RICOSHËI live house set in The Lab LA
RICOSHËI’s live house set for The Lab LA is a lesson in less-is-more, where a few well-chosen loops and a 909 can build entire worlds. We are watching the mixer channels with unhealthy intensity. The vibe is West Coast cool—minimal decor, clean sound, all focus on the rhythmic architecture. This is deep, instrumental house music with a steady 122.7 BPM pulse and a harmonic base in 12A.
The energy profile is profoundly low-end focused at 0.67, with mids at 0.28 and negligible highs at 0.05, crafting a sound that’s all warm, round bass and subtle percussion. The live aspect means tracks are often deconstructed and extended, with Manuel Sahagun's 'Memories' allowed to evolve over a staggering 19 minutes. For selectors, JAW's 'Pop' in the Stefan Vincent Remix is a perfect, driving opener. Boo Williams' 'Back to the Music' is a timeless, deep house anthem that provides a sublime, heads-down closing moment.
DjOriol's edit of 'MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER WITH YOU' is a cheeky, effective nod to filter-house nostalgia, while Vincenzo's 'Just Like Heaven' in a Dave DK Remix is a shimmering, melodic highlight. The journey begins with the crisp, rhythmic 'Pop', weaves through the extended, hypnotic narrative of 'Memories', and lands gently on the classic, bass-driven solace of 'Back to the Music'.
