A producer with a growing catalogue of club weapons, Viv follows up his recent ‘Let It Roll’ EP on V55 Records and builds on a standout 2024 that saw him appear on labels like Altra Moda, Diynamic, and Insomniac. Known for his seamless fusion of driving rhythms, deep grooves, and nostalgic nods to classic Rave music, he continues to define his own lane in the Tech House scene.

‘The Funk’ is a masterclass in groove, offering an intricate blend of pulsating basslines, crisp percussion, and hypnotic synths. The track’s infectious energy is fuelled by rolling low-end movement and tight, punchy drum programming, creating a driving force that feels both raw and refined. Rave-inspired elements add an extra edge, ensuring its place in peak-time club sets.

R3WIRE takes the track into deeper, harder-hitting territory with a remix that dials up the intensity. By emphasising rolling percussion and deep bass pressure, he delivers a remix built for late-night sessions and underground spaces. While staying true to the essence of the original, this version adds a darker, heavier feel, offering a dynamic alternative for DJs who love weighty, groove-driven Tech House.
