Freerange welcome Black Loops back once again for his third release on the label. Riccardo continues to impress with a consistent and evolving output on labels such as Shall Not Fade, Atteral, Gallery and Madhouse, his warm, bouncing beats and basslines working their magic in a broad cross-section of DJ’s sets the last decade or so.
Here on ‘These Changes’ he teams up with young London producer and vocalist Cody Currie, known for his releases on Classic, Razor-N-Tape and Toy Tonics. ‘These Changes’ is an uptempo, shuffling house track with a deep, rolling mood which doffs the cap to classic NYC sounds but with a distinct contemporary spin.
‘The People’ treads a similar path with a repeating vocal hook and snipped and chopped jazz fusion sample adding the ear candy whilst punchy beats and echoing synths keep the floor bouncing. Think Charles Webster meets Joshua Iz on Guidance in the late 90’s and you’ll get the idea.
Closing out this sublime release we have ‘Driver’ which puts all the focus on a simple, compelling bassline pushing the groove along and creating a deep, emotive late night mood to move to.
You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Driver’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
