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

Medicine

"One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain". One of my favorite lyrics, and one that has resonated deeply with me over the last few months, which have seen more than their fair share of sad happenings. On many occasions I found myself feeling overwhelmed, only to have some sweet music-medicine take me away from whatever stress was consuming me. I've particularly been finding myself drawn to more groove-oriented tracks that are melodic but neither too dark nor too light - tracks that don't really force me into any specific state of mind and just let me be. This mix features some of those medicinal tracks that I’ve collected during the recent past, and I’m super happy to share it with you all after so many months away from the decks. Hope you enjoy ❤

As always, props to all the producers and labels featured.

Much love,

Delfic

Chemistry 002

For the second entry in my Chemistry mix series, I'm thrilled to have joined forces with Montreal-based selector Mike Haddad to bring you 2+ hours of proper deepness. Mike holds down a monthly show on friskyRadio, is a resident for Husa Sounds, and has contributed guest mixes to many top notch podcasts, including Mousikē, Schirmchendrink, Elektro Uwe, Magician on Duty and Ethereal Kollektiv. Our mutual tastes in deep and melodic electronic music made this collaboration a natural choice, and we're feeling the results of our combined efforts on this one. Mike kicks things off and slowly builds the vibe for the first half and I take the reins around the 1:19:00 mark for the duration. Hope you all enjoy the journey!

Much love,

Delfic & Mike

For A Daydream: Love (Lost)

Greetings friends. It's been a while since I've recorded a set for my For A Daydream series, but happy to have this new entry in the books. This mix explores familiar themes of love and love lost. A few luminous moments here for sure, but suffused with the overall somber vibe that I tend to gravitate toward. Lots of pretty tracks included in this set which I had been saving for my annual Valentine's Day mix that I unfortunately couldn't find the time to record. No sense in letting them languish unused in the crates though :) Hope ya'll enjoy it! <3

As always, props to all the producers and labels featured.

Much love,

Matt

The Expectant Father

I know it's been a bit quiet over here, but for good reason, as I've been working around the clock with missus to prepare for the birth of our first child, Sage. With only 2 weeks or so until we expect her to arrive, I carved out some precious time to record this new set, "The Expectant Father".

This mix is dedicated first to Sage, and second to my wife who has been so amazing over the last 8 months and who requested a Sage-inspired set soon after we got the amazing news (the first set she's ever requested I think!). It's hard to put into words the range of thoughts and emotions I've experienced leading up to this point, but a few prominent ones come to mind: adoration, excitement, anticipation, trepidation, turbulence, hopefulness. My aim with this set was to capture some of those feelings with a selection of awe inspiring, tender, playful, and somewhat mysterious tracks. Naturally, it kicks off with a sample of Sage's heartbeat from a field recording I made while at one of our recent doctor appointments! Sage's first contribution to the music world :) I had a lot of fun recording this one and hope you enjoy it as much as I do <3

As always, props to all the producers and labels featured.

Much love,

Delfic
