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 ❤️ Tracklist:   1. Central Beat - Flowslice (Dubman F. Remix) [Beachside Records] 2. Anthony Middleton - Let It Go [Maison D'etre] 3. Barrow - Breath [Standalone Records] 4. DJOKO - Activated [Berg Audio] 5. Dust Yard - Abyss [storytellers records] 6. Ollie Ballyn - Space Jam (Gudj Remix) [Sous-Vide Records] 7. Pedro Barros and J. Wi

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 ❤️   Tracklist: 1. Somersault - Yousful [Gruuv] 2. Aron Volta and Somersault - Escalate [Pitch Records] 3. Luuk Van Dijk - Let the Bass Kick [Dark Side of the Sun] 4. Benjamin Frohlich - Club Fantasy (Club Version) [Live at Robert Johnson] 5. Horsemen - Lucid Drinks [Berlin Bass Collective] 6.

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 ♥️ Tracklist

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

Amethyst Skies Welcoming the much-needed longer days with this set of groove-oriented tracks.  Conjuring a dancefloor under warm amethyst skies.  Hope you enjoy

Love Language One for the lovers and the lusters.  Strictly silky, sultry, salacious sonics in this mix to set the vibe for Valentine's Day, accompanied by samples from a couple of my favorite ASMRtists.  Yea, music is definitely my love language ❤️ Much love, Delfic TRACKLIST*: 1. Sebastian Mullaert and Eitan Reiter - You're the Proof of Heaven_falling Apart Into One [Mule Musiq] 2. Anton Lanski - Never Knew Her (In2Deep Remix) [Seven Villas] 3. Filterwolf - Nocturne (Bodycode / Portable Remix) [Process Recordings] 4. Adverb - Hear and Then ft. 7th Flower (Lanski Lowdub) [Etoka Records] 5. DJ Aakmael - Sand [Scissor & Thread] 6. Frank & Tony - Absence [Scissor & Thread] 7. Max Lessig - The Arp of Love [Fauxpas Musik] 8. Soela - Downfall [Nerang Recordings] 9. Frank & Tony and Gry - Bring the Sun [Push Communications] 10.

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 

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

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

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 TRACKLIST: 1. Fulltone - Overseas [Kindisch] 2. Savvas - Vivid (Erdi Irmak Remix) [Sag & Tre] 3. Adisyn - Thaw [Kindisch] 4. Baunder and Facundo Mohr

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 FOLLOW MIKE Soundcloud: @mikehaddad Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikehaddad.dj/ FOLLOW DELFIC Soundcloud: @delfic Facebook: www.facebook.com/DelficRhythms/

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!

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 rec

Chemistry 001 One of the things I've always appreciated most about music is its ability to bring people together. For most of my life, that has manifested in music facilitating my connections with others in my capacity as a listener, whether by conjuring a special moment for me to share with a fellow reveler on a dance floor, prompting discussion about societal issues or serving as a marker in time to reminisce with friends over. Since I started DJing two years ago, I've discovered the pleasure of not only connecting with the crowd but with fellow DJs and producers on a creative level. It's interesting to see where tastes overlap and to hear how music that is on the fringes of each other's tastes can combine in a synergistic way to create a compelling whole. With this in mind, and wanting to change up my usual approach a bit, I reached out to my talented friend @Subcora to collaborate with me on what I hope will be only the first set in a recurring mix series called "Chemistry". Each mix in the series w

Black Rock Vision The music of Burning Man has had a significant impact on my direction as a DJ and, with the burn (and Oregon Eclipse) rapidly approaching, I wanted to put together a set that would amplify the anticipation and excitement that so many of my friends are feeling as the time to go "home" draws near. The setting that I had in mind when I recorded this was deep playa after the sun has set and dusk has almost completely faded to night. A nice range of sounds in this one, starting off with deep house and moving into predominately progressive territory, with a healthy dose of tribal rhythms and vocal elements throughout. I hope you enjoy! My Burning Man special from last year is available here if you want to check it out: https://soundcloud.com/delfic/delfic-the-jackrabbit-speaks-burning-man-special .

Interstellar One of my favorite things about the summer is the opportunities it affords to enjoy the night sky. There's always a bit of magic in the air around midnight when I'm camping far out in the woods, away from the bustle and light pollution of the city, surrounded by nothing but trees and stars, staring out into the infinite. This set is inspired by those moments. A collection of recent tracks of the deep house, progressive and techno varieties that brings to mind the sensation of leaving Earth's atmosphere, the feeling of weightlessness as gravity dissipates, and the unfathomable vastness of the universe. I hope it serves you well. ✨ If you like it, please support by hitting [❤ LIKE] , [↻ REPOST], commenting, sharing it with your peoples and following me here on Soundcloud (@delfic) and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/DelficRhythms).

For a Daydream (Part II - In Bloom) Continuing my "For a Daydream" series, Part II is an airy, sun-infused affair inspired by the spring and summer seasons and designed for morning/daytime listening sessions. This set features a collection of dreamy tracks that conjure images of rolling meadows, abundant blooms, and clear blue skies as far as the eye can see.

For A Daydream (Part I - April Showers) With winter's grip finally loosening in New York and the anticipation of warm summer days beginning to creep in, I often find myself daydreaming of time outdoors - day parties, beach outings, hiking, all that good stuff. The rain showers that roll through around this time and relegate me to the indoors lend a wistful quality to those musings and served as the inspiration for this set, which features a series of dreamy, melancholic, melody-centric tracks. This is another one geared more toward personal listening sessions than the dance floor. I hope you enjoy. Keep a look out in May for Part II which will maintain this dreamy quality but deliver sunnier vibes.

Live @ Outsiders This is my set from the night of March 3, 2017, laying it down with the Outsiders fam at Ceremony (Brooklyn, NY). It’s a very new party - this was only the second installment - but the vibe is already on point. Was such a pleasure to play to a sold-out dancefloor full of good energy and smiling faces. Wish I could have played longer! The set starts with a deep house groove sensibility carried over from the opening set and progresses through a variety of more driving deep and tech-house flavors, with progressive and deep tech touches throughout the second half that steered the vibe towards the heavier sounds that dominated the remainder of the night. Whether you’re reliving the party or hearing it for the first time, I hope you enjoy!
