Chain Records Podcast 015.

For the 15th edition of our podcast series, we’re buzzing to welcome Georg for his first appearance. Emerging from Malta’s underground scene, he’s built a versatile sound that fuses different shades of electronic music, always carried by a signature groove made for dark rooms and long, immersive sessions.

You might remember him from our first VA Dance to Freedom, where he delivered the raw and  driving “Swirl.” Now he’s back with a mix that brings the same energy straight into our podcast series.

Chain Records Podcast 015 Guest Mix Georg (MT)

VARIA is pleased to present the next episode in its podcast series, featuring Confusion.

Confusion is a producer and resident DJ of Raserei. His dancefloor-oriented sound is defined by highly effective rhythms, minimalist synths, and trippy pads or textures that traverse various tempos and subgenres while maintaining a consistent and immersive energy. Drawing on his roots as a drummer and the evolving landscape of techno over the decades, he also finds inspiration in ambient soundscapes, IDM, and other experimental electronic styles.

Since 2017, Confusion has been shaping the regional techno scene in Mannheim and its surroundings. His trajectory soon expanded to institutional clubs such as Tresor Berlin and RSO. As co-host of a visionary event series at Disco Zwei, he has been instrumental in bringing forward-thinking artists to the local scene. Alongside the club nights, the Raserei residents also launched a record label of the same name, extending their collective vision beyond the region.

In recent years, his artistic focus has expanded toward producing his own stripped-down yet timeless techno. Following his debut release, he put out his first vinyl on the esteemed SK_eleven label, run by Setaoc Mass, as part of the SKX series. His tracks have since gained support from key figures including DVS1, Luke Slater, Rødhåd, Rene Wise, Philippa Pacho, Marrøn, Blue Hour, and Quelza, with plays at iconic venues such as Berghain, KHIDI, Bassiani, Basement, FOLD, and Radion.

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

PWCCA - Bloodlit Invocation [Premiere I IW038]

Fakign is an electronic music producer from Estonia. The name, a misspelling of "faking”, reflects an ongoing exploration of what feels real and what doesn't, both on the dancefloor and in everyday life.

Blending raw, hypnotic techno with melancholic motifs, FAKIGN’s sound is percussive, loopy, and cinematic, often shaped by his work in theatre sound design. His music merges human imperfections with machine precision, questioning authenticity while embracing the beauty of flaws, repetition, and emotional intensity.

Fakign is less about answers and more about escape. Faking away the pain for just one night.

________________________________

Fueled by passion, Dutch artist Vera Grace is steadily shaping her own space in Amsterdam’s scene. Her sound continues to evolve, blending modular synthesis with hypnotic rhythms and deep mental trips that make you lose sense of time. She approaches DJing as a way to create something new through layering, while her productions focus on warped sound design.

Her curiosity about modular synthesis opened a new dimension in her work. She started developing a fully live analog set and has recently begun performing with her modular system, constantly pushing her sound forward.

Her most recent EPs, What Was Always There and Funktion Over Form, convey a clear essence in her sound. She moves fluidly between broken rhythms, ambient trips, psychedelic textures, and driving 4/4 tracks, all while staying true to the genre’s roots.

After graduating the Conservatorium of Amsterdam, Vera Grace is steadily forging her place in the scene, with performances at clubs like Radion, Grelle Forelle, Elysia, FVTVR, Tresor, and festivals such as Aquasella, Awakenings and DGTL already under her belt.
