AKA, Jon Stanley has been at the forefront of drum and bass for over a decade. Known for devotion to his decks, pinpoint accuracy in the mix and his ability to construct dance floor anthems has seen Cyantific DJ around the globe.

In 2006, Cyantific released his debut album, 'Ghetto Blaster' on Hospital Records, and went onto win the BBC 1Xtra Best Newcomer DJ award in 2007. Releases followed on legendary labels like Critical and Ram.

In 2010, CYN Music was established where his skills both as a talent selector and solo producer shone through.

In December 2014, Cyantific signed exclusively with Viper Recordings, and made his debut with 'Bring You Love', followed by his #1 single 'High Water Mark', alongside his remix of Brookes Brothers - 'Anthem' which was selected on BBC 1Xtra's "A" playlist. In addition to that, he has done official remixes for two UK Top 10 hits with Mike Mago & Dragonette's 'Outlines' & Dr Kucho! & Gregor Salt's 'Cant Stop Playing' (Makes Me High).

His single 'Colour in the Shadows' feat Benji was premiered on BBC 1Xtra with MistaJam and was a 2015 Summer Anthem with the B-side dance floor roller 'No More Heroes' smashing the Beatport charts once again.

After coming back from a South Africa headline tour and a North America NYE mini tour in conjunction with Insomniac and fellow Viper artists InsideInfo and Mob Tactics, he released his first track of 2016 'Outatime', which immediately went to the number one spot on Beatport.

Mob Tactics seem to be a name on people's lips more and more of late. Already renowned for their own inimitable style of techy - yet very funky, dance-floor orientated drum & bass, the duo appear to be going from strength-to-strength with each release. Their tunes are already firm staples in the sets of Andy C, Friction, DJ Hype & Audio, to name but a few, and the demand for them on the DJ circuit is rapidly gaining momentum. Heavily influenced by the likes of Ed Rush & Optical, Bad Company, Konflict and Total Science, you can always guarantee a Mob Tactics release or DJ set will be nothing short of high octane.

Luke and Mark first met in 2009, when Luke, who was running the music department at Chemical Records, signed some of Mark's tunes to their in-house imprint: RUN DNB. After instantly hitting it off and realising their musical tastes were so similar, the two decided to hit the studio in early 2010 and subsequently released their first single 'Gunjack / Stick Up Kid' a few months later on Traffic Music. Mob Tactics was born.

Fast forward a few years and the boys were in full swing. In 2013, Playaz Recordings snapped up 'Crazy Hype' featuring Ragga legend, Elephant Man. Their remix of Cause4Concern's early 2000 anthem: 'Soul' went on to feature in the sets of just about every man and his dog! Prolix snatched up 'Grotbags' for his Trendkill imprint, and the legend that is Andy C signed up 'Wolf Trap' exclusively for the sixth instalment of his hugely successful Nightlife compilations.

In 2014, the duo showed no sign of slowing things down. With their 'Wasted' EP release on Cause4Concern Recordings, their single 'Joe Mangle' for Ram, and with a DJ schedule that shaped up rather nicely, things went fast for Mob Tactics.

2015 proved to be their biggest year to date as they signed exclusively to Futurebound's Viper Recordings with their debut single 'Neon God'. Mob Tactics ended the year with the appropriately titled 'Rave Weapon' which was a NYE anthem with support from Andy C, Pendulum, Matrix & Futurebound, TC, DJ Hype and many more.

Ekko & Sidetrack are brothers, Jeff and Jono Hansen. Raised in Perth, Australia, learning instruments and listening to their parents varied music collection lead these two into music production in 2008. Armed with an old version of Ableton and no idea what the hell a VST was they cut their teeth on a pair of PC speakers and a laptop.

Their continued dedication was rewarded with a feature on the Viper Recordings Summer Slammers LP with 'Contention'. In 2015 they teamed up with fellow Perth producer Gran Calavera to produce 'Snowden' which was released as part of Viper's revered Headroom Series.

As well as producing, the duo has supported some of the biggest names in Drum and Bass with shows across Australia including: Friction, Pendulum, ShockOne, Wilkinson, Sigma, Matrix & Futurebound, Brookes Brothers and Netsky.

With the foundations set, now is the time to properly introduce these guys to the world with their debut release 'Alone Without You / AMPM" on Viper Recordings.
