In the midst of the increasingly popular house music hurricane comes a fresh two track EP from one of the movement’s most promising talents, Richy Ahmed. Taking cues from hip-hop, techno, funk and disco, ‘The Drums’ EP arrives on the 2nd of December via Hot Creations.

Just stretching his limbs in terms of his discography, in less than two years the London-based producer has gathered some series attention. From 2011’s slinky, deep house mover 'Suck It' (Hot Creations) to his 80's chicago manipulation remix of Infinity Ink's 'Infinity', there’s always an enviable glisten about his work. His wizardry behind the decks lead to him being named resident DJ at DC10's Paradise this summer with the season coming to an end in late September.

'The Drums' got its maiden plays during Richy's Boiler Room Set and the takeovers of Paradise Ibiza. The EP steps out of the blocks with definite verve. Title track, 'The Drums', a hip-house barnstormer of a track it massages a buttery-smooth rolling bassline into a four-to-the-floor backdrop with contagious results. Legend, Kevin Knapp, jumps on vocal duty dropping in and out with praise to 'the drums'. On the flip side, '101 Jam' is a rolling analogue slice of deep house brilliance. Here, Richy pitches skittering hi-hats and hyperactive synth movements atop a robust bassline foundation. It proves homage to the brand of house celebrated right from the genre’s genesis.

Made this track for my most recent show in New York City, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and it worked so well that I decided to release this bad boy. 

Hope y'all enjoy this mad track!

Welcome back to Love Song Dedications with your host Lowdown, this one has been earmarked for that very special someone, a super important human, this one goes out, for you!

With a tick of approval from Odd Mob already, Dance Lord, Lowdown lays it on thick with his latest testament, showcasing his ability to serve us up the ultimate warehouse romper! No stranger to the dancefloor scene Lowdown’s works have seen releases across labels like IN / ROTATION, Night Bass, Club Sweat, Box of Cats, Confession and more recently Gorgon City’s REALM Records. He also whipped up a private edit of Valentino Khan’s ‘Deep Down Low’ that lead to the great man following and inboxing LD once it started to surface after plays from ACRAZE & San Pacho!

This song reminds us of the very first kiss you experience, there’s this level of tension leading into the magical moment, it perfectly captures the electricity that flows along with the adrenaline & nervous excitement when you lock lips with that special someone. When you take a ravey lead that intertwines with a throbbing bassline, a smooth yet seductive topline, sharp percussion & a cracker jack kick you get a song especially for you.

Good Times, Bad Times and Honesty heralds the minimalistic, sonically charged sound which epitomises their discography whilst dipping into newer territories. The Viennese outfit create a fresh, enticing arpeggio with Good Times, Bad Times, moving out on strung harmonies and bolstered with punching drums. Male vocal sifts through the mix, creating a humanist underpinning which juxtaposes perfectly with its crackling snare underneath. A breakdown midway adds a more dancefloor appeal, giving you a diverse soundscape that taps into a hugely diverse musicality. 

On the flipside, Honesty is a signing debut for Krooked, who’s never previously featured his vocal talents on a record and he stuns in his first effort. With elevated, stabbing synth and waif like beats straying through the composition, Camo & Krooked deliver a drop which is powerfully dynamic but still understated in its delivery. Honesty is a musical bridge into the Spring months, an uplifting, soulful track that’s sure to feature in your playlists.

The final release of Mosaik is getting closer and each release demonstrates how ground-breaking its signalled to be. Both Good Times, Bad Times and Honesty present the new chapter which Mosaik is about to open.

Just making noise sound like something worth listening to. Designer by day, sonic tinkerer by night. I like clean lines, dirty bass, and anything that feels a little too weird to be safe. i recycle ideas and occasionally cardboard. Don’t expect genre loyalty—I treat sound the same way I treat design: break it, rebuild it, make it mean something. If it hits your ears and makes you feel something, mission accomplished. If not… at least it was eco-friendly.
