RIVIERA TRAXX Vinyl & CDs

Review: Few sounds transport you to another time and place as quickly as a well-made Italo or Balearic house record. The synths just bring that Mediterranean sunshine into your life as soon as they stretch out over silky 90s house beats. And that's what happens here across four cuts of dream-laced four-four magic from Rivera Traxx on the Groovin label. 'Parfume 1' is super smooth and humid, 'Parfume 2' brings a little more late-night funk to the drum patterns and 'Hey Hey' is a tougher cut for the dance floor. 'Love' is a blissful balmy number packed with romantic feels.
