The cool thing with Varien's music is that the more you listen his music, the more you notice the little details and the more you enjoy the experience of listening to Variens music. With most other music I notice I enjoy the tracks less after listening them a few times. Charlotte's vocals are so stunning and together with the guitar this track really gets a Portuguese/Spanish/Latin American feel. I love how Varien can express different cultures so well in his tracks. The bass is similar to Aether & Light's drop. I think Varien uses the bass throughout his whole LP, which is cool and holds the different tracks together. Listening to Varien isn't just listening, it's an experience. :)
You can hear in the 4:15 in spanish: "En la muerte sufro, pero este sentimiento me hace sentir viva". Whose translation is: "In the death I suffer, but this feeling makes me feel alive".

Vipestarᴴᴰ Ep = Extanded play is pretty easy to explain: It is basically something between a single and an album. And LP = Long play/ing is a little harder to define. It is basically just a cooler name for an album, that some DJ's and producers love to use xD
MonsterLyrics No offense but I feel like you need to listen to more music albums, Daft Punk - Discovery, Owl City - Ocean Eyes, Jamie XX, sorry but you should expand your horizons a little more.
If Varien's good at anything, it's producing. Amazing every time. Another thing being picking the perfect vocalists for what he's going for...perfectly fitting every time.
GAMEazan Really? You need to listen to some more music, dont get me wrong this is good but there are just better out there, Daft Punk - Discovery, Owl City - Ocean Eyes, Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon, Radiohead - Kid A, sorry but you need to expand your horizons...
For those wondering, the words at the end mean: When I love you I suffer, but this suffering makes me feel alive. :) Great song btw! Hope you make it to #1, Varien!
Album of the year. The mixture of modern electronic music and other styles of music is perfect, the variety of instruments, the vocalists... Everything is perfectly put together, big props to Varien!
It's nice to be early! This song and Supercell were my favorites out of this LP, but I acknowledge the raw talent put into the entire LP. Very well done!
This is definitely without a doubt one of my all time favourite songs released! I love how different it is. They was the bass has a pulsating beat and Charlotte Haining creates a majestic and beautiful scene with her singing. On top of that, the Accordion and Mandolin create a European and Mediterranean feel and it makes the song so complete.
HOLY SHIT THIS SONG IS THE BEST OF THE ALBUM (TH-cam releases, not the rest. Ghost Spores takes that cake)!!!! Varien was already my favorite artist, but not he has just become untouchable! Whether it is Haywyre, Coyote Kisses, or any other artist, Varien can top them all! What amazes me the most is that he does all of his songs in less than 10 hours. He says that he loses that initial "spark" and would be unable to finish the song after that short amount of time. Just thinking about how talented he is to only have songs made within that short amount of time released amazes me to no end! His incorporation of a real guitar and those unedited vocals are more than stunning, they are mysteriously phenomenal! No matter what he does, I doubt he can do bad at it (he even made an amazing Big Room House song)! Ayyy!! Kasbo is back! I won't judge it on that preview, but I am hoping it sounds better than it!
The best EP released on Monstercat ever. This song is so amazing, sounds like a mix of Seduce and Aether & Light. And Kasbo is back! It's been a long time, and he's the one that made me love Future Bass! Can't wait for Friday!
I feel like Charlotte Haining is underappreciated as hell on here. She's been on MC since 011. True, I don't particularly love her tones, but there is no denying that she is very talented and good at doing what she does with her voice. It's more of an acquired style of vocalization that I have yet to fully appreciate. But man does it WORK for this song. The raspy feel of her voice injects a sense of maturity into this song. Any softer, and it would compromise its boldness and seriousness (and make it seem like another sweet love song). Varien has always been known for defining ATMOSPHERE amazingly, and what Charlotte did with the vocals definitely added to this song. Not to mention she is hot af. As for the song itself, what more is there to say? It blends light melody, atmosphere, and suspense, while mixing in a light but energetic bassline and tones reminiscent of festive latino beach parties. Just incredible, Varien definitely knows how to blend different musical elements into great things, much less make them UNIQUE. Without a doubt, my favorite release of this LP. I almost love it as much as Aether and Light. EDIT: I honestly like it more than Aether and Light now. It keeps getting better and better. Amazing.
