Viper VIP has been responsible for some of the freshest Drum & Bass tunes the scene has to offer. Much more than a sub-label, the truly international imprint has quickly gained a reputation for showcasing fresh new talent from across the globe, with names luke Smooth, Metrik, Kove, Camo & Krooked and Raw Theory.
The next release on the label comes from the brand new talented Russian duo Cynematic. Taking their inspiration from Deep House, Funk and Hip Hop, Cynematic, aka Vladimir Vorobyev and Dmitriy Dadushin fed their early passion for Drum and Bass with tracks from DJ Dara, C4C as well as Kemal and Rob Data. The duo then began to DJ at local clubs – and soon found themselves producing their own tracks as well. After passing a demo to InsideInfo, who in turn sent it to Viper label boss Futurebound, they were immediately identified as producers of the future and were signed exclusively to the label.
Daytona
‘Daytona’ begins with an enticing, otherworldly introduction. After spliced amens and synths rack up the tension, the Russian duo transforms the track with a thick, full-fat bassline. Full of hard-hitting DnB funk, ‘Daytona’ chugs on while synths add a unique, retro vibe to proceedings. The perfect blend of dancefloor magic and epic soundscapes, all executed with precise production.
Space City
The flip side sees ‘Space City’ transports you to the desolation of space. After yet another expansive introduction, Cynematic continue to paint a rich sonic picture, with retro synths and pads all enhancing the vibe. Making the dancefloor wait, ‘Space City’ takes its time before kicking into an effortlessly smooth roller. Pulsing forward with a vintage bassline surrounded by ethereal, otherworldly synths, ‘Space City’ is another superb track by Cynematic – the perfect way to round off a stunning debut release on the label.
