Launching his upcoming ‘Bloodline’ EP here at the club this Friday, Cyantific returns with his Viper family on Friday, 3rd August, including special guest Dillinja who is billed to make his Egg LDN debut. Ahead of the show, Stanley shares a list of artists with us who have shaped the sound and direction of his sonic career spanning 20 years… 

Michael Jackson - Thriller 

I discovered how good music could be at a very young age thanks to this song and album. 

The Prodigy - Outer Space 

I was at school when this came out, it was an eye-opener to a whole side of music that I didn’t really know existed. 

Jonny L - Piper 

This was the first record that really made me want to make this music, so ahead of its time. It was like hearing music from another galaxy. 

Adam F - Circles 

A personal all-time favourite. It has got everything I love about drum & bass in one song. 

Hatiras - Spaced Invader (J Majik Remix) 

Still bangs! It was so radically different at the time, and it influenced my sound a lot...
