This week’s podcast comes from a fresh UK dance stalwart under the name of Viers; a young producer who’s recently come into his own thanks to attention from the likes of contemporaries such as South London Ordnance, Happa and a voice of an electronic higher power, Mary Anne Hobbs. The sounds of Viers are a tantalizing affair; bringing about fresh perspectives on what many call “bass music” by incorporating some “oomph” to his productions; beaming up and breaking down the barriers between house and techno entirely with his new release on the up-and-coming CHURCH imprint “0002/Your Body”. What’s even more intriguing about Viers is what his future holds, as ever so subtly strewn upon in the mix, is another part of his production scheme entirely; perhaps we should be grateful that the future techno-wunderkind was privy enough to share it with us. Either way, here we are, presenting his mix for our weekly podcast series, and from our ears to your computers, we’re telling you it’s something special. Best part? It’s only the beginning for him; you best believe you’ll be hearing more about Viers in the near future. Check out the mix (featuring tunes from the labels of 1080p Collection, Fifth Wall and more)and tracklist over yonder.
