From Rivera's Groove Box #433: Soul Mass Transit System - Feelin Fine

Massive deep bass rumbler from the Warehouse Rave crew who are currently coming very strong in the UK garage house scene. Everyone into the sound definitely need to keep an eye on them. Keep the party going!

From Rivera's Groove Box #432: K-LONE - Snyders

Really enjoying some of those new school UK garage house tracks, super nicely put together skippy beats and sweet chords. Some producers push the sound in a interesting way, although some labels release 100s of tracks sounding rather identical. Still, garage house being strong and alive is one of the best reasons to be alive for a music lover like me!

From Rivera's Groove Box #431: Industry Standard - Justify

Industry Standard produced one of the best UK garage house tracks of all time - 'Shine Bright In The Night'. But this one, which was released originally under their another alias Deep Impact, in 1998, comes very near. I'm really digging the resurgence of the 4x4 US house influenced garage sound in recent years. It's true to the soulful roots of house music spirit. 

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.

From Rivera's Groove Box #426: DJ Houseplants - I Don't Mind

No, really, I don't mind. It's okay.

From Rivera's Groove Box #425: Pacific Bureau - Time Of Lovers

I have no idea what this track is sampling. Is it somekind of a delicate house take based on Japanese chopped pop song? I swear I hear almost some weird "engrish"? The artist who goes by the alias Pacific Bureau hasn't released much music so far, but what he has done already is such a fresh take on the plunderphonics style dance music. And look at that cute bunny!

From Rivera's Groove Box #424: Niles Cooper - Oldtown Dub

Nothing makes my heart beat faster than a good ol' 90s house style groove. What is it about old school house music so insatiable and desirable, that when you hear those tight beats and chords patterns, it just feels so right? Maybe it's the right balance between all the sounds in the mix, where things just feel more sparse, not cluttered and too nervous. Of course, not all old school inspired dance music is executed in a new and exciting way. Truth to be told, it's getting harder to sort out the real gems from unsatisfactory duds. But Niles Cooper has gotten it right with this track, which itself is a dubbed and tricked out version of one of his previous tunes "Downtown Copenhagen". It's in Cinthies (Berlin's 803 the Meme Queen, Elevate record store) record bag also!
