Viv Castle Drops Raw House Bomb on Rock Bottom
Viv Castle returns with ‘Pull Up’; a high-energy, vocal-led club weapon dropping 30th May via Rock Bottom Records. It’s a bold cut that blurs the lines between tech house and techno, built with the floor firmly in mind. A chopped vocal sample sets the tone early, looping with purpose over tough percussion, driving low-end and razor-sharp builds. The groove is stripped-back but aggressive, pushing tension without losing control. Buy/stream: https://go.protonradio.com/r/rlByv6k4kIrko.
This isn’t about overproduction or glossy effects. ‘Pull Up’ keeps things raw and functional, making it a go-to tool for DJs needing impact mid-set. There’s weight behind every element, from the kick to the drops, and that vocal hook gives the track an identity without crowding the mix.
The release adds to Viv Castle’s already impressive momentum. Following high-profile drops on Diynamic, Insomniac, SAY MUSICK and V55records, he’s built a reputation for no-nonsense club tracks that do damage. Alongside his original work, his unofficial reworks of artists like Kate Bush and Lady Gaga have drawn major support from DJs and dance music fans alike, expanding his reach across scenes.
‘Pull Up’ is a continuation of that form – darker, more refined, and still carrying the energy that defines his style. With each release, Viv edges further into his own lane; one built on precision, rhythm and crowd awareness.
For Rock Bottom Records – now 88 releases in – this is another sharp addition to a catalogue known for functional club music with a punch. ‘Pull Up’ doesn’t miss. It hits hard, does the job, and leaves an impression.
