We welcome Ritz back to Piston Recordings to continue our Autumn series with the superb Wanna Do This EP. This one follows his last effort - Undefeated EP, which was very well received indeed, and no doubt we have another winner here. Ritz remains a stalwart for us at the label, he never disappoints with his productions and always throws in new twists in his sound. From his early days as M0u53 to now, he’s released a ton of material across several labels, and he’s not done yet. Always a pleasure having him here.

Wanna Do This opens the release, setting the tone for the EP with a distinct jackin’ groove flavour. Punchy kicks and shuffling percussions lay the foundation for lush pads, thick analogue basses and warm chord stabs. The track is capped with cool spoken vocals which add character to the sound. Perfectly executed stuff that is a must have. Did U? takes us deeper with a sublime effort filled with rich analogue goodness. Mesmerizing chord sequences and retro basses sit on a bed of rhythmic percussions and tight beats. The ‘did you do drugs today?’ narrative is a stand-out moment in the groove, catching the ear and adding that finishing touch beautifully. Uniquely Aware concludes the release, taking us much deeper into the deep house sound. Phat beats and crispy percussions lead the way as hypnotic pads rise up creating a wall of sound. We find an intriguing spoken vocal which fits the groove, defining the narrative brilliantly. The big moment is the highly infectious 303 laced analogue bassline which invokes all kinds of nostalgia. A monster of a tune that is not to be missed.
