About this episode

In this focused one-hour excursion, Variable demonstrates exactly why he is a rising force in the Slovenian underground. True to his reputation for bridging cerebral soundscapes with raw physical power, the mix opens with the intricate, melancholic textures of Artefakt and Rhythmic Theory, setting a mood of deep introspection.

As the set progresses, Variable deftly shifts gears, guiding the listener from the hypnotic loops of Efdemin and Samuli Kemppi into darker, more industrial territories. The selection is a dialogue between modern hypnosis and classic drive, featuring heavy-hitters like Planetary Assault Systems and Function alongside the distinct, off-kilter rhythms of Paleman and Anthony Linell.

Central to the journey is Variable’s own sonic imprint, showcased through a special unreleased production that anchors the set's middle section. Punctuated by exclusive cuts from Connor Wall and Obscur, this mix is a testament to Variable’s ability to construct a narrative that is as mentally stimulating as it is floor-shaking.
