Stephen Richards, a producer who has shaped his presence in the nu-disco and re-edit landscape since 2017, paused his beloved radio show Disco Daze last year, choosing to channel his energy into music production. That decision now bears fruit with the release of the Winter Sunshine EP on Fingerman’s esteemed Hot Digits Music – a label synonymous with forward-thinking dancefloor sounds.
Richards brings a deft touch to these three tracks, blending his rhythmic precision with the timeless soul of vintage disco.
• Winter Sunshine: A dreamy, mid-tempo journey where hypnotic synths and nostalgic female vocal samples intertwine with laidback guitars.
• Gynoid: A shimmering blend of Italian disco flair and Italo-disco squelch, pulsing with kinetic energy.
• Beat Don’t Stop: A warmly layered nu-disco anthem that radiates with subtle complexity.
Chewy Rubs is in for the kill as he reimagines Winter Sunshine into a House stormer, injecting it with bold intensity while preserving its glowing heart.
The Winter Sunshine EP is proof that Richards’ dedication to craft continues to push the boundaries of his sonic artistry, but more than that, it underscores his ability to distill House and Disco influences into an enduring essence while reimagining them for a new generation of listeners.
With the Winter Sunshine EP, Stephen Richards solidifies his place as a visceral artist still growing, pushing his own boundaries sonically.
