Putting a spring in Riva’s step…

If this remix doesn’t make you happy you’re either a real grumpy bastard or depressed – in which case you should probably go listen to the soul-crushing droning of Thom from Radiohead (or perhaps not such a good idea… who knows what you might do…). Anyway, the point is that Riva Starr’s been banging out remixes at such a ridiculous rate that quantity has somewhat surpassed quality of late (admittedly he’s been rather busy with his superb Snatch! imprint) – so it’ refreshing to see him back to his good-old fun, uplifting self. His latest freebie is an unashamedly cheesy offering of vocal-based house that rises and swirls, with plenty of filtered builds and clattering drops:

    Fuck off. Only the ignorant can label Radiohead as soul-crushing droning.

    I agree – some of Riva’s productions have been a bit samey recently, this is an absolutely classic summer house joint. Great post!

    Check out Curious George and The Agent – Sunshine Motel for a similar summer disco house vibe. Great tune!

    only the ignorant or stupid can overlook the fact that pelski never said radio head were soul-crushing or droning, just Thom. Then again pelski does come across as snobby when it comes to his music. Its pointless, people like all kinds of music.
