From Rivera's Groove Box #379: Joey Musaphia - What We Need


Taking the loop from Kerri Chandler - Atmosphere and giving it a little more oomph and shuffle. Very effective deep garage house from Joey Musaphia's 90s 'Cover Ups' series.

From Rivera's Groove Box #378: Dr. Shemp - Do What You Like



Dr. Shemp is really awesome at making very old school influenced garage house tracks! Masterfully created, respectful tributes to the golden age of 90s house music. After years of putting out quality tracks on small independent digital labels, he finally made his big tribute on wax this year for Marc Cotterells Plastik People Recordings offshoot Rhythm People Recordings.

From Rivera's Groove Box #377: Shanti Celeste - Days Like This



Have you ever felt like you've been hit like a brick, or feeling empty like a script which nobody read. Or maybe you feel today like you're a joke without a punchline? Growing up, nobody ever warned me about days like this. Days like this never end. This song makes me feel melancholic. But I feel it's one of Shanti Celeste's best works, it should have been on her debut album 'Tangerine'. It's also her own voice singing, which she should do more often, because she has a really wonderful soothing voice.

From Rivera's Groove Box #376: Matt Early & Ray Hurley Feat. Abi Flynn - Get To Me Once (Mike Millrain Remix)



Soulful! Deep! Beautiful! Ray Hurley and Mike Millrain are veteran UK garage house producers, so you can trust the vibe. Very nice vocals from Abi Flynn. A true musician, Mike Millrain was heavily involved in the Nice 'N' Ripe crew and a member of Mike Skinner's project The Streets.

From Rivera's Groove Box #375: Cinthie - Everything I Say



Supertight deep house groove from Berlin based DJ-producer-record store and label owner Cinthie. Loving the stripped down garage feeling this track brings. Cinthie is a nice and wonderful person to follow on social media who interacts often with her fans, and she is getting recognized in the dance music scene more and more everyday which makes me happy for her!
