Ullrson unveils his first Viking Techno remix release of 2026 with a monumental reinterpretation
of DVARA’s “Hafta As.” Rooted in the dead Scythian language and inspired by shamanic rituals
honouring the seven gods, the remix transforms DVARA’s sacred source material into a
thunderous ceremonial techno journey where ancient Eurasian mysticism meets Norse battle
energy.
Built around the haunting invocation “Hafta as koruk raz” — “Seven gods guide us by the
star!”, the release channels images of sacred stones, sky-bound prayer, and the chief shaman
lifting his hands into the void:
“Long, long stand the sacred stones,
Swift, swift fly the prayers to the sky,
The chief-shaman lifts his hands to the void…”
Through Ullrson’s lens, these ritual phrases become the emotional core of a peak-time Viking
Techno weapon designed for both deep spiritual immersion and devastating ceremonial
dancefloor impact.
“I wanted the remix to feel like an ancient ritual reborn for the modern ceremonial dancefloor.
Keeping DVARA’s incredible throat vocals, beautiful female lead-vocal, tagelharpa, gusle and
shamanic percussion intact, I built around them with nyckelharpa, elderwood flute, bronze lur,
anvil strikes, war horn textures and a much heavier techno foundation to create something that
feels both sacred and devastating on the dancefloor.” — Ullrson
One of the most compelling threads running through the remix is its symbolic connection
between Scythian and Norse archery cultures. The Scythians were legendary horse archers
whose mastery of the bow defined their mythic status across the ancient world. Ullrson’s own
identity draws from Ullr, the Norse god of archery, whose influence also echoes through Anglo-
Saxon mythic heritage. In this remix, those great cultures converge into a single sonic ritual — a
work of art dedicated to the memory of ancestral gods and warrior traditions.
Sonically, the release is a vast hybrid of ancient instrumentation and peak-time techno force.
Ullrson weaves elements from DVARA’s original composition — bass, tagelharpa, gusle, inuk,
jaw harp, cello, shamanic percussion, Mahler hammer, throat singing, female ritual vocals, and
Inuit throat textures — into a thunderous modern framework. Added layers of powerful kick
drums, nyckelharpa, elderwood flute, melancholic synths, atmospheric pads, bronze lur, anvil
strikes, chakapa, hats, shakers, rides, extra jaw harp textures, vocal horn, and immersive FX
design create a sound world that feels equally at home in ancient ceremony and dark warehouse
techno settings.
The result is a truly unique release where Scythian shamanic ritualism and Viking Techno collide,
carrying listeners through sacred invocation, warrior trance, and mythic transcendence.

Drawing inspiration from Ullr, the enigmatic Norse god associated with archery, oaths, and
duelling, Ullrson originates from Norwich, East Anglia—an area replete with rich pagan history
and folklore. The moniker pays homage to the region’s storied past, from the Angles settling in
East Anglia – a land ruled by the Wuffingas “The Kin of the Wolf” with links to the epic poem
Beowulf, the “Great Heathen Army” and Danish Viking rule to the legendary Queen Boudicca’s
resistance against Roman oppression.
A respected name in UK techno, Nick Bowman has spent sixteen years at the helm of The Future
