In 2015, Varien released The Ancient and Arcane, an epic collection of angelic songs and stories that transports the listener into a beautiful, foreign world. Now, five years later, Varien has released his fourth album, yet this time, the world we are being transported to is far different than the world in The Ancient and Arcane.
If you weren’t aware, Varien’s debut album The Ancient & Arcane is due out on August 5th. For an artist that has reinvented himself and his music many times over, this is something you should be excited about.
The first single for his album, “Supercell” featuring Veela, is now out with an incredible accompanying video. It features a woman behind a computer screen, writing code, as she realizes that her code is sentient, personified by Varien himself. Though he looks odd in white as opposed to his usual black, his journey to humanity via music is blissfully enticing.
To this point, I haven’t even mentioned what the track sounds like, which is brilliant in its own right. Veela’s voice glides softly over the melodic bassline and delicate kicks. The beauty of this track is in the writing, production and arrangement, effortlessly conveying a deep message and dancey atmosphere.
I’m so excited for The Ancient & Arcane to finally reach the rest of the world. You don’t know what you’re in for.

Amidst the monotony of endless “superstar” DJ press releases it’s rare to find the raw authenticity of musicianship, but when those select few unrivaled talents pop up like diamonds in the rough, true music fans immediately take notice. Varien is one of those artists. The 25-year-old composer, producer and musician, real name Nick Pittsinger, transcends electronic music with not only his cornucopia of musical styles but his TV and film production and scoring credits on Furious 7, 300: Rise of an Empire, The Purge: Anarchy, The Real World and The Walking Dead. After the Tampa native’s collaborations with mega-talents like Skrillex, Two Steps from Hell and Celldweller, he’s now unveiling his experimental 8-track album debut The Ancient & Arcanevia Monstercat, primed to offer listeners an existential experience. “The Ancient & Arcane is really a free flowing amalgamation of influences and inspirations for me that I’ve held true for a long time,” states Pittsinger. “A lot of people will think this is a ‘reinvention of Varien’ when in reality, the genre-less nature of this album in whole is really what I’m all about.” Incorporating elements of Latin jazz, electro swing and Japanese future bass, among others, Varien emblazons his sonic finesse for his premiere full-length body of work.
The album’s intro track “The Ancient & Arcane” instantaneously transports listeners to an alternate dimension with its ambient sorcery and gripping vocals that parlay the track into a vortex of hypnosis.

“Snowlight” embodies all the energy of time and space as a fast-paced percussive tempo and string echoes float between a chopped and airy vocal sample that is prone to trigger those euphoric ASMR tingles.

Trance fans will appreciate “Supercell” featuring vocals from Canadian newcomer Veela whose angelic voice complements the progressive rhythm and piano rolls.
Bits of electro swing, cheeky exotic vocals and a snappy groove give “Transmissions From Lemuria” an other-worldly vibe that presents a futuristic atmosphere similar to what a pool party in outer space might feel like.
“Hypnotique” is appropriately titled as listeners will find it difficult making their way out of this musical reverie. Drum and bass singer Charlotte Haining’s sultry pipes ride the waves of this world music record packed with conga drums, spanish guitar and an exotic international rhythm.

Meta 1 8 1 – music tag editor. As the album nears its end, we’re able to catch our breath with “Firefly (Intermission)” which seemingly knocks us back down to reality with its ambient sounds and a calm inspiring voice imparting words of wisdom for the come down.
We’ve now landed in a tranquil Japanese garden still surrounded by the same cosmic energy from the previous tracks with “Kamisama” featuring Spanish vocalist Miyoki. Capturing an ethereal effervescence seems natural for Myoki as Varien implements cymbals, gongs and a unique pacing technique of what sounds like a food wrapper being crushed.

It’s time to awaken from your daydream. Enlisting the help of singer-songwriter Laura Brehm, “Ghost Spores” reinvigorates the soul with its harp-tinged melody and orchestral instruments that once again highlight Varien’s idiosyncratic musicianship.
