Singles

Released in 2022, Singles represents a distillation of Sasu Ripatti's (Vladislav Delay) long-standing fascination with the intersection of dub, glitch, and experimental techno. While the title might suggest a collection of accessible tracks, the album is actually a cohesive exploration of rhythmic deconstruction. Each track, titled simply with a number, functions as a study in texture and timing. The production is characterized by a high-contrast mix where bone-dry percussion sits atop vast, reverb-drenched spaces. This record continues the trajectory of his later work - moving away from the 'hazy' dub of the early 2000s toward a more aggressive, 'shattered' aesthetic. It occupies a unique space in his catalog, bridging the gap between his more abstract soundscapes and his footwork-influenced experiments under the Ripatti moniker. Critical reception noted the album's uncompromising nature and its ability to make digital errors feel like intentional, expressive gestures.
