Rich Furniss kicks off 2025 with “Big Walk,” a genre-blurring masterpiece that fuses house music’s hypnotic grooves with hip-hop’s raw energy. Enlisting Proper Villains and Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, this track is a bold statement—both a nod to house music’s roots and a vision of where the genre is headed.
From the jump, “Big Walk” locks listeners in with punchy percussion and a bassline that feels alive, pulsating like a heartbeat. As the beat settles in, a slick, old-school-inspired rap topline takes over, channeling the rhythm and grit of late ‘80s and early ‘90s hip-hop. It’s a seamless blend, balancing the grit of rap’s golden era with the euphoric flow of classic house music.
The track’s arrangement is equally masterful. Rich Furniss and Proper Villains play with energy dynamics, layering elements in a way that feels effortless. The build-ups are subtle yet effective, leading into grooves so intoxicating they hit before you even realize they’ve arrived. Every moment is intentional—nothing lingers too long, yet nothing feels rushed.
With over 700,000 Spotify streams and an ever-expanding catalog of label signings, Rich Furniss has established himself as a powerhouse in dance music. “Big Walk” isn’t just his best track of 2025 so far—it’s a testament to his ability to push boundaries while keeping the dancefloor moving. If this is any indication of what’s to come, the year is shaping up to be massive.
