Riva Starr

Riva Starr creates music that feels like a high-speed chase through a global flea market. It is house music at its most colorful and irreverent, characterized by a 'more is more' philosophy that somehow remains perfectly balanced for the club. You'll hear the thumping foundations of tech-house, but they are constantly interrupted by unexpected guests: a Balkan brass band, a dusty disco diva, or a surreal spoken-word snippet.

What truly sets him apart is his 'Snatch!' aesthetic. He doesn't just sample; he pickpockets musical history to create something cheeky and 'wobbly.' There is a distinct sense of humor in his tracks - a grotesque playfulness that makes the music feel alive and unpredictable. It is the sound of a producer who refuses to be bored, blending 'Mezcla' styles with a signature swing that keeps the rhythm feeling human and elastic.

Start with 'I Was Drunk' to hear his ability to turn an unlikely folk sample into a global club anthem. From there, dive into 'If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade' to experience his full-length vision of house music as a magician's hat where anything can, and will, happen.
