`Cyntax` or Ollie Kaye (to his friends and family) is a name you may be familiar with if you have heard of this little underground sound we call `Neurofunk`

Hailing from Essex, UK and coming from a background of music, Ollie was playing instruments regularly like the Piano, guitar and trumpet before taking his first leap into session music by recording his own songs at home in his bedroom that were a little on the questionable side to say the least.

It wasn't until attending University in Bristol that he discovered the sounds of drum and bass, starting with Jump Up and then being drawn into the darkside once discovering the likes of Eatbrain at the Qube Project in London.

As with most stories like this, a natural progression into Djing soon brought him full circle and producing music again but this time fully digital, and engrossed himself in sound design to discover his sound.

Now what you would expect next when reading this is a long, arduous 10 years of producing music, some questionable early tracks on labels you might not have ever heard of.

Not in this case. Cyntax had his first release hit some of the biggest labels putting out Neurofunk right from the get go, His early years of music has paid dividends as 2017 saw his debut on the mighty `Kill Tomorrow` label following this up with tracks on `Korsakov`, `High Resistance`, `Neurofunk, What Else?` and the huge `Blackout Music` which in most opinions is one of the top Neurofunk labels ever to release.

Reaching a pinnacle label so quick was not easy by any feet, but also did not leave Cyntax wondering what to do next, as he followed these up by winning a remix competition on Zombie Cats and another pinnacle label release on the mighty Eatbrain in 2022.

As we ride the wave of success right into 2023 it is with great pleasure VTO Records introduce Cyntax to our stable and his first release of 2023.

Cyntax- “Your Time Is Now”

We start this release with one of the most talked about dubplates of 2022 in the Neurofunk world, It's finally here.

This one was performed at last year’s `Let It Roll` festival during the Zombie Cats set and caused quite a stir and it's finally here for you all to get your teeth into.

An eerie but haunting movie-esque intro starts this one sounding like it came right out of a DC movie when the bad guys are about to beat down Bruce Wayne.

Its almost silent as we stop for the first drop. Drum Solo and Cyberpunk synths show off Cyntaxs music background with a huge lightning bolt of sonics taking us right into the next section in a huge way.

A robotic but evil vocal snippet lets you know “Your time is now” as the onslaught never lets up with this superb routine on display right from the Cyntax studio.

Be wanted if you haven't heard the second drop. Make sure you’re sitting for this one. 

Cyntax- “Darkness Surrounding”

We round the EP off with yet another huge Cyntax dub that people have been clambering to get hold of for the past year.

Kicking things off we get a little groovy, A little warpy and a lotta funky.
Our vocalist takes the lead on this one before the epic build to take us to a grinding halt and a huge wallowing bass slap.

The galloping percussion and drums throughout this one has that super dancefloor feel but the contrast in the bass makes you feel the `hard as nails` sound right throughout your body.

A huge release for us at VTO and taking us right into the QTR mark of the year with exceptional talent during potentially one of his last ever DNB releases.
