From Rivera's Groove Box #430: R.I.P. Productions - On Cloud 9


R.I.P. Productions made the best US influenced 90s house tracks in the UK. You can recognize the lush chords from Cloud 9 'Do You Want Me' - a Victor Simonelli production, which itself sampled those from the Salsoul classic 'Falling In Love' by Surface.

From Rivera's Groove Box #429: Masters Of The Universe - Space Talk (Hyper Spaced Mix)


Is this Balearic? Produced by Dave Lee (formerly known as Joey Negro) and Mark Ryder in 1990, it's a mixture of Italian piano-house, deep, soulful US house, and a touch of Detroitish techno. A really well produced tune especially for its time and it still sounds fresh today, hasn't aged at all. I'm pretty sure I have heard Octo Octa and Eris Drew spun it. A perfect intro tune.

From Rivera's Groove Box #428: Kamasutra - Censored (Under Version)


Big vocal number from 1994, produced by Alex Neri. Great build up, nice intro track to a house mix, very soulful and deep. Has that Victor Simonelli and New York garage feeling all over.

From Rivera's Groove Box #427: Strickly Dubz - Pump It Up


Jeremy Sylvester has made probably a thousand dance tracks, but this I feel is his absolute best work. Mesmeric and deep rolling bassline, luscious vocal snippets, tight beats and some irresistible electric keys makes this an easy to remember garage heater.
