Slaloming between stations since early 2022, traverse is the Amsterdam-based radio series and music platform pushing a hypnotising collage of elastic bass and pulsating rhythms that slide through genre descriptions with abandon.

Now expanding into a label and experimental home for producers to explore their own versatility, traverse presents its debut compilation: traversée. An eight-track VA of moods and grooves that skips between styles and bpms through a collection of atmospheric pieces designed directly for the dancefloor.

Encouraging artists to explore creative avenues that they would have otherwise passed by, traverse is a space to share new ideas and personal reflections that aren’t tied to any one convention or formula.

Populated by producers from all corners of the world, from Brazil to Japan via Mexico and the Czech Republic, traversée 001 is a unifying body of work that truly reflects the ethos behind Lolo Batten’s traverse platform.

Beatrice M.: "Caught between a passion for mental 170 halftime tribe sounds and 140 progressive dubstep-techno hybrids, I often produce a track at 140 bpm and then speed up the bpm at the last minute to see how it sounds. This is what happened with “TriForce”. Another key to my productions is the snare on the third beat, and the fact that I almost always sample scenes from the longest ongoing British TV series Doctor Who, the voices bring me comfort and reming me of the excitement of watching episodes during my teenage years."

Following our launch, VARIA presents the next chapter: a deep, brooding piece from @CVNSUMED. 

Download the free MP3 now; high-fidelity files are available via the artist's Bandcamp : https://cvnsumed.bandcamp.com/track/kur-nkatto

CVNSUMED shared : "I've been hard at work behind the scenes — selling and buying gear, exploring new techniques, and broadening my musical horizons. After a lot of experimentation, I'm happy to say I feel like I'm entering a new chapter... To crystallize this change in mindset, I've also decided to stop performing with the mask. I'm proud to launch this new phase with Berlin-based platform VARIA, which is welcoming me into their track series."

We're thrilled to feature CVNSUMED, a techno project rooted in Paris experimentation since 2015. Renowned for precise sound design, storytelling, intensity, and a refined, minimalist edge. With releases on labels like 47, ARTS, RAW, and Demian Records, and supported by respected artists, CVNSUMED has built a solid reputation.

The new track offers a meticulously crafted sonic environment where tension meets subtlety through intricate textures and restrained energy.

VARIA: Enduring electronic soundscapes for discerning dancefloors. Prioritising deep, nuanced rhythms and lasting artistry, championing only the most refined expressions.

as powerfully with his listeners. From the bustling streets of Paris to the vast expanses
of Scandinavia, the artist's introspective journey finds its culmination.
In a world where artistic influences are as diverse as the experiences that shape them,
Blaxad stands as a harmonious fusion of his passion for Berlin's techno scene and
the profound impact of his sojour. Through his music, listeners are invited to embark
on a transformative voyage that transcends borders and genres, capturing the
essence of his unique narrative and artistic evolution.

BLURCAST 53 | BLAXAD

Une plongée dans des sonorités hypnotiques et organique, cet ensemble explore les confins de la conscience, entre matière, vide et silence.
Si un tardigrade pouvait écouter de la musique là où seul le rythme subsiste, ce serait probablement ça.
