Immersed in electronic music since 2005, CV1 has developed a sound rooted in raw and expressive Techno, drawing inspiration from the energy and character of the 90s and 2000s while bringing those influences into a contemporary context. His approach is driven by a strong sense of groove, atmosphere, and movement, combining old-school elements with modern textures without being tied to any particular trend. Techno remains at the core of CV1’s musical identity, with a sound that balances raw energy, hypnotic elements, powerful grooves, and a strong old-school character. At times, influences from other genres find their way into his productions, adding contrast and depth while contributing to the overall narrative of his music. His productions have found a home on respected labels including Planet Rhythm, Life In Patterns, Suara, and others, establishing a growing presence within the international underground Techno scene. With Rise of the Machines, CV1 makes his debut on Illegal Alien Records with a focused collection of toolish Techno built for the dancefloor. Driving synth lines, rolling rhythms, and a hypnotic feeling run throughout the EP, creating a raw and functional energy while leaving room for atmosphere and tension. Across its tracks, Rise of the Machines explores different shades of groove, pressure, and repetition, combining the spirit of classic Techno with a contemporary production aesthetic. The result is a stripped-back yet immersive release, where powerful rhythmic foundations and driving synth work come together to create a hypnotic journey from beginning to end. Rise of the Machines is a direct statement from an artist with a clear vision – raw, hypnotic Techno with a strong old-school spirit, made for the dancefloor while keeping the mind engaged. www.illegalalienrecords.com
