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.

Large Music Radio 58 mixed by DuBeats

You’re in for a real treat this week as we’ve received an hour of funk-fuelled mixing from one of Sweden’s finest talents, Oplopolo.

A long-standing friend of the Traxsource family, Opolopo is an artist who lives and breathes dancefloor-focused music. Z Records, Real People Music, BBE, and Local Talk are just a few of the labels that have become encapsulated by his sound and further spread his musical message with their platforms.

This year has brought a steady stream of high-quality releases and remixes to his catalog, with the latest seeing Opolopo unlock the Local Talk vault, handpick Soulphiction’s cut ‘Bizzness’, and deliver a deliciously bass-heavy funk stomp rework.

Luke Solomon, Parisian Soul, Makèz, Emmaculate, and several of his own remixes and productions earn a rightful place in the Deep, Soulful and Jazzy sound he’s worked together for us. The recipe for a perfect listening experience is now at your fingertips. Enjoy!

20+ countries, 80+ radio networks and 10 million+ weekly listeners can’t be wrong. Keep it Traxsource. Keep it underground.

This week we welcome the smooth talking Melvo Baptiste into the SB mix series for an hour of the most in demand Disco sounds you could ask for! Melvo is the host of Glitterbox's massively popular radioshow and has enjoyed a meteoric rise in his career since joining the Defected sub brand in 2017. Since then he’s been a key figure in developing the brand into a good time party beacon that’s seen their flamboyant Ibiza parties go from strength to strength with each season. This year he’s been busier than ever with the Glitterbox record label side of the business taking off as well as holding down a resident DJing schedule that will see him getting some serious air miles under his belt.
