Ri Za – Name Not Important [Balkan Connection]

Ri Za returns to Balkan Connection this week with a brand new single entitled ‘Name Not Important’. The Slovakian artist last appeared on the Serbian label in January of 2017 with his ‘Semi Cream’ EP. Now following releases on ICONYC and Pangea Recordings, Riza returns to Balkan Connection with a new single alongside remixes from Pysh and Mad Bear.

Recording under both Ri Za and also his Just Hear alias, the Slovakian artist is quite diverse so each production always comes across quite fresh. 'Name Not important' is a groovy slice of progressive house with a bit of a trippy edge to it. The groove comes across quite club friendly, perfectly sculpted with an abundance of warmth. The delicate lead themes although not 'in your face' are rhythmic and powerful while the main break brings just the right emotive touch.

The first remix is supplied by Pysh who is making his first appearance on Balkan Connection. The Polish artist is best known for his work on Einmusika, Manjumasi and Steyoyoke. Now making his Balkan Connection debut Pysh provides a stellar rendition of ‘Name Not Important’. There’s something distinctly european and modern about this but also a touch old school as well. It’s an interesting contrast which is highlighted by a big lead riff and rolling rhythmic core, building tactfully towards a peak time crescendo.

The second and final remix on the release is provided by Mad Bear who is also making his label debut following releases on One Of A Kind and Symmetric Records. Aptly coined ‘Fickle Fairy’ Mad Bear injects some cosmic sounding vocal elements into a rugged groove. The electricity contained within the framework can’t be overstated with razor sharp electronics and dynamic percussion leading the concise six minute journey. A killer remix from Mad Bear which rounds out another excellent offering from Balkan Connection. Don’t miss it.
