"The Collective VA Vol.1" is  showcasing tracks from Alessandro Grops, Fvndo, Vxlr, and SYM. Alessandro Grops evolved from minimal sounds to a distinct techno style, earning acclaim from industry leaders. Fvndo, who is no longer a stranger on Contempo's radar after his "Reasoning" EP, showcasing a unique sound that resonates deeply with techno enthusiasts. Andreas Wechsler, known by his stage name Vxlr, hails from Berlin and has carved a niche for himself in the techno scene with his innovative soundscapes and compelling productions. SYM, a Techno DJ and producer from Barcelona, blends heavy grooves with dark sequences and house influences, continually evolving his sound beyond the 90s styles that first inspired him.

Opening the VA is Alessandro Grops who delivers "Depulso," a track that combines driving beats with an immersive Dark atmospheric Sound that creates a captivating journey. Fvndo's "Stimulation" offers a rhythmic exploration with pulsating basslines and intricate synth work, designed to energize and engage. Vxlr's "Side Chick" features a darker, groove-oriented sound with deep, growling bass and hypnotic rhythms. Lastly, SYM's "Raw Vibes" lives up to its name with raw, unfiltered energy, fast and spontaneous rhythmic shifts, making it a standout for techno purists.
