A highly anticipated tradition at Viper, the Annual Compilation is a celebration of the past year, featuring 26 tracks from a mix of familiar faces sprinkled with some of the scene’s hottest up-and-comers. Hand picked by label head honcho Futurebound himself, this year’s Annual 2023 features some of the year’s biggest hits from Jack Mirror, Blaine Stranger, V O E, Solomon France, Dossa & Locuzzed, Madface, BMotion, and more, sitting alongside records from Exile, DEAD WAX, CaitC, Houndeye, Deep Notion, and other ones to watch. Covering the full spectrum of Drum & Bass, Annual 2023 is the perfect celebration of another incredible year for Viper Recordings. 

Before unleashing the full album, the Annual 2023 Sampler offers a perfect taste of what’s in store, featuring three brand new exclusives from some of the scene’s best and brightest. 

First up, Madface teams up with Lottie Woodward, both familiar names to the label, with the explosive dancefloor track “High Above”. One of Viper’s latest signings, Madface has certainly been making waves the past year, so Annual 2023 wouldn’t have been complete without at least one new track from the Czech producer. Teaming up with the ethereal songstress Lottie Woodward, this powerful ballad features infectious vocals alongside vibrant danecfloor drops for the ultimate feel-good party anthem. 

Next up to bat is a new name to Viper with Deep Notion’s “Don’t Worry Bout Them”. An alluring cinematic intro paints an enchanting picture before introducing more tech-y influences leading up to a mind blowing drop. The juxtaposition of such a gentle opening against such a bass forward drop encapsulates the Viper sound perfectly, and we’ll be sure to keep an eye on Deep Notion. 

Last but certainly not least, CaitC joins the label with her debut single “Feel” featuring Christina Harrison on vocals. One of the hottest DJs to emerge in recent years, CaitC’s production is certainly on par with her stage presence, and combined with the mesmerizing vocals of Christina Harrison, “Feel” is a track you won’t soon forget. The ultimate liquid dancefloor record, hearing such immense productions from the new generation of producers is not only a testament to the influence Viper has held over the scene over the past 15+ years, but also to the strength and innovation of the scene as a whole. 

With three powerful new records to start, there’s no denying that big things are in store with Annual 2023 – the perfect end to arguably one of the label’s strongest year yet. Packed full of new and exciting talent together with legends like Futurebound himself, you will only find these sounds on the mighty Viper Recordings.

Deep Notion, the dynamic duo of Adam Cooper and Christian Samonte-Martin, have cemented their status as one of New Zealand’s most electrifying DJ and production acts. Deep Notion’s sound brings high energy and rich variety, taking listeners on a journey through a wide range of styles that seamlessly reflect the depth of their production. 

Their rise to prominence has been fueled by releases on labels such as Elevate Records, Invicta Audio, DARKMTTR, Viper Recordings, NUFORM, Device, and RAM Records, with their collaboration with T-Lex, "On Top", climbing to #1 on the Beatport Drum & Bass Charts and two tracks soaring to #1 on the Hypeddit charts. Along the way, they’ve gained support from major industry players, including UKF, DNB Allstars, Ministry of Sound, and Bassrush, while also earning recognition from some of bass music’s most influential names. 

Known for their commanding stage presence, Deep Notion have headlined tours across New Zealand and Australia, playing at some of the country's largest festivals, and are now setting their sights on the UK and Europe — already securing bookings at Let It Roll. Their success extends beyond the stage, with appearances on major radio platforms, including BBC Radio 1, KissFM, KoolFM, and GeorgeFM. In 2025, two of their tracks "Just Wanna Love" and “On Top” were chosen as BBC’s 'Drop of the Week', underscoring their growing international appeal. 

With 2025 now underway, Deep Notion continues to gain momentum, captivating audiences worldwide with no signs of slowing down.
