Bombay Sippin' is a continued house music evolution for Vancouver, BC, based DJ/producer Ricco. After a few months of focussing on production, Ricco dives into a theoretical mass of thick kicks, deep baselines, funky percussion and a catchy vox taken from none other than the legendary WIZ.

This DJ friendly version gives you all the ammunition you need to grab, capture and keep your dance floor while pouring a bombay gin and tonic... make it a double.

What’s the point of your DJ career? I came across a great article addressing this question on First Floor that was featured back in Oct (link below). I paraphrase below some of the points that stuck out to me.

DJing itself isn’t particularly difficult; literally anyone can DJ. Fine… that’s fun. But there’s this odd pressure for DJs to constantly project success; irrespective of whether or not things are actually going well. Is what they are doing actually creatively fulfilling? Good question.

I’ve been lucky enough to be on most sides of the creative equation in the scene and certainly feel less pressure at this point in my music journey to project success; simply focussing my production on my roots in house, breaks and D&B has been rewarding enough. Seems like the less serious I take it, the more dividends it pays. So maybe there’s no point, just running with it?

I agree with the article: it’s unfortunate how much DJs decisions these days are likely to be influenced by ... prevailing narratives about what a DJ career is supposed to look like… aka, an artist’s only options are to become an international touring juggernaut or remain “just” a local DJ. 

The article goes on... DJs can take their craft seriously without depending on gigs as their sole source of income. Plenty of great DJs hold down other jobs... I do. I’ve seen a lot of clout chasers and people who just want to get famous. They will always exist but dance music, especially underground, should distance itself from the glorification of continuous growth and mindless hustle culture.

The article's has a point, there’s no shame in having a day job, and there’s nothing wrong with being a DJ who doesn’t travel, or only plays the occasional out-of-town show. For DJs, there is no single “correct” path, and aiming for something lower than global domination shouldn’t be regarded as a failure.

I appreciate how the article suggests normalizing ignoring the voices that tell artists, “you’re not getting enough recognition” and encourage them to focus instead on following their creative impulses, wherever they may lead.

Normalize not thinking of DJing in career terms.

Its a great read for new and long time DJs. I wanted to share that.

Enjoy 🌄 the mix 🎵…. or don’t; it’s all 🧘🏽‍♂️.

Time Away (Ricco's Deeper Subjects)

Time Away

All proceeds from sales of Planet Earth will be donated to WWF (https://wwf.ca/) in celebration of Earth Week for climate justice. Co-Produced with @tonyquattro :).

Imagine Earth restored to her regal beauty - where stately trees brush the sky, and clouds rise like majestic peaks. The air vibrates with the songs of birds, creating symphony upon symphony.

This track is both a celebration and a warning. As we dance, we’re reminded: this isn’t just a backdrop — it’s our only home. The responsibility is ours. To care. To act. To restore Planet Earth.

Butterflies rest easy. My roots are in house and downtempo. Here I embrace the jazzy hip-hop influences I had in my teenage years on labels like OM, Stones Throw and Greyboy as well as some new classics I’ve been finding here and there.

Thank you to Ordinarily Honest for the support (https://www.ordinarilyhonest.com/). 

I wanted to capture what it’s like to be in, both, healthy and unhealthy relationships with this mix. Each track has a specific purpose and you may experience a different set of emotions with each; highs and lows, ebbs and flow. My own personal experience with relationships has been… a journey. I’ve learned that my person will share the same intense feeling for things I feel intensely about like culture, cuddling and above all music. I left some food for thought at the very end.

Thank you to Mandrn for the support (https://mandrn.com/) and Kelly for your energy and drive. A big thank you to Swon Studios for putting together such a creative album cover; follow them on IG @swon.studios.

This year has been transformative for many of us and keeping healthy rituals has aided in my transformative process. My ritual is music, it has a way of keeping everything still amidst the outside noise. This summer has been especially ritualistic for me as I have appreciated more the art of getting outside and wandering. Summer is supposed to be fun and nostalgic and I wanted to capture that in this mix. Inspired by the aesthetic of the Mandrn brand where summer meets art meets curiosity meets wandering. Enjoy.
