Vladislav Delay is one of the pseudonyms of Sasu Ripatti, a Finnish electronic musician. He has also performed as Luomo , Sistol , Uusitalo and Conoco. He has been involved in the ambient music, glitch, house, and techno genres. His method of track production involves a mixture of looping, sample weaving, and live reprocessing. Many tracks have an organic feeling that pervades through rolling dubby basslines, hypersliced vocal snippets.

Anima, released in 2001 under the Vladislav Delay moniker, is an hour long mixture of harmony, dissonance and layers of clicks and pops. Some have compared it to a creation of a work was in which Delay overdubbed himself fumbling around cleaning the studio.

Sasu has released EP's and albums on labels such as Force Tracks , Chain Reaction , Mille Plateaux and Resopal .

Sasu uses Ableton Live during live performances.
