12" with Full Printed Sleeve - Remixes by ADA and Jarle Bråthen

Info Text
Richard Davis is a gentleman with a proper musical history moving from London to Berlin in the late 90s and having some spectacular releases under his belt as a producer, composer and a singer. As a vocalist Richard has collaborated with, among others, Swayzak, Trentemøller and Bomb The Bass. On his new EP "Safety Net" he is turning his composing skills back to the future and his voice and songs are sounding quite like Post New Wave meets 1980s Scott Walker.

Alongside with fantastic remixes by Hamburg´s one and only Ada as well as Norwegian Berlin dude Jarle Bråthen this massive EP is a masterful piece of modern pop music.

RE-RELEASE! How could you better counteract the current status quo that has arrived in clubmusic than with calling your label Safer and daring everything? While 90% of the labels and artists try to sound like authentic minimal or house, with Safer Richard Davis takes the logical step into the artists own stable. His own platform to publish what always has characterized Richard Davis, somehow house, somehow pop, somehow indefineable despite a production which oozes references. The name Safer which referres to his album "safety" on Punkt Music is cleverly chosen. Safer in the sense of holding the reins in your own hands this time and being independent from the release-planning-craze of former independent labels in an age of "spat-out-digital- bonus-tracks" and being able to decide yourself about the format and choice of tracks. After two albums and cooperations with Trentemöller, Swayzak and Bomb the Bass and producing timeless tracks like "Bring Me Closer" you can safely assume that this man has arrived. Arrived somewhere between 80s inspiration, 90s house culture and a way of production that is committed to detail, manages without playing to the gallery, puts little rhythmic hooks in the right places and weaves samples into the tracks without quoting at will.British understatement. With Safer 001 Davis links to Details. Just 5 years later. House music which sounds like the fulfilled promise from 1992. Music that has grown up and hasn´t suffered any loss of it´s beauty. Vocals which make you want to shout pop and carry a groove in the heart that has never been more challenging.
It will be a good spring in Berlin when Richard Davis releases his first record for 3 years in april.
