CHESSTER — Ritmo EP Ft DJ Steaw

Chesster – Ritmo EP ft DJ Steaw lands on RUTILANCE RECORDINGS (catalogue RUTI032) as a 12-inch vinyl deep house EP that pushes the producer into a more introspective lane. The four-track release, issued on 25 September 2026, blends classic deep house roots with a contemporary polish, delivering groove-led warmth that feels both familiar and freshly personal. Within the RUTILANCE catalogue the EP follows the label’s recent output such as DJ Steaw’s “Emerald Coast EP” (RUTI030, 2025) and the “Space Opera EP” by Kicks (RUTI021, 2024), continuing a trajectory of melodic, dancefloor-oriented deep house. The presence of DJ Steaw on the closing mix ties the record back to the label’s identity, echoing his earlier work on “Rise LP 2x12” (RUTI001LP, 2018) and the collaborative “Vol.3 LP 2x12\"” (RUTI028, 2023). Side A opens with “Ritmo”, a title that suggests a pulse-driven groove. The track establishes a steady, rolling rhythm that sets a warm foundation for the EP, inviting DJs to layer it into early-set moments. Its counterpart, “Distant Horizon”, maintains the same deep house vibe while extending the atmosphere, offering a slightly more spacious feel that works as a bridge toward the B-side. Side B begins with “Take Me Higher”, a track that lifts the mood without abandoning the record’s core groove. Its uplifting character makes it suitable for peak-time transitions, yet it retains the refined sensibility introduced on the A-side. The record closes with “Ritmo (Club Mix) Feat Dj Steaw”, a reinterpretation that adds DJ Steaw’s signature touch, reinforcing the label’s aesthetic and providing a version ready for the main room. For Chesster, this EP arrives after the “Remember EP” on PIV RECORDS (catalogue PIV074, 2025), marking his first collaboration with RUTILANCE. The shift from high-energy peak tracks to a deeper, more nuanced sound reflects an evolution in his production approach, aligning with the label’s deep house focus. From a DJ’s perspective, the record offers two distinct moods: the A-side tracks are ideal for warm-up or back-to-back sets, while the B-side provides both a melodic lift and a club-ready mix that can close a set or re-energise the floor. Collectors will appreciate the continuity of the “Ritmo” theme across two cuts, as well as the involvement of label founder DJ Steaw, which adds a layer of label-centric authenticity. The release is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of the label’s recent deep house offerings and preserving the tactile experience valued by vinyl enthusiasts.
