The most productive moniker of Finnish electronic musician Sasu Ripatti, Vladislav Delay constructs fractured soundscapes that evoke the vast, barren Arctic tundra, yet often radiate a warmth inspired by dub reggae. While Ripatti has produced more DJ-friendly techno and house under names such as Uusitalo, Sistol, and especially Luomo, his work as Vladislav Delay generally consists of lengthy, semi-improvised mutations of dub, ambient, glitch, noise, and avant-jazz. He has received much acclaim for challenging yet rewarding full-lengths like Multila (2000) and Anima (2001). In addition to solo work under several aliases, he has participated in collaborative projects such as AGF/Delay, the Dolls, and the Moritz von Oswald Trio. He spent much of the 2010s composing film and television soundtracks, additionally working with Nils Petter Molvær, Eivind Aarset, and Sly & Robbie. He returned to solo work with two Rakka volumes and Isoviha during the early 2020s.
