vitus' curse is a Berlin-based record label founded and curated by @notsomodest, offering genre-bending Techno and deeply curated experiences. Rooted in the spirit of Techno, the label transcends the ordinary, creating space where freedom, peace, and unity take center stage.

Inspired by St. Vitus, the patron of dancers and misfits, the name recalls a forgotten 15th-century ritual of release – once feared, now revered. What was once seen as a curse was, in truth, sacred ecstasy. A collective liberation through movement.

vitus' curse carries that spirit forward. A sanctuary for those who seek connection in the pulse of the night. Join the movement. Move without shame. Dance for eternity.
