Since releasing Futurebound’s ‘Blind Cobblers Thumb’ & ‘Pied Piper’ in 2003 which achieved instant anthem status, Viper Recordings and has since become one of the scene’s most high profile labels and one which boasts some the most exciting and groundbreaking artists on the Globe. . After releasing a series of killer tracks by the likes of J-Majik & Wickaman, Brookes Brothers, Baron, State of Mind, Moving Fusion and Futurebound himself, 2007 saw Viper release its first album, as Futurebound & Matrix released their Monstrous ‘Universal Truth’ album, which was voted dance album of the year in numerous territories around the world and featured many anthems from the duo, such as ‘American Beauty’, ‘Skyscraper’ and ‘Coast to Coast’ to name but a few. Following on from ‘Universal Truth’ and Futurebound & Matrix where drafted into remix none other than Justin Timberlake’s ‘Love Stoned’ for Sony/BMG as well as turning in a blinding remix for Nu-Tone’s ‘System’ track. Moving into 2008 and Futurebound had barely let the new years dust settle before unleashing the blistering Headroom EP, as well as linking up with the Brookes Brothers to produce the massive ‘Dawn Treader’ which was released on Breakbeat Kaos. As well as being hard at it in the studio again and DJ’ing worldwide spreading the Viper sound, him & Matrix dropped their first 12” post Universal truth. ‘Womb’ and the Nu:Tone & Logistics remix of ‘Family’ dropped in March and became a firm favourite throughout the D&B world. And to cap the year off in fine style Futurebound & Matrix offering released the dancefloor killer ‘Shanghai Surprise’ backed by the lush rolling vibe of ‘Reflection’, which featured the vocal talents of Cat Knight. Futurebound and his Viper kru wasted no time in taking things up a notch in 2009 with the highly acclaimed “Acts Of Mad Men” LP, which was named Zane Lowe's 'Album of the Week' on Radio1. If that wasn't enough, Futurebound and his partner in crime Matrix were on serious remix duties for the likes of Moby, Snap!, Sasha, Lazee, and Ian Carey. 2011 is shaping up to be another massive year for Futurebound and Viper Recordings with a massive lineup scheduled for the rest of the year, along with the 2nd LP from Matrix & Futurebound currently in the works.
