Contempo is thrilled to unveil "The Collective VA" a new compilation that brings together a dynamic group of artists, each contributing their unique sound to this diverse collection, by blending a spectrum of techno styles into one cohesive experience.
 
Each track highlights the signature style of its creator, while collectively pushing the boundaries of the techno genre. This compilation is a testament to the innovative spirit of Luigi Madonna's imprint, Contempo, and a must-listen for enthusiasts looking to experience the cutting edge of contemporary techno.

"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.

Synergie is a German collective that has a keen ear and supporter of talents of the underground. Not only a record label, but an event series that has parties around their homeland, they have welcomend DJs such as TWR72, Bailey Ibbs, Egotot, and more.

On the latest complation release 'SYVA004 Part A' it was Japan-based Korean, Jiho, that caught our attention. His tracks have already landed on Joton's Newrhythmic, Linear System's Modern Minimal, Diffuse Reality, and BCCO, as well as being at the wheel of Subhills imprint.

For this DT:Premiere we selected the track "Thinking You" with a hypnotic and spaced-out style. Devilish details of the tubular lead combine with dancing textures, swirling around this cerebral groove that is a tight, pleasurable cut with power and grace.
