Cnof

Cnof is a Moscow-based producer and DJ working in drum and bass, primarily in the liquid substyle. He has released music on Fokuz Recordings, Occulti Music, Celsius, Soul Deep, Live History Recordings, Liquiddrops, Atmomatix and Fizzy Beats. Selected releases on his artist profiles include Come To Me EP (2015), Tell Me You Love Me (2016), Morning Vibes EP (2016), Rose Bouquet EP (2018), Dancing Around EP (2019), Sincere Joy EP (2019), Heavenly Dawn (2020) and Soul Hero EP (2022).

Public biographical detail about Cnof’s early life and entry into the scene is limited. He is active in Moscow’s club circuit and has performed at venues such as 16TONS. His online presence is maintained across SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Beatport and major streaming services, where the above releases and singles appear on his official profiles.

Across the listed releases Cnof’s production leans toward melodic liquid drum and bass. On tracks from Come To Me EP (2015) through Soul Hero EP (2022) he uses rolling break patterns and layered atmospheres: sustained pads, clean electric-piano or synth leads, and mid-range melodic motifs. Bass design in his work typically sits under the mix as a warm sub layer rather than aggressive mid-bass growl, and his drums favour crisp snares and chopped amen-style or two-step breaks arranged to keep a smooth forward motion.

Production techniques evident on his releases include multiband compression on pads and bass to keep low end tight across streaming formats, transient shaping on break hits for snap, and simple vocal chopping or sampled toplines used as hooks on several EP cuts. Those traits place his output squarely in liquid and “rollers” territory: dancefloor-friendly BPMs with an emphasis on melody and atmosphere rather than harsh neuro textures.

Cnof’s recorded contributions are concrete: the eight EPs and singles listed above (2015–2022) and label appearances on Fokuz, Occulti, Celsius, Soul Deep, Live History Recordings, Liquiddrops, Atmomatix and Fizzy Beats. Specific collaborations or publicly stated influences are not documented on the profiles available; the most verifiable touchpoints are his release catalog and his Moscow club performances. He remains active online via SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Beatport and streaming platforms and continues to appear at Moscow venues such as 16TONS.
