UPFRONTBEATS

The mighty Riva Starr makes his long-awaited debut on Rejected and he’s rolling deep in decorated company: none other than Robert Owens has joined him for the occasion!

As you’d expect from a partnership between a groove veteran like Riva and the man with the universal voice of house music, ‘Searchin” is everything you’d expect from such a collaboration. Jacking to the very core, shimmering chords rippling throughout and vocals from the highest of heavens. Seek and you shall find. Seek even harder and you’ll find a big fat dub mix, too.

Elsewhere on this exceptional release we have ‘Show Me Love’. Don’t worry, it’s not another Robin S cover. It’s actually way better than that’ Percussive, hip-swinging house with deep chords, a striking diva vocal on the fills and a groove that rolls from Naples to London (and back again), it’s another pure slice of uncut house music baked in the way only Riva knows how.

Searchin’ is set for release on Rejected this December.
