Production

I’m a beat junkie at heart and this Drum & Bass selection is a reflection of that.

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.

Drillesi

Sunrise. Inspired by a sunrise in Tulum after a long night of music. A deep house roller with one of my all-time favorite vox off a long since forgotten Brother's Vibe track.

plz message me for a DJ friendly version.

Sunrise

Indigogh and @riccomusicofficial come together to revitalizes a classic trap anthem. With the driving force of gliding 808's and movement from wobbly mid bass - the track progresses percussively into a dance floor two step weapon. This inventive Flip takes listeners on an exciting journey through modern sounds while showcasing the track's lasting charm.

I'm a sucker for chill, ambient, liquid D&B and so here you go. I pictured Hunter and Dr. Gonzo stumbling upon a church on the strip in the 70s, high as kites, while a church goer describes how God made the world.

God Made The World

My last instalment for 2024 released in 2025 - Time Away EP; vocal version and a deeper re-work. Watching two good people meet on a dance floor is a beautiful sight to behold.

Test drove these a few times on some decent stacks; kindly enjoyed by partygoers without politics.

Thank you Alyssa for the incredible artwork on this one. As always Eno on the master.

I’ll keep it 🔒 if ya’ll keep dancing.

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.

Planet Earth

This deep house reimagining of Hiatus Kaiyote's Red Room transforms the original's dreamy intimacy into a hypnotic dancefloor journey. Lush, slow-rising chords and atmospheric synths build a sense of emotional gravity, anchored by a deep, rolling bassline and a solid four-on-the-floor kick. It's my moody, soulful interpretation of one of my favourite songs of late. Hope you like.

I’ll keep it 🔒 if ya’ll keep dancing.
