Riva Starr - The Basement Shit EP

February 10th 2017 see House music’s sharp shooting DJ/producer Riva Starr release his first EP of the year entitled, ‘The Basement Shit’, via his acclaimed Snatch! RAW imprint in digital and vinyl formats. 

This sublime four-track EP sees the London-based Italian-born DJ/producer kick the year off with a bang, following a highly successful 2016 which saw Starr; secure a Top 10 spot within Beatport’s Tech House artists of the year, release on labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Hot Creations, Cajual Records and Moon Harbour Recordings 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!

‘The Basement Shit’ EP is available from February 10th 2017 via Snatch! RAW.
