Since his debut on Larmes in 2019, he has steadily carved out his place, releasing his first EP Phobophobia and sharing stages with Ascendant Vierge, as well as performing at the Main Square Festival. More recently, he has appeared alongside Dave Clarke, Amber Broos and Marhu at Rockerill. Alongside his releases, Transgression curates Shockwave, a series of events across Lille, and joined Bizarre Love Triangle at Silencio in 2025.

Hi!
An update about my cancer and healthcare. First of all I’m very thankful for all the help and support you’ve given me since this all started. Right now I need you all a lot, as this and the next week will be extremely costful. If you have the possibility any donation is welcome, big or small. All links can be found in our profile as usual. 🙏
As for the cancer surgery I had in my colorectal area in January, it has been successful so far, and I’m healing from that surgery now. Heart surgery coming up very soon! 🏥
There are a lot of good things happening, but they are also all extremely traumatic experiences and all happen in a very fast pace, I can’t deny that. It’s for sure not time to celebrate yet. I’m now hoping for your help to get through this part too, because without you it’s not possible.❤️
All the best
Peter
Founder of @substantivtechno
