HAMMAHALLE 115 by VARUS

To us, Industrial techno has always embodied a political ethos: a sonic force anchored in solidarity, defiance, and an unrelenting commitment to justice. We champion love as a radical act of resistance, peace forged through collective mobilization, and unity that transcends systemic divisions. It is profoundly encouraging to witness emerging voices within the scene confront entrenched hierarchies, harnessing their art as a catalyst for societal transformation. Their unwavering rejection of conformity—and their determination to dismantle oppressive structures—epitomizes the enduring spirit of our movement. VARUS about his HAMMAHALLE set: This set was forged in defiance as a tribute to those who rise against tyranny in Turkey. Let the oppressors tighten their grip, let them cloak the skies in fear we do not kneel. Our voices are thunder, our unity a storm. This is more than sound, it is a battle cry. There is no deliverance in isolation. We are one in resistance, in hope, in fire. All of us, or none at all.

In his sound, atmosphere plays a central role as a multidimensional concept that shapes sensory, emotional, and intellectual effects. He often prefers to use ominous and unsettling synths alongside harsh and shattering kicks. Irregular sounds buried beneath a steady 4/4 rhythm or unexpectedly shifting tones push the boundaries between familiarity and alienation. The atmosphere he aims to create is dominated by uncertainty and eeriness. He believes this aligns directly with the inherent uncertainty of life and the unknown nature of the future.
