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.

ANIMA’s Third Adventure - ‘ORBIT’ is inspired by outer space, star dust and circular rhythms. The trajectory of moons around planets, planets around suns. Creating an eternal cycle. An ethereal dance. Like molecules and atoms spinning endlessly the same way. Beautiful bleeps, polyrhythms, and polymeters were encouraged and delicately disguised within the orbital nature of each track in this galactic release.

VARIA PREMIERE: More Influenza - Drama [KSRDGTL029]

VARIA is pleased to present the next episode in its podcast series, featuring Dotdat.

Dotdat is a standout figure in the Indian techno scene, blending his deep roots in Indian classical music with a modern techno sensibility. A trained Tabla player and drummer, his musical foundation brings a distinctive rhythmic complexity to both his productions and DJ sets.

Based in Goa, since 2020, the Pune-born artist has quickly become one of India’s top techno acts, with releases on iconic labels like Ben Sims' Symbolism, Truncate and a range of other influential labels such as KSR, Knowledge Imprint & BLACKAXON.

His collaboration with Truncate has further solidified his position within the global techno community, while his 2024 releases on labels like Circuit Breaker, Asymetrik, and Qilla Records have continued to build his reputation both in India and abroad.

Receiving consistent support from techno heavyweights like DVS1, Freddy K, Richie Hawtin, Ben Sims and DJ Stingray to name a few, Dotdat’s music is clearly resonating with the industry’s leading figures. His performances at major global venues like ADE, Womb, Sonar, Watergate and prominent festivals such as Magnetic Fields and VH1 Supersonic in India only emphasize his growing presence within the scene.

As 2025 unfolds, Dotdat is set to release new music on Olivia Mendez's DIG Curated label, with more exciting projects lined up. His constant evolution and commitment to pushing boundaries make him a central figure in the Indian techno scene, and one of the most exciting talents to watch in the coming years.

This episode continues VARIA’s mission: championing considered electronic expression and lasting artistry.

Uun, “Vessel” EP [TMPL003]
Produces by Uun
Mastering by JoeFarr
Artwork by Auspex
Distribution by TripleVision
Release Date: Nov 14 2025

1. Xenon
2. The Iconoclast
3. Red Pyramid
4. The Sycophant


Templum welcomes Kansas City’s Uun to the roster. Known for what
Hardwax has dubbed “straight ahead techno juggernauts,” he takes it to
the next level here, infusing all four of the selections on this
record with futuristic punctuation and deep, alien texture.

The EP opens with “Xenon,” a hurtling percussive rocket ship through
the atmosphere of a techno Tatooine, greeted by the robotic chorus
“Welcome To Xenon,” oozing with pure sci-fi drama.

Next, he ushers in “The Iconocast”—cavernous, pulsating atmospheres
worming and snaking around a broken beat kick and sizzling hats.

“Red Pyramid” follows, an algebraic sequence conjuring visions of an
alien phalanx descending, a hypnotic and mind-bending ride for the
dance floor.

The droning and atmospheric “The Sycophant” closes things out, a ghost
ship tunneling through deep space, with a rolling and rattling
rhythmic engine.
