Fields of Variance (Spacious Mix)

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.

Hearing since '84, listening since i can remember. Sharing sounds that resonate!

- pine:  triumph of life over darkness, human enlightenment, eternal life and regeneration, languish.

- koan: used in Zen Buddhism to demonstrate the inadequacy of logical reasoning and to provoke enlightenment.

🎶 Music isn't just about what you hear, it's about what you feel. It's an energy that permeates your heart and soul. 🎶

Youn1que, whose real name is Christopher Jean Ooms, is a new psychedelic trance producer from British Columbia, West Coast Canada, residing in Victoria on Vancouver Island.

I have been DJing since late 2011, and started producing my own Psy-Trance in December 2022.

Since playing my first gig at the Sunset Room(Victoria,BC) in Feb 2012 for DJ's In A Box, I have played at venues such as Hush Nightclub(Vic), The Cambie Pub(Vic), the Sunset Room a few more times, have gotten a residency at SONiCA Afterhours(Vic) from 2012-2013, played top 40/electro music at the club Svelte Lounge(Vic) from Nov2013-March2013, DJ'd frequent weekend nights at Temple Afterhours, and have spun monthly friday nights at The Gallery Nightclub for Soulfix's "Friday, I Love You!" series. Aside from having played house/deep house music at various clubs and afterhours in Victoria, I have played countless events and raves around Vancouver Island and the Vancouver mainland area over my many years of DJing, and when I play events and raves outside of the clubs it is usually Psy-Trance being played. I got into electronic music first from the psychedelic music of Shpongle and then discovered Infected Mushroom & Astrix which got me into Psychedelic Trance because I loved their creativity with sounds and technical production with high energy bass and hypnotic melodies.
Over time I have returned more to my roots in Psy-Trance and have given it more of a focus, bringing something new to the north american west coast because of there being little psy-trance in the area, and recently in December 2022 I embarked on the journey of music production and started producing my own Psy-Trance music, and created a record label "Youn1que Records" on Beatport to release my music on.
