensual selections with a dark edge.  A deep house-centric trip blending lush atmospherics, raw, minimal grooves and lo-fi touches.  Originally conceived of as part of a three-movement set exploring different aspects of intimacy, I ultimately decided to let the first movement, this set, stand on its own.  I always aim to capture a certain vibe when I record, but this one really hits the mark.  One of my best I think.  Hope you enjoy, and happy Valentine's Day ♥️

Flow State

  

A mental state in which a person is fully immersed in an activity, experiencing deep focus and enjoyment, where one feels energized and engaged, losing track of time and self-consciousness.  This mix features a range of groove-forward sounds to elicit a flow state in the listener, ranging from fluid hi-fi to acid-inflected lo-fi bits, with moods that shift from resolute and deep to bordering-on-irreverent and upfront.  Generally suffused with floaty pads and underpinned throughout with solid grooves - "When you feel it, you will understand".  Hope you enjoy 💗

Much love,

Delfic

Fractured Heights

Been really enjoying expanding the sonic lately, and took this mix as an opportunity to continue doing that.  I’ve sprinkled in some breakbeat in my sets over the years, but this is 1.5 hours of strictly spacey breaks goodness.  Some true gems in here of varied textures, generally slowed down to the tempos that I tend to play in.  When I first immersed myself in electronic music in the late 90’s-early 00’s my main love was jungle and atmospheric DnB, bookended by heavy rotations of quality hip-hop.  This is probably the first mix I’ve posted where those influences can be heard underpinning the sound.  Hope you enjoy the journey, and planning to be back in February with a set of silky cuts in time for Valentine’s Day <3

Much love,

Delfic

Liminalism

Drawing inspiration from the changing seasons as the days get shorter and cooler, this set features tracks in a range of deep styles that alone or together dance along the border of consciousness/unconsciousness, that give the feeling of floating far away from your physical form but not completely out of sight, and that embody the moments of transition between sunset and dusk, dusk and night.  Great tunes spanning a range of BPMs over the course of the journey.

Hope you enjoy <3

Much love,

Delfic

Sensual Physics

Hi there friends :) After more than three years away from the decks, I'm very happy to be back with you, if you're still out there, with a new set.  Personal life and the weight of the world really sapped me my desire to play over the last few years, and during most of the COVID era I hardly consumed any music at all.  Going to shows and seeing friends again over the last year has really helped reenergize me on the music front and I've managed to fit in a fair bit of digging over the last six months, which brings me here.

Inspired by PiHKAL, dissociation, hushed tones and a soft touch, this set traverses a broad range of BPMs and textures ripe for a proper journey alone or with a close companion.  Downtempo, deep house, dubby beats and amorphous electronica all make appearances, channeling the heavens, the sea and subterranean realms, and bringing forth contrasting yet complimentary aesthetics - sullen/uplifting, dusty/polished, organic/synthetic, subtle/authoritative.  All great tunes, but special shout outs to Canson for his remix of Just Emma's and Zazou's "Baltic Sea", which I've wanted to include in a set for years, and Cornucopia (Guy J) for his remix of Volen Sentir's "The Great Escape" - two of my favorite tracks for sure.  Big up Seven Villas as well, with four tracks from the label included here, and the producer Sensual Physics who this set is named after.  

Hope you enjoy <3 

Much love,

Delfic
