Variant Field is a collaboration between Amani Friend of Desert Dwellers & Alex DeYoung. Blending many sources of inspiration into abstract and cerebral soundscapes that are equally suitable for both the feet and the mind.  Their intelligent and textured productions pulse with hypnotic-punchy beats, earth shaking bass, and blissful cinematic expansions and melodies .... Variant Field occupies the realms between sonic worlds.

Variant Field

A Mystic’s PsyDub Groove🧿🍄☮️ - 3

One of the biggest albums to come out of the west coast bass music scene in 2013 was undoubtedly David Starfire's Ascend, which blended the multi-faceted producer's penchant for Eastern melodies, tribal beats, bhangra, reggae, dub, and glitch. Packed with a murderer's row of talented musicians, the follow-up package of Ascend Remixes is equally bursting with talent.

Today's premieres come from two of the fastest growing luminaries in the transformational scene. Govinda pumps up the bounce quotient with his take on "Indian Summer," injecting the tune with playful whomps and a sturdy kick.

Australian sensation Kalya Scintilla takes a transcendent approach to "Electrify Me," decorating the delicate soundscape with earthy textures that surround and penetrate. The light, airy tune takes on accoutrements like a sacred audio altar. The result is a powerful perfume that awakens the senses.

Remixes from GAUDI, Whitebear, and contest winner GoldyLoxX reinvigorate these songs with new life and allow fans to get a brand new look at their favorite tracks. You can snag these two downloads for free, but make sure to get the entire remix album on April 1st from Six Degrees Records.

Desert Dwellers are a world renowned electronic music act known for blending modern electronica beats, sounds and deep bass with classical ethnic world instruments and vocals. It is truly impossible to give their sound a specific genre as they’re known to float into so many realms of music that they simply have their own unique style that is beyond being genre-fied. In late 2015 the Dwellers joined up with Sofa Beats for international bookings, and as part of this new partnership they put together an epic compilation of many of todays most cutting edge producers in the downtempo psy-dub and chill out genres. The compilation titled “The Clear Path” features superstar producers Kalya Scintilla, Birds Of Paradise, Whitebear, Kaminanda, Tribone, Sixis, AtYya, WolfTech, Dimmat and of course Desert Dwellers themselves, including two remixes of DD by Mumukshu and Landswitcher! Its safe to say that this compilation is oozing with psychedelia and serious BASS!!! Its certain to be on constant rotation for all the world’s top chill out DJs for many years to come.

Variant Field - Maelstrom

Wake The Lion is the 3rd album from the oregon based power trio, Indubious. Produced by the Internationally renowned producer and composer Gaudi. The groundbreaking new sound and style is being referred to as Rootstronica, a high energy blend of reggae driven melodies, crunchy electronica style synths and beats, all backed by skilled live instrumentation. 

Seventh Generation

Born from a path of shared experience and kinship, Variant Field is a fusion of two minds traversing the boundless landscapes of beat-driven electronica from one chapter of musical history to the next. Touching on every tempo and instilled with the energy and spirit of warehouse, club, desert, and festival culture, the project draws upon technical influences from years recent and past while reveling in its creators’ enduring instincts to explore, expand, and reshape concepts lying at the core of music and the greater human experience.

After meeting in Santa Fe, NM in the mid-nineties, producers Alex DeYoung and Amani Friend (Desert Dwellers, Liquid Bloom) began producing electronic music together in 2004, developing a distinct sound that collided the cerebral influence of IDM and UK electronica with a genre-blending array of fast and downtempo beats, heady breaks, deep bass, and rich dub rhythms that spoke to their mutual love of underground music and dance floor culture. Building on musical themes that had endured through the decades, DeYoung and Amani’s releases displayed a timeless and technical quality that bore the hallmarks of numerous musical styles yet could not be decisively placed into any single genre. They began releasing these deep and cinematic stylings in 2008 under the banner of Variant Field and quickly found favor in the international scene, with releases on Iboga Records, Merkaba Music, Interchill Records, Twisted Records, and Desert Trax lining their discography in the years that followed.

A portal to the unfolding story of electronica through time, Variant Field’s compositions occupy a space between niches and deviate from the traditional constraints imposed by genres, tempo ranges, and the everlasting battle between light and darkness that has come to define music scenes across the globe. Whether inoculating ambient soundscapes with syncopated drumwork and heavy bass, blending acid-style synth progressions with classical instrumentation and mid-tempo beats, or conjuring opulent psychedelic atmospheres alongside the warm and soothing rhythms of boom bap, the duo’s sonic identity is rooted in the notion that music is a spectrum without limits — flexible, expansive, and perpetually in flux.
