VGVA 1.0 – Various Artists

Album Notes

VGVA 1.0 is the first official catalog release from Vexed Grooves, marking the transition from a podcast-based platform into a fully operating label. Born from the atmosphere and conversations of the ENCODED ECHOES I Series, this compilation gathers a tower of artists who answered the same call: to build a shared space where sound becomes exchange, and distance becomes connection.

The release is shaped by a deep and introspective energy, subtly infused with rhythmic warmth and global accents. Artists from Buenos Aires, Tunis, Tokyo, Manchester, and beyond come together not to follow a single genre line, but to contribute personal perspectives to a collective narrative. Ten tracks form the core statement, each one a distinct voice in a wider dialogue. Closing the release is a Broken Fragment — an ambient piece by A-STS, circulating as an exclusive signal for now, later to reappear in a future compilation where it finds its full context.

VGVA 1.0 is more than a various artists compilation; it is a document of beginnings. It represents the first step of a growing catalog, shaped through trust, collaboration, and shared vision.
