Deep Thumbing Electro-Bass Lines, Chops Breaking Drum Beats, the Voicing of a Soulful Singer on this new single entitled ‘NOT MOVED’ by Ricoh, is what I define cutting edge house music. This will be Ricoh’s follow-up recording from his last Deep House Vocal Dance groove single, ‘Am I Invisible’ on Blak Ink Music Group. Wil Milton lends a hand on this project’s production side of things, giving you his signature dance floor pear hour pound for pound groove, as Rodney Carter delivers his crafty songwriting skills on the Gravity(NYC) Vocal Mix.
‘NOT MOVED’ also contains the long awaited ‘Wil’s Piano Plays in The Dark’ Version. Milton strips the vocal down to just the counter-vocal hook, as he hammers away the keys of life on this gorgeous piano solo. This heartfelt, theatrical soundscape mix will sure work your dance floor, as it also stabilizes the pulse of the drum, and its deep depth bass
Ricoh has performed ‘Not Moved’ at New York City’s Legendary 14th Street Dick Shea’s Dance Studios, Uptown’s famed Iguana’s night club, and will be performing at Manhattan’s very own Gravity(NYC) event on Sunday November 9, 2008. Reviewed by Janice Mendez (NYC)
