2018 has been a busy year all round, but yet again we are back with the alluring scent of techno. This time it takes the form of Digital Sound System providing his best, with a 4 track EP on Variant Electronic, and on our thirtieth release. The EP kicks off with the namesake of the release "Able to Prove", a solid track from the first beat with nice evolution throughout, it moves along at a nice rate, with subtle nuanced changes, despite this, the tracks grows with intensity from start to end, a great track to kick of the thirtieth release on Variant. Moving on we have "Access to Landers" as the track opens up you would be excused for thinking this sounds familiar, though the way its execution is flawless, not afraid to experiment along the way, the long breaks with no major urgency build to a great drop and the the familiarity has worn down now it has become its own, no comprehensibility, just good old techno, four on the floor. We then move on to "Deep Solution" another imaginative number on this release, there is a theme to this collection of tracks, one that we often forget about, yet we all enjoy it, four on the floor techno. We are happy to have a release like this from Digital Sound System as we continue with our story, instalment thirty. Like the previous track "Deep Solution" evolves impressively and finishes out in a totally different frame of mind then when we started out. Last but not least we have "Power Concept", another insane track with great potential on the dance-floor, Digital Sound System thought of a great approach and in our mind have accomplished what they set out to do with this release. Fantastic playability throughout, atmosphere, drops and incredible "perc & synth" work.

Label: Variant Electronic
Catalog #: VE035

Variant Electronic return for their thirty-fifth release, this time we are proud to present you our first release from Italian man Francesco Tella, with his phenomenal EP "Riflesso", with two stomping remixes by label regular Dalosso, and label head Luke Creed. Francesco will be doing more projects for us, this release is a great way to kick things off, we got the title track to kick things off in a very unique way, Riflesso is a beautiful winding deep ambient techno track, while remaining powerful in its execution. This sets the standard for the EP, and Francesco does not rest on his laurels, he goes on to hammer it home, his diversity shown just by listening to the next track. Rust, a banging techno number, no holds barred, a really great sound that he keep up with for the rest of the EP with differing style,Fourth Type and Cod 74 keep to this theme, while being cut of a different cloth at the same time, mix in a drip of acid in with Cod 74 and we have the completed solo tracks. Then there are the remixes, label owner Luke Creed provides a trademark four on the floor demolisher with his remix of Fourth Type. Dalosso returns, and he is back with the same vigour and style as always, there is an obvious reason to why Dalosso is on of the most featured artists on Variant Electronic, and he will remain, it would be rude to say he is part of the furniture here, he is more of a centrepiece, expect more from the Dutch maestro this year and beyond. Enjoy the latest instalment of Variant Electronic.

Millhouse has been on the scene for over 10 years, playing in venues throughout Ireland, and more recently Germany. He has worked along side with some great DJ's and producers in the industry; including Dave Clarke, Marco Remus, Luke Creed, Rhythm Technologies, Diarmaid O Meara, Dave the Drummer, & Patrick DSP to name a few. His main influences have been Dave Clarke, Diarmaid O Meara and Variant head Luke Creed. Releasing his music since 2010, his first solo release was on Gobsmacked Records’ 50th release, and since then he has gone from strength to strength, we at Variant, are happy to present this fantastic album, his first release of this size, 13 fantastic original tracks, that will have any techno fan salivating with joy, some floor destroyers in this package for sure. Millhouse made the decision to move to Berlin to work closer with the Gobsmacked Records. Since moving to Berlin he has flourished, seening a string of releases on such labels as Viral Outbreak, Switch Off, Mk recordings, Elmart, his main label Gobsmacked, and also a few so far on Variant, though this is his first full release on the label. Millhouse continuously shows his musical dynamics in mixing and producing. He's known and respected for his dynamic ability to play tracks from Dark Driving Techno to Funky and Hard Techno and his love for solid base beats and driving basslines, and he proves that he can produce as good as he plays with this 13 track album crammed full of variety and goodness. We hope you enjoy this album, it won't be the last time he features on the label. So watch this space and check out his other work, you will be glad you did.

Variant Electronic continue to expand on what should be, this time with an immense EP with one of my personal favourite artists of the past 3 or so years, Ethan Fawkes. It is a true pleasure to have the men, "the enigma", grace Variant with an original number, and provide he did. Ethan is becoming no stranger to the Variant. With his first remix of "a Humanoid Individuals" "Blight and Stagnation" he was of to a killer start quickly becoming one of the top 10 ever tracks sold n our imprint. SO, we would be stupid t not have the main man back, for firstly and original EP with remixes, and between the grapevine we heard there is another Fawkes number on the cards very soon on the imprint. Ethan is here to stay. Alongside Ethans fantastic original we have four incredible remixes. first up we have Jason Mills, Terminus Audio head honcho, provided us with the most "techno" interpretation, with so funky rave breaks, a real floor filler. Following that remix we have one of our main men of 2018, and of the future "The Mark: with and IMMENSE remix, that only The Mark can do, this man never fails to impress, watch this space for LOADS more.... Following up is Luke Creed, label owners, remix.a nice melodica Techno number with some nice progressions, not your status quo techno, but thats not Luke Creed is it? very nice proggy techno track bordering on left field, Last but not least we have a familiar duo in Valerio and Luke Creed with a more techno melodic number on the piece, heavily influenced by the Italian sound, but with that Luke Creed twist you cant deny, Valerio and Luke hit again with a grade a track.

[VE040] Ethan Fawkes - Evolve (Valerio & Luke Creed Remix)

[VE040] Ethan Fawkes - Evolve

In 2018, Variant Electronic discovered one of the most exciting and diverse acts since our conception, not that we haven't already had some of the most talented producers on board, but The Mark really has left his mark (I had to). Since his album Buried alive he has gone from strength to strength, with an incredible remix of Ethan Fawkes track Evolve from our last EP, Master Fawkes replied the favour with an incredible remix of I'm Lost on this LP, another artist who has helped re-brand Variant, Ethan has just started off on VE. Also on remix duties we have VE Regulars, A Humanoid Individual, DRT, Undying Minds (with his second track on the label), label manager Valerio, Shadowcomplex, and Barcelona based From-Chaos-Kindgdom for his first, and most certainly not last, remix on the label. An a new addition to the roster on this LP is the immense Raul Parra, a fantastic producer and DJ to boot. Also included are two brand new originals by The Mark called Gone and Lust, we decided to add them in as they suit the release, and the album in 2019 is hammed packed with bangers. To Review each track is totally in vein as far as I am concerned, this LP is a proper VE release, all regular acts, asides from Raul Parra, but we can guarantee more from him in the future. Some of the remixed tracks that you do not recognise from Buried Alive are upcoming one The Marks upcoming album in 2019 - Just like the movie Tits too hot to handle.. watch this space, The Mark and VE collab is in its infancy.
