Viv Castle kicks off 2025 with another club-ready release, dropping ‘The Funk’ (incl. R3WIRE Remix) via Hood Politics Records on 14th February. Buy/stream: https://go.protonradio.com/r/rlv9OZq575AkM.
Following the success of his ‘Let It Roll’ EP on his own V55 Records last month, Viv keeps up the momentum after a breakout 2024 that saw him land releases on Altra Moda, Diynamic, and Insomniac. His consistent output of high-energy, groove-heavy Tech House has cemented his status as one of the genre’s most exciting names to watch.
‘The Funk’ brings Viv Castle’s signature style to the forefront, delivering a hypnotic and bass-driven original mix built for peak-time sets. Packed with rolling low-end grooves, crisp percussion, and nostalgic Rave elements, the track embodies the raw energy of underground club culture while staying fresh and modern. The carefully crafted arrangement keeps the tension high, ensuring a dynamic listening experience from start to finish.
Adding a new dimension to the release, R3WIRE steps in with a weightier, more percussive remix. A seasoned producer known for his club-focused sound, R3WIRE reworks ‘The Funk’ into a darker, driving version that adds depth and punch to the low end. The result is an alternate take that’s just as effective on the dancefloor but with a tougher, more immersive edge.
With each release, Viv Castle proves his ability to craft dancefloor weapons that hit hard and resonate with audiences. ‘The Funk’ showcases his ability to balance nostalgia and innovation, pushing the modern Tech House sound forward while staying true to his underground roots. This latest release is yet another statement of intent from a producer whose trajectory continues to rise.
