We welcome Ritz back at Piston Recordings, with his latest 
effort titled Love EP. This one follows his last outing, Mindset 
EP and marks his 23rd full release here, including albums, and 
not to mention appearances on the majority of our compilations. 
The output from Ricardo over the last several years has been 
nothing short of astonishing. The attention to detail and the 
sheer quality are simply breath-taking. Each track he produces 
carries a unique identity and he is able to shift between 
multiple genres, while retaining the essence of house music. 
Ricardo has built a solid reputation, with respect amongst his 
peers evident. He is the owner of Left Hook Recordings, which he 
continues to grow.

Love opens with a nice, thumping kick drum and scratchy hat 
combo. A hi string is joined by fading in vocals, which build a 
cool vibe. The track moves effortlessly into a full-on deep 
house groove with a meandering bassline and mesmerizing chord 
pads. Atmospheric and dancefloor friendly at the same time, a 
winning combination that is not to be missed.

95 Degrees Fahrenheit heats up the speakers with a smooth, jazzy 
ride. Shuffling hats join a hi string and subdued bass as warm 
chords fade up. A nice pumping kick drum comes through, settling 
us into the groove. Plucky bass synths deliver an analogue feel 
with a nostalgic edge to the track, piquing the interest. Funky 
keys add a dynamic trait making this one a must have.

Empathy rounds off this superb EP, taking us on a darker trip 
into deep house. Muted kicks lead the way alongside exotic 
percussions. A deep bassline dances through the track, adding a 
playful touch as sinister pads contrast. The atmosphere is 
chilling, creating a slow burning effect, enhanced by a haunting 
piano riff and sharp violins. Brighter, melodic elements lift 
the groove in the final act, for a starkly contrasting 
experience. Top-notch once again.
