- updated:2026-08-11
MARIO, a Swiss artist who has released works through labels such as 〈AMENTHIA〉—run by AGONIS and GARÇON—as a member of the ambient techno unit VARUNA, explores new territory in his solo work, delving into the very essence of ambient techno! A new release on 〈CRYSTAL CEREMONY〉, a sub-label of 〈TRANSMIGRATION〉. Powerful bass drive meets trippy top lines. Immersive techno that showcases his honed ability to construct soundscapes.
Track List
Catalog No. 4, following in the footsteps of techno masters BLACK MERLIN and ATOMIC MOOG! It kicks off with “Devil’s Hole Mine” (sample 1), which fuses a cold, textural synth ambience with a powerful, groovy bassline, followed by “Magma” (sample 2), where undulating lead acid and drums interact in a clever interplay, and the hypnotic techno track “AHDsR” (sample 3), which transforms trippy synth loops into an immersive soundscape—this is a superb release that puts the sound-design skills VARUNA has cultivated to work in energetic deep techno productions.
