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.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
