Never Late

Staff Pick: @geinstmusic - Hiber Trace Expert IDM for sub-zero temperatures. Read the full write-up and check out the release on Nina. #breaks #idm #techno #ambient

Drawing a coherent link between various influences, @geinstmusic joins Never Late with Hiber Trace where his analog-driven productions expand and contract time and space. The clear consideration for detail combined with an essence of tight timing and drawn delays, sets the groundwork for this EP. The accompanying artwork reflects not only the music but keeps a connection to the human element, which is a common thread throughout his work. Stark rhythms take us on twists and turns with abundant drops of surprises throughout. One is only left asking: where will he take us now? Beyond Layers arrives with a purpose we are but to discover. All there is to do is let oneself be guided by the soundscape that Gëinst creates. From the first moment we hear the intention behind every current, every beat, every silence. It envelopes us, introducing a profound space wherein which we can land and take off from, guiding us deliberately with finely tuned clicks, hums and hisses. Murmurs opens with a mélange of calmness and suspense. Building on the soft syncopated rhythms, a muted voice reminds us we are not alone. This nicely preempts Hiber Trace, the EP namesake emerging as a crisp track with a steadily evolving groove. Muted hi-hats, snares, and kicks are balanced with strong drumbeats that travel through the body, activating muscles to contract with the same frequency. Euphoria introduces yet deeper elements as though now passing through an ancestral forest. Organic sounds, resembling digeridoos and croaks like those of frogs on the forest floor, are accompanied by a surge carrying us to the next destination – Mugen, where we are greeted by a focused drum ensemble to be overtaken by stretches of lasers whispering echoes of spatial descents – until finishing as brusquely as it began. Still within the same realm, we experience the power of Labyrinth. This may be the most intricate track of the EP, summing all the previous ones into a final, powerful crescendo. Delicious drone drops preempt a soft closing allowing us to find a moment to return with a gentle landing. Exquisite.

PREMIERE: Gëinst - Hiber Trace [Never Late] @geinstmusic @___neverlate ✍🏻 by @aspetuckmusic Hiber Trace is available for listening at delayed.nyc

Delayed with... Tensen Park [Never Late x Delayed] As the days grow shorter & the leaves begin to turn, we find ourselves looking inwards, preparing our minds for the beautiful yet harsh cold winter months ahead. There is a particular awareness of the present moment during these transitions from season to season, as cooler weather gently makes its way to the New York area. I certainly find myself seeking out music that is more introspective & comforting during these fall months, something to accompany a long walk through the woods or a drive through the morning fog. Dutch producer Tensen Park - the newest member of our Never Late family - presents us with an ethereal hour-long journey through some of his current favorites & musical influences. It is a mix crafted for these moments of seasonal transition. “I wanted to make it a bit of a trip” he said, “starting with some deeper, more emotional / human tracks then working towards some more playful / more energetic tracks.” These ‘futurebeats’, as he describes this particular sound, consist of a blend of IDM, breakbeat, ambient & dub. This style can be heard sprinkled throughout his ‘Jurassimo’ EP which was just released on our own record label, Never Late. Tensen Park included two of his own tracks in the mix, in addition to a collection of tracks that he has been listening to for the past couple of months. @tensen.park Link in bio 📝 by @aspetuckmusic

In addition to being a talented producer, @tensen.park also creates these sublime generative graphics that stem from an algorithmic process called emergent compute-shader simulations. The simulations react to the music while following organic movements observed in nature. Audio in this clip is ‘Midnight Hover’, off of his brand new Jurassimo EP out now on Never Late 🦖🦕

Today is a wonderful day, as we’re over the moon to release the third chapter in our ever-evolving @___neverlate story! Joining the musical familia is a fellow gear nerd, and overall lovely human being, @tensen.park . The multi-talented producer brings forth a delightfully introspective EP titled Jurassimo that hits all the Ambient, IDM sweet spots and more. Out now on bandcamp + all digital streaming platforms!

