Loods - Riviera

Australian producer Loods releases feel-good house single 'Riviera' via Club Sweat. 'Riviera' juxtaposes clean percussion samples with a raw 909 drum pattern, creating a dynamic instant classic. The disco inspired house groover is sure to light up dancefloors around the globe! Loods explains how the track came together, 'it's impossible to predict the trajectory a track will take. 'Riviera' started life as a beautiful sample that I thought made a really catchy club tool. But it quickly became one of the biggest moments in every set I was playing. After Club Sweat expressed the same enthusiasm for 'Riviera' as I felt on those pre-lockdown dancefloors, it felt like the right time home for the track.' Emerging from Newcastle - Australia, Loods is part of a growing underground Australian dance music scene, tributing elements of classic filtered French touch and Chicago house. Relocating to London in 2018, Loods garnered attention after releasing two sold-out records on longtime friend Mall Grab's Steel City Dance Discs label. Further cementing him as a talent in the scene, Loods played a Boiler Room set at London's iconic Southbank Centre, and toured extensively throughout the UK and Europe. Having received regular support from BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM, NTS and triple j, Loods went on to release summer anthem 'Walking Away' which Annie Mac labelled 'Hottest Record In The World', leading the release to score rotation on BBC Radio 1. More recently, the Australian talent released 'Pure Bliss Meltdown', a peak-time Italo burner that Pete Tong quickly made his Essential New Tune. This was soon followed by the Gummi EP, a three-track exploration of synthwave house on Patrick Topping's Trick Label. With a recent remix of globally respected producer Purple Disco Machine's 'Hypnotized', Loods now returns to Sweat for the release of 'Riviera'.
