Wahn is an electronic music producer based in Rennes, France, crafting immersive soundscapes where ambient textures, deep bass, and subtle rhythms collide.
His work is a cinematic exploration of sound—deeply introspective, physical, and hauntingly human.
The Drifted series stands as a defining phase in his work—a cross-border journey through rhythmless ambient and heavy sub-bass released across labels in France (After Affects), Bulgaria (Mahorka), Germany (Adventurous Music), and Japan (FORM@ RECORDS). The series has gained international recognition for its emotional weight and organic textures, evolving from deep shadows toward a more fragile, open light.
With the LP Echo Mist Light (Mahorka), Wahn pushes further into "foggy" dub-techno, a sound recently crowned as the #1 Best Electronic Music on Bandcamp Daily and championed by Kevin Richard Martin. Described as "sonically ultra-present" and "filmic," his music balances heavy sub-bass pressure with delicate, luminous piano notes.
Whether through his studio releases or his immersive Drifted — Live performance, Wahn creates suspended states where tension and quiet beauty coexist, resonating long after the final echoes fade.
