DISTRACTIONS is the debut LP by New Zealand DJ and producer, Cymbol!


We were thrilled to hear an advance copy of the new release, “DISTRACTIONS”, the highly anticipated solo debut LP by the New Zealand DJ and producer Cymbol! The album is set for a July 5th release and will be available on all streaming services worldwide.
In a world where the lines between genres are increasingly blurred, Cymbol’s debut LP, “DISTRACTIONS” stands as a testament to the power of musical fusion. Born Shivnesh Sumer, the New Zealand DJ and producer has crafted an album that is as much a journey through his eclectic influences as it is a collection of danceable, festival-ready tracks.
“DISTRACTIONS“opens with a vibrant energy that immediately showcases Cymbol’s signature style: a seamless blend of melodious hooks and left-field rhythms. Each track feels like a carefully curated experience, designed to evoke emotion and movement. The album’s fourth single, “About a Girl”, is a standout, weaving infectious melodies with poignant lyrics, setting the tone for what listeners can expect from the rest of the album.
Cymbol’s path to this moment is as compelling as the music itself. From winning the George FM Remix Competition in 2013 to signing with the esteemed Australian label Sweat It Out Music, his journey has been marked by a series of impressive milestones. Tracks like “Best Friends”, “Burst Of Colour”, “Slipping”, and “Roll it up” have not only dominated New Zealand charts but also solidified his reputation as a formidable force in the dance music scene.
What sets “DISTRACTIONS” apart is its global influence. Cymbol’s sound is a unique amalgamation of Hip Hop, Dance, and Electronic music, enriched by the Bollywood and pop influences of his upbringing. His recent journey to Mumbai infuses the album with a rich tapestry of Indian culture, adding depth and texture to his already diverse soundscape. This global perspective is evident in tracks that transport listeners from pulsating dance floors to introspective moments of musical brilliance.
Collaborations have also been a key element of Cymbol’s rise. His work with New Zealand heavyweight rapper David Dallas on “Miss These Days” and the acclaimed The Cycle EP featuring This Pale Fire are just a few examples of his ability to seamlessly blend different genres and voices. “DISTRACTIONS” continues this trend, featuring a range of collaborators that add layers of complexity and richness to the album.
As Cymbol embarks on this new chapter in Australia, “DISTRACTIONS” feels like the culmination of years of evolution and experimentation. It’s an album that is not only a reflection of his growth as an artist but also a bold statement of his versatility and vision. Each track is meticulously crafted, balancing melody and rhythm in a way that feels both fresh and timeless.
For fans of dance music, Hip Hop, and electronic genres, “DISTRACTIONS” is a must-listen. It’s an album that promises to make waves across the music scene, captivating audiences with its innovative sound and heartfelt compositions. As Cymbol continues to push the boundaries of his artistry, this debut LP marks the beginning of what promises to be an exciting and influential career.