We are thrilled to announce the third release on our Never Late imprint, “Jurassimo” EP by the Amsterdam-based producer @tensen.park . Tensen Park takes you on an introspective ride through 4 dubby, ambient & IDM-adjacent tracks, each with a cool wash of crispy effervescence & crystalline ear candy. The music is full of so much beautiful craftsmanship which sounds as if it was performed in an improvisational manner. There is a meticulousness & attention to detail that is heard throughout yet everything somehow sounds unpretentious & flows naturally. The EP closes with a 5th track, which is a wonderfully crunchy & upbeat rework from friend & occasional collaborator Imnop. Jurassimo EP is coming out on September 20 The link for pre-orders is in the bio! 1. Dub Doob 2. Midnight Hover 3. Spores Adrift 4. Fern Exchnage 5. Dub Doob (Imnop Rework)

Party time! To celebrate the long awaited launch of our label Never Late & more importantly an excuse for the 4 of us + friends & family to get together to play some music, we’re hosting a small label showcase at @theavalonlounge in Catskill, New York on August 3rd. The venue is just 2 hours north of New York City by car or train & not far from our cozy mountain oasis, The Barn where we host our Delayed getaways. Join us in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains next month for a night of the deeper sides of electronic music. Aspetuck & Hue will be playing together for the first time & Moon Patrol will be playing their second set since their debut earlier this summer at Above Below. Never Late, Just Delayed! @___neverlate @aspetuckmusic @__hue._ @gilleswasserman @kotikplus

A glimpse into the making of the album artwork for @mjulev.music ’s ‘Clouds Are The Better Birds’ Hey guys it’s Griff / Aspetuck & I wanted to share a bit about how the artwork came together for our latest release on Never Late. I’ve been making these collages for our label & have been using bits of pieces of some of my own photographs from over the years + random photos I find in books / in museum archives online. The process involves a lot of different layers scanned into the computer & printed & scanned again which leads to a lot of surprising results. Scroll through & you can see some of the various steps in the process

with... Mjulev [Never Late x Delayed] Today is a special day as we continue celebrating the second release on our burgeoning Never Late label, from the likes of Swiss based producer, Mjulev. Clouds are the Better Birds is an emotive, textured ambient exploration through the mind and musical musings of Carlo Thommen aka Mjulev. Born through introspective sessions, and afternoons of staring at the sky and world as it passes by, the music ebbs and flows ever so smoothly. Much like a cloud on a windy day. To mark this special occasion, he’s created a hybrid mix for us that evokes all those emotions and more. Our collective love affair with Ambient and all its flavors only grows deeper at this point, thus we couldn’t be happier to release an album like Mjulev’s. @mjulev.music @___neverlate Link in bio 📝 by @__hue._ #delayed #neverlatejustdelayed #brooklynmusicwebzine #brooklynmusicplatform #ElectronicMusic #UndergroundSound #FutureSounds #MusicDiscovery #ElectronicGrooves #ambient #dub #neverlate #delayedwith #mjulev

Never Late 002 Announced! For our second release on Never Late, we are excited to present you Mjulev, a Basel-based sound artist and his “Clouds Are the Better Birds” album. Forget the city’s clamor, the endless to-do lists, and the weight of daily pressures. Close your eyes and imagine yourself lying in a sun-drenched meadow. Above you, clouds ever-so-gradually drift by, shape-shifting like melancholic ambient undercurrents. Tranquility is all that’s there. You are in a different place, a better place. That’s the feeling one gets listening to Mjulev’s ‘Clouds Are The Better Birds,’ a wonderful eight-track album by the Basel, Switzerland-based sound architect. Mjulev’s ambient playground unfolds like a dreamscape; each meticulously crafted layer weaves in and out organically, drawing you deeper into a world of introspection. As you listen, the stress and noise of daily life melt away, replaced by a profound sense of peace and connection. “Clouds Are the Better Birds” is an invitation to escape, reconnect with your inner self, and find solace in the simple beauty of the universe. Set for release on April 12th via Never Late, Mjulev’s latest offering is an essential companion for anyone seeking a haven from the world’s noise. @mjulev.music @___neverlate Link for previews in bio #delayed #neverlatejustdelayed #brooklynmusicwebzine #brooklynmusicplatform #ElectronicMusic #UndergroundSound #FutureSounds #MusicDiscovery #newalbum #newlp #mjulev #ambientmusic
