Riva Starr - Raw Edits EP Vol 2
Release date: October 2nd

The always unpredictable and wildly creative Riva Starr returns to Saved Records for the second installment of his Raw Edits EP. Once again delving into an eclectic soundscape that references a plethora of genres, styles and tempos, Riva highlights why is the master of the edit yet again.

First up, Riva settles into addictive dubby atmospheres whilst splicing together the gospel vocals of Roland Clark’s ‘President House’ with the energetic groove of Sante Sansone’s ‘Groove Vibration.’ Thick swabs of bass pulsate between jackin’ beats which build and build throughout the track, mirroring the escalation of the impassioned vocals that bellow out over the top.

Setting off to work on Alex Under’s ‘Hacer La Compra’ Riva gives a demonstration on the workings of nailing a subtle edit.  Staying true to the original, he keeps things relatively stripped back to begin with, allowing jangling synths to flutter over fluid bass and quick percussion. That sense of swinging funk is then opened up by brilliant use of distorted FX, woozing keys and syncopating electronics.

With his edit of Gene Farris’ ‘Welcome To Chicago’ and Ron Costa’s remix of Miguel Bastida’s ‘Ketanima’ Rivaa digs into deep, dubby textures reminiscent of the heyday of Chicago house. Built around warm pads, melodic synths and surges of deep bass, the track has a laidback vibe but powered by a distinctly underground momentum.

It’s no secret that the work of Toronto-based Sean Collier is making a dent on the international music scene. His journey in music began in 2004 when he had the opportunity to DJ at what was Toronto’s haven for dance music lovers – The Guvernment Nightclub. After experiencing the wonder of moving a dance floor, Sean became intrigued by the intricacies and dynamics of high quality techno music, and spent the next few years mastering the art of music production. His first big EP titled Gray Matter was released on Intacto and sent waves through the technosphere catching the attention of heavy hitters Paco Osuna, Joris Voorn, Monika Kruse, Kaiserdisco and more.
Sean has since released chart-topping tracks on international music labels like 100% Pure, Tronic,  Bitten, Transmit Recordings, and more. There’s no question that the output of Sean Collier’s work is a reflection of his vast technical knowledge, his laser focus on producing high quality music, and his self-admitted tendency toward perfectionism. 
Upon listening to his recent releases like Red Mosquito, which charted #14 in the Techno Top 100, or Bar None which came in at #18 and you’ll get a sense of Sean’s signature sound: dark with monstrous grooves, explosive percussion and deep, driving basslines. Sean’s music is regularly supported by international artists like Paco Osuna, Adam Beyer, Carlo Lio, DJ Boris, Kaiserdisco, 2000 And One, and Sam Paganini, just to name a few. His music makes regular appearances in DJ sets and radio shows, including Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. As 2016 progresses, Sean’s focus is on one thing - produce fine-tuned, intelligent dance music that moves the world.
