Riva Starr - Back To the Bass

I rarely post people I don't know's mixes around here. But the thing is, it's been years since I've heard a dance DJ mix I liked this much. You know, that old school shit where I hit the stores in search of nearly every track played.
It's not even that new, in fact, I've been running it for months. But I can't stop listening to it and felt the need to spread the word.
I'll admit, I've only passively been a fan of Riva Starr. Over the years I've played a handful of remixes and tracks , but I never really was paying full attention. Well, I've started. I know I'm a lil behind here as he's been headlining gigs all around the world and gracing magazine covers. None of that matter though, because this mix is a banger start to finish. It takes me back to the cassettes I used to buy at raves. Solid vibe throughout and full stoney bass biz. At one point it even goes D+B on you with a stellar Marky remix of Claude Vonstroke.

Departure Lounge - Dep Lounge 2 feat Sor

Rhetoric - 1998


I love this track. Super deep, bassy house vibes. Found it during one of many listening station sessions at Satelitte Records in NY back in the day. Used it on many mixes since then, most recently my White Light Mix. Which you should download if you haven't already. Recommended listening, as are all of the White Light Mixes. Lately I've really been enjoying the new ones from U-Tern, Eli Escobar and Wax Romeo. Can't go wrong with any of those guys ever.
Please Enjoy.
