THAT'S HOUSE WITH SANDY RIVERA (USA), TODD TERRY (USA) & FRANKY RIZARDO (NETHERLANDS) ON CUP EVE
THAT’S HOUSE presents SANDY RIVERA (USA), TODD TERRY (USA) & FRANKY RIZARDO (NET). Three house music legends featured on the same line up for the first time - not to be missed.
SANDY RIVERA
As one of the most highly regarded producers of his - or any other - generation, Sandy Rivera's place in house music history is already assured. Recording under both his own name and his legendary 'Kings of Tomorrow' moniker, Rivera's unparalleled creativity and gift for forging timeless house records have placed him in a league of his own and without him, the house landscape would boast a far less richly coloured vista.
For many, Rivera will be best known for the seminal 'Finally', Kings of Tomorrow's magnum opus and a record that stands as one of the finest vocal house record ever made. Released on Defected Records - a label with which Rivera has enjoyed a staggeringly fruitful relationship over the years - 'Finally' still resonates more than a decade later. However, to only know 'Finally' is to merely scratch the surface of Rivera's exemplary catalogue.
TODD TERRY
Grammy Award nominated DJ/Producer Todd Terry has been engulfed in dance music since he first started listening to European dance music records while growing up in Brooklyn. Already devoted to turntables, he heard something different in those tracks, and he "went for the difference. I never got a break in New York, but England happened right away, so I catered to them." In any event, the Todd Terry sound was born.
Todd Terry hit big in England and Europe, and his notoriety was making its way back to the U.S. In addition to DJ appearances, Todd was cutting his classic underground tracks 'A Day In The Life,' 'Weekend,' and 'Can You Party,' released under monikers such as the Todd Terry Project, House Of Gypsies, and Royal House, all considered essential and ground breaking.
The first release on Ministry of Sound, 'Keep On Jumpin' featured a vocal workout from super-diva's Martha Wash and Jocelyn Brown, together for the first time ever. The song became a top 10 UK crossover pop hit and worldwide smash.
Todd followed with the anthem 'Somethin Going On', a top 5 UK crossover pop hit.
FRANKY RIZARDO
You must have heard of Franky Rizardo with his hugely refreshing approach to house music. Franky has established himself in the Dutch house music scene. Just back from his Australia tour, he's rapidly expanding his horizons across the world. With this experience you can expect a lot of him in 2015. Releases on Defected Records, Spinnin' and OFF Recordings show an increasingly strong production career with current Beatport hit 'Olympus' racing up the dance charts. His latest 'Deep Down & Defected' compilation generated 6 productions and remixes in the Beatport top 100 House and Deep House charts. As well as being Hardwell's favorite support DJ for his Ushuaia Ibiza events, Franky also performs with house music legends like MK and Dennis Ferrer.
With his weekly radio show 'Flow' on SLAM!FM in the Netherlands and on Sirius XM in the United States, Franky is ready to take the world with his refreshing deep house sound.
