Review: Riva Starr and Mark Broom are both huge names in their respective scenes, but put them together and they've got real Star potential. Star B potential that is, the name of their collaborative project which debuted in 2020 returns with an incendiary fusion of house, disco and techno! Pumping up two recognisable dance classics for today's Ibiza inspired dancefloor - "Fire" looks to early-2000s Hed Kandi compilation gold, with "Gotta Have You" full of '70s disco flex and modern day techno heat. Hi-hats for days.

Review: Although he still makes occasional outings on larger independent labels - think Hot Creations, Crosstown Rebels, Dirtybird and Defected's DFTD offshoot - Riva Starr saves most of his most colossal cuts for the Snatch label he set up at the dawn of the last decade. Predictably, the two tracks showcased on his latest single for his label are typically big, bold and peak-time ready. He hits the ground running with 'Find Your Strenth in the Sound', where tight acid lines, horn samples and warehouse-ready riffs ride a deep, booming bassline and tough-as-teak drums. He moves further towards a revivalist, Derrick Carter-friendly "boompty" house sound on 'I Want You To', a deeper and hazier but no less weighty early morning workout that comes complete with impassioned spoken word snippets and restless percussion fills.

Review: Mark Broom and Riva Starr's recent two-tracker as Star B, 'House Sound', has been given the remix treatment. The results are predictably impressive. To kick things off, Rob and Lyric Hood don their popular Floorplan alias to re-make 'House Sound', brilliantly re-imagining it as a dense, intense, mind-altering techno workout that makes merry with pulsating, restless bass, whistle sounds, delay-laden percussion hits and big piano riffs. It's followed by two takes on 'House Massive' featuring MC GQ: a bouncy, Inner City-inspired, warehouse-ready affair courtesy of Johannes Albert and a booming, breathless, tribal techno style tweak by Gaetano Paraiso of SouthSoul.

Review: Genghis Clan is another alias of the mighty Riva Starr who after releases for Dirtybird, Simma Black and This Ain't Bristol in the past is back on his very own Snatch! label here. He delivers two brand new cuts on this one: "I Am Brotherhood" is an expansive jam featuring one seriously bombastic bass and steely rhythms, supported by an enlightened vocal mantra. Second offering "Outta Control' is equally large but more minimalist but with a tough, boompty swagger throughout that's suitable for the warm-up or afterhours alike.

Parris Mitchell & Nina Kraviz - "Feel My Butterfly" (Jamie Jones Tribute To Aaron Carl remix) - (6:35) 129 BPM
Review: It's been a big and consistent year for Snatch! with this annual compilation series bringing it all together in the one spot once again. Off the bat, its tracks by Riva Starr & Santos with its kick drum surprise that take the lead next to legendary Detroit producer Aaron Carl being remembered through a Jamie Jones remix of an original ghetto house number by Parris Mitchell & Nina Kraviz! Don't sleep! Hi NRG house tracks feature too thanks to Ant LaRock, with broken beat rave antics coming from Genghis Clan next to dubbed out diva disco and gospel vibes straight outta Chicago from BiPolar Mind. Seriously, this year and the next: get your house, UKG, two step and ghetto tech wares here!

Review: Turning in a fresh slice of funk for the 2020-21 turn over period is Riva Star in collaboration with London-based singer Gavin Holligan. With Riva Starr adding a small cut up technique to the bebop skat style hats of Holligan's jazz style, flashed of strings dance with filtered house synths and a skipping groove in the disco entwined "Scat Dub". Moving on, a set of percussion pieces give a tropical vibe to the beefy drums and rollicking country, soul and western dance tip of "If I Could Only Be Sure (club mix)" - think Django Unchained deep in the club. Yee-haw!

Review: Snatch! is Riva Starr's first label project and the aim behind it is to push new talents and well established forward thinking producers. Expect slamming fresh house cuts from some of the most exciting talent in the scene. For its 89th edition, he presents a collaboration with Spanish tech house hero and Chicago deep house legend Gene Farris on the druggy and rolling mani room tech house of "Play" which absolutely reeks of White Isle hedonism this Summer. Second offering "A Jem Be" is much more deep and rhythmic with its sexy latin influence that is perfect to the set the mood early on the terrace on a Sunday afternoon before launching into the harder stuff.
