Riz La Teef // Keep Hush live Indecent Takeover
Nothing says 'I trust this dancefloor' like dropping an Outkast acapella over a funky house beat. Riz La Teef's Indecent Takeover set is a love letter to the joyful, genre-blending spirit of UK funky house and garage. The vibe is pure joy, a room where classic samples get a fresh lick of paint and everyone knows the words. With an average BPM of 137, it sits in that sweet spot between house swing and garage skip, harmonically navigating between 3B and 12A for a smooth, soulful flow.
The energy is wonderfully low-slung (70% in the lows), prioritizing bass weight and groove over aggressive peaks. Riz's mixing is playful and musical, often using acapellas and classic vocal snippets to create new narratives over timeless rhythms. The crate is full of gems. Opening with 'Outkast - The Way You Move' is an instant mood-lifter.
'DJ Spen & DJ Technic - Gabryelle (D-Malice Re-Fix)' is a gospel-tinged house monster. 'Multiply - You Know' is a garagey roller, and 'I'c - Funky House and a Coupla Dubs' as the closer is a self-referential wink. Dropping a 10-minute edit of 'Wu-Tang Clan - Bring Da Ruckus' shows a fearless commitment to the vibe. The journey from that soulful Outkast opener, peaking with the spiritual lift of 'Gabryelle', and closing on the cheeky title of 'Funky House and a Coupla Dubs' is a lesson in warm, inclusive party science.
