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.
