Biography

Scion is the legendary collaboration between René Löwe (aka Vainqueur) and Peter Kuschnereit (aka Substance), two of Berlin's most influential figures in shaping the dub-techno sound that grew around the mythical Hard Wax record store and the Basic Channel/Chain Reaction universe.

As solo artists, both Löwe and Kuschnereit were pivotal in defining the deep, spacious, hypnotic style that connected techno with dub's weight and atmosphere. Together as Scion, they pushed this language even further: their work represents the bridge between Berlin's raw underground and a global legacy that continues to inspire new generations of experimental electronic musicians.

Their live performances are rare and highly revered – immersive journeys that combine precision, weight and emotional depth. At Mostra 2026, Scion bring decades of history and innovation to the present moment, affirming their place as living architects of a sound that is both timeless and future-facing.
