Our most prolific and celebrated artist - Ritz, returns to Piston Recordings with the superb Weird EP. Ritz continues to deliver the goods for us at Piston. He has amassed an impressive 50+ releases with us since 2016, including regular appearances on our compilations. His tracks are consistently reaching the top of many charts, being hailed as weekend weapons by many of his peers. Ritz also runs his own imprint called Left Hook Recordings where he showcases his unique sound. He rarely does DJ sets and when he does, it is on special occasions using only his own music. As always, it's a pleasure having him here.
Weird opens the release, introing with a smooth, rounded kick drum which is followed by crispy hats and lush chord pads. A deep, groovy bassline joins in, creating a warm atmosphere before pulsing synths and bright leads take us to the next level. A beautifully rich and infectious mover that will not disappoint. Loan is up next, delivering a punchy, drum fuelled groover. Snappy snares, crispy hast and a chunky kick drum get the feet moving as warm chord pads fill the spectrum to the backdrop of a smooth, deep bassline. Analogue keys complete the construction, adding character and depth on this stomper of a track. Dat rounds out the release, dishing out a solid club vibe thanks to some cool vocal shots and an upbeat groove. Tight beats and plush basses are joined by hypnotic synths as mesmerizing strings rise and fall. Wholly infectious and definite floor fodder, no doubt.
