I had first heard of Riva Starr with his collaboration with the one and only Fat Boy Slim on the track ‘Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat’ which made waves at the start of summer last year and even drew a remix by Calvin Harris. Riva Starr aka Stefano Miele the DJ/Producer has been positively praised and raising a few eyebrows over the past few years combining his unique mix of relevant remixes, bouncing grooves, brass-heavy interpretations to a dance and house seen that can often seem cluttered; Riva Starr adds colour to rooms with all white walls.
From the moment he walked on stage the huge crowd let rip an uncurtail-able roar, the roar had its own sustaining power and from the first beat dropped the audience turned into a lively mass of movement, reconfirming their energy and life with every move made, made easier and easier as Riva puts out a cheeky remix and a divine bootleg.
Whilst Stefano has been praised by the heavyweight likes of A-trak and Annie Mac he remains humble and modest, regarding his own music he has said ‘Music is all about freedom, inspiration and fun, and the one sound I never tend to turn to for inspiration is… well… my own…!’ Even if he doesn’t find the music he produced particularly inspiring I sure as hell do, and I can’t wait to dance an evening away with him again.
