Delayed x Perpendicular: Eight Fold Way

Perpendicular Festival is a pilgrimage for electronic music devotees, who like their electronic music edgy, innovative, and deep, drawing them from across the globe to Spain's secluded woodlands. A brainchild of the crew behind Madrid's iconic Espacio Perpendicular venue, the festival features the vanguard of ambient and techno (and everything in between) over three days and nights. We are delighted and honored to present you with some of the sets from this year's edition of the Perpendicular Festival. Keep an eye on our "Delayed with..." series in the upcoming months because some incredible sets are coming your way. We are starting in style. Hardcore Chillout co-founder, a London-based artist Mark Geary, aka Eight Fold Way, who in his spare time explores the multidimensionality of sound, graced the decks on Sunday late afternoon. Even though it feels that there is overuse of terms like "journey," "trip," or "voyage," these types of DJ sets should be referred to as such without hesitation. Eight Fold Way expertly unveils new layers of sound as the set slowly develops from experimental ambient to chuggier and broken low-slung rhythms that, with such ease, morph into the deepest shades of techno. Once the listeners arrive at the bottom of the Mariana trench, Eight Fold Way keeps the tension sprinkled with several curveballs dipped in acid and quirky, very hypnotic percussions. The whole set feels like a natural progression from one style to another, and that's a quality of skillful DJ. Mark brings on proper UK vibes in the last quarter of the mix and finishes it with Neinzer’s gem - Horus from Timedance’s Patina Echoes compilation from a few years back.