I'm loving the uniqueness Varien brings to the electronic game. This melody is a fusion between Spanish and the accordion sounds like Russian folk music haha, which reminds me of my childhood. Awesome stuff Varien!
I don't honestly know why people have been sleeping on this song for years now, I think it's really unique and has that fascinating idea behind it!!!! I like the jungle/tribal theme behind it too 💚💚💚💚 Genre: Trap Score: 92/100

It's really been 5 years? I've been coming back to it over the years. It's a masterpiece.
7 years now..
8 years now...
Varien's "The Ancient & Arcane" LP out now! What is your favourite track?
I shall say this one! It's spectacular!
👍🏻
Monstercat Kamisama
Wow this track is really hypnotique isnt it?
Damn, don't make me pick just one, I love the whole lp
The cool thing with Varien's music is that the more you listen his music, the more you notice the little details and the more you enjoy the experience of listening to Variens music.

I love that in this song he added the Valkyrie rift and melody
You can hear in the 4:15 in spanish: "En la muerte sufro, pero este sentimiento me hace sentir viva". Whose translation is: "In the death I suffer, but this feeling makes me feel alive".
***** Thanks! But now that I listen to it again... Think it's "sufrimiento" - "suffering" instead of "sentimiento" - "feeling".
THE BLUE CONDOR Pero este sufrimiento* not sentimiento.
oh wow. I thought it was French xD
alguno que le guste el electronic :v ?
clavicus vile Si estamos aquí será por algo.
Chanting starts to overcome my mind
whispering, begging me to find
(whispering)
A clear answer, undefined
(An answer undefined)
An unexplained desire to run to you
A demand, a hunger I wont lose
(A hunger I wont lose)
An enticing yearning for you
For you
So show me, the nights I dream about
Enchant me, let my illusions out
Calling out to me through tainted eyes
Consuming every power in sight
(Consuming every power)
A presence, a being I ignite
I ignite
So show me, the nights I dream about
Enchant me, let my illusions out
En amarte sufro (In love I suffer)
Pero este sufrimiento me hace sentir viva(But this suffering makes me feel alive)
that bassline kicking in the right side of my headphones is eargasmic.
thank you Varien
Definitely my favorite LP!
MonsterLyrics What does LP stand for?
Vipestarᴴᴰ long play
Vipestarᴴᴰ Ep = Extanded play is pretty easy to explain: It is basically something between a single and an album.
And LP = Long play/ing is a little harder to define. It is basically just a cooler name for an album, that some DJ's and producers love to use xD
o0o TheOneAndOnlyVr3 o0o i think an EP is a selection of 3 to 5 songs OR is under 30 minutes and an LP has at least 8 songs or is at least 40 minutes
MonsterLyrics No offense but I feel like you need to listen to more music albums, Daft Punk - Discovery, Owl City - Ocean Eyes, Jamie XX, sorry but you should expand your horizons a little more.
I don't know why... but I think Varien and Stephen Walking should collaborate.
Inb4 Valkyrie 3: Alien Madness (feat. Stephen Walking)
Trapsistion This may be the worst track that would ever be released on Monstercat, or the best thing the humanity has ever heard.
Trapsistion You know what Varien needs? Banjo. Also dadrock + rockstep = dadrockstep?
Varien is the King of Orchestral
Stephen Walking is the King of Randomness
Varien and Stephen walking - Alien Theatre
XxKholinxX somehow, i can see that happening. the 2 monstercat artists from the beginning collaborating.
If Varien's good at anything, it's producing. Amazing every time.
Another thing being picking the perfect vocalists for what he's going for...perfectly fitting every time.
Varien is really varyin' with his tracks lately.
It was funny.
You know it was funny.
:(
All the songs in this LP is worth listening to.
All my hats off to you Varien.
This LP is absolutely beautiful, Varien outdid himself. This is why he is my favorite artist in Monstercat
*Claps with tears in his eyes*
The reason why I love this community so much is because there's never hate on monstercat, and it's the best music channel at the same time :D
Have you read the comments? Many are not happy about monstercats recent releases. It's been pretty shitty imo.
They always are supportive, but the community hasn't been liking the recent flood of Futute Bass.
