The Profile

Vladislav Delay is the primary alias of Finnish electronic musician Sasu Ripatti, known for immersive ambient, dub techno and glitch-based explorations across longform compositions. Active since the 1990s, he has released acclaimed albums such as Multila, Entain, Anima, The Four Quarters, Tummaa, Vantaa, Visa and Rakka.

Publicly known as Sasu Ripatti (Finland), he also records as Luomo, Sistol, Uusitalo, Conoco and Ripatti. Reviews highlight Anima as a single long track of evolving glitch-dub textures, and Entain as pure electronics with extended pieces including “Kohde”, “Poiko”, “Notke” and “Ele”.

Three reviews paint Vladislav Delay as a master of longform, detail-rich electronics. Anima is praised as a single immersive hour, while Entain is framed as pure electronics with narrative finesse. Imagery of urban nocturnes, dub pulses and glitch shards recurs. Overall tone: appreciative, with one more reserved take.
