Richard Spaven Spirit Beats

Combining machine-like accuracy with jazz-influenced improvisational sensibilities, Richard Spaven's
drumming has landed him gigs with vastly varied artists such as Flying Lotus, José James and
Mala, as well as recent recordings with Jordan Rakei, Alfa Mist and Sandunes. Unveiling his
forthcoming EP 'Spirit Beats', Spaven's musical talent is further demonstrated beyond his world-class
performance abilities, weaving his incredible technical skills into unique textured productions and powerful
compositions.

First single 'Hoodie Beats' begins amidst instant urgency. Atmospheric in mood, whilst relentless with its
accuracy, sub-bass locking into place with tight drums for a euphoric dance floor drop. Second single
'Nova' sees a continuation of the collaboration between Spaven and Jordan Rakei. Soul and substance
abound. Jordan delivers a delicate performance over the captivating harmony. Spaven says 'this is a
crazy beat to play. If you want to get technical - call it micro timing. If you don't - just call it hip hop'. 'Icarus
'88' brings a MC Barney Artist into the mix. Barney flows effortlessly over the micro shifted groove as
the tale unfolds. - synonymous with previous Spaven records, this ancestral drum beat of 'Spirit Beat'
soundtracks the sonic journey through this spiritual piece the harmony takes form, carrying the listener to
higher ground.

Spaven Will Release "Spirit Beats" Via Fineline Records On 25th of March 2022
