Groove Theory 14 | Tristan Blach

VARIA is pleased to present the next episode in its podcast series featuring Metapattern, an artist dedicated to weaving "patterns of patterns" from the rich tapestry of techno.

Their music draws inspiration from the genre's deep Detroit roots, seamlessly blending them with the diverse sub-genres that have emerged over the years.

Prepare for a sonic journey through techno's evolution. Metapattern's tracks range from deep, hypnotic grooves and infectious rhythms to introspective soundscapes and cinematic explorations. With releases on forward-thinking labels like FLOAT, Truncate, and MORD, Metapattern has quickly established themselves as a dynamic and innovative force in the scene. Their sound has evolved from a focus on harder, more mental textures towards a broader palette, prioritizing expressive tools to craft tracks that are both functional and deeply engaging.

Metapattern seeks a delicate balance between familiarity and innovation. Their goal is to push the boundaries of techno while honoring its roots, delivering music that is not only dancefloor-ready but also imbued with emotion and a profound sense of artistry. This deep connection to the dancefloor stems from the artist's lifelong passion for movement, translating that energy and expression into every beat.

Metapattern is also an Ableton certified professor, author of two books, "Secrets Of Techno," and a professional educator for nearly two decades.

We're also thrilled to share  that Metapattern has just released their second album, "Lost Tapes," on the MORD label.

This episode continues VARIA's mission: championing considered electronic expression and lasting artistry.

The Berlin-based DJ and producer Bidoben’s sound merges the spiritual with the physical. Drawing on a lifelong relationship with music, beginning with instruments in his youth and evolving into textured electronic production; his work channels rhythm, emotion, and tension in equal measure.

With releases on Clergy, Truncate, and most recently Sublunar, Bidoben’s output leans into the hypnotic side of techno: deep, percussive and full of layered detail. His brand new EP “Torment” showcases this perfectly, moving from high-impact floor tools to more introspective sonic sketches, all rooted in a desire to evoke something beyond the surface.

Inspired by nature, film and the metaphysical, Bidoben brings a cinematic, almost meditative quality to the booth; crafting sets that are immersive, driving, and emotionally resonant.

For #258, he delivers a journey that blends precision with pulse. Techno designed to move both the body and the mind.

Machine Cult — the Amsterdam-based electronic platform run by Déandrah and Garçon Taupe — returns with the Edition Four release party at OT301 on 7 November.

The new V.A. compilation features tracks from Garçon Taupe, Bertram, 2:29, Beau Wanzer, Déandrah, and Masha Wordpress. At the launch, all contributing artists will play DJ sets, with Déandrah providing live visuals throughout the night.

Expect an evening of potent electronics and immersive visuals, celebrating the forefront of the underground.

Every motion leaves an echo.
A delay so small it feels like memory,
folding back into what made it.

Some parts of us cancel out — out of phase, out of step —
while others ring louder,
resonant at their point of friction.

The closer we listen,
the more we hear the shape of time itself:
not in repetition, but in resistance.

Turn the gain high enough,
and every system sings its own name.

Nothing moves forward without delay.
Every signal returns amended,
shifted by experience.

What we call resonance
is simply agreement through distortion —
a frequency where return and loss sound the same.

Civilization, too, is a filter:
attenuation at the edges,
a boost where the noise gathers.

Push the circuit far enough,
and even silence begins to oscillate —
slightly altered, slightly late.

The self is a comb filter —
a body made of delays and reflections.

What we say
returns a few milliseconds later.
At low frequencies, we disappear;
near our cut-offs, we bloom.

Maybe living
is just tuning the loop
until it almost sings itself apart,
but not quite — building toward a new start. 

Tracklist:

Garçon Taupe - Passage 
Masha Wordpress - You Can’t Hide
2:29 - Dirt Is Chasing You
Beau Wanzer - Close Shave
Bertram - Aguanile feat. Fien 
Déandrah - Karam wants to go
