Richard Spaven has spent the last two decades developing a distinctive rhythmic approach that draws from jazz, hip hop, club music and drum & bass. Released on Edition Records, Light of Day sees him step forward as both bandleader and composer, with rhythm and movement at the centre of the music. Inspired by the forward-thinking sounds of 4 Hero, Alfa Mist and Quiet Village, the album balances intricate musicianship with a strong sense of momentum. Spaven's drumming shapes each piece from within, giving the compositions a fluid energy that moves easily between styles while remaining focused and direct. A stellar cast of collaborators includes Wildchild, Stuart McCallum, Petter Eldh, Nils Petter Molvær, Verneri Pohjola, Oli Rockberger, John Metcalfe and others, helping bring Spaven's expansive vision to life.
