Varg, the monicker of Swedish techno producer Jonas Rönnberg, is known for his unique sound and captivating performances. With a name that translates to "wolf" in Swedish, Varg's music embodies strength and power. 

 In 2019, he made headlines when he announced that he would be changing his alias to *a7545530* due to a cease and desist from German metal band *Varg*. Despite this setback, Varg continues to push boundaries and create innovative techno tracks that resonate with fans around the world. 

 Drawing inspiration from various genres such as black metal and folk music, Varg has carved out a niche for himself in the electronic music scene. His distinct blend of atmospheric melodies and pulsating beats sets him apart from other artists in the industry. If you enjoy artists like Finsterforst, Thrudvangar, or Obscurity, then Varg's music is sure to captivate your ears.

After "Star Alliance"'s initial release as a limited six tape-box set late last year, it was apparent that there was a need for a reissue, which now comes in the form of this remastered double LP set with a selection of the best work and even a few new tracks added. The story is the same but the narrative has been sharpened. Over the last few years, Varg has manifested himself, not only as one of the most productive new voices in European electronic and techno music - with countless releases and projects - but also as one of the most interesting of the lot. Completely free from any concern of genre notions towards his music, he moves freely between fields and does this in such a fluent way that it is hard to think of anyone that can match him. With the music that makes up "Star Alliance", it is clearer than ever before that Varg - while being an extremely talented techno producer, at the same time is much more than that. "Star Alliance" has tracks of spacious acid standing next to heavy industrial rhythms, piercing abstract modular synth work, beautiful soundscapes, piano pieces and field recordings. And while the techniques, qualities and styles differ with almost every track, they stand perfectly together and shape a beautiful narrative.
