INFO:
With his first EP on Token, Phara conjures up four tracks detailing dancefloor impact with robust personality. In ‘Second Skin’, the Belgian artist is eager for resolution, keeping tension high with the bold analog sound he’s known for. Coming eye to eye with the label’s sound, Phara pays homage to Token while fiercely defending years of artistic direction - layering the label’s astral ambiance with his unstoppable movement.

‘Second Skin’ sets Phara’s intentions clear. The titletrack rolls forward like heavy machinery with what seems like shifting vocals breathing life into the stereo image. This first cut is a gold standard of peaktime production, creating a sense of purpose at the core of urgency. Claps and rides boom and whip around the track that lumbers on with chord stabs to add soul to flare. ‘The Ring’, however, takes the listener into another direction. Heavily centered on the drum sequence with a sharp slap-back delay, Phara plays with resonance, sparking psychosis amongst movement. Playful in the short term, ‘The Ring’ proves to be an ultra-hypnotic track reserved for a set’s high intensity stretches on an already surrendered dancefloor. Taking this energy and pulling it in, ‘Neon’ comes to establish a bit more intimacy at first. Here, the producer diffuses his elements into themselves and, in turn, creates a thick ambiance that drives the record forward in space and dissonance. ‘Neon’ is inquisitive and almost spiritual in its effect, playing with the line between a unified dancefloor and an introspective journey. The conclusion to the EP is ‘Blood’, a return to dryer production - at least in the beginning. Ambient, almost psychedelic synth work sucks in the listener over unwavering energy to create a closing track worthy of its name. Rolling through to the end, ‘Blood’ delivers the final blow to an insatiable record on Token by Phara.

Gordo Trax presents its first split, pairing STNDRD — a Portuguese producer based in Barcelona—with Wale’s Motion Symmetry for a four-track statement where pressure, momentum and atmosphere align. STNDRD sets the course with “Underdog”, a close-quarters groove that hisses and bites in all the right places, before opening the scope on “Temporal Voyager”, all taut drums and elastic low-end. 

The baton passes to Motion Symmetry as “Andromeda” widens the frame with cool, star-facing motifs orbiting a granite rhythm section, and “Serol” closes with steppy drum science and quietly luminous pads—letting the room exhale without losing drive. Two voices, one arc: a split that balances muscle and finesse while extending the Gordo Trax continuum.

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

Avid music collector, DJ's DJ, Vincent Neumann has gathered a loyal underground following by word of mouth, with consistently brilliant closing sets and long patient vinyl orientated mixing. 

Born, raised and currently residing in Leipzig, Vincent Neumann works as a psychotherapist during the day and as a dj by night. As one of the residents of Leipzig's Distillery since 2012, he happily gets to share his passion for dance music regularly. 

The vibes during his DJ sets are regularly described as energetic, driving, enthusiastic and sometimes even relentless, without ever sacrificing taste, quality and joyfulness. For him, authenticity will always stand above fame, and if you witness one of his marathon sets at Berghain or elsewhere you will understand what the fuss is about. 

In order to further plant his musical footprint into the sticky melange of spilled drinks and cigarettes on the world’s dancefloors, Vincent founded his own label, Unitas Multiplex, in 2020. So far highly acclaimed releases from the likes of Billie Joe, Fundamental Interaction, Inter Gritty and Linn Elisabet have seen the light of the day, with more to be expected in the future. Who knows, maybe he will even release music from his own feather sometime in the distant future. Until then you can definitely keep relying on his contagious energy and taste behind the decks.
This episode continues VARIA’s mission: championing considered electronic expression and lasting artistry.

Float Records proudly welcomes Tremor for his debut release, The Silver Intruder. What began as a lighthearted joke about a Hyundai i40 — nicknamed “The Silver Intruder” — quickly evolved into something far deeper: a sonic narrative brimming with detail, atmosphere, and Tremor’s distinctive storytelling approach.

Known for his signature sound that feels both airy and intricately layered, Tremor crafts tracks that reveal new dimensions with every listen. Minimalistic on the surface yet rich with subtle elements, The Silver Intruder captures the arrival of an enigmatic presence — music that is playful in origin, but complex and immersive in execution.

A central figure in the contemporary scene, Setaoc Mass delivers five tracks of intimidatingly dystopian techno for Fuse’s next release. Synth-heavy and melodically focused, the UK native brews moody tones over his signature percussion to provide a touch of improvisation for balance. In Static Rush, genres and influences collide under the persistence of concrete club music.
A haunting synth sequence opens FUSE10 with ‘The Sky Above’, showcasing Setaoc Mass’s intentions for the rest of the release. Playing with decay and sifting through shakers, the seasoned producer fills the spectrum with constant tension throughout the entirety of the A1. In ‘Shade’, whipping white noise over sixteenth synth notes, the pressure rises and falls with whistling accents on the transitions. Keeping the dancer on their toes with a lively arrangement, Setaoc Mass keeps his hands on all elements to maximise the record’s progression. Moving to the B side, Feeling blends harmony and robust tone. Claps thunder through the track’s warehouse acoustics, complemented by a sharp lead cutting through a heavy low end. The structure remains elusive and quick like the previous two, and it boasts a full, grinding sound destined for peak-time sets.
The end of Feeling then dips down into a two-track journey of ethereal sound designs and soft melodies. Keeping the rhythm swinging, Flutter By settles the atmosphere with an IDM-inspired iced synth and pads. This change of emotion pushes depth into the record, providing a welcome surprise in Static Rush. Setaoc Mass then signs off with the final contribution to the EP, Overload. Pushing further than ever into melody with hints of Detroit electro and a complete absence of a kick, the producer teases a slithering arrangement that ends his record with a bold conclusion.

INFO
 
Beginning of 2012 Phase caused quite a storm in techno’s landscape with the release of ‘Binary Opposition’. Both versions, “Process 1 &amp; 2”, fierce pieces of relentless yet deep techno, got on heavy rotation by Blawan, Ben Klock, Surgeon, Marcel Dettmann, Dave Clarke, to name a few.
 
A few months later, we present ‘Binary Opposition Reprocessed’. Assembling a remix package for this project wasn’t a difficult task, as all remixers were noted fans of the original tracks and supporters of Phase as an artist.
