ACC 003EP
|
Richard Davis is a gentleman with a proper musical history moving from London to Berlin in the late '90s and having some spectacular releases under his belt as a producer, composer, and a singer. As a vocalist, Richard has collaborated with, among others, Swayzak, Trentemøller, and Bomb The Bass. On Safety Net EP, he turns his composing skills back to the future and his voice and songs sound like post new wave meets 1980s Scott Walker. Alongside fantastic remixes by Hamburg's Ada, as well as Norwegian Berlin dude Jarle Bråthen, this EP is a masterful piece of modern pop music.

SAFER 001EP
|
Richard Davis presents Safer, his own platform to publish what has always characterized the artist himself -- somehow house, somehow pop, somehow indefinable. Somewhere between '80s inspiration, '90s house culture and a commitment to detail, Davis puts little rhythmic hooks in the right places and weaves samples into tracks without quoting at will. This is house music that has grown up, with vocals that make you want to shout "pop!" and carry a groove in the heart.

WNW 015EP
|
"Richard Davis the blackest 'Berlinglish' white boy on earth joins our Family with an epic anthem in the making. Richard's two albums (Safety, Details) are considered by many people as masterpieces of soulful house with a hard to describe haunting & spine-shivering but definite pop flavor. Time has passed since those beauty pearls were dropped so we are yet even more happy to see Richard coming back stronger and more vibrant and versatile than ever and most of all on, yet on our own imprint. As you know we do not release that many records, but if we do, we believe in them and them to stand the test of time. We think 'Cold Hard Facts' is such a tune. 'Cold Hard Facts' might sound like a struggling Mr. Davis, moaning about the inability to relax, to take a rest. Strong house beat, pushing basslines, and no melancholic vibe. Feels like a change and seems like he can really deal with the cold hard facts or at least he turns them into something enjoyable for the house connoisseurs among us. Mr. Nick Höppner, full time rocking with his mates of My My, seems to have spent his royalties for a nice holiday on African landscapes or so. Pal, where did you take all that swinging coconut klingeling attitude from? Ruede Hagelstein, based in Berlin too, goes full distance, his tricked-out Tuesday noon afterhour remix is an as-mental-as possible affair."

"Super limited hottie on one side in a epic, dub-heavy remix by Wave Music's pioneer Rob Rives, on the other side molded into a melancholic, acidic electro pop tune by Gui.Tar."
