Riva Starr presents his fifth album 'Keep Me On The Dancefloor' on Snatch! Records.An opportunity to demonstrate his growth as a producer and as an artist, the album showcases an unexpected Riva Starr sound - one that explores a fresh creative approach, focusing on songwriting, collaboration, and telling stories that are firmly rooted on the dancefloor.Featuring collaborations with Chromeo, Flight Facilities, Harry Stone and more... 'The album was entirely crafted through writing sessions with talented musicians, writers, and singers. This approach brings something unique, as being in the room with other creatives adds an extra layer of creativity and depth, enhancing the production quality. Most of the tracks came together quickly, thanks to the incredible vibe and chemistry in the studio. Sometimes, the process needed a bit of back and forth and more than one session to perfect.' - Riva StarrFusing sounds that represent different eras of Riva's career, 'Keep Me On The Dancefloor' wistfully and effortlessly glides between disco, funk, soul, filtered house, and even the guitar licks of classic rock; a sum of his career to date, it is a body of work that focuses on amplifying the positive moments, memories, and experiences that can only be found in music. Exploring what it means to connect with someone in the moment; a celebration of losing your inhibitions to the music and finding yourself completely in sync with someone you've only just met.Charged with storytelling and heartfelt lyrics, his most personal work to date is the result of a considered approach to making music, one of collaboration with one foot still on the dancefloor, and the other firmly in the studio guiding an array of talent to build something unique with him. Moving away from the DJ-friendly cuts that have underpinned much of Starr's career, the fifteen tracks on 'Keep Me On The Dancefloor' are much deeper. With singer Harry Stone providing catchy top lines and infectious vocals across at least half of the album, there is a clear maturity on display at every level.Additional features come from electro-funk duo Chromeo on the irresistibly groovy 'I Was Lost', and Prince-esque vocals from Nic Hanson on '(I'll Be Your) Paradise'. 'Know You Love Me' - the laid-back, sun-kissed cut with Flight Facilities - compliments the melancholy vocals of Biishop on 'Wildfire' and the disco-infused 'It Feels Much Better' with Harry Stone.Tracklisting:A1.
