Varispeed proudly represents one of the most dynamic hardcore duos the scene has ever seen: Undead Roniin, the live techno collaboration between early UK breakcore and hardcore veterans Scheme Boy and The Teknoist.
Combining Scheme Boy’s meticulous layering in Ableton with The Teknoist’s precise turntablism via Traktor Scratch, they deliver a live show that is greater than the sum of its parts. Staying true to the spirit that gave birth to Ninja Columbo Records, the duo bends genres and pushes boundaries, creating sets that are technical, energetic, and effortlessly musical.
Their initial releases under the Undead Roniin name — No Known Cure on The Teknoist’s Tank Alligator album (Industrial Strength) and Mutilated Core (Ninja Columbo 10) — showcased their signature fusion of hardcore, breakcore, and IDM aesthetics.
Since then, Undead Roniin have solidified their reputation with headline slots at major festivals, including Bang Face 2019 and Balter 2025, leaving audiences in awe with high-energy, finely crafted performances. This duo continues to push both sonic content and live delivery, making them an essential act for any serious underground rave.
