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.

----
So we know we have released a couple tracks since Roses, of which we all love, but we would consider this as our follow up to Roses. We consider this to be our most complete track and just like Roses came together in one session for the most part.  We wrote this track with the talented Emily Warren who you might recognize from DLMD and with Scott. The trap sound is a custom sound we made using one of loupvcks soundpacks actually...haha shout out guys! and you can tell we were really feeling the XX vibes when did this and actually had JUST bought the electric guitar we used so we were really feeling it. On top of this all we were lucky enough to have Daya get involved who so talented and did an amazing job on the vocal!  Just make sure you stick around till the 3rd drop!

We also just want to say thanks for the ongoing support! We cant believe our 2015 and we know we took a couple months off from releasing music, but we spent it working on so much new stuff so we hope you are ready!

Note from us: We played this as our encore song on our friendzone tour so some of you may recognize it!

FUN REAL FACTS
1) We actually finished this song entirely and our laptop crashed and lost everything. We mean literally everything... so we had to remake the whole thing
2) Alex is the first person to Dab on fallon #dabonfallon
3) We both just moved to LA... its dope
4) Our videographer Sam Kolder has a 10 pack...its weird...
5) For every human on Earth there are 1.6 million ants.
6) The total weight of all those ants, however, is about the same as all the humans.
7)Drew is singing on our next single!

Our track Maelstrom is on the compilation Resonant Heart on Kalya Scintilla's new label Merkaba Music http://www.theuntz.com/kalya-scintilla-resonant-heart-compilation-review

Variant Field - Maelstrom

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.