The Ancient & Arcane is the best album I've ever heard! Incredible job Varien :)
GAMEazan Really? You need to listen to some more music, dont get me wrong this is good but there are just better out there, Daft Punk - Discovery, Owl City - Ocean Eyes, Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon, Radiohead - Kid A, sorry but you need to expand your horizons...
LP*
JumpingInTheVoid Maybe he does know those albums you mentioned but he still prefers Varien's. Opinions man, everyone's got their own.
Niko
I know I know, xD but I just get this terrible feeling that makes me want to rage, maybe this is how wars start.. :P
GAMEazan I think there are a lot better albums, Porter Robinson - Worlds, Madeon - Adventure, Glitch Mob - Drink The Sea, and even Haywyre - Two Fold
Thank you Varien for one of the best albums of 2015. A complete masterpiece
Varien has improved so much lately, loving the new tracks! This LP is great
I love Varien's style
Best album on Monstercat since Two Fold! Heheheh
Imo Ghost Spores just tops this. But seriously epic album Varien. Lived up to the hype. :D
***** You fucker. Lol
LazarJ Are you fucking joking?
LazarJ Lel, rather Varien needs to teach music theory to whole Monstercat. Not that the artists are bad right now, but to make them even better :D
James Cheeks Nope.
LazarJ yes, yes it does. Trivecta will have the best track on there and I haven't even heard a sample yet.
Its great to see Varien back. Always been one of my favorites!
1:35 Dayum just love this part!
His whole album is so beautiful.
LP*
Chromegloss An LP's an album..
For those wondering, the words at the end mean: When I love you I suffer, but this suffering makes me feel alive. :)
Great song btw! Hope you make it to #1, Varien!
Album of the year. The mixture of modern electronic music and other styles of music is perfect, the variety of instruments, the vocalists... Everything is perfectly put together, big props to Varien!
Varien has got to be the best Mcat artist for song immersion. Brilliant track once again Varien, I hope more like this is to come in the future!
This whole LP is gold. Thank you for crafting this masterpiece, Varien.
Also, hyped for kasbo on friday!
I hope Kasbo's new song will be just as good as Kaleidoscope :')
I'm not the only one right :s
Piloco Agreed!
It'll be amazing again
Piloco The preview on his instagram is amazing :D
Piloco Based on the preview, its going to be amazing :D
visible all the waaay
Kamisama for me is going straight for track of the year.i know there are still so many things to come,but that song is SO GOOD
It's nice to be early! This song and Supercell were my favorites out of this LP, but I acknowledge the raw talent put into the entire LP. Very well done!
HORY SHEET! KASBO IS BACK!!!! :D
CrashBoxNat MY BODY IS READY
LazerDemon Your body is ready for hory sheets?
Again.
CrashBoxNat I like whores with sheets so now I'm hyped for Kasbo.
Who cares?! Varien has an above level LP out!!!!!!!
This is definitely without a doubt one of my all time favourite songs released! I love how different it is. They was the bass has a pulsating beat and Charlotte Haining creates a majestic and beautiful scene with her singing. On top of that, the Accordion and Mandolin create a European and Mediterranean feel and it makes the song so complete.
Best song right out of this LP, hands down. Fantastic work, hard to stop listening to this one.
This is beautiful.
Thank you Varien.
I only got to listen to one song tonight. I'm so glad it was this one. Varien is a genius!
This song is incredible. This is my new song to listen to when I need to calm down.
HOLY SHIT THIS SONG IS THE BEST OF THE ALBUM (TH-cam releases, not the rest. Ghost Spores takes that cake)!!!! Varien was already my favorite artist, but not he has just become untouchable! Whether it is Haywyre, Coyote Kisses, or any other artist, Varien can top them all! What amazes me the most is that he does all of his songs in less than 10 hours.

No matter what he does, I doubt he can do bad at it (he even made an amazing Big Room House song)!
Ayyy!! Kasbo is back! I won't judge it on that preview, but I am hoping it sounds better than it!
That one guy... i wouldnt say its the best but its certainly better than all the future bass
Wow that last sentence in Spanish ends a legendary song, I love you Varien, you never dissapoint me
Absolutely mesmerizing Varien. You've outdone yourself on this LP.
The best EP released on Monstercat ever. This song is so amazing, sounds like a mix of Seduce and Aether & Light. And Kasbo is back! It's been a long time, and he's the one that made me love Future Bass! Can't wait for Friday!
