VIVA celebrates its 10th anniversary with new release

‘Decadedance Part One’ features new music from Groove Armada and Junior Sanchez

This year VIVa MUSiC celebrates its 10th birthday with a three-part release. The imprint has been releasing music since its creation in October 2006 from the likes of Jamie Jones, Patrick Topping, Detlef, Andrea Oliva and more.

‘Decadedance Part One’ includes exclusive new music from house and techno dons Groove Armada, Phil Weeks, Harvard Bass and Junior Sanchez and is out on October 21.

Part Two follows on November 11 with releases from Eats Everything, Andrea Oliva, Emanuel Satie and MANIK; and Part Three drops November 18, with new music from Catz ‘n Dogz, Mathew Jonson, Livio & Roby and label boss Steve Lawler (pictured).

Lawler said: “I’m incredibly proud that we have got this far and the careers we have helped launch along the way, it’s been a journey of both love and pain. Ultimately being an A&R runs through me like blood and I couldn’t give it up even if I tried. I want this release to both celebrate the past 10 years and to signify where we’re going for the next 10 years. This project itself has been in the making for almost a full year and I can’t wait to finally see its release. Thank you to all the artists and their incredible art”.
