Emerging from the darker corners of techno and ritualistic electronic music, Ullrson’s remix of DVARA’s “Hafta As” is less of a club track and more of a full-blown pagan ceremony dragged into a warehouse rave at 3 a.m. Clocking in at over seven minutes, “Hafta As (Ullrson Remix)” throws listeners headfirst into a hypnotic collision of Viking techno, industrial pulse, and ancient Eurasian mysticism. Inspired by Scythian ritual chants and warrior mythology, the track feels cinematic without losing its raw dancefloor bite.
The opening moments simmer with tension as hard-hitting beats march in beneath deep, guttural throat vocals that sound almost ancestral, like echoes from another age reverberating through steel tunnels. Then, out of nowhere, a piercing higher chant slices through the haze, hypnotic and ceremonial, intertwining with the lower vocal drones in a sacred and sinister way. Before long, the percussion starts to pile up—clinking metallic textures, buzzing rhythmic layers, rustling shamanic drums—and the whole thing begins to snowball into something absolutely colossal.
Midway through, Ullrson really puts the pedal to the metal. The techno foundation becomes more aggressive, with pounding kicks and industrial metallic drones grinding beneath glistening percussive clashes. Yet despite all its brute force, the remix never loses its spiritual atmosphere. The use of instruments like tagelharpa, jaw harp, bronze lur, and nyckelharpa gives the track an earthy, ritualistic soul.
By the final stretch, the chanting returns over pulsating high-frequency percussion and relentless beats, creating a tunnel-vision trance that’s impossible to shake off. “Hafta As (Ullrson Remix)” doesn’t just flirt with atmosphere—it practically lives and breathes inside it. A thunderous, immersive piece of ceremonial techno, this track could soundtrack both a battlefield and a packed underground rave without missing a beat.