Also am I the only one who loves Transmissions from Lemuria?
The drop is sick!
Varien's new song is absolutely
mesmerizing
Variens music is soo chill.....
I love it ❤
Been awhile. I still listen/play this.
I feel like Charlotte Haining is underappreciated as hell on here. She's been on MC since 011. True, I don't particularly love her tones, but there is no denying that she is very talented and good at doing what she does with her voice. It's more of an acquired style of vocalization that I have yet to fully appreciate.

I almost love it as much as Aether and Light.
EDIT: I honestly like it more than Aether and Light now. It keeps getting better and better. Amazing.
Technical and deep, I love this so much. Varien is doing great work
Varien never disapoints! Great track as always!
Stephen Walking, Tristam, and Tut Tut Child will always be classic artists.
Varien...i like that you are not afraid, keep the work going! Thx Monstercat also!
Ever since i found out about this guy,I loved every song he made. From an asian/middleast background, the mysticism is real in Varien.
Seems like Varien enjoys creating ancient music. I like it 😊
YAAASSSSSS KASBO IS BACK WOOOO!!!!!! Varien this was a beautiful track. This entire lp was amazing. Great job Varien
Now THIS is the varien I know and love!
I'm loving the uniqueness Varien brings to the electronic game. This melody is a fusion between Spanish and the accordion sounds like Russian folk music haha, which reminds me of my childhood. Awesome stuff Varien!
Such a beautiful song. Great LP Varien!
If all the artists of Monstercat did a collab, it would be great, imo.
A song that's very Hypnotique!
Seriously.
It's a bit nostalgic, reminds me of older songs, and a somewhat traditional feel.
Patryk Rogut I just know it. You are going to make a pun about Again by Kasbo.
I have my eye on you.
HA! I would love to see people try to make a pun out of this song haha!
Also Kasbo for Friday? I thought he left... Guess I was wrong.
this song really hypnotised me it left me w'haining'
XxKholinxX The chords of this song is so... hypnotique, would you not agree?
Varie hypnotic and varien spiring song
Bleak Mist Thats a bit of a stretch dont ya think?
I wouldn't make a pun, but they are just so hypnotic.
You can tell varien puts serious work and emotion into his tracks.
Damn, Varien. You've outdone yourself again.
Varien absolutely kills it with this LP ! \o/
this song creates an entire atmosphere for my mind
I don't honestly know why people have been sleeping on this song for years now, I think it's really unique and has that fascinating idea behind it!!!! I like the jungle/tribal theme behind it too 💚💚💚💚
Genre: Trap
Score: 92/100
Love the flamenco guitar in this song!
damn I'm early to the party
Yasuo the Unforgiven there is/was a party? where, when?
Yasuo the Unforgiven You speak as clicking on a video is a rite of passage, or an achievement.
Lovin' Varien's new style.
I can't get enough of monstercat o_o
Did not expect that drop ! Amazing
When I saw the next color I thiught 'ugh >.< more Future Bass.' But then saw the name, Kasbo, and I thought 'for once, I'm hyped for Future Bass.
All the songs I've heard from Varien's new album have been so catchy! They mix so many styles and it's great!
Im so glad Varien got Miyoki to do some vocal bits for him. Her voice is so good!
Such an awesome LP! Every track gives me goosebumps
DON'T LOOK DOWN.
damn you're a fucking legend
Yay!!! Gotta love this song!!
Omfggg Kasbo ishhh back! :D hype hypeeee~!
One if the best songs on monstercat in my opinion
oh my... this is just perfect and beautiful.
So good.
+Erza Scarlet oh, yes
this is like one of my favorite songs on the monstercat label!
All of varien's songs have a different cultural vibe, which is just so cool imo

Such a masterpiece, didn't expect less from Varien
Woah. This song is rad and chill af.
I love Varien's stuff... Listening to this on my Razer Kraken Pro's and 1:17 the side of my face vibrates :)
This and Transmissions From Lemuria are the best on the LP imo.
What about ghost spores?
Omfg. I've been waiting so long for Kasbo!
The last sentece in spanish ends a legendary song
Goated song
My only wish is that we got a physical release of this. I could make my own for personal use, but it wouldn't be as special.
A beautiful job. Bravo and brava to everyone who worked on this.
so much great
