#Viper are proud to introduce something brand new in the world of drum & bass with the #FollowTheSun project. Born out of the adversity of 2020, #FollowTheSun reminds us of the global unity at the core of drum & bass, celebrating the artists integral to the scene’s values and strength. Kicking off with a 24 hour stream starting in New Zealand and following the sun across the globe to Australia, Japan, Europe, and North America.
Featuring over 30 DJ sets from integral artists including #Trei, #Matrix & #Futurebound, #DeltaHeavy, #Drumsound & #BasslineSmith, #DJEmpress, #TantrumDesire, #ReneLaVice, #MollieCollins, and many more, an interview with label boss #Futurebound and respected pioneer #Fabio, over 18 MCs and vocalists spitting bars about current events curated by #MissTrouble and including #RaggaTwins, #Pav4n (#ForeignBeggars), #ArmanniReign, #HarryShotta, a breakdown of the making of the ‘#Revolution’ music video, plus the unveiling of #Viper’s second ever sample pack. The stream alone contains 24 hours of diverse content you won’t find anywhere else.
Continuing the international celebrations, #Futurebound has also curated a compilation as part of the project, featuring 6 brand new exclusives from #ChangingFaces, #Loko, #Nuaura, #Playmax, #Pulsar & #OctoPi, plus a collection of classics from new and old faces including #Ekko & #Sidetrack, #JackMirror, #Dossa & #Locuzzed, #ShockOne, #Cyantific, #Metrik, #Madface, and many more.
The first of the exclusives comes from talented up-and-comer #ChangingFaces with his track ‘#Thunder’ ft the vocals of #LottieWoodward. Making his debut on the label in a big way, this poignant dancefloor record is both vibrant and powerful. Representing the darker sounds of drum & bass, #Loko returns to the label with the murky ‘#TheLight’, a politically charged record that is bold and brazen. Newcomer #Nuaura delivers a luscious liquid number that stands out for its raw, elegant soundscape sprinkled with a touch of something darker, while #Playmax adds a retro, synth heavy dancefloor number to the diverse catalogue. The penultimate exclusive comes from #Pulsar with ‘#Eclipse’, a cinematic ballad that perfectly represents the Viper sound, rounding off the exclusives is #OctoPi ft the vocal talents of #LadyTate with '#ThisSound' bringing a rolling vibe with an uplifting groove..
With a total of 25 tracks featured, the first ever #FollowTheSun compilation is set to make waves alongside #Viper’s first 24 hour DnB Marathon. Celebrating all aspects of the scene we so know and love, #FollowTheSun brings together the best DJs, MCs, producers, and more for a one-of-a-kind special. Add to that a fierce compilation and the launch of a new sample pack, there surely is no arguing that #Viper continues to find its strength in overcoming adversity and celebrating the diversity of our beloved scene.
