‘Hypnosis’ was one of Drumcode’s most vital under-the-radar releases of 2019. Its creator, Veerus, returns to the mothership for another top-shelf offering.

The Italian’s career is a brilliant slow burner, releasing EPs sparingly over the course of his 14-year career. There’s a narrative quality too each track too, the artist reveling in a drama-laden call-and-response dynamic. All three cuts from his latest ‘System’ EP are made for big moments. The title track was created with Amsterdam’s holy rave cauldron the Gashouder in mind, and was completed by Veerus just a few days before ADE last year. Balancing on a knife’s edge between tension and euphoria, the track’s twisted synth lines sent an energy surge through the iconic venue. ‘Year’ is a deadly one-two combo of synapse-searing synths and sharp drums as jagged waves of sound throb with panoramic effect. It was a captivating highlight of Beyer’s set at Amnesia in Milan in February, the final session before the lockdown. ‘Pyramid’ was debuted at Beyer’s Cercle performance last September, sound tracking a blissful post-sunset moment at the Théâtre antique de Lugdunum in Lyon.

Music is my escape, my journey, and my way of expressing what words alone can’t. Life has been a mix of struggles and beauty—losing my younger brother in 2020, a tough childhood, and saying goodbye to friends too soon. But through it all, music has been my constant.

I love how the right lyrics, rhythms, and sounds can take me to another world, letting me feel everything at once. If I find a song I love, I’ll play it on repeat, getting lost in every note. Music is universal, just like I am—I connect with good, honest people from all over the world.

Beyond music, I’m fascinated by the mysteries of the universe. How did it all begin? What’s out there beyond what we can see? I don’t have the answers, but I keep searching. I wouldn’t call myself religious, but I do believe in more than we can understand.

I love animals, nature, and the feeling of creating something real. When I write lyrics, I can go for 8 hours straight, chasing the perfect words. I’m just starting my journey in making music, but I’m here to learn, grow, and create songs that truly mean something.

It depends on how much you want your age to define your musical journey. If you feel it’s relevant—like emphasizing that you’re starting music at 46 and proving it’s never too late to follow a passion—you could mention it briefly. Something like:

At 46 (Born 9-24-1978), I’m just beginning my journey in making music, proving that passion has no age limit.

Let’s connect through sound.
