House Salad Music presents
House Heroes, tributes to those who have left their mark in the history of house music

This chapter | Sandy Rivera
United States


Hailing from the music-fuelled streets of Brooklyn in earlier years, Sandy’s formative beginnings were consumed with a passion for the sounds assaulting his ears on a daily basis. Spanish funk, hip-hop beats, early electro and the burgeoning explosion of house captivated his attention and led him away from the sidewalk towards the dark and smoky halls of some of the world’s greatest clubs. 

For most, it was Sandy’s modern day 2000 classic Finally as one half of Kings of Tomorrow that bought him to their attention. Featuring the vocals of Julie McKnight, the dialogue between a dead woman and God transformed through Sandy’s production into one of the most revered house tracks of all time. Licensed to a staggering 164 compilations (and counting…) it remains to this day at the top of many people’s ‘all time favourite’ lists.

It was seven years prior to Finally that a chance meeting with the legendary Burt Bacharrach led to Sandy’s foray into full time production. With funding from the man behind countless hit records of his own and an obvious eye for talent, Sandy set up Blackwiz Records and released tracks such as D’Menace, Fade II Black, Open Your Mind, My Love Is Real, Young Hearts and countless others in a prolific spurt of creativity. Come Into My Room, released on Sandy’s other imprint DEEPVISION spawned a new strand of electro disco-house sound, soon found to be infiltrating the works of everyone from EBTG (Tracey In My Room) to commercial big-hitters like Kylie Minogue. 

Sandy’s solo work is equally as ferocious. Expansions, Class Is In Session, Changes, I Can’t Stop, Just Won’t Do, Lollipop, Freak, Deeper and more recently Persuasion, Escape and Dirty Sax have lit up airwaves and dance floors the world over. With three long-players under his belt – The Calling (1997), It’s In The Lifestyle (2000) and Trouble (2005) – his body of work shows the depth and scope of his ability to work across numerous genres, pulling in house, soul, R&B and chill-out. 

Since the release of Trouble, Sandy has turned his hand to various compilations – including Ministry of Sound Sessions and Kings Of Tomorrow Defected ITH – and has a magnitude of production credits on tracks and mixes for the likes of Craig David, Moby, Fedde le Grand and Everything But The Girl.

Away from the plug-ins, knobs and other countless buttons that proliferate his mixing desk, it’s on the dance floor where Sandy reigns supreme. Playing to both the underground and the overground, demand for his timeless abilities has never been higher. His blend of uplifting house, chilled tech-beats, funked-up rhythms and the ability to drop down into the depths of grinding progressive house make him one of the most versatile and natural artists in the world. 

With the second decade of the 21st century upon us, the name Sandy Rivera means more than just a collection of records – more than just ‘house’. It means a legendary sound split across different genres, breaking boundaries and making people listen. It’s the anticipation for what’s next, the wait for whatever tracks are just around the corner. He is without doubt the King of Tomorrow and the master of yesterday – he is Sandy Rivera.

House Salad Tributes | Sandy Rivera

House Heroes | Sandy Rivera

Another month, another Homemade House mix and this time by our good friend from Leicester (UK) Rich Emby. 

Here's a lil' word about the man in question:

Rich Emby (Deeply Jacked)
From Leicester (UK)
Lives in Normandy France 

Music obsessed Rich Emby is no stranger to the underground house music scene. Having been brought up on a rich diet of DJ's and producers from around the globe. Whilst doing the circuit in various clubs during the 00s, he developed a keen ear for good quality ‘dancefloor friendly’ underground house music – the sound that he has become synonymous with. Whilst he tends to lean towards the deep Jackin house side of the spectrum, his sets never fail to surprise, always changing things up, experimenting with the mix, and throwing the odd curve ball to keep the dancefloor and listener engaged. His ability to use the mix as a tool to keep the energy flowing is a skill which he thrives on.

TRIPLE DEE RADIO SHOW 712 WITH DAVID DUNNE - BEST OF 2023 SHOW

Episode 126 was another enjoyable one - I had a lovely time in hour one, mixing up all sorts of weirdness. Decided to start slow-ish and build up rather than jump around the BPM, so we go from moody Afro influences up to pumping disco, with a couple of brand spanking new bits from me in there. Quite smooth mixing from me for once, except at one point I hit the wrong button and completely stopped the music… but I don’t think anyone noticed! 

Hour 2 was bloody good! We were treated to an hour of disco delights from Loughborough-based party starting duo DiscoJam. True to their name, this was a wonderfully put together and expertly mixed journey through disco and nu-disco sounds with a great mix of favourites, lesser-known cuts and a few surprises. Well worth a listen, and if you find yourself near Loughborough you should probably get yourself down to one of their parties!

SANDY RIVERA - I Can't Stop (GANGSTER Blend)

DJ and radio presenter for over three decades. Did my first Dance show on Radio in 1988! Still playing music in clubs and on the radio even now. 
Also part of the remix team Triple Dee (remixes include tracks by Cevin Fisher, Duke, Dennis Christopher, Timmy Vegas, Solu Music  and Simply Red).  

Might I suggest that seeing as Soundcloud's stupidly outmoded copyright policy makes it very hard to upload ANY mixes, you should go to some of these pages to find mixes that I daren't try to post here:

You will find quite a few downloadable mixes there that aren't on Soundcloud!
