From Rivera's Groove Box #414: Helen Sharpe ‎– Got 2 Have Your Love


Beautiful deep house, reminiscent of the classic sound of early 90s - like the female sung counterpart to Frankie Knuckles & Satoshi Tomiie Feat. Robert Owens "Tears".

From Rivera's Groove Box #413: Digwah - Reckless Eyes


The Digwah 'unknown artist' bootleg remix series gets a lot of hate and love equally. Many call these tracks boring, heartless, uninspiring, generic, nothing special... but yet, there is a demand for these records, they get bought instantly and are on many collectors wishlists. Ricardo Villalobos is known to drop these in his mixes. 'Reckless Eyes' is the best entry of Digwah in my opinion - it is the most musical and less on the dull side than the other entries, but that is mostly because the Sade song is such a masterpiece in the first place.

From Rivera's Groove Box #412: Phone Traxx - PT Theme


Phone Traxx so hot right now. Adventurous, bumpy, funky UKG flavored dance tracks. The guys behind this project said they'd do 5 records from the start, and this track is from the final 'Phone Traxx Volume 5' EP. Because the records and tracks have received a very warm reaction, I'm more than sure Phone Traxx will return in some kind of other reincarnation. Fingers crossed!

From Rivera's Groove Box #411: Zigg Gonzalezz - Sunday (3pm)


Sweet house track and another one from Shed's alias. Did you know he only makes music with a computer nowadays, strictly in the box!? You'll never guess where I found this track too - from Thomas Bangalter's facebook wall! Dudes a true househead in the heart. Trax on da rocks, yeah.

From Rivera's Groove Box #410: Dusk Til Dawn - Must Be Love


Syrupy, super saccharine sweet handbag house or timeless UK garage classic - you decide! I'm suprised this track is very underlooked, the production is just so tight and shows that Grant Nelson really owned the garage house club sound.
