A restrained full-length on Way Of House, shaped for deeper rooms and patient selectors.

DELON keeps TRACES in the low-lit zone between deep house and indie dance

TRACES feels most at home in the parts of the night where the room is already moving, but nobody needs the obvious signal yet. DELON’s new LP for Way Of House, released on 13 May 2026, keeps a deep house core running through it while pulling in darker groove pressure, indie dance colour and light afro-touched rhythm work.

The record strength is in the way it holds tension without overworking it: steady drums, a purposeful low-end, percussion that rolls rather than snaps, and melodic details kept dusky and uncluttered. TRACES uses those shades as atmosphere rather than a fixed template.

For selectors moving between deep house and indie dance, TRACES lands in a useful pocket: grounded, percussive and quietly atmospheric, with enough detail to reward a closer listen. The release is listed through the Way Of House Beatport page: https://www.beatport.com/label/way-of-house/37165
