Deep House
Rico’s “Deep Down Inside” Strikes The Miami Dance Floors
Paris-born, Miami-based RICO takes his French touch to the U.S. and gets great talents involved. He’s making a strong statement on his new imprint Bimini Records: “This is our best release so far because it defines our record label, we don’t want to be stuck only in one genre!”
RICO started to DJ in the late 90s with his friend Popof in France. In 2004, he created Oxygen Records, which featured the first Drum’n Bass song with French lyrics. the label was supported by Laurent Garnier. 10 years later, Rico launches his new project: BIMINI RECORDS. “We wanted to bring something new and give a chance to a few very talented artists as well!”
DEEP DOWN INSIDE was recorded in Miami by RICO, it includes remixes by Denver B, XPANS, and Dubelu. All of them are based in South Florida.
“I am very proud of this release, with his remix, Denver takes the Tech-house road, while XPANS goes old school with Chicago House and Dubelu seals it with a dark deep house vibe. In regards to my original song, I’ll let you judge for yourself!”
B-side features the song KATIE, a Deep House hit with a groovy bass line and out-there synths, the catchy female vocals and pads invite you to a musical journey you won’t forget.
In Paris, Rico was involved in the infamous “Suck my Beat” gigs at Rex Club, and performed regularly with the Freestylers. Rex Club is the venue where a French duo by the name of Daft Punk performed live on a regular basis.
“During my years of Djing in Europe, I always liked to go different directions, Matt Cantor aka The Freestylers is a true inspiration not only because of his presence on stage, but also with his selection, you never know what he is going to play next. I think that’s what a great DJ is about, finding the right compromise between playing that song everyone is dying to hear again and that song nobody has heard before…”

7-time Grammy nominated artist Kaskade drops his highly anticipated REDUX 006 EP, featuring 7 deep, dynamic tracks that illustrate exactly what his beloved brand is all about. “Brighter,” featuring Emmit Fenn, perfectly sets the tone for the EP’s sonic atmosphere with its dramatic flair, all cinematic melodies, and reverberating synths for a goosebump-inducing beginning.
The next ones in line are, among others, “About Us” – which engages Kaskade’s signature Deep House grooves with Garage-inspired elements, “Meaning Of Love” with Digital Youth – weaving Lo-fi melodies for a loungey, sultry experience; “Turn You Up” with Winn Winn where the iconic producer incorporates spoken-word vocals over a deep production style, warming things up for perhaps the EP’s most crowd-pleasing record – “On My Way,” which features a driving bassline and plenty of groove.
REDUX has been a fan-favorite sound of Kaskade’s since its inception a decade ago, and its sixth iteration shows that he’s not going to stop heating up dancefloors across the globe anytime soon.
As a household name in electronic music for nearly two decades, Kaskade needs no introduction. His list of achievements is a mile long: 12 studio albums, 7 GRAMMY nominations, the first solo electronic dance artist to sell out both Navy Pier in Chicago and the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the first DJ to ever secure a Las Vegas residency, and the first electronic artist to headline Coachella.
Having worked on collaborations with, e.g., Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, and Meghan Trainor, he has the unique talent of creating his signature sound in any genre. Additionally, he has been one of the electronic artists leading the charge into the gaming world and, to date, is the only musician to conceptualize and create an entire season of music for video game giant Rocket League.
In 2021, Kaskade came out of quarantine swinging as the first-ever solo headlining musician to sell out and perform for a public event at LA’s SoFi Stadium. Most recently, in 2022, he teamed up with deadmau5 to form Kx5. Kaskade’s influence on dance music has shaped the culture for generations of listeners, continuing to wow longtime and new fans alike with every new release.
