Viot Makes a Bold Nu Moda Records Debut with ‘Flex / Cardio’
The electronic music landscape continues to evolve through global cross-pollination, and Brazilian producer Viot is at the forefront of this movement. He has officially arrived on Max Styler’s Nu Moda Records, unveiling a high-octane double-sided single titled ‘Flex / Cardio.’ These two tracks serve as a sonic roadmap for the modern club experience, meticulously crafted to soundtrack the shifting moods of a night out.
A Fusion of Brazilian Roots and Global Club Culture
Hailing from Belo Horizonte, Viot introduced his solo project in 2021. Since then, he has cultivated a distinct signature sound that acts as a melting pot for Bossa Nova rhythms, gritty techno, Brazilian hip-hop, and house music. This eclectic approach finds a perfect home at Nu Moda. Rather than adhering to a rigid sonic template, Styler’s imprint functions as a creative hub, prioritizing cultural intersections and forward-thinking sound design-a philosophy that aligns seamlessly with Viot’s artistic trajectory.
Deconstructing the ‘Flex / Cardio’ Soundscape
The release is designed to guide listeners through the arc of a dancefloor journey:
- Flex: This lead track is a masterclass in deep tech intensity. It utilizes a rhythmic, UK-inspired rap vocal hook that weaves in and out of the mix, punctuated by a sharp, staccato bassline. With its crisp percussion and haunting synth stabs, the track is engineered for the high-pressure environment of a peak-time set.
- Cardio: Shifting the focus toward the late-night, immersive phase of the party, this track relies on a rolling, hypnotic bassline. It strips away the excess, utilizing minimalist synth loops and sporadic vocal textures to maintain a steady, infectious momentum that keeps the crowd locked in a trance-like state.
Reflecting on the creative process, Viot notes, “Flex and Cardio are my way of translating the energy and excitement of a night out into music. To me, Flex represents that peak-time moment on the dancefloor, while Cardio captures the point when the night starts heating up, and the energy begins to build.”
Rising Influence and Global Momentum
Viot’s ascent is backed by a formidable track record. His collaborative efforts include heavy hitters like Vintage Culture, Gabe, and Illusionize, alongside official remixes for industry staples such as Prok & Fitch and DJ Chus. His breakout collaboration with Vintage Culture, ‘Anthem,’ has surpassed 1.24 million streams on Spotify, cementing his status as a rising star. His work has garnered consistent support from global tastemakers, including Jamie Jones, Michael Bibi, Diplo, and The Martinez Brothers.
Beyond the studio, Viot is currently solidifying his presence on the international stage. He is wrapping up a successful North American tour, featuring high-profile stops at Brooklyn’s Westlight Rooftop and Miami’s Jolene Soundroom. His upcoming schedule is equally packed, with a series of major Brazilian performances including Rock In Rio, Tulum Salinas, and Muriqui Sounds, proving that his influence is expanding rapidly across both hemispheres.
