Ronnie Spiteri – Rough Rider EP [Tronic]

Tronic needs no introduction for those who have followed dance music for the last 20 or so years. Since its inception back in 1994, Christian Smith has founded a label that constantly delivers top techno tracks year after year. Not only does he run the label, but also has his long-standing Tronic radio show, which is syndicated in more than over 100 countries worldwide.

Next up, UK artist Ronnie Spiteri with two huge originals and a remix from Dosem. Ronnie joins us on the crest of a wave with releases on We Are The Brave, Truesoul, and Knee Deep in Sound to name a few. His rolling tech style has also found favoured on the clubbing circuit with standout performances for Do Not Sleep, elrow and Sankeys.

Opening with ‘Rough Rider’ rubbery bass and tough kicks are soon joined by crisp hats and evolving side chained pads. Add in some Jamaican Dub adlibs and you have all the ingredients for a Spiteri stadium rocker! ‘Can You Feel It’ is a deep vibe but no less rolling. Growing in intensity stabs ricochet around the space creating a uniquely energetic feel. Dramatic throughout, this is heads down late-night stomping at its finest. On the remix, Dosem opts for a slower, more hypnotic direction seeking out the original ideas as only he can.
