VARIA is proud to present the third episode of its podcast series, featuring the brother duo Audio Units. Drawing inspiration from art, science fiction, and technology, they are devoted to an authentic, cerebral techno process, shaped by a pragmatic hardware-driven approach.

Known for releases on labels like Molecular, Newrhythmic, Dynamic Reflection, and Illegal Alien, Audio Units craft a sound defined by pulsating rhythms, omnipresent groove, and controlled power. Their sets, whether DJ or live (debuted in 2024), explore everything from subtle cadences to accelerated grooves, showcasing an instinctual ability to read the dancefloor and trailblazing mixing technique.

Beyond their own work, Audio Units actively enrich the techno ecosystem via their Observant label, their Beatworx school, and their Afterworx events.

Their approach aligns perfectly with VARIA's vision: highlighting deep, lasting electronic music. This exclusive mix offers a direct invitation into their refined yet powerful sonic world, further explored by their insights shared in answers to selected questions.

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

VARIA 003 - AUDIO UNITS

Release Date: 16-05-2025


A shift in perception, a rupture in the known—Isabel Soto carves a new space within the abyss with Habitat Alteration. Sine Space 7 is very proud to present the latest EP by Isabel Soto, reinforced with a remix by the fantastic Elisa Batti. Available on vinyl and digital on the 16th of May. This latest EP is an exploration of tension, with the distinctive hypnotic pulses that are so characteristic of Soto.

With a meticulous blend of deep, rolling basslines and unsettling, high-pressure pad textures, Soto orchestrates an environment where time distorts and the senses unravel. The EP's sound design is razor-sharp, each element precisely crafted to immerse the listener in a state of heightened awareness—dark, brooding, and unrelenting.

Elisa Batti steps in with a remix that tightens the grip, amplifying the tension while injecting more rawness into one of Soto’s tracks. Sculpting the original’s ghostly elements into an even sharper and hard-hitting framework, Batti’s interpretation is a masterclass in controlled intensity, leaving no escape from the spiraling hypnosis.

This is techno for those who seek the darkness, a sonic habitat where alteration is inevitable.

RARÓG hails from the industrial heartland of western Poland, with a sound that has always explored dark and enigmatic realms. Previous works, such as the haunting and immersive ‘Exposure Incident EP’, have demonstrated his mastery of crafting dystopian soundscapes while drawing influence from IDM, drone, ambient, EBM, and even the sinister undertones of black metal. The Profanum Records founder has a shadowy intensity and unrelenting depth of sound, and his magnificent ‘Chains EP’ plunges even further into an intoxicating and otherworldly abyss.

The title track opens with rumbling low-end menace and makes for a meticulously engineered descent into atmospheric oblivion. Wispy hi-hats shimmer while distant winds blow through a deserted landscape that hums with unease. Deep techno gem 'Silk' features double kick drums that grow in intensity beneath the fizz of static and creepy sound designs, which keep you looking over your shoulder. In contrast, 'Stain' is more unhinged, as overloaded computer circuitry melts down, alien sounds permeate the mix, and subterranean rhythms roll deep. 'Unknown Call' is a final trip into a futuristic techno underworld with pulsing synths and the inherent threat of danger growing ever more real through edgy modulations and nebulous eﬀects that all redefine the contours of contemporary techno.

Marcel Fengler - Sphinx (Edit) - IMF

Everyone's fate is made of many tales. Although our own destiny might be dwelling in our breast, it also takes strong convictions and the courage to challenge yourself. DJ, producer and label manager Marcel Fengler is the best example that talent isn’t just a matter of luck, but the will to believe in your own passions while constantly developing them. Today, Fengler has not only been quoted as „one of the finest techno DJs“ (Resident Advisor), he has earned international respect for his „well-crafted body of production work“ (FACT) introducing his unique and „multi-faceted personality“ (Electronic Beats). 

While growing up, he was first fascinated by the hip-hop culture, breakdance, and graffiti art, Fengler’s interest shifted towards techno music and the art of DJing after the Berlin wall came down. As a vinyl nerd he began playing records during the early nineties. By witnessing Claude Young mixing with three record players, Fengler followed his path merging both hearts in his chest: turntablism and techno. Carried away by the magic and the togetherness of the first hardcore and trance raves in such clubs like E-Werk or Tresor, he organized his own parties in his hometown Fürstenwalde.

Over the last two decades, Fengler developed a versatile and dynamic style of DJing that made him one of the first resident DJs of Berlin’s infamous Berghain / Panorama Bar in 2005. With his impressive intuition for the very moment, Fengler is capable of changing pace, atmosphere, and energy reacting to the mood on the dance floor: whether industrial-drenched hardness, broken beats, gloomy dubs or melodic and funky grooves – next to his inimitable instinct, Fengler draws from a varied repertoire. The approach of allowing to drift away within the momentum also applies to his first singles as a producer on such labels like Ostgut Ton and Mote Evolver. His debut album „Fokus“ (2013), in particular, was a statement of his ambitious claim, awarding his own tracks with emotional densities as well as unexpected contrasts. 

Bringing together both his melodic groove and beat tracks and his straighter cuts, he founded his own imprint Marcel Fengler Index (IMF) in 2011 – a platform that not only continues evolving his timeless techno approach but represents a creative center introducing new and young talents. A logical step for an artist who’s always interested in looking beyond his own nose represented by his project DIN, the mutual collaboration with Philipp Sollmann (Efdemin), for the contemporary dance project „Masse“ of the Staatsballett Berlin. 

As a DJ and producer, Marcel Fengler stands for imposing surprises and the appeal of variety. For him, techno is both unconditional passion as well as an essential part of his identity. He’s not bound to a linear or one-dimensional sound, instead, he’s constantly seeking for new ways to express his emotional storytelling skills. His willingness to challenge himself and to stay curious, while establishing changes as his secret persistence, is showing his true vision of techno which makes Marcel Fengler to one of the today’s most exciting electronic artists in these days.
