Monastery Records Presents:

"VARI-TECH VOL.1: FIRST MASS"

The first in a series of techno / house based various artist compilations.

Each artist was tasked with answering the question, "What does techno mean to you?" Naturally, we expected everyone to interpret this prompt from their own personal context and perspective, yielding a plethora of different results and vibes (all of which will make you want to move on the dance floor), whilst maintaining a consistency through out that we could only have hoped to achieve, but definitely didn't anticipate!

We've long been eager to bring this project to fruition, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of this first installment.

Hello, friends.  
This is a free account, so I’m limited in how many mixes I can upload. I regularly rotate them out.  
Some might still be here−check it on Mixcloud!  
Also, due to follow limits, I’ll be reposting tracks I truly vibe with.  
Much respect to all the artists out there.
