Compiled and produced by the PRODUCERS (Fernando Fadigas and Miguel Sá), this CD represents the debut of VARIZ, a label concerned with the development of electronic music projects made today, living tomorrow.

PRESS:

"Judging by this first compilation, Variz is a meeting point for practitioners of uncanny, contaminated, introspective, stuck up, armoured, mysterious electronics. (...) exercises in style apart, the uncommon consistence of these 22 projects augurs a very interesting future." - Jorge Manuel Lopes in Blitz

"... a domestic collection of electronic/experimental tracks developed with the ease and complexity which modern machines permit... Always designed with conceptual and visually appealing covers, with artists developed by contemporary art artists. The first by Alexandre Estrela, one of the best-known visual artists of this generation. This project augurs a good future and deserves all the praise for the risk and quality taken right from the start." - in Número Magazine

"…it's a thankless task to hierarchize the diversity of proposals in the "electrodomestic" compilation of Variz. For now, it's important to emphasize the availability and amount of projects that answered to the challenge proposed by the label. There is new wave bubbling". - Fernando Magalhães in Y, Público

"... we may say, that a healthy balance exists between the projects using experimentation so serious that exercise it all the time, and others performing in universes more mainstream. In this manner, the works from C'n'N, Twokindermen, Esperanto and Expander are particularly promising." - Isilda Sanches in DNMais, Diário de Notícias
