ORBIT Series #36 - Michael Ius

Rill is a DJ and producer from Berlin, Germany, and the co-head of the label Syntop. With several releases, he continues to showcase his production skills. His sound is best described as timeless techno soundscapes enriched with creative sound design. 

Drawing inspiration from early 2010s techno, Rill’s track selection blends atmospheric, percussive, and groovy elements. His moderate yet precise use of synths and FX adds depth, resulting in an overall hypnotic and immersive experience.

CLOSERcast #094 - RILL

VARIA is pleased to present the next episode in its podcast series featuring Metapattern, an artist dedicated to weaving "patterns of patterns" from the rich tapestry of techno.

Their music draws inspiration from the genre's deep Detroit roots, seamlessly blending them with the diverse sub-genres that have emerged over the years.

Prepare for a sonic journey through techno's evolution. Metapattern's tracks range from deep, hypnotic grooves and infectious rhythms to introspective soundscapes and cinematic explorations. With releases on forward-thinking labels like FLOAT, Truncate, and MORD, Metapattern has quickly established themselves as a dynamic and innovative force in the scene. Their sound has evolved from a focus on harder, more mental textures towards a broader palette, prioritizing expressive tools to craft tracks that are both functional and deeply engaging.

Metapattern seeks a delicate balance between familiarity and innovation. Their goal is to push the boundaries of techno while honoring its roots, delivering music that is not only dancefloor-ready but also imbued with emotion and a profound sense of artistry. This deep connection to the dancefloor stems from the artist's lifelong passion for movement, translating that energy and expression into every beat.

Metapattern is also an Ableton certified professor, author of two books, "Secrets Of Techno," and a professional educator for nearly two decades.

We're also thrilled to share  that Metapattern has just released their second album, "Lost Tapes," on the MORD label.

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

VARIA 005 - METAPATTERN

This mix for BLUR is a glimpse into the spectrum of sounds that inspire me—deep, driving, and unpredictable. I wanted to explore different shades of my style while keeping it fun and playful, without revealing too much of what’s to come at the event in March. Expect hypnotic grooves, raw energy, and moments of tension and release—just a taste before the full impact hits.

For the seventeenth edition of our guest mix series, we're more than thrilled to welcome none other than Miami-based Diana Franco. 

Still early in her journey, Diana Franco has thrown herself into music production with intensity, working daily to shape a sound that's both personal and distinct. Influenced by a community of like-minded artists, her progress has been fast and focused. 

That same focus comes through in her DJ sets: hypnotic, high-pressured, and built with precision. She weaves dark, driving energy into deep, textured rhythms that command attention.

As part of the E-HRZN Records collective, Diana is committed to pushing underground techno forward and spotlighting new voices. With rhythm and connection at her core, she’s carving a path well beyond the local scene.

Thank you for your work.
