Over the years, The Viper became a household name on leading dance music labels such as Babyboom Records, Viper Beatz, and Neophyte Records. On these imprints, The Viper dropped tons of hardcore classics like “Come As One,” “Bulletproof,” “Coming Home,” and “Raging In The Dancehall.” His song “Wild & Free” is extremely close to hitting 10 million streams! Alongside these countless solo productions and collaborations, The Viper is widely recognized as one of the harder styles’ best remixers and bootleggers.!

His resume contains monsters like Sunbeam’s “Twisted World,” Tha Playah’s “Fuck The Titties,” Critical Mass’ “Burning Love” including his remixes of Paul Elstak’s “Love u More” and “Promised land” and lets not forget “2 Brothers on the 4th floor-“Come take my hand”.
