Italian-born artist Riva Starr collaborates with New York-based DJ and producer Todd Terry on This Is The Sound. Previously, the pair have remixed each other’s solo productions, but their joint project on Hot Creations signifies a new beginning for the acclaimed producers.
Riva Starr talks about the significance of collaboration.

“Todd has been an inspiration since my early steps in house music,” he says. “With this EP, I just wanted to re-create some of the early house vibes with a modern twist. Feels good to have been able to collaborate with such a legend!” Together, the pair bring Riva’s vision to life on the title track, weaving a classic-house-tinged melody with crisp claps, penning an irresistible groove. Peak-time in every sense of the word. Riva Starr serves his solo offering on Creator, evoking a darker vibe. Chugging drums thump between a squelchy acid melody, paying homage to the birth of acid house in the late 80s, chopped with more contemporary textures.

Based in East London, Riva Starr’s roots lie in Naples, Italy. Having moved to London in 2008, Riva immersed himself in the UK tech house scene, playing across the country in Printworks, Motion, and Orange Yard to further afield in Pacha, Watergate, and Space Miami. As a multi-dynamic producer, Riva’s discography boasts remixes of work by Dennis Ferrer, Fatboy Slim, and Claptone and solo releases on Defected, Black Book Records, and his own Snatch! Records imprint. Grammy Award-nominated artist Todd Terry is a stalwart on the global house scene, breaking through in the mid-90s with the classic house heater “Keep on Jumpin” ft. Martha Wash and Jocelyn Brown. Since then, Todd has produced a colossal body of work on Defected, Inhouse, Freeze Records, and several others, keeping his sound aligned with his New York heritage and reinventing it with a fresh flavour.

Riva Starr X Todd Terry - This Is The Sound

One of his biggest releases to date, Chicago's man-of-the-moment John Summit released his second Defected single 'La Danza' earlier in 2022 with huge international success. Landing on the BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM playlists in the UK with key support on radio stations across the globe, it was one of Beatport's longest-running #1 records of the year and has secured close to 30M streams already. Now John's Defected label-mate David Penn steps up on remix duties, playing to the Latin-infused influences of the original, layering his signature piano breakdowns and grooving bass to re-present 'La Danza' in a new light.

Pioneering producers Bob Sinclar, A-Trak and Melé join forces for a reimagining of the 2022 Defected release ‘Deep Inside Of Me’. Chris Le Friant AKA Bob Sinclar previously collaborated with Grammy-nominated Canadian producer and one half of Duck Sauce, A-Trak, for ‘Deep Inside Of Me’ last year - now British house innovator and choice selector Melé joins the fold to give the production a modern twist. Together the three artists have been at the forefront of various electronic scenes over three decades, producing some of the finest house tracks in every DJs record box: Sinclar rose to prominence in the late 90’s, A-Trak in the late noughties, and Melé within the last decade. An international and generational collaboration, ‘Deep Inside Of Me’ begins with DIY timbres and complex patterns looped to create a sonic lesson in polyrhythms – what follows is a synth pad bridge that cushions the fall from the percussive drops of before; the combined talents of the acclaimed producers come together in a blissful haze before the almighty climax crashes down.
