Alex is sunning himself in Brazil, so it's just David and Daniel who start by delving into the world of tech, focusing on the performance issues of One UI 7 and where it all went wrong for Samsung over the past few months. Have the latest updates helped? Daniel explains… We chatted about the latest rumours about iPadOS and iOS, what new features they may bring, and how they might look. The discussion then shifts to YouTube, reflecting on its growth as a content platform and how we started to watch content and what made us think we might want to try it ourselves. We shared anecdotes about our early experiences with YouTube and how it influenced our content creation journeys, especially during COVID. Also, who are the creators we look up to? Who inspires us, and what is this current theme of 'dunking' on other channels all about? Authenticity was touched on, and we talked in detail about how important we find that in the content we both make and watch. There are some rumoured new changes coming to how YouTube may display videos on your homepage feed that could have major implications - we talk over whether we think they are good for creators or not. Then we chatted about cameras as David has just bought a new lens for his Canon, and what lenses Daniel may be looking to upgrade to next. Finally, we spoke about the importance of having a dedicated studio space and the freedom and creativity that brings...

Forever evolving and progressing her sounds, Nadia Struiwigh's ear and passion for coaxing out the best from her array of studio gear always results in tracks with a certain je ne sais quoi. Through emotionally charged ambient releases like Pax Aurora on Nous'klaer, or Birds of Paradise on Dekmantel, her artistic freedom is a key factor that provides a freshness to her music. Like the musical yin and yang, from Ambient to the dancefloor, Nadia's adeptness at creating special tracks doesn't end at the beatless border. Her live sets are stories of twisting techno, you know the kind that makes you shake your head at how well all the elements combine into one cohesive track. In line with this is her forthcoming release on the storied British imprint, Blueprint Records. Titled X1 Shift, the four tracker joins Voxis Ohlun (2024) as her second, masterclass in hardware driven techno. Glimmerfall arrives immediately with warm waves of undulating synths bouncing and shifting in the background. Punchy kicks and a breakish pattern keep things moving along, while Nadia's arrangement and various element choices elevate the track even more as a testament to her sequencing skills. We'll certainly be hearing this out in many a set, and club, rightfully so. Glimmerfall and the rest of Nadia's X1 Shift release will be out on the 4th of April. @nadiastruiwigh @jamesruskin-blueprint www.instagram.com/nadiastruiwigh/ Write up by @huedj Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

Back in the top four... for 24 hours at least! Matt Davies-Adams, Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher are back to reflect on the much-needed 4-0 victory over a sorry Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night. We focus on some of the key positives from a game Enzo Maresca's side simply couldn't lose - before turning our attention to Cole Palmer's visible frustration as his struggles in front of goal continued. Plus, the positives of another impressive cameo from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto's suitability up top. Liam was on hand in SW6 to witness the pre-match protests directed at the club's owners. We get a flavour of the assembled crowd and sentiment amongst the fans... There may be no game to preview after the Blues' FA Cup exit - but that won't stop Matt from conducting a (very random) quiz! So a CFC-free weekend, but we'll be back on Monday to reflect on how the women's team fared on their return to action in the WSL against Brighton AND a look ahead to Thursday night's trip to Denmark to face København.

Former deputy prime minister John Prescott died yesterday at the age of 86. Often described as a ‘political bruiser', Ed Balls and George Osborne remember Prescott differently: as a policy powerhouse and as a skilled negotiator between Blair and Brown. Does a comparable player exist in today's Labour government? And, Ed recalls the moment he was involved in a car chase with ‘Two Jags' himself.With the assisted dying bill facing a second reading next week, the pair consider whether it will pass or be voted down. Is the issue set to be off the agenda for a generation, or could Starmer rescue the bill?Plus: the Budget may not have fallen apart, but with Scottish Labour sending different messages, farmers (and Jeremy Clarkson) on the march and mortgage rates rising, we take a look at its political impact.
