about

Combining machine-like accuracy with jazz-influenced improvisational sensibilities, Richard Spaven’s drumming has
landed him gigs with vastly varied artists such as Loyle Carner, Flying Lotus, José James and Mala, as well as recent recordings
with Jordan Rakei, Alfa Mist, Clark 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, subbass
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.
