VARIA is pleased to present the next episode in its podcast series, featuring Confusion.

Confusion is a producer and resident DJ of Raserei. His dancefloor-oriented sound is defined by highly effective rhythms, minimalist synths, and trippy pads or textures that traverse various tempos and subgenres while maintaining a consistent and immersive energy. Drawing on his roots as a drummer and the evolving landscape of techno over the decades, he also finds inspiration in ambient soundscapes, IDM, and other experimental electronic styles.

Since 2017, Confusion has been shaping the regional techno scene in Mannheim and its surroundings. His trajectory soon expanded to institutional clubs such as Tresor Berlin and RSO. As co-host of a visionary event series at Disco Zwei, he has been instrumental in bringing forward-thinking artists to the local scene. Alongside the club nights, the Raserei residents also launched a record label of the same name, extending their collective vision beyond the region.

In recent years, his artistic focus has expanded toward producing his own stripped-down yet timeless techno. Following his debut release, he put out his first vinyl on the esteemed SK_eleven label, run by Setaoc Mass, as part of the SKX series. His tracks have since gained support from key figures including DVS1, Luke Slater, Rødhåd, Rene Wise, Philippa Pacho, Marrøn, Blue Hour, and Quelza, with plays at iconic venues such as Berghain, KHIDI, Bassiani, Basement, FOLD, and Radion.

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

VARIA 017 - CONFUSION

After dropping his first vinyl on his own label last year and catching the ears of artists like DVS1, Tarrecc makes his KONFLKT debut. One half of dotwav, Tarrecc takes his solo path to dive into the stripped-down side of Techno. The 3-tracker is built for the floor — straight to the point, peak-time gear, with each cut bringing its own twist for different moments of the night.

Supported by Takaaki Itoh, TWR72, Lobster, Justine Perry, Dax J, Dubfire, SLV and more.

Ikari is a delicate force. With a style led by rhythm, he flirts with glitch and with the roughness that has inspired his sound. His sets and productions are
characterized by an unruliness behavior and a risky essence.
