Alongside the solo original from G-Flame there is also a remix from Riva Starr who along with heading up his own label Snatch! Records, has featured high profile tracks on labels ranging from Hot Creations to Adam Beyer’s Truesoul.

As The Advent, he has also released music on labels that range from Drumcode to Truesoul, and under his G-Flame alias has been a regular collaborator with Mr. G, plus done solo works on imprints such as Darren Emerson’s label Detone and his own Alpha Recordings.

Riva Starr is an Italian artist currently based in London, and is one electronic music’s elite with his own in demand productions and also collaborating with the likes of Green Velvet, Fatboy Slim and DJ Sneak.

‘Heaven’ is the solo original and its jazzy melody layered over rolling percussion form the foundation of the groove that’s got just a hint of funk. It’s the soulful tones of the vibrant vocal that really brings this jacking cut to life. Uplifting and perfect for the summer, this floor filling monster is the perfect blend of timeless elements.

Track two is the Riva Starr remix which is a bass heavy version that has tiny drop in tempo to allow for the funk to take full control. Working in some extra percussion this chunky remix has touches of the original’s techy vibe but focuses on the house music elements to subtly change the genre. Careful not to lose touch with the vocal or prominent melody elements, this masterful remix ticks all the right boxes.
