Riotvan is thrilled to announce the latest installment of the "Familiar Faces” series, with label bosses Panthera Krause and Peter Invasion once again opening their arms and welcoming an exceptional group of friends. Some familiar faces return, while others make a glorious Riotvan debut. Originally conceived as a four-track release, in line with previous installments, the project took on a life of its own as the incredible music continued to flow in. 

Today, we are delighted to present "Familiar Faces IV," an eight-track selection that showcases the freshest and most diverse sounds from a group of our incredibly talented friends. Riotvan regulars https://soundcloud.com/shubostar, https://soundcloud.com/newhook, and https://soundcloud.com/sexylazer & https://soundcloud.com/schoolofx, invite listeners on their journey exploring deep, punky, and cinematic soundscapes, while our Belgian buddy, https://soundcloud.com/dc-salas, takes a deep dive into the acidic depths. From across the pond, we welcome a cosmic queen in, https://soundcloud.com/tony-mukke, and one of our favourite Mexican amigos, https://soundcloud.com/muftimx. Both new members of our clan. Our greatest gathering to date wouldn't be complete without the familiar faces of https://soundcloud.com/peter-invasion & https://soundcloud.com/gregor-habicht, who treat us to an exciting sci-fi soundtrack, before the Italian connection of https://soundcloud.com/amarcordmusic & https://soundcloud.com/speaking_minds add a blissful beauty to close the collection. 

Familiar Faces IV is a musical family reunion like no other, where friends from all corners of the world come together to create a
harmonious symphony of sound.

With Lucifer, Kompakt presents an album of rare beauty from two masters of modern music. A family affair, it’s a collaboration between the Italian father-and-son duo of Luciano Michelini and Lorenzo Dada, whose combined histories bring to Lucifer a depth of experience alongside clarity of vision and a finely tuned, neatly developed combined compositional voice. A lovely, beguiling suite of music that combines the electronic and the acoustic, the urban and the pastoral, its gorgeous night-eye vision and tender melancholy sits neatly within the Kompakt universe, while offering the curious listener some rich new perspectives.

There is already plenty to know both artists by. Lorenzo Dada creates across multiple fields – a techno producer and DJ who has already worked with the likes of Jay Haze, Fete, Leo Benassi, and Der, he’s released a small clutch of stylish, smartly designed EPs, and a solo album, Second Life (2018). His complementary background in classical music and composition informs his ensemble project, Tears Of Blue (who appear on Lucifer), where Dada paints with neo-classical tones for a quartet of violin, viola, cello and grand piano, supplemented by electronics for live performance.

Luciano Michelini’s history is yet richer. He may be best known, to many, for his piece “Frolic”, the theme to Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm series; it was also sampled by Snoop Dogg for 2022’s “Crip Ya Enthusiasm”. But there’s much more to Michelini’s story. A successful soundtrack composer, Michelini both studied and taught at the Conservatoro di Santa Cecilia, and worked for RCA from the sixties to the eighties; his soundtracks from this period are gorgeous examples of the form, particularly his work for Il Decamerone Nero (1972), L’Isola Degli Uomini Pesce (1979), and the devastatingly gorgeous Dimensione Donna (1977).

In the eighties, Michelini and his wife Anna Gutling founded the Electronic Music Division studio and academy in Rome, which is where the majority of Lucifer was recorded. Dada reflects on the experience: “We never worked together before, so it was all new for both of us,” with Michelini adding, “I truly love this experience with my son. He’s a talented pianist and composer. I am not very familiar with electronic music nowadays, but we did it fluently.” There’s certainly a familial energy at play through Lucifer, and you can hear how Dada and Michelini, through exploration and experiment, find a shared language, balancing Dada’s tendency toward minimalism, and Michelini’s composerly voice.

Lucifer flows as a suite that interweaves electronic music with acoustic instruments: the lonely sigh of saxophone; Michelini’s lush, verdant piano; the weeping strings of Tears Of Blue (recorded at the studio of Michelini’s friend, the late Maestro, Ennio Morricone). These multiple voices are located within the electronic sighs and swarms from Dada’s kit; there are moments of propulsion, and passages of lambent drift, where the album revels in its tonal sweetness. If it flows so effortlessly, that’s because Lucifer was designed that way, as a suite or a sonata of sorts.

And the title? Dada reflects, “Lucifer was an angel who decided not to be one anymore. The miracle of life is that we can decide what we want to be, even if we are born as angels or vice versa.” This feels somehow apposite: there’s certainly something of the transformative, and the transportive, in Lucifer, a unique family collaboration of rare poetry and sensitivity, where two generations meet in the modern crucible that is the electronic music studio.

🎧 Genre: Afro House / Organic House / Melodic Deep
🌫️ Vibe: Solitary – Enigmatic – Ancestral
🔥 BPM: 120
🎶 Produced by: Kogan Silvercloud
📍 Inspired by inner journeys and shifting dunes

➡️ Lose yourself to find yourself.

Lost in the Sands

"Keep On Running" by DR:EW blends soaring synth leads with a warm Deep-House atmosphere and a classic House inspired vocal hook. The result is a powerful, uplifting Indie Dance weapon that carries both emotional weight and dance floor energy.
Rolling basslines, wide pads and a hypnotic melodic progression make this track a perfect fit for peak-time sets, sunset sessions and late-night clubs. A cinematic, driving groove from Darkness Music that leaves the floor floating.
