Richard Spaven (Album Launch)

Additional information

With roots in the UK club and hip-hop scenes, Richard Spaven brings a fresh approach to the instrument that’s at once modern and traditional. 

 

Combining machine-like accuracy with jazz influenced improvisational sensibilities, Spaven’s drumming has landed him gigs with UK rapper Loyle Carner, Guru of hip-hop duo Gang Starr, producer Flying Lotus, vocalist José James and Brainfeeder artist Jameszoo. 

 

Spaven’s brilliance is evident beyond his world-class performance abilities; he’s equally impressive in production and compositional territories. In collaboration with Alfa Mist, Spaven co-writes and releases as 44th Move.

 

Altogether, the drummer’s tone could be described as a nod to the past while keeping an ear toward the future. Much like his compositions, Spaven’s drumming is elusive and genre-defying.
