Sumner is a techno producer and DJ hailing from New York. With a career spanning over a decade, Sumner has established themselves as an influential figure in the electronic music scene. In 2004, they joined Regis' Sandwell District collective, further solidifying their place among the industry's elite.

Inspired by artists such as Planetary Assault Systems, Sleeparchive, and Silent Servant, Sumner's sound is characterized by its hypnotic rhythms and pulsating beats. Their music seamlessly blends elements of techno and industrial sounds to create a unique sonic experience that captivates audiences worldwide.

With collaborations alongside renowned artists like Peter Van Hoesen, Donato Dozzy, and Ancient Methods under their belt, Sumner continues to push boundaries and redefine the genre. Their tracks have garnered support from esteemed DJs including Jonas Kopp, Shifted, and James Ruskin.

Seven years after its inception, Eaux is proud to announce the first solo release by an artist other than Rrose. As a member of the Sandwell District collective, David Sumner aka Function was instrumental in cultivating the Rrose project. After releasing the first three EPs and album by Rrose between 2012 and 2013, Sandwell District terminated their mission abruptly, prompting Rrose to start a new label (Eaux) for solo projects and collaborations. This EP brings history full circle. Following closely on the heels of Function's mammoth 3LP/17 track album "Existenz" for Tresor Records, this EP takes similar themes as a departure point, but moves into more mysterious, yet also heavily dancefloor-focused terrain. "Binaural" encapsulates the timeless essence of the Function sound with menacing bleeps, cavernous stabs, and a sense that it could go on forever without losing its grip on the listener. "Desire and Memory" is a broken beat track drenched in modulated drones that feels like an infinite spiral, moving simultaneously forward and backward in time. Function's early Sandwell District records defined the "hypnotic" techno sound that has influenced countless artists (including Rrose), and this release plants those roots in new, fertile ground.
