Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two label fires back into action this Spring, with a mouthwatering collaboration between the label head honcho, and Jamie Jones, who needs no introduction. The release comes backed with remixes from house music stalwarts, Butch, and Ray Mono.

With a friendship and professional relationship that goes back years, Richy Ahmed and Jamie Jones have often paired up and sparred with each other, via ping pong-ing releases on the Hot Creations label, B2B DJ sets in Ibiza and beyond, to studio collaborations. Incredibly, these brace of tracks are the first officially released ‘fruits of their labour’ when it comes to their joint productions, and it’s most definitely worth the wait.

Entering stage left, ‘More Energy’ comes at a time when we’ve never needed it more; a rattling and spirited house groove and a playful organ riff lay the foundations for this industrious track, as the spoken refrains (from Richy Ahmed no less) comes as a call to arms and sealing off this bright and good times club cut. Likewise, energy levels are maintained on ‘I Need It’; banging house piano chops over an diligent 909 drum pattern, laced with rousing strings and female vox, it’s the sort of track that two seasoned pros like Ahmed & Jones are so good out carving out.

Two remixes of ‘I Need It’ are offered up here. Butch (Running Back/Hot Creations) serves up a seductive and breezy percussive version, featuring the kind of floating deepness that perfectly soundtracks sunsets and sunrises, whilst rising UK talent, Ray Mono, functions a groovy and swinging minimal remix that echoes the sweet sounds he’s been delivering for labels like Ben Rau’s META imprint and Deeperfect Records.

An all-star cast tastefully assembled then for another stellar release on Four Thirty Two.
