VARIOUS — Volume 3 EP

Various – Volume 3 EP arrives on ValoVariou (catalogue VV003) as a 12-inch vinyl that gathers four underground cuts under the umbrella of minimal house and tech house. The release, dated 25 September 2026, showcases a sleek, spaced-out aesthetic that feels tailor-made for the autumn season, according to the label’s own description. Within ValoVariou’s catalogue, Volume 3 EP follows the earlier “ValoVariou 002” (catalogue VALOVARIOU002, 2025), continuing the label’s habit of pairing seasoned producers with fresh voices. The current EP deepens that tradition, positioning itself as the third installment in a series that consistently delivers a curated blend of old-school sensibility and contemporary edge. Side A opens with “Twan Mulder – I Am Android”, a track that immediately sets a minimal framework, its title evoking a mechanistic precision that meshes well with the surrounding cuts. The second A-side entry, “Harry Robson – Unusual”, picks up the momentum, offering a subtle shift in tone that keeps the groove moving while preserving the EP’s overall sleek character. Flipping to side B, “Orbit – Furia” introduces a slightly darker hue, its name suggesting an intensified energy that contrasts yet complements the earlier selections. The record closes with “MASI – Planet In The Sky”, a final piece that lifts the mood into a more spacious realm, rounding off the four-track journey with a sense of atmospheric release. While the artists have no other releases listed on this label, the collaboration itself reflects ValoVariou’s curatorial chemistry, bringing together Twan Mulder, Harry Robson, Orbit and the Dutch duo MASI. Their combined output on this EP offers a snapshot of current minimal and tech house trends, where restrained grooves meet an expansive, autumnal vibe. For DJs, the record provides four distinct yet cohesive tools. “I Am Android” works well as a deep-start in a set, “Unusual” can serve as a bridge between tighter and more open moments, “Furia” supplies a darker peak, and “Planet In The Sky” offers a closing, atmospheric finish that can transition into late-night selections. Collectors will appreciate the seamless flow across the sides and the label’s reputation for quality curation. The release is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format expectations of both club-oriented DJs and vinyl enthusiasts who value the tactile experience of a well-sequenced EP.
