Italian producer and DJ Riva Starr returns to Rekids with the "Shine A Light" EP, set to drop on March 27th, 2026. This marks his solo debut for Radio Slave's esteemed imprint, following his "Love Will Remain" EP with Mark Broom as Star B in 2022. Active for over two decades, Starr is a leading figure in House music, renowned for his ability to craft infectious loops, impactful basslines, and captivating vocals that result in timeless club tracks. His catalogue ranges from his own Snatch! Records to labels such as Hot Creations, Cajual, Crosstown Rebels, and Factory 93, with releases regularly hitting the top of digital charts.
Riva Starr’s "Shine A Light" EP opens with "Can’t Stop The Feeling", setting the tone with a bold and elastic House groove, driven by a funky bass, artful filter usage, and diva-esque vocal inserts designed to keep the crowd moving. "Shine A Light (On Me)" follows with an even greater impact, pairing thunderous drums with a powerful vocal that brings gospel intensity to a hands-in-the-air anthem. "Tryin'" digs deeper, keeping the pressure high with a more sensual bassline upholding male vocal shouts and soft choral touches designed for peak-time reactions. Closing the record, "Can’t Stop The Feeling (Beat-A-Pella)" strips the groove down to a minimum, rounding off a high-impact and emotion-laden EP from a modern master of House.
