Riva Starr’s ‘The Basement S***’ EP Out 10/02/2017

This sublime four-track EP forthcoming on Snatch Records sees the London-based Italian-born DJ/producer kick the year off with a bang, following a highly successful 2016. 

Starr secured a Top 10 spot within Beatport’s Tech House artists of the year, release on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Hot Creations, Cajual, and Moon Harbour plus hold Beatport’s overall #1 spot for no less than 4 weeks with his stellar remix of Groove Armada’s Superstylin’.

The EP’s title track ‘The Basement Shit’ commences the release, offering up a stomping bass heavy ‘Raw Beat’ groove, a spoken-word Hip-Hop-inspired vocal, ever-growing warped sound effects and a twisted synth-riff.

Next, the UK dance music pioneer Skream steps up to provide a stunning remix, taking ‘The Basement Shit’ into a whole different direction by utilizing some of the original’s key elements but adding a much more techier feel to the record.

In addition to the original and Skream’s remix, a special DJ Tool version of the track is also included within the package.

Last but not least, ‘The Flame (Back It Up)’, concludes the release in style, seeing Starr deliver another solid raw House rhythm accompanied by soulful vocals, Jazzy chord-stabs and a deep throbbing baseline to really get the party started!
