New York-based musician Ben Ritz has made an impressive debut with his latest release, “Lost and Happy,” on the Incienso label. This marks his third 12-inch record, following the success of “trope Insurance” on Seat Equity in 2019. The EP showcases Ritz’s signature tweaky and fleet-heeled trance techno style, demonstrating his growth and refinement as an artist.
With “Lost and Happy,” Ritz takes a slightly different approach, slowing down the tempo and focusing on intricate leads that create a captivating and immersive experience for the listener. The track “feel the rain” seamlessly blends classic trance basslines with Ritz’s distinct style, resulting in an emotive and hypnotic sound. “Firefly” takes a more experimental turn, featuring a cantering groove and chromatic twirl that adds a kinky touch to the music. The standout track “sos” takes listeners on a mind-bending journey with its bittersweet discord, while “rip” showcases Ritz’s collaboration with Aleksi Perälä, bringing together their unique styles and influences in a harmonious blend of colundi scaled techno trips.
Ritz’s “Lost and Happy” EP proves to be a captivating and diverse collection of tracks that highlight his talent and growth as an artist. With its unique blend of trance and techno elements, this release is a must-listen for fans of Ritz’s work as well as those interested in the genre. Don’t miss out on this excellent debut from Ben Ritz, which solidifies his position among the ranks of other influential artists in the electronic music scene.
