From Riveras Groove Box #317: Industry Standard - Shine Bright In The Night

Today I woke up with this track playing in my head. It's an outstanding track, possibly one of the best and memorable UK deep garage house tracks. It was a rare track for years, but it has fortunately enough repressed recently. What I like about this track, is that it goes through many changes in the mood and feeling. It never gets boring. Irresistably lovable!

From Rivera's Groove Box #316: Paranoid London Feat. DJ Genesis - Lovin U

So beautiful it makes you cry. Great stripped down acid grooves with some deep and touching vocals from DJ Genesis. Mad props for Paranoid London for inviting her to do lyrics and vocals for this! DJ Genesis has been in the scene for a while but never really received the props I think she should deserve? Check out 'Back In The Middle' and 'It's You' from her. Great deep house!

From Rivera's Groove Box #315: Armando - Don't Take it

'Don't take it. I won't'. Heavy. It's a point of discussion how much of this track is actually done by Armando and how much of the track was reconstructed by Let's Pet Puppies label owner Thomos and the Chicago sound engineer Johnny Fiasco. Armando's track was unfinished from the late 80s and it sat on a reel tape for over 20 years, until Thomos picked it up from a Marcus Mixx locker. I think Armando did the beat and recorded the vocals by Sharvette. Rest of the track sounds too post 2000. If you know better about the tracks history, let me know.

From Rivera's Groove Box #314: Crustation - Flame (Mood II Swing Vocal Mix)

Make house great again. There's just something in 90s house music I find really insatiable, it's something the producers of nowadays keep lacking. Maybe it's the way music is produced now - with DAWs which automate so much of the production. Ableton is such a powerful tool, but yet it has inspired to make people boring and predictable electronic dance music. Almost all of the music I buy now are reissues of older tracks and tracks which have that old school vibe... oh god... I'm now one of those guys who moan about 'the good ol' days'!
